 The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Includes Four Swords) $19.99 When I started This game on my (DS)(I love AC and how peacful it is but I desided to give Zelda a go) I thought it was a great game! It was fun. Though it had poor graphics. But alas when i got to the East palace I realized that every time you died you had to go back to the beginning of the palace!!! Even right before the boss. NO check point!!! *faints* This meant that I spent 3 hours doing the same thing over and over and over aaaaannnnddd ooovveerr.... I tried and failed again and again Yes it did get boring. Boring boring. I had never bin so pleased to get of a game before when I finally beat the boss. I dread What i will have to do i n the upper levels. If you do not find joy in repeating things over and over. Do not get this game. All I can hope it that Nintendo does not make the same mistake with Pantom Hourglass. But I am rethinking of getting that game anyway.  Link $24.97 "There's just a few rules that you have to remember: 1. You're the dominant species. You must never, ever treat them as equals. 2. Don't ever let anything escalate. Always forgive them, whatever they do. 3. Don't get involved in their squabbles. They sort them out. And 4. Erm, some turds in the hall. Can you clear them up?" Whenever anyone comes up with that kind of list in a movie you can start ticking off the order in which they'll be forgotten and place your bets on who dies first, and Richard Franklin's Link is no exception to the rule. It's not a particularly ambitious film - it can pretty much be summed as a girl stalked in a remote country house by an unbalanced killer, with the spin being that this time the killer is an ape - but it's a pleasingly well-crafted and executed one. Unusually for director Richard Franklin the influence here seems to be less Hitchcock than Argento, with plenty of bravura camerawork - complicated tracking shots, long lenses, multiple speeds and step-printed scenes that are far more effective than they have any right to be. Naturally the apes outshine the humans (Elisabeth Shue and a fairly brief but entertaining turn from Terence Stamp), with Locke the Orangutan giving a surprisingly layered turn as Link himself, the unstable former circus hack and "Master of Fire." Barely remembered today, it's one of those films that just got lost in the cracks: a key and very expensive part of Verity Lambert's catastrophic production slate (The Holcroft Covenant, Wild Geese II, Morons From Outer Space, Bloodbath at the House of Death, Slayground etc) that led to EMI films being sold lock, stock and barrel to Cannon, who promptly dumped it with a token release. The film rarely even turns up on TV these days. But any ape movie with a heroine called Jane (after Jane Goodall, not Tarzan's mate) that uses both The Kinks I'm An Apeman and Marlene Dietrich's entrance in a gorilla suit from Blonde Venus as well as offering an infectiously demented Jerry Goldsmith Baroque`n'Roll score mixing synths, symphony orchestra, calliope and a 7/8 drumbeat definitely deserves a second look. Not much in the way ofextras - trailer, TV spot and notes are your lot - but a decent widescreen transfer.  Pokemon Deluxe Battle Links Series #1 Full Master Case (styles may vary) $43.99 The toy was fine but, DO NOT ORDER THIS ITEM. Only one of the four Pokemon came and when I called customer service they sent out one more pokemon. Now I had only two of the four and was sent an email to return the first one. I had to call customer service three times and I only have two of the four Pokemon still. |
