In the Top 5 of all-time animes.

Few animes can match masterpieces such as Akira and Ninja Scroll. Mononoke is neck and neck with Spirited Away for doing so. The film is like no other Miyazaki film out there with violence, a leading male protagonist and NO FLYING around! How is this even a Miyazaki flick if nobody's flying around wildly?...
Well, it's still Miyazaki all the way through. The animation style is totally his, the varied environmental viewpoints are Miyazaki to a T, and of course there's the obligatory food pr0n and indomitable females. My only two gripes with Princess Mononoke are that it's a little on the blue side (not figurative, the color palette is bluer than most), and of course the notoriously bad voice acting and dubbing. I love Billy Bob Thorton, he does a great job on this outing, but everyone else is either muddled, or completely missed any emotional notes they were supposed to hit. Other than that, it's a great movie, and even better in glorious HD on Blu-ray! The animation is crystal with no noticeable artifacting, and the music fidelity is the best you can find on an anime in 5.1. Extras are ho-hum though. It seems that Disney is adding promotional stuff over extra content in their releases, as Nausicaa has this same lack of note worthy extras. The only extras I'd recommend from one of these Ghibli/Disney collaborations is from Spirited Away, which has exhaustive extra content.
Buy this, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and Nausicaa if you truly love Miyazaki's movies. They are all superb and truly the cream of the crop.

Need I say more. If you haven't seen Casino, go buy Casino. Scorsese is Scorsese no matter what material he's dealing with. Visceral is the word I'd use to describe this experience.

Make the most of your pay-as-you-go cell phone using this $15 prepaid wireless airtime card that is redeemable for talk time, text messaging, games and other pay-as-you-go services.

Great, and unbeleivably expensive.

Pay as you go plans are pretty much the only way to go if you hate phones. Full plans are just too outrageous. You don't get a whole lot of bang for your buck; each minute is 5 cents, and each text is 20, but if you only talk on your phone 20 minutes a month, why pay more? You can get that anywhere that has a Wi-Fi hotspot.
The cards are annoying to buy, and AT&T is currently "renovating" the system to make it more like points rather than dollar amounts. To activate the cards, you have to check your voice mail, or try and call the number on the back of the cards (it's like *888 and then the number on the card), but it never works for me unless my account is at $0.00. I use the cards for both my cell and my AT&T hotspot. Both blow through these things way too fast. But AT&T is the only thing in my area that works. So they win the monopoly war.
I don't recommend AT&T's Go cards over anybody else's' unless you're stuck with their service like I am. The fact that you have to drop $50 a month to get anything close to "unlimited" is outrageous and exploitative. And the internet is a joke. Fast, reliable, but when you spend $50 and get 6 hours out of it, you'll definitely consider getting a different internet provider. Here's hoping 2016 will bring around changes in telecommunication services and what's allowable by Big Business providers. Not recommended, unless you're cheap and hate paying for utilities like I do.
