Boy, has it been a busy month. We’re in the process of acquiring DVD copies of films only previously available as VHSes in our collection. While we probably won’t be buying Celebrity Deathmatch <\/i><\/a>or Dance Workout with Barbie<\/a><\/i> again, we’re hope you enjoy our expanding collection of old and forgotten gems.<\/p>\n

But we certaintly didn’t forget to get new titles either! Our most recent additions include Academy-Award nominees Wreck-It Ralph<\/i> and The Impossible<\/i>, crowdpleaser Star Trek Into Darkness<\/i>, conspiracy documentary Room 237<\/i>, new films from notable directors like Joss Whedon and Steven Soderbergh, <\/i>and acclaimed television shows like Luck<\/i> and The Thick of It<\/i>. We love it. We love it more than sharks love blood. <\/p>\n

Read on for a full list…
