Scrapped Princess - Vol. 4: Spells and Circumstances (DVD)
An epic fantasy anime with a difficult moral question at its center, SCRAPPED PRINCESS hinges on a prophecy that could spell doom for a young woman...or the entire world! Pacifica is on the run, along with her swordsman brother Shannon and magician sister Racquel, from groups of professional killers, with no one willing to take her in and defend her. What has led Pacifica to this unfortunate fate? It has been foretold that, when she turns 16, Pacifica will somehow poison the world, sending it into ruin. With her birthday fast approaching, there are those who will stop at nothing to prevent Pacifica from seeing it. In VOLUME 4: SPELLS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, Pacifica loses her siblings and friends, and worse yet, cannot remember anything. Walking around with amnesia, she leads the life of a normal girl. But how long can the blessing of living an average life go on? Sooner or later, her true identity as the Scrapped Princess will emerge.

Robert Benton's directorial debut stars Jeff Bridges as young con man Jake Rumsey in this highly original Western. After Drew Dixon (Barry Brown), an upright young man, is sent west by his religious family to avoid being drafted into the Civil War, he drifts across the land with a loose confederation of young vagrants. He connects with the entertaining Jake, and they add a couple of others, including Loney (John Savage) and Arthur (Jerry Houser), to a gang that is barely surviving in the harsh climate of the West. They have to avoid confrontations not only with professional criminals--such as Big Joe (David Huddleston)--but also from hardened civilians who would kill a young boy for trying to steal a pie. Always outdoors, without as much as one horse among them, they're even at the mercy of the elements. As the boys' tribulations mount, their naive visions of cowboy glory fade, and Drew begins to realize that a life of crime may be his only means of survival.Though boasting a stellar cast, a strong script, and inspired direction, the film proved a disappointment at the box office, perhaps because of its bleak vision and loose, episodic narrative. The unjustly ignored masterpiece also features an arresting tonal combination of Brechtian irony and absurdist whimsy, as well as brilliant photography by the legendary Prince of Darkness, Gordon Willis (THE GODFATHER, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN), who skillfully utilizes a unique, expressive palette of washed-out grays and browns.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digtal Mono - EnglishInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selection

These Four Aces chips are the latest edition to our poker chip collection and have several great characteristics that help to separate them from the standard style of poker chips.
Measuring 39 mm in diameter and weighing 11.5 grams each, these chips are produced from a composite resin with an insert that gives them the weight and feel of a genuine casino quality chip. What makes them unique however, is the high quality graphic embedded as part of the chip. This graphic is not a sticker and will never peel or show any kind of lift from the chip. Each chip has a colorful image of a 4-of-a-kind poker hand in aces surrounding the denomination. Each denomination is a slightly different label color, matching the color of the chips' stripes.
This set includes 50 $1 chips and 50 $5 chips. The best part about these chips is that they already have the denominations on them.
