Worthy successor to the original
on February 6, 2016
Posted by: JonB
Verified Purchase:Yes
To begin with, I’ve never hated/disliked the previous two Jurassic sequels, not even the third movie, even though popular consensus dictates that I should. As flawed and not good as the first movie as they are, they still had their own awesome moments that made them fun, worthwhile watches. Having said all that—Jurassic World puts the previous two sequels to shame, and there’s no doubt in my mind that this is the worthy sequel to the classic original that most fans had waited for. Michael Giachinno’s score is magnificent, the writing is solid, the pacing is nearly perfect, the acting is great, the dinosaurs are as gorgeous as ever, the climax takes the word “kickass” and cranks it to 11—there is just too many noteworthy things of what this movie got right. I’m even so far as conflicted as deciding whether this movie is possibly even better than the first movie, but I’ll need more time before figuring that out.

This is Mad Max for the new era.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Mad Max series is finally enjoying a long awaited (30 years!) return to form (or is it?). Fury Road brings our titular hero back into the spotlight where he deserves to be. This time around Mel Gibson has been replaced with fan favorite actor Tom Hardy (Inception, Warrior, The Dark Knight Rises). Not only was Hardy a perfect cast from the aesthetic standpoint (looks very much like a younger Mel Gibson in the movie) but the way he plays the character makes it feel like he's been doing it forever.

Flawed but not doomed. You be the judge
on February 6, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you haven't seen the film yet, you're still probably aware of the polarized reception it received. Some love it, some hate it. Instead of giving you another opinion on why it's the best/worst film ever, let me tell you what to expect. PROMETHEUS is not a horror film. Certainly it has structural similarities to ALIEN, and there is one scene that I would consider very "stressful." But overall, the film is what I would classify as a "concept drama." That is, a drama that doesn't focus on characters, but rather on concept. Don't let any of the tense trailers fool you, this movie was meant as a discussion piece, not an adrenaline rush. You can decide whether it succeeds or fails when you watch it yourself.

![X-Men: Days of Future Past [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray] [2014]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5834/5834015_sa.jpg)

X-Men fans can be a prickly lot and over the last 14 years since Bryan Singer's first movie, they have run hot and cold on the films, mostly loving the first two, intensely disliking LAST STAND and splitting the difference on FIRST CLASS and the two WOLVERINE movies. Singer's latest effort, X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, may well be the best of the lot and a film that even the most particular of fans will find hard to totally dislike.

"Interstellar" is a movie about a lot of different things: Exploring the cosmos, family, future stability of planet Earth, time-travel, and science ethics in general. Perhaps most importantly, though, "Interstellar" is about something much more important that hasn't been listed yet: the depth of the human spirit.

This is probably a 2.5 star product, but I always round up.
Pros: It looks good. Easy to install. Not too expensive.
Cons: It's a little thin and almost feels flimsy. The magnet started losing is grip after a week. It's not that it's becoming detached. More like I have to tighten it numerous times throughout the day.

Designed specifically for iPad Air 2, this Smart Case provides an elegant aniline-dyed leather covering, protecting the back as well as the screen. Yet it maintains the thin and light design of iPad Air 2. It folds easily into a stand for reading, typing, and watching videos. And it automatically wakes up and sleeps iPad on open and close. It's available in five rich colors, including (PRODUCT)RED**A portion of the proceeds from every (PRODUCT)RED purchase will go to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS in Africa.

If I could, I would add an extra half star so that it would rate 4-½. So I tried cheaping out and buying a few $10 cases but all had flaws. I decided I was going to pony up the dough and buy this. I am so happy I did. It's nice and thin, very light weight, soft to the touch and very stylish. Only reason I don't have this 5 stars is because $80 for a case is still hard to swallow. It is worth the money though.

It's a great phone for the price and value

While this phone isn't an iPhone or Galaxy, it's a great phone for the price and value. The screen is large and crystal clear. It's as fast as my wife's Galaxy S5. The camera is decent. It has everything you would want out of a phone for an excellent price. I paid $15 for the phone and the service is $45 a month. I'll never go back to a contract.
