One of the movie magazines I subscribe to is Entertainment Weekly. Amazon is offering an incredible deal on a one year subscription to the weekly movie magazine, for only $10. Yeah, that’s right — $10 for 52 issues, one full year. The only catch is that it is an “auto-renewal” subscription, which means that after a year they will automatically charge you the current price for another year, unless you cancel it. But honestly, it’s very easy to go into the “Your Account” section and cancel that.
Amazon also has a good deal on the Blu-ray of Dumb & Dumber, only $9.99.

I’m not sure why anyone needs an all-in-one Blu-ray Disc/VHS Tape player, but the retro-tech part of me thinks it is cool (…but I’m also the type of person who still owns the Back to the Future trilogy box set on VHS…). I remember a year or so ago when it was impossible to find a Blu-ray player for under $200, now the deals are all over the place. Amazon’s Gold Box Deal of the Day is the Panasonic DMP-BD70V Blu-ray Disc/VHS Multimedia Player for only $139.99, 65% off the $400 suggested retail place. The deal is only good until Midnight tonight (Monday), so get it while you still can.
Francis Ford Coppola Winery is offering a 25% off coupon code for a couple of the Skywalker Ranch Wines: 2006 Merlot and 2006 Chardonay. The coupon Code is “THEFORCE” and is valid until February 15th 2010. For those unfamiliar with the origins of this wine, Viandante del Cielo is made by the winemaking team at Rubicon Estate for filmmaker and friend George Lucas from fruit (ie grapes) grown at Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch in Marin County. More information after the jump.
Inland from the northern Pacific coastline and nestled between a small range of hills lies Lucas Valley and the vineyards of Skywalker Ranch. It is an area renowned for having exceptionally long, cool growing conditions, which contribute to mature fruit, profuse aromas, and complex flavors - perfect conditions for this style of Chardonnay.
The Marin County AVA is very special, made up of only 86 acres of vineyards. It is bordered on three sides by the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. In this colder climate, Pinot Noir makes up the bulk of the planting, so a Marin Merlot is a rare treat.
Skywalker Ranch is located on Lucas Valley Road in Marin County. According to wikipedia, the $100 million ranch contains “a barn with animals, vineyards, a garden with fruits and vegetables used in the on-site restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool and fitness center with racquetball courts, the man-made “Lake Ewok”, a hilltop observatory, a 300-seat theater called “The Stag” as well as multiple theater screening rooms, and parking that is mostly concealed underground to preserve the natural landscape. Skywalker Sound was moved onto the ranch in 1987, now occupying the Technical Building. The Main House has a company research library under a stained-glass dome. Skywalker Ranch has its own fire station, which is part of the Marin County Mutual Aid system, and is often called on to assist firefighters in nearby Marinwood.”

Amazon’s week of HBO Television series Gold Box Deals continues with Oz: The Complete Seasons 1-6 for only $86.99, 64% off the nearly $240 retail price. As with all of the Gold Box Deals, the price will vanish Friday Night at Midnight. So get it while you still can.
Too bad Russ has already filled the week’s /Film: The Movie quota, because this post is writhing on the floor for our fave bad joke. Director Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Kinsey) is developing and writing a proposed half-hour series for HBO set in the hectic and catty world of Hollywood movie blogging. If the network takes the next step forward, THR reports that Condon would direct the pilot episode, in addition to being the series’ executive-producer.
Oddly titled, Tilda, with no relation to the ivory actress, the lead character is said to be a female, take-no-prisoners veteran writer/blogger, which automatically conjures Deadline’s L.A.-based Nikki Finke, followed by the less polarizing and /Filmcast-friended Anne Thompson. I checked and was disappointed to find that Finke has not yet commented on the series using a characteristic “TOLDJA!” and complimentary clip art of a monitor and a steaming cup of joe.
Sharing writing and producing duties on Tilda is Cynthia Mort, who worked on Will & Grace and created the sexually provocative, short-lived HBO series (and Adam Scott-starrer) Tell Me You Love Me. Regarding Tilda, it could offer a field day for insidery jokes and awkward sweatshirt-clad cameos from West Coast peers. Further blending the worlds of film and high-concept teevee, Condon recently helmed the pilot for Showtime’s cancer-topical comedy series The C Word.
Amazon continues their week of HBO Television Series DVD deals with another great Gold Box Deal of the Day: Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Seasons 1-6 for only $89.99, 62% off the nearly $240 suggested retail price. The price will only be good until midnight, so get it while you still can.

In an age of plunder and greed, the richest gold strike in American history draws a mob of restless misfits to an outlaw settlement where everything - and everyone - has a price. The settlers, ranging from an ex-lawman to a scheming saloon owner to the legendary Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, share a constant restlessness of spirit, and survive by any means necessary. Welcome to Deadwood…a hell of a place to make your fortune.
As with all the gold box deals, the price will vanish at midnight — so grab this 19-disc set while you still can.
