Synopsis* (possible spoiler alert) ?A Kiss Before DyingA copper refinery owned by Thor Carlsson ships metal on Carlsson Copper trains, watched by a young boy from his home beside the tracks. Decades later in 1987, during a class at the University of Pennsylvania, Dorothy Carlsson absent-mindedly doodles her wedding. Later, changing into a formal outfit, she runs into her friend Patricia Farren, but denies she is meeting her "mystery man". Dorothy meets Jonathan Corliss at City Hall. Finding the marriage licence bureau closed for lunch, they discuss how Dorothy's father would disown her if he knew what she was doing. Convincing Dorothy to wait on the building's roof, they are seated together on the parapet. At first, Dorothy is hesitant, but Jonathan insists they sit there. Saying "I'm sorry, Dorothy. You have only yourself to blame," Jonathan suddenly pushes her over the edge, taking the expensive cigarette lighter that she had left behind. Her body crashes through the glass skylight, and falls to the marble floor below. Returning downstairs, and after mailing a letter in the lobby, he calmly walks past Dorothy's shattered body as a crowd gathers. Thor and his daughter Ellen, Dorothy's twin, are shocked to learn Dorothy was pregnant and read what appears to be her suicide note, mailed the day she died. Ellen cannot believe her sister would kill herself. Jonathan returns to his working-class home in Pittsburgh with clippings about the Carlsson family, particularly the suicides of Thor's wife and son. Promising his mother to make something of his life, Jonathan hitchhikes to New York, accepting a ride from Jay Faraday, a bohemian drifter whose parents died on Korean Air Lines Flight 007. Four months later, Ellen is working at Castle House, a shelter and outreach program. Investigating Dorothy's death, Ellen meets Detective Dan Corelli in Philadelphia. Showing him the drawing Dorothy made of her wedding, dated the day of her death, and noting she died outside the marriage licence bureau, Ellen suggests Dorothy was lured with the promise of marriage and killed by a boyfriend, but Corelli dismisses her theory. Ellen goes to campus, where Patricia reveals Dorothy was dating someone. Ellen finds Dorothy's ex-boyfriend Tommy Roussell, who explains he had a breakdown after his relationship with Dorothy and was out of school when she died. Remembering she then dated another student, Tommy takes Ellen to his apartment to show her the man's yearbook photo. Ellen waits outside, while Jonathan stalks her in his car. Tommy finds Jonathan's photo, but Jonathan strangles him, types a suicide note on Tommy's computer admitting to killing Dorothy, and stages his suicide. Ellen is left convinced that Tommy killed Dorothy. Ellen returns home to New York, and her boyfriend arrives – Jonathan, who has assumed Jay Faraday's identity. Their relationship develops, working together at Castle House, and "Jay" impresses Thor with his ambition. Ellen and Jay marry, and he joins Carlsson Copper. Intercepting a call from Patricia, who is heading to New York after remembering the identity of Dorothy's boyfriend, Jay arranges for Patricia to wait in her hotel room for a call from Ellen the next day. There, he strangles Patricia, dismembering her in the bathtub and stuffing her corpse in a suitcase before going out on a date with Ellen. After driving her home, he dumps the suitcase in the East River. A police detective investigating Patricia's disappearance informs Ellen that her name and number were in Patricia's diary. Suspicious, Ellen confirms with Tommy's parents that he was institutionalised at the time of Dorothy's death. Ellen asks Corelli to reopen the investigation, with no results. At a bar with Ellen, Jay is recognized as Jonathan Corliss by an acquaintance from Philadelphia but insists he is mistaken, eventually hitting him. Unsettled, Ellen digs up a UPenn yearbook and finds a picture of Jonathan. She tracks down Jonathan's mother, who says that Jonathan had committed suicide three years earlier, though his body was never found. Visiting her in the house where he grew up, Ellen learns about his childhood. His mother leaves, and Ellen sneaks inside to search Jonathan's room, finding his suitcase of clippings about her family and her sister's lighter. Jonathan, having followed her, confesses that he killed Faraday and assumed his identity. He schemed to marry into the Carlsson family, but Dorothy's unplanned pregnancy meant she would be disinherited. Jonathan prepares to strangle Ellen, who escapes from the house to the train tracks. Giving chase, Jonathan is run over by a Carlsson train, at the same spot he watched the trains pass as a child. Two Minute WarningAn unknown sniper (Warren Miller) positions himself at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before a professional football championship dubbed "Championship X" (Ten) between Baltimore and Los Angeles, similar to the Super Bowl. He is spotted by a Goodyear Blimp camera. Police and SWAT team are immediately called in by the stadium manager Sam McKeever (Martin Balsam). Police Captain Peter Holly (Charlton Heston), working with SWAT team Sergeant Chris Button (John Cassavetes), devises a plan to capture the sniper before the conclusion of the game. Many of the fans attending the game are introduced. They include Steve and Janet (David Janssen and Gena Rowlands), an argumentative middle-aged couple; Stu Sandman (Jack Klugman), a gambling addict; a Catholic priest (Mitchell Ryan), who is a friend of quarterback Charlie Tyler (Joe Kapp); young married couple Mike and Peggy Ramsay (Beau Bridges and Pamela Bellwood); an elderly pickpocket (Walter Pidgeon) and his young accomplice (Juli Bridges, the then-wife of Beau Bridges); and football fan Al (David Groh), who begins flirting with Lucy (Marilyn Hassett) when he notices her date (Jon Korkes) is more interested in the game than in her. The stadium's maintenance director, Paul (Brock Peters), discovers the sniper's presence and attempts to confront him. The sniper strikes Paul with the butt of his rifle and, undetected by fans, causes him to fall several stories, leaving him severely injured. SWAT team members position themselves on stadium light towers to take aim on the sniper's nest. The sniper kills two of the SWAT marksmen but a third one coolly waits for a clear shot and hits the sniper's arm and neck area, seriously injuring him. Mike Ramsay spots the sniper with his binoculars. He reports it to the police, but rather than thank him, they question him suspiciously and then physically overpower him. Shortly after the game's two-minute warning, the SWAT team is given the green light to go after the sniper. Seeing that he is surrounded, the sniper opens fire, shooting randomly into the crowd. His shots cause a massive riot in which the panicked fans spill onto the field. Many security men, Coliseum personnel, and spectators are killed or wounded. Fleeing spectators are crushed or trampled underfoot while rushing towards exit tunnels. A few lose their footing while climbing down wall-ivy trestles. Steve, Stu, Chris, Peggy, and the pickpocket are among those shot (Chris and Peggy survive). Mike escapes from police custody during the riot and is reunited with Peggy and their children once the stadium empties of people. Ultimately, the sniper is shot by Peter who, along with Chris, and other members of the SWAT team, arrest him. Searching through his wallet, the officers learn the sniper's name: Carl Cook. Cook dies while in custody, revealing nothing about his intent. Button points out that although they know nothing about Cook, over the next few weeks the media, via newspapers and television, will discover all the unknown details about Cook's life: what schools he attended, his nice mother, pet dog, former gym teacher, the body count, and question why the officers had to kill him. Peter sees Button's gunshot wound, and wonders if a doctor had looked at it, to which Button replies, "It's no big deal." Peter then replies, "Don't be a hero, Sergeant. I'll drop you off at the hospital. Come on." Button reluctantly follows Peter, while Sam looks toward the empty football stadium, feeling sad that a lot of people died in the stadium. Peter drives Button to the hospital off-screen, and the film ends. SSSSSSSDr. Carl Stoner, a herpetologist, sells a mysterious creature in a crate to a carnival owner. He later hires college student David Blake as an assistant, claiming that his previous assistant had left town to attend to a sick relative. Unbeknownst to David or anyone else, Stoner is a delusional man. Stoner begins David on a course of injections, purportedly as a safeguard against being bitten by a snake in his lab. David's skin slowly starts to change and even peel like a snakeskin. He begins to have strange nightmares and goes into a coma when having dinner with Stoner, not waking up until a few days later. He also begins to lose weight, but Stoner tells him those are side effects from the venom. David begins a romance with Stoner's daughter Kristina, although her father objects and insists that she not have any sexual relations with him. When David wakes up the next morning, he looks in the mirror and screams in horror. Later, a distraught David is in the lab, where Stoner gives him another injection. Meanwhile, Stoner's suspicious colleague, Dr. Daniels, arrives to inspect the property. Stoner attempts to hide David in a corner, but David gets enough strength to walk to a window, allowing Daniels to see that his face has become green and scaly. Before Daniels can react, Stoner knocks him out and feeds him to a python, and David collapses. Kristina visits a carnival freak show and is horrified when she sees a bizarre "snake-man", whom she recognizes as Stoner's previous assistant. Distraught, she races back home to save David, who is currently mutating into a king cobra, brought about by Stoner's injections. Stoner is bitten by a real king cobra from his lab and dies, just as David's transformation is complete. Kristina arrives home and finds her father's body with the real cobra next to him. Growing suspicious, the police arrive and shoot the cobra before heading to the lab where a mongoose is attacking David's neck, attempting to kill him. The police do not have a clear shot, and as Kristina screams David's name, the movie ends abruptly, leaving their fates uncertain. Forever MineIn an aeroplane in 1987, two men, Alan Riply and Javier are on their way to New York. Alan reminisces an affair he had 14 years earlier while working as a cabana boy at an unnamed opulent beach hotel, where he falls in love with Ella Brice (Mol), the beautiful wife of business mogul Mark Brice. At first resistant, Ella reciprocates his love, and things seem to go well for some time but eventually Mark finds out after Ella confesses her affair after deciding it was the right thing to do. After framing him of drug possession and getting him incarcerated, Mark offers Alan a chance for freedom by simply dropping the affair and never looking for Ella again. Despite this, Alan is undeterred and even mails letters to Ella, including one with a fingerprint in his blood coupled with a series of sincerely passionate claims. Mark decides to have Alan shot and buried alive in a construction site. Though disfigured, Alan survives and goes to Javier's to convalesce and plan his revenge. He murders a Cuban eminent criminal attorney with underworld connections, named Manuel Esquema, whose identity he assumes. Now as Esquema, Alan arrives in New York to meet with Brice who is in legal trouble. Brice later arranges a meeting over dinner at his place, to which Esquema eagerly goes. As he arrives, he is greeted by Ella but is dismayed when she does not recognize him over his disfigurement and chinstrap beard. Esquema constantly stares at her, which Ella notices. Esquema asks about the way Ella has coped with her husband's circumstances, to which she replies she constantly reads Madame Bovary. When Mark questions the cause of his disfigurement, Esquema states it was a birth accident. After he leaves, Ella questions Mark about Esquema, which he angrily brushes off. The following day, Esquema sights Ella at a restaurant where she meets with him supposedly to continue describing Mark's lifestyle, where he admits to not be interested in knowing more about him but rather about her. Ella suddenly leaves the restaurant, forgetting her car keys. When Esquema gives them back, he offers to keep on meeting with her as he correctly deduces her loneliness is affecting her. Ella reluctantly declines. Later, Mark's associate assaults Esquema and Javier demanding them to lay off following Ella. Later that evening, the associate goes to a tanning salon where he is murdered by Javier. Javier exclaiming “Alan Ripley believe it or not” before delivering the fatal gunshot. Concurrently, Esquema emerges at the Brice house and enters without anyone being at home. Ella returns to the house after work and notices his car in the driveway. She enters her home and begins calling out to see who is there. She enters her bedroom and asks whoever is there to announce themselves or she will call the police. Esquema appears out of the darkness and begins to console Ella. He tells her he has been thinking about her and starts to hold her close. In dismay, she attempts to interject but he tells her to be silent and begins to kiss her passionately. It is at that moment that she is reunited with Alan. The two make love passionately off screen and are later shown laying in bed. They plan to run away with each other. The following day Esquema has his final interactions with Mark about his legal predicament and offers him a deal in which he will pay 600,000 and serve 10 months in Allenwood prison. After the men agree to the terms of the deal, Esquema states that there is one more condition. He says that he wants to also take his wife Ella from him, then exits the office. Outraged and confused, Mark demands to find out who this mysterious man is and heads home to confront his wife. To his dismay his wife is not at home when he arrives to look for her and confront her. Ella and Esquema are shown driving in the car together, reminiscing as they also plan their new lives together. Esquema is shown the following morning getting out of the shower. He hears someone enter the cabin. He comes out believing it was Ella returning from grocery shopping and sees it is Mark with a gun. Mark confronts Esquema and confirms that he knows he is the cabana boy and that he regrets not killing him himself. Mark states that he will kill all three of them for love. Esquema refuses to recant his love for Ella and is shot in the neck. Mark then hears Ella returning and meets her outside of the cabin. Ella enters hysterical asking where Esquema is. Mark tells her that it is too late. She screams and begins to panic and push her way into the cabin to find him. She is grabbed by Mark who holds the gun to her head. Esquema then runs up behind Mark in an effort to save Ella. Mark and Esquema begin to fight and Mark drops the gun which Ella picks up. Once Mark is subdued, Ella runs to Esquema. The two are shown in the back of an ambulance on their way to the hospital. Ella holds Esquema and begs him to stay with her. He closes his eyes but ultimately becomes fixed on what Ella is saying. She begins telling their story and the two of them are seen in a series of flashbacks from the hotel. The movie ends with a fading scene of them together from the beginning saying how she would be forever his. With this scene, the movie concludes. The Trigger EffectAnnie and Matthew, a young married couple, find their infant daughter screaming with a high temperature and an earache. Matthew calls the doctor, who promises to phone in a prescription to the pharmacist the following day. During the night, the neighbourhood wakes up due to a massive power outage. When Matthew visits the pharmacist the next day, he is unable to get the required medicine due to the blackout. Matthew steals the medicine when the pharmacist is not looking. Social unrest ensues due to the persistent blackout, leading Matthew and his wife's best friend, Joe, to buy a shotgun, and for Joe to stay with them during the outage. When an intruder breaks into the couple's house the following night, Matthew and Joe chase him outside, where a neighbour shoots the intruder. The neighbours conspire to cover up the fact that the deceased intruder was not armed. As the blackout continues for days over a large area, more chaos occurs. As a result, the group decides to flee to Annie's parents' house, 530 miles away. They do not have enough fuel to travel the whole way, so they stop by an abandoned car hoping to syphon some. A man, Gary, is lying in the backseat. After Joe notices that Gary has a handgun, he heads back to their vehicle to get his own shotgun. Joe aims the shotgun at Gary to scare him off, but he shoots Joe and steals their vehicle. Matthew walks an hour to a farmhouse to try to get help for his family. The occupant, Raymond, refuses to help him initially, as he does not trust him. Matthew collects the shotgun and returns to the house, hoping to steal the car. He breaks in to get the car keys, and a standoff ensues between him and Raymond. When Raymond's young daughter enters the room, Matthew returns to civility, lowering his weapon. Raymond agrees to help Matthew, and soon afterwards Joe is loaded into an ambulance. Society returns to normal once the power returns, though Annie, Matthew and their neighbours are somewhat different from their experience. *Information sourced online in the public domain.

Payment Please pay for your purchase within 7 days, or the sale will be cancelled and the item automatically relisted. As a courtesy, a generic payment reminder will be sent after 4 days. Feedback Policy I sell tangible goods - NOT feedback. For this reason, I do not leave feedback for buyers, and never have done. I use the automated feedback system which eBay provides sellers. It is triggered to leave a positive rating and a random comment (from a list of 10 saved comments) upon receipt of positive feedback from the buyer - or in simpler terms, at the conclusion of the transaction. If you're expecting feedback prior to the conclusion of the transaction, or if you expect personalised rather than generic comments, please be prepared for disappointment. Any/all message requests for feedback will either receive a generic reply, or be ignored completely. So the bottom line is; don't expect feedback, don't be a feedback beggar, and your feedback score will automatically increase by one after you complete the transaction. If you disagree with my feedback policy, please find an alternate seller. Terms of Sale (the fine print)Unfortunately, a certain undesirable element has made the inclusion of these terms a necessity. They are as follows;By bidding, buying or making an offer, you agree that you have read the listing in its entirety - including these terms. You acknowledge understanding all content, and confirm complete agreement with same. All of my listings have preferences set to automatically decline unrealistic offers. I'm not in the habit of giving things away, so please keep it real. Sending ridiculously low counter offers (lowballing) will result in you being blocked immediately. If you seriously think I will entertain an offer of $2.50 for a $425.00 item, I suggest you seek help for your condition. Perhaps unassisted online shopping isn't an appropriate activity for you. While on the subject of blocking, if you wish to make an offer, please use the tools provided by eBay. If you try to circumvent the system by messaging me with an offer, you will be reported for trying to trade outside of eBay, and voilà... you're blocked. Estimated delivery times are just that - an estimate. They are provided by eBay, and have nothing whatsoever to do with either the delivery service provider or the seller. Postage star ratings for all items are in relation to the seller's handling time. As in, how long it takes them to post the item after receiving your payment. You are rating the seller - NOT the delivery service provider. Sellers have no control over delivery times for Australia Post, Aramex, DHL, or any other chosen shipping company. If you wish to rate their service, please visit their respective website. Using the eBay feedback system to rate a seller's handling time, based on the level of service you were provided by a third party, is not only unfair, it's highly inappropriate. At the time of dispatch, you will receive an email advice with an attached photograph of the item as it went out the door. While items are dispatched at all hours of the day and night, in most cases they are generally not picked up until some time between 8am and 6pm on the following business day (usually around noon, but times vary). Different screen resolutions may alter colours on different devices. Any measurements given are done by hand, and therefore approximate.

While all care is taken, the possibility still remains of static electricity causing lint, thread, plastic or even a stray hair to cling to packaging items. If there's even the slightest chance you may find this offensive, please do not purchase this item. Upon entry of the UPC number, item specifics are auto-filled by the eBay system. These system generated product details overwrite manual entries, and may, or may not be accurate. The grading system used on my listings is provided by eBay. For console game discs, CDs and DVDs, it is as follows; Disc ConditionScratching/MarkingRatingBrand NewN/AN/ALike NewBlemish FreeVery GoodAnywhere between Light and MediumGoodAnywhere between Medium and HighAcceptableAnywhere between High and Extreme All items are graded based on whichever category applies best to the item. As an example, an item listed as "Good" condition, doesn't mean it is in good condition. It means it is the grading (as the second lowest), which best applies to the item. If you disagree with the grading system implemented by eBay and used in this listing, please do not buy this item. When an item is described as used, that means it is used. All known defects, blemishes or imperfections are noted in the listing. If you are wanting a new item, please buy one. Do not buy a used item and expect something brand new to be delivered - especially for $3.00 with free postage. If something is described as having medium to high level scratching, expect it to have medium to high level scratching. Complaining that your item showed up scratched when that is exactly how it was described casts serious doubt on your character and/or intelligence. Once again, if you are after a blemish free item, please buy it new. Used CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs are checked for defects under warm light, cool light and natural light. They are then tested on a Laser BLU-BD4000 Blu-ray player, while console games are tested on the relevant gaming console.

It is not. It means that the postage cost is factored into the sale price, and borne by the seller.
