Topic: Another DVD Care Package?

[addicted2dvd]

Found out a few more titles coming in that big box my friend is sending me...

	Deadliest Catch: The Complete First Season Forty-foot waves, freezing temperatures, swinging 700-pound crab pots, a nearly 100 percent injury rate … but also the chance to earn enough money for a family to live on for a year, for just a few days’ work. Welcome to one of the worlds deadliest jobs: the Alaskan crab fisherman. Deep in the frigid waters of the Bering Sea lurks the highly lucrative, yet often elusive, king and snow crabs. Each year, approximately 250 boats converge on Dutch Harbor, Alaska, awaiting the start of the official harvesting seasons announced by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Crewmembers regularly pull 20-hour shifts in freezing weather, exposed to the harsh elements on a slick deck, often pitching to and fro. The harried, exhausted men have on purpose: catch as much crab as possible before the authorities announce the end of the season. Why do men risk life and limb every season? Money. In the season prior, the king crab harvest alone was worth $65 million at the dock. But the potential to make such good money – fast – brings with it an all-too-often tragic consequence.
	Deadliest Catch: The Complete Second Season
	United 93 It's an event that shook the world. Honest, unflinching and profoundly moving, "United 93" tells the unforgettable story of the heroic passengers and crew members who prevented the terrorists from carrying out their plans for the fourth hijacked plane on September 11, 2001. As on-ground military and civilian teams scrambled to make sense of the unfolding events, forty people who sat down as strangers found the courage to stand up as one.
	The West Wing: The Complete Second Season As Season Two's 22 episodes unfold across this 4-disc set, the President and his staff have been targeted for disruption by rival politicians, soon after being targeted by would-be assassins. Yet the determined colleagues continue to serve the U.S. and its President as the administration heads through midterm elections and into a crisis that leads to allegations of criminal conduct. Presented with must-see bonus materials, 'The West Wing's second season won the Best Drama Series Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.

I just found out that the following two will be in that big package I have coming...

Righteous Kill After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives "Turk", played by Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) and "Rooster", played by Academy Award® winner Al Pacino (Scent of a Woman) should be ready for retirement. But, before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before. This adrenaline fueled psychological thriller features hip-hop superstar Curtis Jackson (Get Rich or Die Tryin'), Carla Gugino (Sin City), John Leguizamo (Moulin Rouge!), Donnie Wahlberg (Saw II and III) and Brian Dennehy (Death of a Salesman) and was directed by Jon Avnet (Red Corner) and written by Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man).

Scarface In the spring of 1980, the port at Mariel Harbor was opened, and thousands set sail for the United States.  They came in search of the American Dream.  One of them found it on the sun-washed avenues of Miami...wealth, power and passion beyond his wildest dreams.  He was Tony Montana.  The world will remember him by another name...SCARFACE.

I am a bit ashamed to admit this... but I have never seen Scarface.  Though I have heard it is an excellent movie. Never even heard of Righteous Kill before today. But how bad could it be with both Robert De Nero and Al Pacino in it?

I also found out that she is trying to finish up the package today to hopefully get it in the mail tomorrow.

Not to mention... these are just the titles I know about. I do believe there is other titles I don't know about as well.

[Kathy]

Oh my...the unwatched pile grows.

A Bit!

I got this message from my friend last night...

Oh dear - I was putting the last of my DVDs away and found several movies I was going to send you...including some for your Oct. marathon.

Since she just sent me that huge package... I have no idea when she may send me these. But I do hope in time to get the horror for my October marathon. We did play a game of hangman for one of the titles last night... I will be getting...

A Tale of Two Sisters Something strange is happening when Su-mi and her younger sister, Su-yeon, come home to their father's large but dark and somewhat foreboding house after a stay in the hospital. Their dad is taciturn and burdened, and their stepmother, Eun-joo, greets them with forced enthusiasm and more than a little sense of irritation. But that's nothing compared to what happens when bedtime rolls around. Stylish and shocking, this visually arresting tale of family secrets and uncertain realities is based on a traditional Korean folktale. Guaranteed to have you gasping for breath with each successive scare. You'll be kept guessing until the very end of this unique and brilliant film.

It is a Korean horror movie. Anyone here familiar with this one?

[Jimmy]

I think I know already one of the movies she will send to you

Oh? PM me the title... she may want to play Hangman again later! 

[Jimmy]

I can't spoil your fun
Of course I ain't 100% sure, but it was one she wanted to send me in a package that I already have (or pre-ordered) so I mention that you could be interested by this film...

[addicted2dvd]

  That is ok... didn't really expect you to give me the title. But I did PM her... telling her I think we need to play another game of Hangman!

Oh yes. It's an incredible film and a powerful story. More a psychological drama than a blood letting gore-fest, it chills rather then scares, but with a slow burn you won't forget easily. Don't read too much about it though as it may become difficult to avoid spoilers.

[addicted2dvd]

Thanks for the heads up... Will be sure to stay away from everything till I see it.

I just played a game of Hangman with my friend... found out I am getting...

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant Welcome to the Cirque du Freak, a traveling sideshow filled with magical creatures, misunderstood freaks, and the mysterious vampire, Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly). Drawn to the dark, unpredictable world of the Cirque, 16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) decides to trade in his ordinary life for a chance to become an immortal vampire. As Darren explores his newfound powers and faces unexpected enemies, he'll find that his existence as a memeber of the undead is filled with more challenges, suspense and fun than he ever thought possible. Based on the best-selling book series and co-starring Salma Hayek, Josh Hutcherson, Ken Watanabe, and Willem Dafoe, it's a fast-paced, suspenseful journey critics call, "Imaginative!" (Peter Hall, Cinematical.com)

I been wanting to see this movie for quite a while now.

[Achim]

Can anyone here tell me? How is the Criterion release of Armageddon? I have the original release... so this one is an upgrade.

The film doesn't get any better, even when released by Criteion

[addicted2dvd]

That is ok... I liked the film a lot!
