Welcome to an all new Newsletter from your fine friends at Moviecycle, located in Beautiful downtown Ballard!  We have a lot to cover, so let’s start off with

NEW TRADE-INS

It’s a well known fact that here at moviecycle   we take in a mind-boggling amount of amazing titles on a daily, and sometimes hourly basis!   Why, I think I can safely say without fear of hyperbole that  we have the single greatest collection of dvds anywhere on planet earth, including the internet!  On our WALL OF COOL right now we have a ton of great titles….

Mr. Show: Seasons 1 &2

Aqua Teen Hunger Force #4

Gone With The WInd

Streetcar Named Desire

The Great Escape

Five Easy Pieces

Heavy Metal

Snatch

Monty Python’s Life Of Brian

Do The Right Thing

The list could literally go on for ever and ever with me typing and you reading amazing movie titles one after the other for so long, that when I was finally done, you would look around to find the world had passed you by, your friends and family long dead, with your wife’s skeleton at your feet holding a single rose. WE’VE GOT SO MUCH GOOD STUFF!!

GREEN DOTS GALORE!!

Our greet dot sale at last years seafood fest was such a roaring success that we’ve adapted it all year round here at MC  (that’s what people in the know call our little slice of heaven!)  Any movie with a green dot on it is yours for the low, low price of $3.99!  We have table upon table of great stuff for all you film buffs out there! See if any of these titles ring a bell; Any Given Sunday, Max Payne, Two Weeks Later, Stuck On You, Scary Movie, The Fantastic Four, Austin Power; the Spy Who Shagged Me, Basic, Taxi, Fun With Dick & Jane, Day Zero, Superstar… the list goes on. And who doesn’t have a mere four dollars to drop on a quality flick. Except for people with horrible drug and alcohol problems that drink and use to forget who soul crushing their lives are…but i think that goes without saying.

FAN FICTION!

A poem was recently sent to us from moviecycle customer Nick DeCapertini;

Ode To The Cycle

There is a place right down the block

Where movie fans all love to flock

Their prices fair, to buy a flick

Their shelves are full, their service quick

Moviecycle is the place to be

If  it’s movies that you want to see.

We had to edited out 3 stanzas out of this poem that dealt with a show in Tijuana went to last summer, but I think you see what he was going for. That you Nick, and thanks to all our fans!  Keep the letters coming in!

GEOFF REED’S PICK OF THE WEEK!

The Most Amazing Comedy Film Every Made In The History Of Cinema. Did I Say "Comedy Film"? I meant Film Period. Yeahhh...that's the ticket!

That’s right everyone!

it’s time for another amazingly awesome REEDCO movie pick. This one is sure to tickle the funny bone of an comedy fan out there!  I’m talking about the comedy that changed the way the world laughed, changed the way the world cried, and yes, even changed the way we lived. The movie? Of course I’m talking about the amazingly funny laugh-riot Wieners!  I won’t go into to many details about the plot, since most of planet earth has seen this one a dozen times or more, but it stars the amazingly sexy Kenan Thompson (Goodburger), comedy queen Jenny McCarthy, (too many good movies to list), and the silver screens bad boy Darrel Hammond.  It is the story of three friends, who, for various reasons travel across the country in an Oscar-Meyer weinermobile.  They meet various  wacky people, fight with each other, try and get “dates wit’ hotties” and other nutty things.  Trust me when I say, this movie with blow you away! And guess what!! We Have It Here At Moviecycle!!!   Well….that just about wraps up this week’s Pick Of The Week!

ASK Dr. Flicks!

Dr. Flicks is a film-buff, and not an actual doctor.  His addiction to pain killers, and a freak mishap with a young girl and a toaster oven ended his dreams of being a male nurse in the early 1970s.  This column is a forum for movie triva only.

Dr. Flicks,

On of my favorite movies is “North By Northwest”  I love the famous scene with the airplane flying in over them!  How many takes did it take to get such a legendary moment on flim

Kip Hanson

Dear Kip,

Don’t Know…..Don’t Care.

Send your questions for Dr. Flicks into moviecycle today! Who knows!  You might see you’re name in bright lights someday! But I seriously doubt it!

Anyways….that wraps up another Moviecycle  newsletter!  Come on down to our store! We are at 2240 market street, open everyday from 10 to 9!!

Thank You,

Geoffrey Reed

The Twilight Saga : Eclipse, the third installment of the movie franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s books about a chick here in Washington who falls for a vampire. All your favorite tween girls would love this (as well as some guys and many, many mothers…)

Come get your BRAND NEW copy today! $22.99!

Some of our freshest $9.99 movies include Diary of  a Wimpy Kid, which is not a diary, but, in fact, a movie, about, a, wimpy, kid. A live-action adaptation of the novel written by Jeff Kinney, the film features Greg, a middle-schooler who hates middle school. Smart kid.

We’ve also got a new thriller by Roman Polanski, The Ghost Writer, starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan. McGregor plays said ghost writer (who doesn’t solve mysteries by manipulating letters, mind you), hired to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister played by Bond, after the previous ghost writer’s body was found dead. Note to self: don’t take a job where you predecessor was probably murdered.

Looking to get a dose of the two sexiest Hollywood leading men in one movie? We’ve got Repo Men, starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker as repossession men for owners of artificial organs who haven’t payed off their bill. That’s right, they yank stuff back out. Some people love this movie, others are skeptical… Must be because of the yanking out of people’s organs.

We’ve also got Clash of the Titans.

For you Bourne fans who worry there isn’t enough Matt Damon to go around, he’s gained a few extra lbs for his role in The Informant! I’m not trying to glorify Matt Damon’s ability to reverse-Christian Bale; the title simply has an exclamation mark on it. I haven’t seen the film, but it did open up second in the box-office behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, so it must be good.

Entire shelf of Disney titles:  Mulan, The Lion King, Enchanted, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Finding Nemo, and lots more!

Other fun titles from my childhood : Black Beauty, The Last Unicorn, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Harry and the Hendersons, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Goonies, War Games and Time Bandits.

Creepy stuff: Poltergeist, Jaws, 30 Days of Night, Creepshow, The Devil’s Rejects, Lord of the Flies and Twilight (it creeps me out how popular that series is).

TV!! Project Runway Season 7, Alfred Hitchcock Presents Season 1, HBO presents Dane Cook’s Vicious Circle and the first season of Ally McBeal (brand new copy!!).

Other cool stuff: Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me, Whip It, The Last Holiday,Dog Day Afternoon,  Chasing Amy, Passenger 57 and so much more!!

There is also a shelf I like to call, “Bad Ass Chicks with Guns”, featuring talent like Pamela Anderson, Pam Grier, Angelina Jolie and some other chicks that will shoot ya before you can blink. Not necessarily Oscar material…..but fun!

Brave the muggy weather and come on down to Market Street before all the cool stuff gets sold!

(Don’t worry…we have other cool stuff too!)
