Se7en. Devil's Advocate. Insomnia. That's all that really needs to be said.
Oh, you want more? OK. These films are the one's that you get in the deluxe editions that have included special features and master video encode presentations that rival Prometheus'. Se7en alone is visually better than Marvel movies being releases right now, and was made nearly 20 years ago. (Little known fact: Brad broke his forearm halfway through production, see if you can tell which scenes his hand turns blue in...) Insomnia, a little known gem from Nolan's earlier years continues to arouse with each viewing even though you know who the killer is at the beginning of the film. And Devil's Advocate, well if there's ever a time to realize Keanu's ability to be a dramatic method actor, it's when he's going toe to toe against heavyweight Al Pacino as an apprentice to the devil conspiring in a seedy court case for a multibillion dollar law firm in none other than the Big $hitty.
I don't know how I lucked out on this set, but I got it in the single digit range during a Best Buy Sunday morning window shop. Except it turned into a quick sale; win-win. Top notch video, excellent audio on all three, added special features (Se7en has Brad, Morgan AND David Fincher's voice over film comments!), and three of the best movies from the 90's to early 2000s.
No Blu-ray cinemaphile's collection is complete without these landmark dark(/comedy) titles in one discreet package.

![Akira [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [1988]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2119/2119035_sa.jpg)

If you have to ask "What's Akira?", you shouldn't be allowed to watch anime. Columns and articles have been written for nearly 25 years over this landmark in animated cinema. It (along with Ghost in the Shell) firmly cemented the industry outside of it's native Japan. Every second of this film has been used in some other series for it's genre and trope defining grace. Cyberpunk should really be called "Akira Style" or "Wannabe Akira".
The picture is as good as Akira will ever be. The movie was re-mastered in 2003 for DVD release , and while it looks glorious, they couldn't eliminate every speck, especially during darker lit sequences. The sound of Akira was the first release of a Dolby Hi-Def media port that utilized the hypersonic effect for both Region A and the Japanese ports, meaning it can deliver notes and sounds not even the human eardrum can register! While it may not be a new 7.1 Dolby Atmos track, it is certainly past the normal Audio 2.0 tracks found on most Japanese dubs to English. As far as extras go, there's an entire extras disc included in the Funimation release, as well as extras on the main presentation Blu-ray including interviews with the director and TV spots. If you didn't pick it up when Pioneer distributed it 4 years ago, GET IT NOW!
No Blu-ray collection is complete without Akira.

The AT&T Prepaid card makes it easy to pay for your services. Add the money to your AT&T Prepaid (formerly GoPhone) account.
I’m lookin to drop my contract w/ a well known company but I need a hotspot on my phone. Does att prepaid provide a hotspot?
They do, it’s extra, and NOT unlimited. That’s where they get you, the same way they had limits on texts and pics back in the early 2000s. (AT&T knows they have to make their money somehow and right now it’s on data caps.)
However, older contracts with AT&T are grandfathered in to allow hotspots with their plans, even if they’re unlimited. The two catches are that they’re 1) obviously grandfather claused and therefor not available for new contracts, and 2) if you change your plan it’s expunged. Getting a new phone that requires a different plan can also void the clause.

On AT&T prepaid card plans, do you have to renew monthly, or do you have at least a 3 month or 6 month card plan?
The balance on the account (attached to the phone’s SIM) has to be correct for whatever “plan” you first selected when you bought the phone, and renews every 30 days. There is no rollover data or balances on these accounts. Every 30 days, the plan renews and the balance deducts the monthly plan’s amount. The prepaid cards however, have 90 days from date of purchase to be added to your phone’s balance.
Even though it’s not a contract phone, you still have to start out with a plan, which reflects how much data the phone is allowed to use and therefor how much you have to have in the phone’s balance.
