It’s time to clear off the shelves here at Play That Now headquarters (aka our home), as the DVDs are taking over, and there is little room for the new ones.

Are you the type of person that goes to the second hand DVD shops or the pawn shops to find deals on DVDs?  In that case, if you don’t mind getting a pre-viewed DVD in the mail at no cost to you, then you might try your hand at winning a few of them.

Up for  grabs today is The Kingdom (Widescreen).  This was only watched once.

Special Features:

• Deleted Scenes
• Character by Character: The Apartment Shootout
• Constructing the Freeway Sequence
• Creating The Kingdom
• History of The Kingdom: An Interactive Timeline
• Commentary with Director Peter Berg

This movie is rated R – Intense Sequences of Graphic Brutal Violence and Language.

Here is the movie synopsis off the case back:

Oscar winners Jamie Foxx and Chris Cooper and Golden Globe winners Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman ignite the screen in this high-intensity thriller about a team of elite FBI agents sent to Saudi Arabia to solve a brutal mass murder and find a killer before he strikes again.  Out of their element and uner heavy fire, the team must join forces with their Saudi counterparts.  As these unlikely allies begin to unlock the secrets of the crime scene, the team is led into a heart-stopping, do-or-die confrontation.

CONDITION OF DISC:

It was only watched once, and it was new when I received it. It is obviously therefore opened. 

The UPC symbol on the back of the case is scratched, so it could not be returned to the store, resulting in the plastic on the case in that area to be cut also.

There may be fingerprints on the disc.  I did my best to make sure there were not.

I am doing my best to describe it to you, and don’t guarantee the condition it will come in.  However, remember there’s no cost involved for you, so …if you want to

(Pre-viewed) The Boondock Saints Unrated Special Edition DVD Giveaway

It’s time to clear off the shelves here at Play That Now headquarters (aka our home), as the DVDs are taking over, and there is little room for the new ones.

Are you the type of person that goes to the second hand DVD shops or the pawn shops to find deals on DVDs?  In that case, if you don’t mind getting a pre-viewed DVD in the mail at no cost to you, then you might try your hand at winning a few of them.

Up for grabs today is the Unrated Special Edition of The Boondock Saints.  This was only watched once.

The discs were remastered digitally by THX for picture and 5.1 Dolby Digital EX Surround Sound.

*Special Features*

Disc One

• Feature Audio Commentary by Writer/Director Troy Duffy
• Feature Audio Commentary by Actor Billy Connolly

Disc Two

• Deleted Scenes
• Outtakes
• Original Theatrical Trailer
• Cast and Crew Filmographies
• Printable Script

While this version is Unrated, if you’re not familiar with this cult phenomenon it is definitely an R rated movie.

Here is the movie synopsis off the case back:

Hot on the trail of the assailants behind the bloody murder of Russian thugs, FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) is surprised to discover the killers are Irish twin brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) who believe they’ve been chosen to rid the world of evil.  But as they unleash more brutality on the criminals of Boston’s underworld, Smecker finds himself torn between busting the vigilantes…and joining them!

CONDITION OF DISC:

I got this as a win in a sweepstakes, and it is not a movie that we would typically watch, so it was only watched once, and it was new when I received it. It is obviously therefore opened.

 If I recall however there is one spot on the disc that the movie hangs at, but it came that way new, it’s been a while since we viewed it, and honestly I don’t care to watch it again to confirm that or where on the disc it may be if it does stop momentarily.

It comes in a metal case with the design seen above.  The paper that gives the movie details is still adhered to the back of the case and there is a spot on the paper from the adhesive used to stick it on the case.  There are a few small dents on the front top and bottom of the case.

There may be fingerprints on one of the discs.  I did my best to make sure there were not, but there is no art on either side of the one disc.

I am doing my best to describe it to you, and don’t guarantee the condition it will come in.  However, remember there’s no cost involved for you, so …if you want to
