Hey everyone well i guess i will start on the whole trip to the mall last weekend and the purchases i have made while i was there mostly the purchase were made at FYE titles including the Indiana Jones complete box set in the set you all three feature lenght films Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade and all presented in 5.1Sourround Sound and boy what a different experience watching them again on the 60" HD out here compared to the old VHS tapes my parents got of the films when they were selling them in MacDonalds of all places were they would have been..lol a long time ago and besides the Temple of Doom tape got caught in the VCR on day and i had to take it out gently and repair the tape, because the VCR also tore the film strip right in half so one part of the movie is messed pretty bad, but no worries now now having them on DVD. So I had to pick them up with these movies beingmade by Steven Spielberg and produced by George Lucas. My favorite out of the three films would have to be The Last Crusade when Doctor Jones goes on the hunt for the Holy Grail plus Sean Connery being Indiana's father thought his acting was really good in this one. Not saying that all three films are really good my second choice with be The Lost Ark and TheTemple of Doomcoming in third.

Plot Desprepsions of each of the three films located in the collection:

Raiders of the Lost Ark (Released in 1981): Renowned archaeologist and expert in the occult, Dr. Indiana Jones, is hired by the U.S. Government to find the Ark of the Covenant, which is believed to still hold the ten commandments. Unfortunately, agents of Hitler are also after the Ark. Indy, and his ex-flame Marion, escape from various close scrapes in a quest that takes them from Nepal to Cairo.

Temple of Doom (Released in 1981):After arriving in India, Indiana Jones is asked by a desperate village to find a mystical stone. He agrees and stumbles upon a secret cult plotting a terrible plan in the catacombs of an ancient palace.

The Last Crusade (Released in 1989): When Dr. Henry Jones Sr. suddenly goes missing while pursuing the Holy Grail, eminent archaeologist Indiana Jones must follow in his Father's footsteps and stop the Nazis.

Along with the three films in the set you also get a Bonus DVD which in the disc includes:

Feature-length documentary: "Indiana Jones: Making the Trilogy"
"The Stunts of Indiana Jones"
"The Sound of Indiana Jones"
"The Music of Indiana Jones"
"The Light and Magic of Indiana Jones"

oh and one more thing beforeI forget there is one unforgetable scene that probably everyone remembers from seeing the Indiana Jones movies and that is this scene from the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark when Jones confronts one of the men sent to getthe medallion that shows the way to the Well of Souls thus showing where theArk islocation at...so that being said when Jones does not have time and he settles this match with eas and the way he can heres the clip Indiana Jones Sword Fight

Moving right along down the list on the to next purchase I made and that was The Mummy Complete Collector's Set this was a decent purchase i thought it was not as big as the Indiana Jones set, but it was cool the Set came with all three films of The Mummy those being The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and The Scorpion King and have to say all three i like equally they were pretty good movies

Plot Desprictions of the three movies location inthe set:

The Mummy: Deep in the Egyptian desert, a handful of people searching for a long-lost treasure have just unearthed a 3,000 year old legacy of terror. Combining the thrills of a rousing adventure with the suspense of Universal's legendary 1932 horror "The Mummy."

The Mummy Returns: An ancient legacy of terror is unleashed when the accursed mummy, Imhotep, is resurrected - along with a force even more powerful: The Scorpion King. Now, as the fate of all mankind hangs in the balance, Rick O'Connell and his wife Evie embark on a daring, desperate race to save their son and the world from unspeakable evil.

The Scorpion King: A desert warrior rises up against the evil army that is destroying his homeland. He captures the enemy's key sorcerer, takes her deep into the desert and prepares for a final showdown.

All an all this is a nice collection to pick up if you liked the movies and would like to get them all in a nice boxseton DVDandfor adecent price.

And the last item I purchased from my list and now going to be getting to the good one...yep you guess it Anime! ^_^ my latest purchase that would be going in to my Anime collection is this series called "Black Lagoon" and if you are a fan of Modern Day Pirates or you just like awesome action scenes and heart pounding moments i do recommend checking this series out. The first Vol. 1 has been released in a single disc also in a Limited Edition version which includes Vol. 1 of the series with the first 4 episodes on it and plus+ it comes with a tin case DVD holder with the title written on the front and in the inside it holds all three disc of the series and plus a Bonus DVD which is already in the tin case when purchased.

Plot Descreption: Okajima Rokuro is a Japanese businessman...in a town full of Japanese businessmen. His normal day consists of social drinking with clients and being kicked around by his bosses. He finally gets a break though, as he's sent by his company to the tropical seas of Eastern China to deliver a disc...only his boat gets hijacked by a band of mercenaries that were hired to steal it. "Rock" (as he is newly dubbed by his captors) catches the interest of the only female merc "Revy" as she thinks he's worth a ransom, taking him hostage. However, the disc turns out to be more trouble than its worth, and complicates things both for Rock, and the mercenaries known as Black Lagoon.

After seeing these episodes I'm adding a new favorite character to my list and that is Revey aka "Two Hands" and I'm guessing where she got that name fromwhat i seen of the serieswas when it comes to gun battles and she takes out those two handguns she is not messing around and that you better get out of the way, because she is deadly and the scary thing is when is taking down the enemy she has a evil grin on her face but it looks pretty cool and thought it does fit the character I plan on finishing this series just as soon as Vol 2 comes out which is not until July 12th...yeah just takes awhile for the DVDs to come out when it comes to Anime -_-, but i can not complain, because i know that it is coming out and i will be buying it once it does still it is all a matter of waiting..*sigh*..waiting..lol.

Well i think that is going to about do it for this blog i hope you liked it. Later Game-spotters.

oh and for future purcheses since we are on the topic about Anime I will mention on what Anime series is coming out next month and thatI plan on getting the first is this series called BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad i watched the subtitled version of this series and it is really good if you like some catchy music and an Anime about band and their ups and downs on becoming famous and making themselves knowI do recommend checking this one out. The Limited Edition Vol 1 AMP box and which isthe one I'm buying inside the box you get Vol 1 plus+ BECK stickers with different writings of the title of the series. Itis hitting stores July 10th. As for last I plan on getting the third Limtied Edition tin case set of Hellsing Ultimate OVA 3, but there is no date for that one yet since the 2nd one just came out not to long ago, but just wanted to mention thatI will be getting that one as well when it hits the shelves

Here is what the BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad Vol 1 DVD w / Artbox is going to look like I like the AMP likeness of the box they designed. and as for the stickers that will be coming with the Artbox here is what they look like.

Thought they looked pretty cool and a nice touch for a something extra in the Artbox.
