Matthew Vaughn Returns for Decent Spy Followup
on December 21, 2017
Posted by: ANDM
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: the Secret Service was a surprise hit a few years ago, combining the over-the-top adventure of the 1970s Bond films with a modern take on British class conflict. The sequel is not as satisfying, but fans of the original will still find plenty to enjoy, especially since Vaughn found a way to bring back Colin Firth's character back from the grave.

The icon returns
on December 21, 2017
Posted by: ANDM
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's hard to imagine George Lucas's legendary space opera without the iconic music of John Williams, and fans are fortunate that in his mid-80s he remains one of the few crew members who worked on the 1977 original still involved with the series. In this score for the newest film, The Last Jedi, Williams combines the new themes he created for 2015's The Force Awakens with some of his classic cues. It makes for his most satisfying score since Return of the Jedi. Highly recommended.

Pop Beck is Still Beck
on December 15, 2017
Posted by: ANDM
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Beck has been known to bounce back and forth across genres, and after his last, contemplative album Morning Phase, something more high-energy was due. Colors is Beck as his poppiest, but it still showcases his incredible talent. Standout tunes are Colors and Dreams.

Spidey Comes Home...to the Marvel Universe
on December 15, 2017
Posted by: ANDM
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
There have been five previous Spider-Man films, but this is the first one set in Marvel's cinematic universe. As established in Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker is still a nerdy teenager who gained super-powers from a spider's bite, but now he gets to operate the world of Iron Man, Captain America, and the Avengers. The film balances Peter's young crime-fighting career with usual high school angst, and it all works quite well. This may be the best Spidey film yet.

The Apes Reboot Trilogy Bows out in Style
on December 15, 2017
Posted by: ANDM
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The new Planet of the Apes movies have been thrilling-combining cutting edge visual effects with the same social relevance found in the Charleston Heston original. In this final film of the new trilogy, the apes have almost conquered the Earth, but a ragtag group of former Special Forces-led by Woody Harrelson-is bent on destroying ape leader Caesar and his ape society. Not quite as good as the second film, but a fitting end to the trilogy.

Charlize Kicks Butt in 1980s Berlin
on December 15, 2017
Posted by: ANDM
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Spy movies are great, and so are films set in the 80s, and this film is both. Charlize Theron is terrific as a British agent sent to sort out a mess in Berlin shortly before the Wall came down. Fantastic fight scenes and a great 80s pop soundtrack dive the movie. Not quite as good as John Wick, but Theron gives the role her all.

A Minor Holiday Classic
on December 26, 2016
Posted by: ANDM
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's hard to believe that Christmas Vacation is now more than a quarter century old, and while it's the only "Vacation" movie where the Griswold clan stays at home, there are still plenty of laughs from Chevy Chase and Co, including the antics of Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid, whose recent behavior suggests he wasn't acting in this role). It's not A Christmas Story, Home Alone, or Die Hard, but it's still in the upper tier of Christmas movies. The only extra is a commentary with some of the filmmakers, but with its modest price it's well worth picking up.

Good, Functional Basic Keyboard
on December 26, 2016
Posted by: ANDM
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you want a replacement for your current wireless keyboard or just want to cut the cords, this is a solid choice. It has decent range and is quite affordable. It's made out of basic plastic so if you're looking for premium features look elsewhere, but it is quite adequate for basic typing and mouse functions, and is very affordable.

Good Replacement Cable For the Price
on June 24, 2016
Posted by: ANDM
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have any Apple devices you know that your lightning cables can take a beating, with the cords getting chewed up, and Apple charges quite a bit for replacements. This generic one by Best Buy's brand seems quite sturdy, with the cable as least as strong, if not stronger, than the Apple version. No issues with charging, it's a great value for anyone who needs a replacement.

Nearly 14 years after the original series ended, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson return as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully for a six-episode run of the hit sci-fi series. The duo is back investigating strange cases such as UFO sightings, alien abductions and all things paranormal. Mulder, of course, is still a strong believer in the paranormal world, while Scully, a medical doctor, is a natural skeptic who provides a counterbalance to her partner's faithful approach. This multi-disc set includes episode commentaries, a behind-the-scenes look at The Event Series, a gag reel, and a compilation of the most memorable Monster of the Week moments.

The Truth Is (Mostly) Out There
on June 24, 2016
Posted by: ANDM
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a fan of 90s sci-fi The X-Files needs no introduction, with a 9 year run on the FOX network and a feature film between seasons 5 and 6 featuring the exploits of two FBI agents, scientist Dana Scully and her partner Fox Mulder, a man driven by the abduction of his sister as a child to chase the paranormal. The show was an enormous hit during its original run, although it did peter out in its final seasons, and a subsequent feature film in 2008 made very little impact at the box office. But, now, 23 years after it went on the air, nostalgia is high and FOX has brought back The X-Files as a 6 episode "event." The results, unfortunately, are hit-or-miss.
The middle 3 episodes (2-4) are quite good, with 2 and 4 being classic "MOTWs" (monster of the week) and 3 a funny one involving a creature who is turned into a man and finds out being a human isn't all that great. Episode 5 is just a mess, mixing a terrorist plot with tinges of Islamophobia with a bizarre mushroom trip by Mulder. None of it works. And episodes 1 and 6, dealing with a twist on the classic "mythology" about a conspiracy within the government to cover up and facilitate an alien invasion, are quite flat. Show creator Chris Carter feels rusty in his writing, and in his haste to cram so much material into just two episodes, does the viewer no favors.
The extras on the Blu-ray are quite excellent, however, with several commentaries featuring Chris Carter, several show writers, and stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. There are also several thorough documentaries on the making of the new series. It's clear this was a labor of love for the cast and crew, it's just a pity the results are so uneven. However, if you're a die hard X-Files fan, 3 good episodes and some great extras make this well worth a purchase.
