[addicted2dvd]

Well... the very kind soul that is sending both Brittany and I some DVDs had some room left in the box(es). So these have been added to what she is sending....

	The Deep End Still waters run deadly in this gripping suspense thriller about the extraordinary depths to which seemingly ordinary people will sink in the name of love. Tilda Swinton "is magnificent" (The New York Times) as housewife Margaret Hall, a fiercely protective mother caught in a vortex of deception when it appears that her son may be guilty of murder. One desperate act leads to another, and soon she's being blackmailed by the mysterious Alek Spera (E.R.'s Goran Visnjic).

Immersed in the tradition of Hitchcock's best twists and turns, The Deep End "holds its suspense to the very last drop" (The Toronto Star).

	Double Jeopardy The chase is on! Ashley Judd shines in this unstoppable, untoppable box-office smash that co-stars Tommy Lee Jones in his "best performance since The Fugitive."* Judd plays Libby Parsons, who discovers that the husband she's convicted of murdering staged his own "death" and framed her for the crime. Released on parole, she skips town to find him - and that puts parole officer Travis Lehman (Jones) on her trail. Packed with more crowd-pleasing excitement than several movies put together, Double Jeopardy delivers "lots of action and spine-tingling suspense from start to finish."** * Mick LaSalle, The San Francisco Chronicle ** Bill Diehl, ABC Radio Network
	The Rookie From the studio that brought you Remember the Titans comes an inspirational film based on a true story. Jim Morris (Dennis Quaid), father, teacher, and high school coach, though his dream was over. He'd had his shot playing baseball, blew out his shoulder, and retired without ever making it to the big leagues. Then, in 1999, Coach Morris made a fateful bet with his perpetually losing team. If they won the district championship, Morris — who threw a 98 mph fastball — would try out for the majors. The team went from worst to first, and Jim, living up to his end of the bargain, threw caution to the wind and was on the road to becoming the oldest rookie in the major leagues. This heartfelt, uplifting story about not giving up on your dreams is a remarkable and affecting story that will have everyone cheering.

Uncle Teddy (John Malkovich) rolls into town to fix the situation and to teach Matty once and for all what being "in the family" is all about. The trap is set and when it's sprung, it's as action-packed as it is devastating.

How awesome is that!?!? I got to say once again... I can't get over the generousity I have seen here lately! Wow! And once again to everyone (here) that sent me DVDs lately I really appreciate it!

 

[addicted2dvd]

Wow! Nicole Kidman is young in that BMX Bandits movie... I always got a kick out of seeing big stars early in their career like this....

[Rogmeister]

Interestingly, I was thinking of getting Closer...I came across it yesterday when I was looking for more movies starring either Julia Roberts or Jodie Foster to get.  I had Cold Mountain once but gave it away as a prize in my annual Oscar contest before I had a chance to watch it.  I have seen The Rookie and I enjoy that.

[Dragonfire]

I almost got Closer tonight..the one store in the mall here has some DVDs for $1.97 and $2.97.  Closer was $1.97, so I almost got it.  I seem to remember reading some negative reviews though..so I didn't get it.

[Najemikon]

Closer is very much a play that happens to have been filmed. It's really just characters talking. In it's own way, it's very good and some of the dialogue is superb, but still... it's a play, not a film.

[addicted2dvd]

OK... I got myself another bit of a surprise a little bit ago. The very kind soul that is sending both Brittany and I movies PM'ed me again. And as it turns out... she couldn't quite fit all the titles in the 2 boxes she just mailed out today. So she said Knowing I couldn't watch horror she left those out for now... plus a couple other titles... then ... and I quote...

"I left these out until I get enough for one more box."

So I know to expect more titles to be announced within the upcoming days/weeks. I imagine before/around my horror marathon. 

[addicted2dvd]

Well... it didn't take days/weeks to find out the rest (last) of the DVDs my friend is sending me. I already got a PM with the list... she is now sending me...

Woohoo! There is lots of horror coming my way!  And lots of titles that I never seen before.

Surprisingly I never seen the Stephen King movie Delores Claibourne before! Reading the plot I can't be sure... is that considered a horror movie?

And wow! I can't believe Dexter: Season 2 is being given to me! 

[Rogmeister]

I guess we can call this The Mostly "D" Package!   

[addicted2dvd]

  Didn't even notice that! But that is cool! A lot of titles I really can't wait to check out. Though most of them have to wait till October! 

[Najemikon]

I am so looking forward to hearing what you think of Dogville! It isn't a horror, so spin it up as soon as possible.

What genre would I put it in? Gangster, maybe. Drama, perhaps. Pretentious Arty Crap? Yeah, that's the one. Pretentious Arty Crap. 

[addicted2dvd]

  I watched the trailer for it... and it looked like... well lets just say it looked like it could be a little hard to get through. But I been fooled by trailers like that before.

[Najemikon]

Hard to get through? Pete, even on fast forward it was painful!  They don't have sets, for crying out loud. Just chalk outlines on a black stage. 

[addicted2dvd]

  Oh well... that is ok... I will still give it a fair chance to impress me. I have been known to like movies that not many others did.

[Najemikon]

Those are bad movies though, Pete, that you find something good in. This film is intellectual and arty. Too bloody clever for its own good! If you manage to watch all of it and like it, I'll... I'll... do something. I don't know what. 

[addicted2dvd]

  I guess we will have to wait and see what happens!
