Great ending to the series
on June 14, 2016
Posted by: slides316

Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife has read all the books and I have seen only the movies. This movie was well done and is an intense, sometimes brutal, reflection of current societal views. The story is what has been the shining light for this series and it reaches a pinnacle in this last installment with the cast giving amazing performances. Cinematography brings the action to life and fleshes out the drama that unfolds between characters, good or bad. Video presentation is crisp and fine. The sound is great and a capable HT system will take advantage of the wide dynamic range and subtle surround sound cues.
This is a film that is darker than the predecessors, and while some of it seems innocuous, this is not a movie for younger audiences. Overall a great film and an enjoyable story.

Fantastic and fun movie
on June 14, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Saw this movie in the theaters and loved it. From the story to the action to delivery of content and humor by the cast and writers, there is no shortcomings to this film. Action is quick paced but bountiful and cinematography is very good for a movie that makes fun of itself. Video content is presented nicely with excellent contrast and fine detail; it mates very well to the dynamic sound stage. A high quality HT system will bring lots of life to this movie.
As has been marketed and repeated over and over, this movie is NOT for kids. The character this movie is based on is over the top and the movie properly and accurately brings that to the big screen. Language is strong as are adult themes and no child under 16 or so should see this film.

With an advanced pressure control system, this Waterpik Ultra WP-112 water flosser features 10 settings for custom use. The high-volume reservoir holds plenty of water for less-frequent refills and offers in-lid storage for the 6 included tips.

A need for those with braces
on April 28, 2016
Posted by: slides316
from Amarillo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
We purchased this waterpik for my daughter who recently got braces. It has been a valuable and hassle free purchase. It does a far better job of cleaning between her braces brackets and under the wires than the dental tree cleaning "sticks" initially provided by the orthodontist and that we have had to purchase. It has a nicely powerful but non-irritating water stream, is not very loud and the large reservoir ensures there is enough water for my daughter to take her time flossing out any food so that her brackets, wire, teeth and gums stay clean in between full brushings.

Upgrade from DVD
on April 28, 2016
Posted by: slides316
from Amarillo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I already owned the movie on DVD. I purchased it due to a sale and have slowly been upgrading and replacing DVD movies I have. The visual presentation is slightly improved over the DVD, which is not bad do to the up-scaling of modern Blu-ray players. The sound, however, is definitely more rich and dynamic with a better LFE channel than the DVD. It will play very nicely on a capable sound system, with those having better performing subwoofers getting the most bang for their buck.
The movie itself is excellent with a great story and many themes for kids and adults alike. A must own if it is not a part of your movie library.

Nostalgia and Instant Classic
on April 28, 2016
Posted by: slides316
from Amarillo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this movie for a friend's birthday since he is a big Ice Cube fan. We watched it, and having seen it before in my younger days, I was reminded of how funny the movie was and see that several of the more poignant scenes still ring true today so I purchased it as well. It happened to be on sale so it was a double win. This movie presents well in Blu-ray, and while definitely not for kids, is still more than the comedy it was initially marketed as.

Marvel did well
on February 15, 2016
Posted by: slides316
from Amarillo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Saw the movie in theaters and liked it very much. while many complain of a few plot issues and some parts where the movie drags, it is still a great story and per usual sets future Marvel hero movies into motion. There were a few surprises and nice touches by the writers and director. The cast comes together even better than the first Avengers. Video wise, the movie is excellent with fast scenes rendered well and small details coming across. A higher end HDTV will let this movie shine. Sound is just as fantastic with lots of dynamic and for those that seek "boom", it is there too. Again, a more capable sound system with bring out the best and smallest details that the audio engineer saw fit to include.
The movie is more dark than the first and has a few more "adult" themes but nothing inappropriate for younger viewers ages 8-10+.

Same but better
on February 15, 2016
Posted by: slides316
from Amarillo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game brings back some characters from previous versions of the games and adds a few more. The fighting styles have been updated and expanded upon. So a player can be familiar with one character's fight mode but not another; this adds so much more possibilities to the matches. The story modes are interesting but not needed. There are also more "tower" modes to challenge your skills and unlock more parts of the game. Graphics are great and newer combos and X-ray moves are awesome, especially giving them and not receiving them. Not really a game for younger kids due to story mode language and themes but anyone over 12 should be okay with the fighting style complexity and those story mode issues (despite the M rating).

Get a groove on
on February 15, 2016

from Amarillo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game is the usual fare for the Just Dance genre of games. With the Kinect, which I highly recommend, it is a fun way to get crazy. The music comes across very well when paired to a nice sound system and the songs are up to date and recent releases. Plus, this game offers a "subscription" service to "unlimited" which opens up even more songs and choreography. The 48 hour trial version of the unlimited which is included really does take the game to new heights.

Fun way to beat up on friends
on February 15, 2016

from Amarillo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game has delivered lots of fun and beat downs. The graphics are pretty good and the actual wrestler renditions are really good. Individual wrestling modes are good but the real fun gets going with multiple player matches, in game, like the Royal Rumble, etc. Definitely a must for any fan of wrestling and any group of friends wanting multiplayer action without joining any online stuff.

Incredible graphics and simulations
on February 15, 2016
Posted by: slides316
from Amarillo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this game on Black Friday as an Xmas gift. The graphics area absolutely stunning and the in game "physics" and VR are incredible. The game difficulty is a bit extreme for younger players. The only real gripe is that on the Xbox console play modes, cannot say about the online extensions, is there seems to be no way to get past the mandatory "school" qualifiers. I know this is to "teach" some of the more detailed racing aspects to players but this is not a NASCAR or Formula One tryout, it is a game.
