DVD CatDog the complete series
My local Walmart had copies. I don't know if some were found in a warehouse or sets are beginning to be pressed again or what. Its been OOP for a few years now and going for big bucks. I kicked myself for not getting it for $20 when I could.
Now all of a sudden its back, still only $20. Four copies anyway, now three after I left the store.
My favorite old nicktoon. Even better than Ren & Stimpy imo.

Visited the last official music and movie store left, in my city (Platekompaniet), and also two different second hand stores. Yet, for the first time (maybe ever?), I left completly empty handed, as none of the stuff inside, tempted me, or felt much interesting. But I guess where the main difference, was more down to how damn pricy the horror, cult and exploitation films has become.
I already knew, that there were insanely overpriced on import titles, but it would have left me dried completely up, if I had picked up, none more than 5-6 titles, and with those kind of prices, I felt it was the right thing to do, save money and maybe instead have more luck, later this year, with one or more internet purchases.

Recently gifted an import DVD of Screamers. Kinda a hidden gem. The story actually makes sci-fi sense, Weller and Rubin deliver. Yeah, Screamers is quite a thrill of enjoyable blend of horror, action and sci-fi, at times, maybe one which might have suited up as a fine double-bill along with Starship Troopers (1997). Weller is great here, and I kind of wished the film would have turned into a franchise, but I believe it got a much later "sequel", which I have yet to see for now.

Oh man, I really went out on this one. I have not picked up much movies the last couple of months, and I was very motivated to visit a few second hand stores and record store left in my city, not many of those but I rather have those few, than none. Anyway, to my pleasant surprise, it turned out that one of the best and most impressive second hand stores, which somehow have completely dodged me for years, and well, suddenly there it was. Probably the closest I can think of, as the "perfect" movie, music and comic book store, as I must have spent about 2-3 hours inside, and still felt like I had just seen the tip of the ice berg.
So much to see, so little time, and well, I know one thing. It will not be my last visit, and I loved how much care and thought were put into the store and also that the people who owned it, seemed very nice and friendly, but also like they shared a lot of the same love as their customers. Have sadly not experienced that much lately, while browsing and visiting a few similar, but very small or pricy second hands shops, where I probably will not return ever again.
Anyway, I cannot write about every single item, but damn, I felt like a kid in a huge candy store, and while leaving behind a lot of money, I know that with those friendly prices, great and varied collection of all kind of genres (lots and lots of my kind of movies and music), it would probably be ridiculous amount of money, if I had purchased them anywhere else, at least of that I know.
Well, here is todays movies, music and books that I got hold of:
Sleep Well Professor Oliver (1989) - VHS
Hm, I thought this was a movie, but turns out (according to several places) that this is in fact a tv-episode, but it is released as a full length film with Louis Gossett Jr, Michael Rooker and Cynthia Nixon among the many notable names. Never seen, but it was a nice yellow big box rental release, and surprisingly the VHS tapes I picked up, were incredibly cheap, as I have noticed that in Norway, these titles, even lesser ones, as long as the come in Big Box style, the prices go right through the roof.
Into the Sun (1991) - VHS
Another big box rental cassette tape, which I also picked up, only because of certain names, and the cheap price. Damn, I love the smell of VHS rental store, which appear the very moment you open up the cover. Not sure if the film is much impress, but comes with quite a lively cast, where Anthony Michael Hall, Michael Pare and Terry Kiser is among the main crew, or so the cover says.
Gridlock (1996) - VHS
Another tv-movie, trying to be sold as an 80s action movie, starring David Hasselhoff, and well, along with Kathy Ireland that alone made me interested to see if it might be a enjoyable late night cheesy b-movie flick.
Outrageous Fortune (1987) - VHS
Another one, which I only went for, due to some noticable names, and because I have a certain "thing" for Shelly Long, not so much Bette Midler, but she can be quite funny, so I do hope it might be a positive surprise. If not, well, again, very cheap in price, and came with the Norwegian title of: Gjøk Over Gjøk aka Cuckoo Over Cuckoo, which I have not idea why they went for.
Crime Story 2 (1986) - VHS
And another tv-movie or tv-episode released as a full length film, under the alternative Norwegian title of: Gangster Bossen or The Gangster Boss. Again, Dennis Farina, Joe Polito, Darlene Fluegel, Stepen Lang and yeah, lots of familiar Michael Mann names and also Todd Rundgren doing the soundtrack.
By the Sword (1991) - VHS
Not sure what to expect with this one. Some says it is a drama-thriller, where the video cassette tries to sell it out as an martial arts/action film, almost like Highlander. Anyway, Eric Roberts and F. Murray Abraham stars, along with Mia Sara, so yeah, probably not a hidden gem, but will hope it could bring forward some fun.
Vampires: Los Muertos (2002) - DVD
I really enjoy the original film by John Carpenter, but either have I completly forgotten it got a sequel, or well, it seems like it tried to follow the same path as the direct to video release of From Dusk Till Dawn, but yeah, not expecting much, but cheap price and kind of want to see where it might go from here on. Such a shame the original cast, could not return along with Carpenter, for another ride.
Save the Tiger (1973) - DVD Red Corner (1997) - DVD Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) - DVD Lifeboat (1944) - DVD Naked City (1948) - DVD The Whip and the Body (1963) - DVD The Father (2020) - DVD The Black Hole (1979) - DVD Batman: Death in the Family (2020) - Blu-ray Phantom of Death (1987) - DVD Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) - DVD Evilspeak (1981) - DVD The Train (1964) - DVD Pink Flamingos (1972) - DVD My Better Halves (2020) - DVD Spetters (1980) - DVD Walker (1987) - DVD Mindhorn (2016) - DVD Pump Up the Volume (1990) - DVD When We Were Kings (1996) - DVD Anna Holt: The White Knight (1994) - DVD Cutter's Way (1981) - DVD Sabata (1969) - DVD Pleasantville (1998) - Blu-ray Suspect (1987) - DVD Soul Man (1986) and 18 Again! (1988) - DVD Run (1991) - DVD No Small Affair (1984) - DVD The Accused (1988) - DVD The Big Easy (1986) - DVD Echoes in the Darkness (1987) - DVD Three Fugitives (1989) - DVD The Fourth Protocol (1987) - DVD Stormy Monday (1988) - Blu-ray Golden Ninja Warrior (1986) - DVD The Gladiator (1986) - DVD Eskimo Nell (1975) - DVD The Edge (1997) - DVD The Thin Blue Line (1988) - DVD Slaughter (1972) - DVD The Wild Angels (1966) - DVD Twilight Zone: The Movie (1984) - DVD The Black Cat (1934) - DVD Easy Money (1983) - DVD The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eight Dimension (1984) - DVD Ninja Terminator (1985) - DVD Eyes Without a Face (1960) - DVD Blastfighter (1984) - DVD The Man Who Killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot (2018) - DVD House of the Long Shadows (1983) - DVD Swamp Girl (1971) and Swamp Country (1966) - DVD Class (1983) - DVD The Island of the Fishmen (1979) and The Fishmen and their Queen (1995) - DVD Paradise Alley (1978) - Blu-ray
Eve of Destruction (1991) - DVD
Another one, which I have somehow never gotten around to see. Of course it has been put up (several times) on Youtube, but I kind of wanted to find a decent DVD copy, and well, hopefully I have. The artwork screams Paul Verhoeven sci-fi/action, all the way. And it does sound like a rather promising and fun ride.
Street Trash (1987) - Blu-ray
Another one, that I have a Synapse DVD of, but yeah, this rather solid looking 88 Films release just had to come home with me.
Knightriders (1981) - Blu-ray
Own the Anchor Bay release, but thought about upgrading it to this very nice looking Arrow Video Blu-ray edition. Always thought of it as one of the more underrated films of George A. Romera. Loved the story and characters, and that also Tom Savini put in such a big part as well.
Armed Response (1986) - DVD
Just gotta have this one with me, as the cover art, features a laughing Michael Berryman along with David Carradine and Lee Van Cleef. However, knowing the "masterful" Fred Olen Ray is behind it all, I am not so sure it will be that much fun.
Relentless (1989) - DVD
Finally I got this one, as I have been wanting to give it a go. Think it was Lostinlimbo who wrote some nice things about it, and the thought of Judd Nelson playing a murderous psycho, in a William Lustig film, with Robbert Loggia on his trail, well that sounds rather good to me.
Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat (1990) - Blu-ray
Part of the solid Vestron Video Collector s Series, and one I only got around to see, last year through Youtube. Enjoyed it quite well. A bit quirky yet fun wester-vampire style, with solid performances by David Carradine, Bruce Campbell and Deborah Foreman. Almost picked up The Wraith (1986) through the same release series, but since I already own two DVD copies of it, and these were part of an import series, I went for a film, I did not own. Might pick up the latter, later on, but yeah, it is fun and quite good, but not that good, that I need three releases of the same title.
The Batman (2022) - DVD
Went for the DVD, as I am not sure this film will be my kind of fun, but will give it a go, and hopefully it might prove me wrong. If not, well then it is not the end of the world. However, what is up with these godawful generic and just horrible looking DVD/Blu-rays artworks? Everything looks so damn random, but yeah, it is what is inside that counts, or so I hope. But 3 hours is a long time, and would not surprise me, if within a couple of months, another extended 4 hours release will be put out.
Batman: The Long Halloween Part 2 (2021) - Blu-ray
I was not exactly "thrilled" about Part 1, which I thought of as a bit of a let down, but maybe the second part is where they saved the best for last. One can always hope.
Carnival of Souls (1962) - DVD
Decided to pick it up, as I felt this could benefit with a second go, from my Halloween October watch, during 2020.
Do Not Disturb (1999) - DVD
I already own it on DVD, but this came with subtitles (Norwegian as well), and I always liked the over the top cheese it comes so much with, and also the lively and wild performances by Michael Chicklis, and yeah, the great use of Amsterdam city, specially during the night scenes.
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) - Blu-ray
Already own it on DVD, but this nice looking Arrow Video release, was surely too tempting, to let sit behind.
Gator Bait (1974) and Gator Bait 2: Cajun Justice (1988) - DVD
Only seen a bit of part 2, but always wanted to see both of these revenge exploitation releases, and hope they might live up to my expectations.
Southern Comfort (1981) - DVD
Well, I only got to re-watch this incredible film, a few weeks back. Did not love it as much when I first saw it, back in summer of 2015. But now, with another go, it suddenly felt like a whole new movie. Sadly, my old Norwegian DVD (must be over 20 years at least), did not provide a worthy picture and sound quality, and when I saw the 2012 Second Sight release, I felt maybe this one did it a bit better justice, or so I really hope.
On the music front, it has been rather quiet for some time. I guess I have not really been looking for that, more movies and comics, but could not resist to give in, when I picked a some I have been on the look out for, quite some time, others I have only just recently been searching for, but never thought I would find them for such a cheap price, and in such great condition.
The Church - Gold Afternoon Fix (1990) - CD The Church - Priest = Aura (1992) - CD The Church - Heyday (1985) - CD The Church - Remote Luxury (1984) - CD
I fell in love with the album Starfish (1988) last fall, and sadly, it seems like many of the their earlier albums was almost "impossible" to find, due to many being out of production, and where some, like Heyday went for such high prices, that I thought the chances were small to find it for any less. So to my surprise, finding not just one, but 3-4 in the same shop, for the price of nothing. Well, that was hopefully one of the highlights of todays impulsive shopping.
Joy Division - Closer (1980) - CD
Already own the much earlier (probably a 1992 release) but the sound quality never really impressed me, so about time to upgrade (hopefully) for this 2007 double disc edition, which also comes with a bonus live disc.
Brand X - Unorthodox Behaviour (1976) - CD The Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack (1992) - CD Once Upon a Time in America Soundtrack (1984) - CD Dances With Wolves Soundtrack (1990) - CD Midnight Express Soundtrack (1978) - CD Thin Lizzy - Nightlife (1974) - CD Backstreet Girls - Boogie Till You Puke (1988) - CD Kraftwerk - The Mix (1991) - CD Batman Returns Soundtrack (1992) - CD Death Wish 4 : The Crackdown/10 To Midnight/Murphy's Law/Tough Guys Don't Dance/X-Ray - CD
This one, I was very happy to find. Never knew that the beautiful Arabella's Theme from Murphy's Law (1986), had been put out on a CD, but I just had to have it, only because of that. The rest, not sure what to expect, but seems like a Cannon Pictures movie score release, with a bit of "everything" from Charles Bronson, to slasher films and yeah, something for everyone.
And one book, but a rather damn fine looking one as well:
Film Posters of the 50s: The Essential Movies of the Decade (2001)
I got a few of these books with huge and lovely movie posters from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and up to the 70s, by my late uncle. This however, seems to be more of a mix of "everything" back then, and from classics to campy sci-fi cult films and then onto darker film noir releases, and every page is a nice memory of how great and most likely hard and creative work, were put into making these adventurous posters and art works, to help sell the film, to as many as possible.
All in all, I did end up re-purchasing a few titles. Some I have "disowned/thrown out", not because I hated them, but maybe I just was not in the right mood, and well, those I got today, actually looks like far better releases, so hopefully some improvement might happen.
Well, it might be some time until I do a bit of more movie shopping, but when you suddenly enter a whole new place, so damn full of everything, and yeah, my senses when completely berserk, and I loved feeling that way, as it has been so many years since that has happened when arriving a shop or store, which I have never been to, and if they continue on delivering these kind of interesting and varied films, I will sure be back, again and again. Maybe not overdoing it as today, but hell, it has been some time since last shopping round, and at least I do have some movies to look forward seeing this summer, so I sure hope it might be a pleasant run of hidden gems coming up.

Another visit to the same second hand music, movie, comic book store as last week, and again it turned out to be a very interesting few gems, that suddenly appeared. I had started to browse through a few of the movie CD soundtracks, but did not have enough time, nor "motivation", as I had already spent almost hours there, and then earlier visited a few ones before that.
Commando (1985) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by James Horner (2005) - CD
This is the one I have been wanting, ever since 2002-03, and it says it is a Limited Edition of 3000 copies 2005 digital remaster, released by LaLaLandRecords and has a total of 21 original tracks, with 3 bonus ones as well. There is also a nice and rather "juicy" booklet with lots of writings by Jeff Bond, titled "Going Commando".
Last week, I did almost pick up the rather expensive original soundtrack CD of Predator (1987), but I kind of felt that if I spent a bit more time and patience within the movie soundtrack section, I just might find a few more interesting ones, and yeah, for me, Commando certainly is far more enjoyable as a soundtrack that Predator, which I feel fits more with the film, not so much on its own, like the James Horner score.
Anyway, I could not wait to come home to give it a blast on the stereo, and it sounds damn great, just as I had expected it. Love those huge tropical steel drums, the pulsasting synths and the sleazy saxophone. It might not be among the very best Arnie scores, but so much fun and melodic and upbeat rhythms, I am gonna use this for all its worth under excersise and running outdoors, so motivating and fun to use when you are running (not letting" out of some steam, and need a bit uplifting energy back to keep on going.
The Accidental Tourist (1988) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by John Williams (1988) - CD
Another favorite film, which surely benefits from the beautiful and atmospheric score by John Williams. Have been meaning of picking it up, but some of the prices on the internet, has just been way too much, and never seems to go the other way around. So again, very pleased to find this soundtrack, in almost brand new condition, and for a whole more friendly price as well.
Black Rain (1989) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - CD
A bit of various artists and Hans Zimmer, but I always enjoyed the score, specially by Zimmer in this very enjoyable eastern meets west action-buddy cop thriller.
Goblin - Beyond the Darkness (2014) - CD
Seems to be an interesting collection of different cuts from several films of the 70s and into the 90s and early 00s.
Hardware (1990) Original Music Soundtrack - CD
This one, among with Commando and The Accidental Tourist, has to be of those three, which surely I felt the most happy about today. Did not even know, an official CD score had been put out, and this one contains not only the Simon Boswell instrumentals, but also a few of the songs featured in the film, like Public Image Ltd. and Ministry.
Not too many movies purchased this time, as my focus was pretty much on the music business, but still managed to find a few that I hope can be of interest later on:
Fatal Blade - 2000 - DVD
Ah, typical. I had seen this, years ago, and maybe under a different alternative title/DVD artwork. Well, maybe it might deliver more on a second run
Dream Lover (1993) - DVD
Always had a soft spot for early 90s erotic thrillers, great to keep you "cool" during hot summer nights, or just "doze off" to when laying in bed. But I guess what made me pick it up, was the lovely Mädchen Amick. Do not expect too much, but if is sleazy and rather fun, then maybe it might be something to hold onto.
Then I contintuned on with going for a few mor VHS titles, most in big box format, and again to some very nice prices, especially for Norwegian releases, which somehow goes for "murderous" prices online, even if the films are kind of crap.
My Chauffeur (1986) - VHS
Not seen, but Deborah Foreman and 80s comedy, well I felt for such a kind price, it looked like something that I might take a "gamble" on bringing home.
Born to Race (1988) - VHS
Some familiar faces and names, but not quite sure what this might turn out as. Yet the VHS artwork is pure gold, and makes it looks like a damn "classic".
All-American Murder (1991) - VHS
This one, I have been interested to see for a while. Maybe due to the impressive artwork on some newly arrived Blu-ray, or that Christopher Walken is among the cast.
Evil Ed (1997) - VHS
I believe I had or picked up the exact same film, on DVD a few years ago. Not sure if ever kept the DVD or threw it out, but thought it might get another chance, and maybe this time, it might stay in my collection.
The Rosary Murders (1987) - VHS
Only picked up, because of Donald Sutherland and Charles Durning.
Temptation (1994) - VHS
Another one of those late night cable thrillers, with a plot that feels somewhat rather well known, but that features a few known names like Jeff Fahey and David Keith.
Absolute Blue Monday aka Absolut Blå Mandag (1998) - VHS
Norwegian "classic?" or not, it does pack some heavy names and talents, but most likely one of those, that never will see the day it might be put out on DVD or Blu-ray.
Joy of Sex (1984) - VHS
One of the random 80s teen sex titles, which has been showing up, every now and then while browsing through Youtube, and well, the video cassette artwork looked very 80s and it also features names like Ernie Hudson, Coleen Camp and Christopher Lloyd. Probably not some overlooked "gem", but yeah, what the heck?
Also, the Norwegian alternative title is Sex på hjernen or Sex on the brain, which I guess was not unusual back then, a whole lot of sex and spicy alternative titles put out.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Split Second (1992) were also purchased in the very last minute. Saw it laying around the desk, while about to pay for my items, and while I already own the film (twice) on DVD, this The Cult Movie Collection by 101 Films, looked rather tempting, and had a lot of fun while re-watching it a while back.

Absolute Blue Monday aka Absolut Blå Mandag (1998) - VHS Norwegian "classic?" or not, it does pack some heavy names and talents, but most likely one of those, that never will see the day it might be put out on DVD or Blu-ray. Joy of Sex (1984) - VHS One of the random 80s teen sex titles, which has been showing up, every now and then while browsing through Youtube, and well, the video cassette artwork looked very 80s and it also features names like Ernie Hudson, Coleen Camp and Christopher Lloyd. Probably not some overlooked "gem", but yeah, what the heck? Also, the Norwegian alternative title is Sex på hjernen or Sex on the brain, which I guess was not unusual back then, a whole lot of sex and spicy alternative titles put out. Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Split Second (1992) were also purchased in the very last minute. Saw it laying around the desk, while about to pay for my items, and while I already own the film (twice) on DVD, this The Cult Movie Collection by 101 Films, looked rather tempting, and had a lot of fun while re-watching it a while back. Some nice soundtrack pick-ups there. Especially ‘Hardware’. Likewise I Never knew it had a release. I think it’s the best thing about the film. also ‘Joy of Sex’ isn’t an easy one to come by. If I remember correctly it’s a Canadian sex comedy. always been curious of ‘All-American Murder’. I do have it saved on Tubi to watch.
