A budget 3-D production
on May 1, 2017
Posted by: ShopperNJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this 3-D copy because Best Buy was selling it for $10. I am happy with this purchase only because it cost $10.
As my summary says, I believe this is a budget 3-D production. There are times when the 3-D looks just great. And there are other times when it seems very lacking or absent. There seemed to be times where one cut to the next, one would be 3-D the next wouldn't.
Bottom line, if you can get it for $10, and you want to see a version of it in 3-D, you may be happy with it is I am for that price.

Come on the Guys are so cute, what can I say!
on April 3, 2017
Posted by: ShopperNJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
For those of you who aren't aware, the Despicable Me movies, and the Minion movie, are cute, and I think a lot of fun.
I bought this Blu-ray when Best Buy had it on sale for $12.99, and I think it's a really good deal. This Blu-ray comes with a 3-D disc, a Blu-ray, a DVD, and digital copy either in Ultraviolet or iTunes. The Blu-ray comes with a commentary by the directors along with three mini-movies, one of which is in 3-D, the making of the mini-movies, some deleted scenes.
As for the 3-D disc itself, I think it looks excellent! I really enjoyed their use of 3-D in this movie, and I personally think it helped make it even more enjoyable to watch. Quite a number of the visual gags in the film lent themselves to 3-D. If you're not a credit watcher, and you're watching it in 3-D, I highly suggest you watch these credits. They are very amusing!
This disc does remember where you left off, which I like very much. One thing I don't like, is that when you place the disc on pause, you lose the 3-D. The pause menu is in 3-D, but the image you want to pause to take a closer look at goes flat. To me that's very stupid!
I'm very glad I got this 3-D disc set, I think if you purchase it, you'll enjoy it also!

Two Disney movies for nine bucks, great deal!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this disc for $9 from Best Buy, and I think it's a really good deal. Both the Rescuers, the Rescuers Down Under a pretty good movies, at least I enjoyed both of them.
Both movies come on one disc, and are chosen through the menu. There is one thing that I did not like about this disc, and that's it does not remember where you left off. Other than that, both movies looking very good, clean, and sounded just fine.
One last thing, I was surprised to find that both George C Scott's, and John Candy's voices were used in this movie.

A good origins tale for The Wolverine!
on March 19, 2017
Posted by: ShopperNJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not a giant fan of the X-Men, or the Wolverine for that matter, but since I recently have purchased and enjoyed both The Wolverine in 3-D, and X-Men Apocalypse in 3-D, I thought I'd give this one a shot. I mean after all it's a origin story.
And I'm glad I did! As origin story goes I thought it was very interesting to learn about him and his brother. And finally how he became Wolverine. There's lots of action, great effects, and a very decent story. You get a good understanding of what makes Wolverine who is.
I think this disc looks very good and sounds great too. There's two audio commentary which I can't comment on right now because I haven't listened to them yet. There's a conversation with Stan Lee, deleted and alternate scenes with commentary, a Fox Movie Channel world premiere doc. And let's not forget it comes with a digital copy both in iTunes and Ultraviolet which you need to redeem by 1-10-20.
So all in all if you're in the X-Men\Wolverine fan I think you'll enjoy this Disc.

The little 3-D movie that could!
on March 5, 2017
Posted by: ShopperNJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've seen this movie before in 2-D and enjoyed it and never thought I would get it. But now that I'm capable of watching 3-D movies, and since I found it for nine dollars, I decided to purchase it.
Well, I believe the little movie that I enjoyed watching in 2D, I enjoyed far more in 3-D. Yes to me 3-D made a difference. I was very impressed with the quality of the 3-D. And as far as I'm concern, though the movie takes place mainly at night, with my set up, it look wonderful in terms of clarity, image quality, and 3-D!
It has two audio commentaries, one by the writer/director, and another by filmmakers associated to the movie. It also has two featurette's, "Creating a Monster" and "Frankenstein's Creatures". I have watched the featurette's and enjoy them very much. But can't tell you anything about the commentaries as of yet. It also says it comes with a digital copy, but the sheet inside says that it's expired after 5/13/15.
All in all I'm very glad that I purchased this 3-D copy! As for the movie itself, you'll have to decide that one on your own. Remember, I'm giving it five stars for the disk, and I did enjoy the movie.

A 3-D outing that looks gorgeous!

Pompeii 3-D
Pompeii is not the best movie in the world, and it is not the worst. I purchased this movie for a number reasons, one, it cost $5 on sale and two, it's 3-D. And I'm just getting into 3-D, and I enjoyed it. Because it was 3-D, and I did enjoy the characters, and the storyline. I will admit, I'm glad I didn't have to try to write a story about a volcano exploding. But as I said I enjoyed watching the characters and the setting. Very nice period piece.
The disc looked fantastic and sounded great. It has deleted scenes, filmmakers commentary, and ultraviolet digital, among other things.
It was directed by Paul WS Anderson, a director whose work I enjoy. He shot it in 3-D which which gives it that wonderful depth that you don't get with conversion all the time. This look excellent.
So all in all I'm glad I purchased this movie, and I did enjoy watching it, and looking forward to watching it again.

Spiderman 2 in 3-D, A joy to watch.
on February 5, 2017
Posted by: ShopperNJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
First off, this is not my favorite film, but I purchased it because it was in 3-D and it cost $10. Also, part of the film was filmed in my hometown of Rochester New York. So I kind of had to buy it.
I did enjoy watching it in 3-D and I am glad I purchased it.
The disc looked very good, and I thought the 3-D was just great.
I think that if you're longing to see this in 3-D, and you can get it for $10, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all.

The Boys from the Dwarf ARE BACK!
on February 5, 2017
Posted by: ShopperNJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm really glad I got this disc! And as I said, the boys are back.
I purchased this disc for about $20, and think it was well worth it.
I found myself laughing out loud at the six episodes that are on this disc. The stories and Comedy where as inventive as ever. They still have got what it takes!
There's also a documentary that's about an hour long of behind the scenes that I really enjoyed watching, and also laughed through. By the way, in the documentary seems to indicate that there is a season 12 that's coming up. And I'll tell you right now, I'll be getting it.
So if your Red Dwarf fan, I think you'll enjoy this very much!

A classic 3-D movie with Vincent price!
on January 21, 2017
Posted by: ShopperNJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the 1st 3D movie that I ever saw, over 40 years ago, and the first one that I put through my projector to see 3D in my home. I am very happy, both with the projector and this movie.
The movie itself is not a great movie, and that's by today standards, but if you enjoy this type of genre, it is a good watch. And seeing that it has Vincent Price, and Charles Bronson are in it, and is a classic, how could you go wrong.
The transfer looked very good to me, even considering it's age, and that it was made relatively early in the 3D days. (Not to mention the director only had one eye). It looked better than I've ever seen, crisp and clear with wonderful color!
The one thing that I did notice was that in some scene's, it's as thought the person focusing wasn't sure where to focus, so he focused in the middle, leaving both people slightly out of focus. And being in 3D, your forced to focus where they want you to, and in this case it's nowhere.
That aside, it was filmed in 3D which gives it a more natural look than conversion, and 99% of the time it looks great! There's fantastic detail up and down the streets in night scenes, in the Cabaret, and the museum.
There is also a Doc about the movie that was very interesting.
So if you're a fan of this kind of film, and have 3-D, I think you'll enjoy this! And I only paid $10 for it.

Bad Boys I and II are featured in this special digitally enhanced collection. Former video director Michael Bay had his first big hit with the 1995 action comedy, which also returned producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson to the big-budget, high-violence movies that they successfully churned out in the '80s. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are two Miami cops who watch as 100 million dollars in heroin, from the biggest drug bust of their careers, is stolen out of the basement of police headquarters. This puts them hot on the trail of French drug lord Fouchet (Tchéky Karyo), who leaves a trail of bodies in his wake and only one witness, Julie Mott (Téa Leoni), who quickly teams up with our heroes. In the 2003 sequel, Burnett and Lowrey have been assigned to head up a task force to investigate the illegal trafficking of ecstasy into the city. They discover that an underground gang war has been instigated by drug kingpin Johnny Tapia (Jordi Molla). In order to cut off the flow of the designer drug, they have to take down Tapia.

Bad boys, back to back!
on January 21, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
OK, you know you love watching these two bad boys together, and this is a great collection!
Both of the blu-rays look fantastic, but I will point out they were shot on film, so therefore you will see some grain in the image. Which quite frankly did not bother me in the least, it gave it a good farmiliar feel to it.
They both come with plenty of extras for you to watch. The first comes with a commentary by Michael Bay, where is the second one does not.
Either way if you like the movies, I think you'll enjoy this set very much. I got it from Best Buy for about $10, and I think that's a great deal!

Transport files between computers with this 32GB SanDisk Ultra Fit flash drive. The USB 3.1 connectivity ensures rapid data transfer, and the USB 2.0 backward compatibility lets you use the drive with older systems. This SanDisk Ultra Fit flash drive has a compact design for convenient portability and an unobtrusive profile during use.
 

Why are these all sold out but there are no comments?

Well in my case, I purchased this thumb drive because I was giving a similar sized thumb drive to a relative, and I didn't want to be left without a thumb drive of that size. And as it turns out I have yet to use it, so I put no comments on it. Since I bought it for $10 and it's 32 gig and USB 3 and it's so small and cute, I had to buy it.
