We expect limited collector’s edition DVDs to become expensive collectables over time. But what about paying nearly $100 for a Corey Feldman movie...?

The maturity of the DVD market has meant that, inevitably, over the years, plenty of releases have been deleted. Most of the time, that’s that. The disc disappears, nobody notices, we all move on.

Sometimes, that’s part of the plan. Numbered limited editions, scarce boxsets, time limited releases… it’s all part of the game in making a DVD release feel collectable, and thus more valuable. They taunt us with the prospect of us getting rich by selling the film on for a massive profit many years down the line.

However, there’s emerging an unlikely collection of rare and surprisingly valuable DVDs, films that you might never expect to double their retail value. See if you’ve got any of these on your shelf… »

Adam Hollingworth casts a satirical eye over Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Once Upon a Time in Anatolia...

Well, I’ve just been to see Once Upon a Time in Anatolia and I must say that I am deeply unimpressed by it. Not only has Sergio Leone made us wait an inordinate amount of time for the follow-up to his thirty year old gangster masterpiece Once Upon a Time in America (and no I don’t accept “being dead” as a reasonable excuse for this), but when he’s actually pulled one foot out of the grave to make a new film it turns out he’s taken a radical departure from the style and content of his earlier films, and become the proud creator of some arty rubbish.

Firstly, I was dismayed that absolutely no-one gets shot in this film. The best parts of Leone’s great epics are the »

Why was Lindsay Lohan on Saturday Night Live? She doesn’t have a new project to promote. Her last film released in theaters was 2010′s Machete, although IMDb claims she’s starring in a movie called InAPPropriate Comedy alongside Rob Schneider, Michelle Rodriguez, and Adam Brody, which is coincidentally also a malaria nightmare I had one time. Hosts that don’t come on SNL to shill for something typically fall into three specific types: the beloved SNL guest-star, like Timberlake, Hamm, or Baldwin; the headline-baiting non-performer, like Michael Phelps or Al Gore; and the youth demographic-baiting tween star, like Miley Cyrus. »

To Misters Matt Drake and Michael Bacall, I attended a screening of Project X this past week, a film for whose script you two are inescapably responsible, and wanted to congratulate you on crafting one of the single most vile, reprehensible, and culturally detrimental films in recent memory. And I’ve seen Good Burger, twice. Every critic worth his salt, or even his Splenda, knows that when you write a negative review, even one for a movie as heinous as your recent blight on multiplexes around the country, vitriol must be confined to the events unfolding on the screen. In other words, it’s been well-established that personal attacks against a filmmaker are the antithesis of proper criticism. Therefore, despite the fact that, given the events on the screen, your tenuous grasp on propriety and overall morality is reminiscent of that dastardly Manson family, I shall nevertheless do my very best to restrain myself and tear down »

Brace yourself for the following sentence…

From the director of Norbit and Meet Dave, and the writer of Jack & Jill comes the new comedy starring Eddie Murphy!

Still with us? Good work.

Here is the first official poster for that very film, A Thousand Words. Murphy reunites with director Brian Robbins, the man behind his star vehicles listed above. Here’s how it’s going to go down:

“Eddie Murphy is Jack McCall, a fast-talking literary agent, who can close any deal, any time, any way.  He has set his sights on New Age guru Dr. Sinja (Cliff Curtis) for his own selfish purposes. But Dr. Sinja is on to him, and Jack’s life comes unglued after a magical Bodhi tree mysteriously appears in his backyard. With every word Jack speaks, a leaf falls from the tree and he realizes that when the last leaf falls, both he and the tree are toast. »
