Anyone interested in renting/buying any of these?

Aside from Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, I haven't seen any of this week's releases. I'm interested in seeing Amen, He Loves Me He Loves Me Not, Maryam, the Once Upon a Time In China trilogy, Paper Moon, Targets, and This Is Not a Love Song. Any thoughts of any of these? Any movies among those released this week any of you would specifically recommend?

Regarding the one I have seen: The villains in House of 1000 Corpses are a hoot (especially Sid Haig and Sheri Moon), but the film isn't much more than a psychedelic music-video cartoon version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Seriously lacking in the scares department, it's campy and kinda fun, but I could never defend it as good filmmaking. I see no need to revisit it on DVD.

Dude, you have two Santo movies to choose from and you're even asking that question?

Pete - And I actually kinda think "ffolkes" was underrated

Santo es un borracho.

[Brad Slager]

How can you pass up the landmark release of the week, the Rick Springfield opus, "Hard to Hold"?

[Pete Vonder Haar]

Even as "el borracho," I'd take El Santo in a steel cage deathmatch against the likes of Eric Campos.

And yes, I realize he's dead.

And like clockwork, my 14-year old sister has made it known that she wants the "Lizzie McGuire Movie" DVD. God must really be mad at me this week.

[Leev66]

Never mind this crap. Where the hell is the two disc set for "Cool as Ice"?

[Pete Vonder Haar]

"Drop the zero and get with the hero!"

I think we need to start one of those oh-so-effective internet petitions.

Boogeyman 2 [DC] (Image, 1983)

If you just want to see one of the new releases go for this. You won´t believe your eyes. The original BoogeyMan was a little known slasher-flick in typical eighties fashion - but this sequels tops everything.

I seldom saw such a dumb movie, never watched performances so uninspired, and i probably will never see any movie wich is is soo bad. The highlights are the kills - especially one with an electric toothbrush and the only scenes coming close to something which you can call a movie at all are completly taken from the first movie and are presented either as memories or nightmares.

If you ever wanted to see a flick in wich nothing at all has any worth try this, but wait until you find it budgetet at about 3 $. :)

Ohh btw. the score is great, but it´s also the same as in Part 1...
