Last night my wife and I hit a few Hollywood Video stores that are going out of business and we picked up some Xbox games for 80% off and some good movies on DVD that were 5 for $10. Not too bad!<\/p>\n

But what really got my attention were the movies I didn’t get. Even at $2 a piece I passed right by these gems.<\/p>\n

First up was TRANSMORPHERS : FALL OF MAN<\/p>\n

\"Transmorphers<\/a>

Transmorphers Front<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh yeah. Not a ripoff of Transformers at all. Seriously! Nothing like it! This artwork and title won’t confuse anybody!<\/p>\n

\"Transmorphers<\/a>

Transmorphers Back<\/p><\/div>\n

The blurb in the upper left piles it on, too. “This prequel to the 2007 blockbuster, is a sci-fi action extravaganza in the tradition of INDEPENDENCE DAY<\/strong> and WAR OF THE WORLDS<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Even more amazing was THE TERMINATORS movie cover.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

This kind of stuff is legal? Come on! By the same logic, I can get away with opening a Burger Kings<\/strong> if I wanted to, right? It’s not Burger King! It’s Burger Kings!<\/strong> With an s! I serve the flame-mesh Whapper! The flame-fresh Whopper? Never heard of it.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This next movie I’ve actually heard of, and for a brief second, I thought $2 was ok for this diamond in the very very very very rough. Then I realized I could get Moon<\/a>\"\" or The Killer<\/a>\"\" for the same $2 and I immediately came to my senses.<\/p>\n

\"Mega<\/a>

Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus<\/p><\/div>\n

Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus!! Just for the awesome… badness of it!<\/p>\n

Finally, this movie made me laugh just for it’s title.<\/p>\n

\"Ankle<\/a>

Ankle Biters<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s a movie about vampire kids? And the tag is “don’t look down”? Awesomeness.<\/p>\n

Seriously, though. These movies were green-lit, financed, produced, edited, released and made some money for somebody. So who am I to say anything? This is either an incredibly depressing fact or an awesomely inspiring fact depending on how you look at it.<\/p>\n

Me? I’m gonna’ write a script! I’ll call it DIE HARDS<\/strong>! Yes! <\/p>\n

Call me Hollywood.<\/p>\n

As an extra special bonus, I’ve added trailers for some of the movies I found below. <\/p>\n

Brace yourself.<\/p>\n
