Just found out I will be getting...

Deadline
| Year: 2009 | 89 Min.| IMDb | Trailer/Intro

Alice (Brittany Murphy), an artist recovering from a psychological breakdown, retreats to a remote Victorian house to convalesce and focus on finishing her screenplay in time for a fast approaching deadline. When she begins hearing strange sounds and seeing apparitions, Alice searches for the source, only to find disturbing videotapes in the attic. Fascinated by her discovery, Alice digs deeper to uncover the mysterious story of the couple (Thora Birch and Marc Blucas) on the tapes, sending her on a twisting and terrifying pursuit to find out what is behind the endless mind games.

Surprisingly I never even heard of this one. Anyone here seen it? Worth the watch?

Found out this evening I will be getting...

Harold and Maude
| Year: 1971 | 91 Min.| IMDb | Trailer/Intro

A classic cult film that features one of the screen's most unlikely pairs. It will defy everything you've ever seen or known about screen lovers. Bud Cort is Harold, a young man bored with wealth but interested in death. And Ruth Gordon is Maude, a wonderful old rascal who can see nothing but good intentions in the world. Hal Ashby (Coming Home, Being There) directed from Colin Higgins' (Foul Play) first script. An outrageously funny and affecting film that proves love has no boundaries. Cat Stevens provides an uplifting musical score.

This one is and has been on my top list.  Ruth Gordon was great in this.  First saw her in Rosemary's Baby and then the next year or so in "Harold and Maude".  I was hooked an looked for other things she was in.  A great talent and so glad she was brought to my attention.


Thank you
