Good basic phone

A pretty good basic phone for entry level prepaid, including a fairly decent VGA camera and bluetooth. Feels sturdy in the hand, but the phone lacks a few basic customizeable aspects - including being able to customize the menu and center OK keybad to shortcuts of your choosing. But its easy to easy, lightweight, and easy to text on.
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Not as customizable as other phones
Featuring the ability to call friends and send text messages, this environmentally conscious phone uses sustainable materials and an energy efficient charger to provide plenty of fun and entertaining options.

Nice entry level phone

For a standard, low cost, entry level phone, this model packs a punch. Featuring a music player and expandable memory, this green-friendly phone is a great value for the price.
Following in the footsteps of the much more financially successful "Hannah Montana" Concert Experience, the Jonas Brothers' version is more of the same. The standard DVD does not come with a 3-D version (although the blu-ray does), but since 3-D still cannot be accurately duplicated at home, its no big loss. Skimpy extras as well. This will be excellent for fans of the Jonas Brothers, but, obviously, there will be nothing here to convert a non-fan into a fan.
After the disappointing "A New Beginning", the "Friday the 13th" franchise had a "reboot" with "Jason Lives" -- a smart and funny installment. Predating "Scream", this one has self-aware characters and funny in-jokes (note the paintballer's headbands), while always taking the Jason character itself seriously. Not much plot or setup, but one wouldn't expect any out of a sixth entry in a long running series.
The making-of featurette on the disc is great and has on camera interviews with lots of key players and cast - but could be a little longer. The commentary (which is different than the one in the 2004 box set) is fun and informative. Some great deleted scenes will be a delight for fans; however, the rest of the extras on here are not that special.
Definately worth an upgrade if you only have the original movie-only DVD.
This is one of the scariest movies ever made... "End of the Line" is not outwardly scary (although there are some truly horrific moments in it), but it will haunt you long after you have finished watching it - and that is the scariest kind of horror there is.
A religious cult is convinced the rapture is coming soon, and decide to save people for God by murdering them. But that is only the beginning of this truly terrifying story.
Lots of extras on the DVD as well, including the entire haunting soundtrack. But what is lacking is the director commentary. While informative and fun, I wish he would have shared with viewers his meaning behind the chilling ending -- it's one thing to leave a movie up to interpretation, but its another to still leave it danging when fans listening to the commentary want to know more.
Overall, a truly frightening motion picture that has been gravely overlooked.
What's great about it: Story
What's not so great: Commentary leaves a little to be desired

Good basic phone with some surprises

For a basic entry-level prepaid phone, the Samsung Smooth packs a few features that one would not expect. Among the features are bluetooth headset capabilities, VZ Navigator and Mobile Email access without having to access mobile web. Messaging bundles are available for those who like to text and picture message. Sound quality is great but the battery life could be a tad better. Overall, a great phone for the price.
What's great about it: Bluetooth, good sound quality
"The Grudge 3" is simply more of the same... the same scares, the same type of scenes, and the same "what is going on here" characters. Luckily, if you like "The Grudge" series as I do, this won't be that big of a deal for you. The story loses the fractured timeline narrative of the others and is more straightforward in its design. It is also less mundane than "The Grudge 2", and like the rest of them, has a really tightly knit climax.
Recommended for fans of the series, but if you didn't like the other two, this one won't change your mind.
"Friday the 13th: A New Beginning" is the black sheep of the Jason series, and with good reason. Of all of the movies, this one is the worst as far as introducing characters for the sole purpose of quickly killing them off, and when the ending comes around, it makes even less sense other than to up the body count.
The "Deluxe Edition" is a mixed bag. A great featurette on the making of the movies includes interviews with most of the cast, but the commentary leaves something to be desired. While its great to hear star John Sheppard (who once previously refused to acknowledge he was in this movie and is now a born-again), the director sounds likes a dirty old man and rarely talks about anything of substance.
I would only recommend to completists.
What's great about it: New special features
What's not so great: Movie itself is not very good
After Paramount released the first three "Friday the 13th" movies in so-called "deluxe editions" that left much to be desired, they finally got it right with a feature-deep issue of "The Final Chapter". The movie itself is pretty standard fare, although the finale does pack more of a punch that other sequels, but the extras are where its at. Two great and entertaining/informative commentary tracks -- one with the director, and one with fans (horror directors Adam Green and Joe Lynch) -- lots of featurettes and more. Well worth the double (or triple) dip.

Great rendition of the show

This is the second version of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" on the DS, and there has been little to no change in between. Not that its a bad thing, but if you have the other version, there is really no need to upgrade unless you run out of questions. And that is something you will do sooner than later. There are more than 600 questions (as advertised on the package), but spread out between several topics, you will repeat them pretty fast. Other than that, the game is fast moving, and great for a quick time killer. Fans of the show won't be disappointed.
