You read that right, we have some crazy deals coming up this weekend – Saturday, Sunday and Monday! Over yonder at Cambie we have a big rack of $3 DVDs. Buy 2 and pay $5 but if you buy 10 (ten) you will only pay $10! Zoinks! Also all of our $5 titles can be snarfed up at a 2 for 1 holiday special deal (at both locations!)! And don’t even get me started on box sets! Come enjoy whatever made-up holiday that we’re celebrating this weekend at your favourite local Black Dog!

And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a new podcast episode ready and willing to bore into your ears and delight your funny brains. Check it out here!

New Releases!

Ash is the Purest White – Another excellent film from Zhangke Jia (A Touch of Sin) as this one follows two lovers who are involved in some mob stuff and whatnot over the course of 17 years. Get up on it!

MV5BYzBiMzY4ZjUtNzM2Zi00NDYwLWFhMWEtYjNmMDU2ZmU0OTgzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTQwMDA5NTg@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Daughter of Mine – Lovely Italian drama about a daughter torn between two moms – biological and the one who raised her. That’s a spicy meatball!

MV5BYzkyNDJhNDYtODkzMC00NjVmLWI1OWItOWI4ODQwMzZiMWYyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjM4NTM5NDY@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Level 16 – Cool-looking Canadian sci-fi effort (had a few of these as of late, what’s going on, Canada?!) about a tight boarding school where things are not as they seem. You figure it out!

MV5BMmE4Mzk0OWQtMDI1OS00NDU3LWI2M2YtNzc1MGMxZGI3ZTE1XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjMxOTE0ODA@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Long Shot – Seth Rogan is grubby schlub Fred Flarsky who becomes the speechwriter and, somehow, romantic fella for presidential hopeful Charlize Theron. Comedy hijinks, I presume, ensue.

MV5BMTgzMTY0MTU4OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwOTA4OTQxNTM@._V1_UY268_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Lu Over the Wall – Delightful (it’s full of delight!) Japanese animation number about a gloomy girl who befriends a mermaid.

MV5BNTE3YzQ3YjMtNjJlNy00M2U2LWFmZTItYzUzOGJiMmMyNTlhXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMzQwMTY2Nzk@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

The Public – Emilio Estavez directs most of Hollywood in this drama about homeless folks taking over the public library on a cold night in Cincinnati.

MV5BMjE2MzAyODM2NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDMzMDcyNzM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Styx – VIFF fave about a woman sailor who encounters a bunch of shipwrecked refugees on the high seas. Hear that this is pretty great.

Yes it’s hot. Stay frosty. Enough said. But check out these cool tentative, plans for a new people space over in the Cambie Hood. What a fantastic idea! Anything that gets more folks out of their cars and on foot is a good thing in my opinion. Makes the neighborhood that much more livable.

If any of you lovely folks (or any friends, neighbors, enemies) have a working DVD or Blu Ray player that you want to get rid of, drop it off at Black Dog Video! We’ll make good use of it. (We also take dvd donations!)

Alita: Battle Angel – James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez team up for this special animated tale about a cyborg who goes on a revenge-laden killing spree. Um, that might be a different movie. Um….it’s, um animated. I think.

MV5BMDVjZGE2ZTEtYzI3Zi00MzY1LTg5ZGItNWRmZDY4MzM2OTM0XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDExMzMxNjE@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_
