Deal of the week
Walmart always has some decent DVDs in their discount bin. You have to sift through a lot of bad discs like Ford Fairlane and Hudson Hawk to find the good discs but sometimes its worth it.
For $6.88 I found a two disc special edition of The Osterman Weekend (1983). This was the last film that Sam Peckinpah directed and has a great cast. The movie is mediocre but it has a high definition film transfer and DTS sound. The second disc has a 78 minute documentary about the film.
The second disc that I found was The Gathering Storm (2002). It’s an HBO film that is a favourite of mine.

It has a great picture, and DTS sound! I’ve seen that movie. It was really, really, really bad. Of course, having read the book (I’m a huge fan of Ludlum) I may have been biased there.

They showed this as part of a big Peckinpah retrospective at Cinematheque Ontario recently. Now I’m curious to see it.
