I loved this movie. Finally a totally scary haunting ghost story not clouded with a dumb story, bad acting and too much cgi. This movie is scary and very well made. A must see.

I was so excited to finally get my new Fitbit Flex. I set it up and charged the device and proudly wore it the next morning.
First thing I noticed it was terribly inaccurate with step counting. Somehow it logged a few hundred steps when I was driving. Second I noticed when I was walking while pushing my daughters stroller it wasn't logging anything. Also the calorie calculation is way off. It said I burned about 158 calories the first 5 minutes I was wearing it.
It's basically a laughable device that is beyond useless. It's supposed to track data that pushes you towards a specific fitness goal yet all the data is inaccurate. So why bother? Already returned mine.
The ground shakes with rumbles from an explosion down the street. You hear disembodied shouts from your teammates. Bullets whiz by your helmet and explode on the wall behind you, sending chunks of concrete and rubble flying through the air. You're focused on your mission, but time seems to stop for a moment as you feel your weapon in your hand. Another bullet bursts against the wall, this time closer — and louder.

The graphics are over hyped. There are tons of poppy graphics and screen tears. The story stinks. The bugs are a plenty. Some checkpoints wouldnt even register. Had to restart the mission. There are almost no opportunities to battle in single player. It just seems like you are following these morons the whole time. The multiplayer is confusing and low grade. I will say the sound in this game is the best I have ever heard. But after that youre left with a pile of garbage.

Out of the box this camera is shooting pictures 30 times better than my Powershot is30. I am blown away with the shots I'm getting. I am a total know nothing too with cameras. This is my first DSLR. I plan on learning everything about this camera and how to take better pictures. It's inspiring almost. I had the camera for 24 hours and I am already floored.
What's great about it: Powerful camera, feature rich, professional feel and quality.
What's not so great: Do not buy if you aren't willing to teach yourself how to use it.
SynopsisAfter being entrusted with a F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) squad to stop a secret battalion of telepathically controlled supersoldiers, powerful telepath and genetically enhanced supersoldier Point Man thought he had to take the soldiers out through one lone commander. Much to Point Man's surprise, he learned during the mission that the commander was not working alone. The very people Point Man was commissioned to destroy were his telepathic, cannibalistic brother, Paxton Fettel, and his psychically gifted, psychotic mother Alma Wade, both super-enhanced by perverse paranormal experiments. Despite the pull of blood ties, Point Man and the F.E.A.R. team set off a destructive series of events that seemed to accomplish their goal of eliminating Alma and Paxton — at great cost to the city, its inhabitants and most of Point Man's squadmates. It is now evident that Alma's psychic influence has survived: she's pregnant with a new demon spawn and her paranormal power is growing as she attempts to ensure the survival of her twisted bloodline and reunite her family. Armacham research facility's security force remains violently focused on eliminating all evidence of the events in the city, and the remaining F.E.A.R. squad carries on the mission to stop Alma. Can Point Man actually win this fight — a fight against his own blood — or will he succumb to the twisted evil growing in a being he finds hard to call mother?F.E.A.R. 3 reaches new levels of terror with a chill-inducing script written by Steve Niles and cinematics developed with horror genius John Carpenter. This latest installment of the F.E.A.R. series incorporates characters and plotlines familiar to fans while adding fresh horror experiences and terrifying twists. Play in single player or co-op modes as Point Man, a genetically enhanced supersoldier, or play cooperatively as his conniving brother Paxton Fettel, whose incredible telekinetic power has given him life beyond the grave. Experience the thrill of divergent co-op play, which offers players distinctly different abilities affecting their own play as well as the experience of their co-op partner. The first-person shooter perspective and compelling narrative draw you into the plot and keep you enthralled as you experiment with the brothers' different abilities, advantages and improved cover system. Explore the world as either brother; just remember, some ties are hard to break. Will you make the right choice?

What a horrible waste of a good idea. This game could have been great but it was plagued with muddy and faded graphics, horrible physics, bad AI and the worst grenade and gunfire effects I have ever seen. At the end of the game I felt like I totally wasted my time. I would have rather played a PS2 game instead. Trading it in and writing off this series. For a real gamer there are too many great games out to bother with this atrocity.
What's great about it: Failed execution of a great idea.
What's not so great: Everything. Total Wate of time.
If you thought the nightmare was over, think again. The madness of isolation and the reality at hand are one and the same as engineer Isaac Clarke returns for another blood-curdling adventure in the sequel to the critically acclaimed Dead Space. The terror of being hunted by the government and haunted by a dead lover merge into a single, cohesive paralyzing emotion — but you have to persevere despite the creeping paranoia of dementia and the grotesquery slouching within every shadow. The Necromorphs are ripping the massive city to pieces and if you're going to survive "The Sprawl", you'll have to get desperate in order to last in Dead Space 2.Isaac Clarke isn't free of the terror of his situation, but don't worry — it's about to get worse. You'll have to seize opportunity by the throat if you're going to survive being hunted by the government and withstand visions of a dead girlfriend. Equip yourself with the tools to decimate and eviscerate the horrors surrounding you, like improved telekinesis, trip mines or even hull breaches to suck those things back into the dead of space where they belong. It won't be a walk in the park, though. In fact, you'll experience "The Sprawl" like never before in zero gravity with full 360° movement, destroying creatures in new weightless combat and unique, physics-based puzzles. Don't fret, you can share the loneliness of space — and the Necromorphs — with friends online in skirmishes to see if anyone really can hear you scream in space.

How in the world did they manage to top the first Dead Space? Well who knows but they did. From the very first second you start playing the tension and fear is clawing into you. Not to mention the graphics and the sound are stellar. The surround sound is terrifying at times. They really make great use of it. The game gets pretty hard at the end. It's almost at the point of too hard but with the right strategy it's not impossible. The story is astounding and there needs to be a movie made for this. I had high expectations and as a Dead Space fan I am very pleased.
What's great about it: Everything you want in Dead Space and More.
What's not so great: Surround sound is too scary at times.

Man they really screwed this game up. It's so slame it's laughable at times. It plays like a cheap beta version of the first one. I don't know how the heck they went backwards with the graphics, sound and gameplay?!?!?!?!? Anyway if you haven't played the first one then get that one. This one is garbage.
What's great about it: If you own the first one then nothing.

This movie is one of my all time favorite horror movies. From start to finish you will be very uneasy and feel on edge. If you have a fear of tight places the cave entry scenes will keep you up at night alone. This movie was perfectly made and deserves tons of respect from all horror fans. 3 tips for watching this movie.
1. Try to have all the lights out. 2. If you can watch with surround sound then do it. 3. The less you know about the movie the better.
Artisan's DVD of The Blair Witch Project is a Dolby 2.0, full-screen 1.33:1 presentation. What would one expect from a movie famous for shaky camerawork? Predictably, plenty of the special features explore the made-up mythology of the film. The best of these is "Curse of the Blair Witch," the 45-minute "documentary" originally aired on cable TV to hype the film. The fascinating commentary and production notes step out of the "documentary" conceit to explain the nuts and bolts of the filmmaking. Two things were frustrating about the commentary by directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez: discussion of deleted scenes that the filmmakers hoped to see "end up somewhere" (they didn't), and references to specific dialogue that the viewer can't hear over the commentary (the directors may have the movie memorized, but most of us don't). Beyond those two problems, the commentary is a great window into the movie-making process, including the techniques used to make the actors almost as hungry and scared as their characters. To find some semi-hidden features, select "Special Features," arrow down to the stick figure symbol, and press enter. Ignore the ad for Stephen King's The Stand and watch the trailers for Blair Witch instead.

This movie is a classic. A lot of people hate on this movie. However it's a movie where you have to let your imagination go free. It truly is a scary situation and the concept is simple and downright frightening. Watching it in my home theater was terrifying during the tent scenes. Also the suspense by the end is very heavy. I have always loved this movie and always will.
What's great about it: Film style.
What's not so great: Many people may not "get it".
