DVDs, part 3

I’m an avid reader. A book a week. More if I’m sober. But then what to do with them once read? I used to save them, hoping I could give them to a good friend. But then I got practical (realized I had no friends, you'll say). If I just give them away, how am I going to pay my Amazon bill? So I thought I’d sell them. Or swap them. If you’d like to get ahold of any of these books, Write me at v.vikerkaar@gmail.com and we'll arrange the drop. We’ll meet at the Rahvusraamatukogu. You’ll wear a flower in your hair. I’ll carry yesterday’s newspaper under my left arm. DVD selection back by popular demand:

Bedazzled
I've never figured out Brendan Fraser. He's capable of making decent movies, but then he goes and makes those awful Mummy flicks. Estonian subtitles. 50 EEK.

Jurassic Park The Lost World
Finnish subtitles. No Estonian. 50 EEK.

Jurassic Park III
Estonian subtitles. 50 EEK.
Star Wars II Attack of the Clones
Two-disk set with exclusive deleted scenes. No subtitles. 100 EEK.

DVDs, part 2

XMen The Last Stand
A cast of great actors (Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart) can't save this bomb. I walked out of the show, which is to say I turned it off halfway through. But you'll have better luck. Especially if you've got kids. 50 EEK. Has Estonian subtitles.

Jurassic Park
With some behind-the-scenes extra features. 50 EEK. No Estonian subtitles.

Shaun of the Dead
"A romantic comedy with zombies," reads the jacket, and I won't say more except it's actually pretty funny. A charming send-up of zombie flicks, including, of course, Dawn of the Dead. English humor. Subtitles in English, Arabic, and Croatian. 75 EEK.

Raising Arizona
Classic starring Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, and John Goodman. No Estonian subtitles, but you can brush up on your Hebrew. 75 EEK.

The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer
Stephen King's prequel to his own Rose Red. A promiscuous early 20th-century industrialist and an enormous Seattle mansion. No Estonian subtitles. 75 EEK.
