After whining about not seeing Gremlins last year (and the year before that) during X-mas on the tele you would think I'd remember to buy it next time.. but I failed to remember! But it's okay really 'cause I ordered Event Horizon instead. ^^
Also Zelda Spirit Tracks is quite a blast. Whereas in Phantom Hourglass you had a ship to your disposal for your travels, now you have a genuine steam-powered locomotive! Similar to the ship you have limited control over your movements, but now I can accept it a great deal more since you're logically "stuck" on a railroad track. It's also a bit trickier and I just feel more involved. Like you can search for rabbits while travelling and try to catch them. You can bring them to a petting area with the promise that you can pet them as long and much as you want. ..it's kinda weird and I haven't brought any yet to the area, but it really made me curious. XD
A lot of other things in the game are similar to Phantom H. as well, but it's all a bit more polished if you ask me. I still miss Tingle though. =(
In other news, I saw The Children, a nice little British horror movie. It's about two families who come together (in some remote place in the woods where one of them live) to celebrate New Year's eve together. They all have small children and one teenage girl who is basically the main character. One of the small children is sick (they assume car sickness since it's something of a sickly/odd child), but soon enough the other children start to act weird as well. Staring off in space, becoming violent, coughing up blood and having (mental) flashes of disturbing images. Then one of the parents has a lethal accident, which was actually orchestrated by the kids and from that point on the nightmare really begins.
I enjoyed it a lot, even though there were some (but not many) flaws. These were easily forgiven by the disturbing atmosphere that surrounds the movie and the small amount of cheap scares and somewhat unpredictable plot though.
