Topic: Another DVD Care Package?

[goodguy]

Fay Grim FAY GRIM (Parker Posey) is afraid her son Ned (Liam Aiken) will turn out like his father, Henry, who has been a fugitive for seven years. Fay’s brother, Simon, is serving a prison sentence for helping Henry escape the country. Adding to her trials, Fay is approached by a CIA agent (Jeff Goldblum) to help find Henry’s missing notebooks in exchange for Simon’s freedom. The mission escalates into a global con-game that plunges Fay deep into the deadly politics of espionage.

Hey, someone got a Hal Hartley film.  This is actually a sequel to Henry Fool, but it works well enough on its own.

I'll look forward to checking it out.

Well... for the remaining titles in the boxes she gave an additional clue. Maybe someone here can help me more with the new clues...

"one is a monster movie from 2007 (or at least that's what I'd call it)"
- was made in Korea

" one is an anime based on a video game"
- completely CGI

"one involves a plot to kill someone to make $$ on their posterity"
- the title refers to a completely separate film directed by Sam Peckinpah

"one is set during the Mexican-American War"
- it involves Irishmen

"one is based on a novel by Ethan Hawke"
- he's also in it

"one is a lesson to never touch dirty money"
- the title is also a common name for a member of the Amaranthus family

"one is a rom-com made from a play and stars the original cast"
- if you added two words onto the title, you'd get the title of a book by H. G. Wells

"there is another low-budget horror as well, but it's from 2008 and is based on a comic book series"
- part of the title is a location that would describe what I live in

"disaster film, 1 that I think actually made it to theatres*.  That one involves a bomb as the solution to the disaster."
- one word title is included in the title of the first medley to hold the #1 position on Billboard Hot 100.

"one of the 2-movie releases is likely musical in parts and involves a talented palomino"
- that remaining 2-movie release includes a movie with the name of one of the stars in the title

and, finally

"TV episode release is from a show on TLC, and you wouldn't want those people in your house"
- part of the title for the 2-episode TV release was the catch phrase of the men on film duo on "In Living Color"

Just wanted to say that Bite The Bullet is a great little film. Like a more serious Cannonball Run on horseback.

As to the clues, definitely The Host and the Final Fantasy movie, whose exact title escapes me at the moment.

[addicted2dvd]

Thanks Jon... Which clue is The Host for? And are you talking about Final Fantasy: The Spirit With? or is there another one? I wondering because I already have that one... though I am not sure if she checked my online listing first.

[Najemikon]

That's the one! Spirits Within. And The Host is the Korean monster movie in the first clue.

[addicted2dvd]

Thanks... will send in both guesses and see.

[addicted2dvd]

This is the one that is bugging me right now... but the extra clue is not one that would help me at all.

"disaster film, 1 that I think actually made it to theatres*.  That one involves a bomb as the solution to the disaster."
- one word title is included in the title of the first medley to hold the #1 position on Billboard Hot 100.

... And are you talking about Final Fantasy: The Spirit With? or is there another one? ...

Yes there is another one - Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

[addicted2dvd]

These guesses were WRONG!
The Host
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Resident Evil: Degeneration (guessed @ Invelos)

[addicted2dvd]

... And are you talking about Final Fantasy: The Spirit With? or is there another one? ...

Yes there is another one - Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Thanks... will send in that as a guess.

Clue:

" one is an anime based on a video game"
- completely CGI

Answer:

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Continuing the storyline based on the hit PlayStation game 'FINAL FANTASY VII', two years have passed and the ruins of Midgar stand as a testament to the sacrifices made in order to bring peace. However, the world will soon face a new menace. A mysterious illness is spreading fast. Old enemies are astir. And Cloud, who walked away from the life of a hero to live in solitude, must step forward yet again...

Clue:

"one is based on a novel by Ethan Hawke"
- he's also in it

Answer:

The Hottest State Young love has rarely been as exhilarating--and as painful--as it is in Ethan Hawke’s THE HOTTEST STATE. The Oscar-nominated actor adapts his own novel for the screen in this romance set in New York City. When 20-year-old William (Mark Webber, BROKEN FLOWERS) meets Sara (Catalina Sandino Moreno) at a bar in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, he falls fast and hard. He’s an actor while she’s struggling to be a singer, and their creative, nervous personalities make them a combustible couple. From their playful acting-out of their future break-up to the pain of the event when it actually occurs, their relationship is a series of highs and lows familiar to anyone who’s felt the emotions of 20-something romance.

"one of the 2-movie releases is likely musical in parts and involves a talented palomino"
- that remaining 2-movie release includes a movie with the name of one of the stars in the title

Oddly this one is not in the database... and I can not find any info on it online... short of a short mention on Amazon HERE.

Answer:

Bring Me The Head Of Mavis Davis She is beautiful, sexy and blessed with the voice of an angel - she is Marla Dorland, a legend in her own time. But when her agent Marty Starr finds his agency in trouble he concocts a sinister plot to bring up record sales. Amazed at the posthumous record sales of Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Kurt Cobain, Starr becomes determined to arrange a similar fate for Marla, staging the perfect tragic demise.

- part of the title is a location that would describe what I live in
- has a cover that is mostly green, and given the cover I think it's a zombie flick

Answer:

Trailer Park of Terror Six troubled high school students and their chaperone are returning from a retreat when their bus crashes, stranding them in the middle of trailer park hell – literally. Without warning, hillbilly zombies looking for fun begin slaughtering the teens in gruesome fashion. With a rockin' Southern-fried soundtrack, top-notch special effects and a devilish sense of humor, Trailer Park of Terror (based on the Imperium comic book series) is nasty fun for the hardcore horror fan.
