Hikaru Hayashi and Onibaba

Not to beat a dead horse but it looks to me like they average about $29.00.
And I bought my Kurosawa Criterion disks at the mall here in Adrian, MI (pop
20,000) plus the video stores here seem to stock many of them. Maybe I live
in a Criterion paradise....

I doubt that Criterion stuff gets in many local video stores - let alone the
average mall...

They are EXTREMELY expensive releases
