Very good case for a Galaxy S8+

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the slimmest case I could find that protects the screen of an S8+ as well as the back. It's a very good case, and as two (more) plusses, the front part is detachable, and also there is a slim partition that can hold one or two business cards (useful if some honest person finds your phone). But if you want to detach the front part that safeguards the screen, then just buy a case that (like most of them) provides no screen protection. So I don't quite get the concept here, but this case is worth buying for my purposes & I'm happy with it.

Interesting updating of a classic
on May 29, 2017
Posted by: gearhead12345
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the eighth film in "The Ring" series (counting Japanese as well as U.S. productions). "Rings" updates the evil technology from VHS to PC, and the cultural background as well. Liberal use is made of clips from the first U.S. release, which adds to the effect, and the same actress who portrayed the double-jointed femme fatale in the first U.S. production is back again, in the same role. Got right: At the very end we see, with a jolt, what our current technology can do for us, and it isn't pretty. About 4/5th of the way through, though, the climactic 'horror' scene is too long, and drags. But mostly this movie is worth seeing - and a must-buy for "Ring" fans.

This second-gen Moto is attractive, has almost all the functions you might want (although limited capability in many), and is very attractive on your wrist, as well. Add-ons such as extra faces are an easy download, and inexpensive. Battery life is very impressive, and use of a charging-cradle rather than a cable is excellent. This gen has too-frequent problems with some functions, however; problems based on connectivity and interfacing with the Android phone and with the outside world via wifi. Everything should work instantly and as smooth as silk - and probably will with the 3d gen - so buy now or wait, your choice.

![12 Monkeys: Season One [3 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4715/4715120_sa.jpg)
Time traveler James Cole (Aaron Stanford), keen-witted virologist Cassandra Railly (Amanda Schull) and brilliantly demented mathematical genius Jennifer Goines (Emily Hampshire) form a team intent on stopping the radical "Army of the Twelve Monkeys" from unleashing a virus that will toll the death knell for humanity. The explosive first season of the apocalyptic sci-fi drama based on the cult movie by Terry Gilliam is collected in this four-DVD set.

The original film, La Jetee, is one of my all-time SF favorites, as is the Bruce Willis / Brad Pitt 12 Monkeys. But this TV 12 Monkeys doesn't work for me: Too many abrupt time-shifts, too confusing - In the previous versions, WHEN you are is clear without always relying on titles, and always well motivated. Unimpressive photography in this new take as well, and distracting sub-plots. Too bad.

Recharge or sync your equipped cell phone or portable device with this Platinum PT-PARISA6 micro USB 3.0 cable that features aluminum housings for durability. An LED light at the cable end illuminates when touched to add a stylish look.

This is a power cord for the Galaxy S5 smartphone, if you'd like a spare for traveling, etc., or need a new one. When you pick it up, the tip glows - not just "a stylish look," but practical because the odd power coupling design makes plugging the cord into the phone clumsy and awkward in dim light. Having just enough light to show you which way to insert the plug is very practical. Two I-wish-es, however: white not black, and retractable via spool. These would make this a five-star item for me if it had these features.

This set contains every episode from season five of The Walking Dead, the long-running AMC series starring Andrew Lincoln as Rick, a small-town Georgia cop who helps lead a band of survivors on a seemingly never-ending trek to find a safe haven after a zombie epidemic has swept across the country.

"Dead" continues its enthralling course
on December 5, 2015
Posted by: gearhead12345
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The fifth season of Walking Dead continues to introduce new and quite different aspects of the concept - not just regurgitating a gory story line. This time, there's an idyllic community that thinks they're safe - until Rick and crew arrive and prove to them forcefully that they're not safe, and not very idyllic, either.
And for the first time since season 1, we see Morgan. Remember him? It looks like he may play a major role in the last season, whenever that comes.
Again, the DVD edition seems technically better than the Blu-Ray edition.

Excellent quality, no fuss, no mess, but pricey

Verified Purchase:Yes
All the hp 131A-series toner cartridges are of excellent quality, extremely easy to remove and install, no toner spilled. I have never had an issue with any color in this series (including black). My only complaint is the price - I would believe that the profit margin on these cartridges is very high - high enough to make up for selling the printer itself at a bargain price, and then some!

Excellent sci-fi, but skip the unrated version
on October 18, 2013
Posted by: gearhead12345
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the combined DVD/Blu-Ray package with unrated extra footage, almost all of which was wisely cut out of the movie as shown in theaters. The only really good addition is a single, one-second shot of a severed arm - otherwise, the theatrical version is crisper, faster, more coherent. The film itself is most notable for having breathtaking CGIs - in this case, the technique combined CGI with live actors in a creative and convincing way. The fall of Jerusalem sequence is unforgettable, as is the "zombies on a plane" sequence. The WWZ book portrayed a long, hard struggle to save mankind, but the movie chose to shortcut the tough work with a stupid and incredible gimmick that allows Brad Pitt to save the world. Too bad. But overall, you've got to see this movie. PS- the Blu-Ray version is only slightly more vivid than the DVD version, so you might not want to spend the extra $$$.

What's great about it: Breathtaking CGI, always good to watch Brad Pitt in action
What's not so great: Stupid plot gimmick allows Brad Pitt to save the world.
