If you want to watch a murder mystery who done it thriller with some skin, you have found your pleasure. First off you get Matt dillon and kevin bacon good actors. then you get Denise richards in her prime! the uncut unrated version is a can't miss and this one needs to be in your Blu Ray library for sure! The plot is believable and the triangle of deception is amazing right down to the end..oh my. also some of the story leaves you to guess on some possible relationships...things that make u go mmmmm. This movie is Hot like where it was shot! You can't go wrong with this movie! Watch out who you trust because it can come back and bite ya that is how you felt when you watched this movie!
What's great about it: Unrated cut of Denise Richards and her friend
What's not so great: None

A MUST BUY! Superman II in blu ray against the 3 WOW brought back memories when I was kid and saw this movie. Big fan of Christopher reeves, there will not be another person who can play this role of Superman ever! You can't replace C. Reeves. richard donners cut should of kept some of the original though really some of the old footage and new footage they could of combined! like supermans flypaper scene that wraps up one of the three, and the famous hide and seek scene! It would of made the movie AWESOME! with both old and new footage combined togethers because both cuts were good! Really you can't go wrong with this movie. It it what it is SuperMan on Blu ray NICE! Truly a Classic! go out and buy it and remember the REAL Superman days!
What's great about it: Christopher reeve we miss you!
What's not so great: picture clear blu ray style but sometimes grainy!

Ok purchase, thinking twice
on October 6, 2008

from Portland, Or
I like this movie it was okay, to have sharon stone a little older on your set is a pleasure, but the storyline needed to be better thought out! This was farfetched story line. though it resembled the love triangle a little bit like the first. Movie can become pretty violent. The first Basic instinct should of been really the only. No sequel was needed..better yet they should of made a prequel instead of the sequel...more of a story of how she became what she is! You can pass on this Dvd really, but if your a sharon stone fan and want too see skin, this movie is for you!
What's great about it: Sharon Stone wow!
What's not so great: ok sequel, plot could of been better

I liked this movie, a good buy, if you like women dancing on the bar and gettin down! The storyline is decent. would have liked to know about the other girls lives too! what were their struggles. it just focused on one women and her guy friend and their struggle, this movie could of incorporated the struggles and adversity of the other coyote ugly women in this story. Great Love scene. wish more skin though! give me more realism!
What's great about it: Hot Women

Transformers Finally in Blu-Ray
on October 3, 2008
Posted by: koolcat
from Portland, Or
I have to say this movie Rocks! Transformers finally in Blu ray this is a must buy...this movie from the robots transforming to the special effects and actions scenes you just have to stare at the screen and jaw drop at how they made these robots transform and fight way cool. the Blu ray is too cool, you get a treat in hi-def. The story line was decent. though to me leaves room for a prequel with this movie because a lot is lost to more of how they got to earth, there is a lot to me that is missing... this movie is for Transformers fans alike. especially comparing to the Cartoon movie of the 80's its nice that finally producers took seriously making this a true sci fi movie with all original characters. This is a must buy!!!! GO GET YOUR FIX! ROBOTS TRANSFORM
What's great about it: Special effects, Action packed ooohh the Robots!
What's not so great: Didn't get into more of the history of Transformers

BEST CONTROLLER PERIOD!!!
on September 10, 2008
Posted by: koolcat
from Portland, Or
This is a great controller. much improvement on the PS3 with sixaxis and rumble you can't go wrong with this controller for games or even the blu ray feature. the dual sticks are looser but stiff good feel. the R buttons seem more ergonomic on the hands for triggering and combo moves. of course the blue tooth feature rocks you can finally play without a cord THANK YOU!!!!!
the charge time is not bad and length of use with full charge is really good! hands down best controller out on the market and for your PS3 pretty spendy and not enough colors or see thru controller to give variety but that is just being picky bottom line for price....sixaxis + bluetooth technology + rumble= fun over and over!!!! A MUST BUY!! and by the way you will NEED TWO!!!!
What's great about it: RESPONSIVE, NICE IN YOUR PALMS AND FINGERS
What's not so great: color assortments

from Portland, Or
This is a great game and a must buy period hands down!!! you jump right in as darth vader against wookies!!!I played the demo on the playstation network and cannot stop playing. Can't wait for the full version of this game. I got to see a walkthru of this game and this game is amazing. best Star wars game to date so far. this game continues the story line between episode 3 to then Star wars a new hope. the combos used of a jedi is awesome you can pick up jawas and kick them. use your lightsaber to the full capability of the jedi force. I will pick up this game.. the only thing will be I might have to get for ps3 and psp being the ps3 will not have multiplayer mode and a chance to play reinactments of lightsaber duels. example luke vs darth or other lightsaber duels ben kenobi vs darth etc.
What's great about it: gameplay, combos, graphics and storyline

Can I run Apple TV through my dvd player HDMI port?

My HDTV does not have a HDMI port, but my DVD player does. Can i run the Apple TV hdmi cable directly into my DVD player hdmi port? My DVD player is connected to my TV with standard red/white/yellow plugs.

I assume apple TV would run fine this way though my DVD player, right?
NO, has to be a hdmi on the TV, for Apple TV to work the best.

I have been to two Best Buy stores in the last week and tried to order it online, but I can't do it. What is the scoop Best Buy?

I know the product is available from Apple, why isn't it available in any of your stores or on your website? This is really frustrating
honestly if you want it really bad, go to apple store. but if you can be patient and just keep calling best buy and see if they have in. just be patient if you can. you like Apple Tv when you get, I know the apple store has plenty. the future of apple TV will improve.

Will this work from my PC to TV with just regular Hulu (free shows)?

I use Hulu to catch shows my recorder messed up on or a local news bulliten interrupted but it is the items that are free. also from the major networks (ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS). If I pull up the show on my computer will it go to my wireless Vizio so the whole family can watch it on the TV even though it is playing on the computer?

Thank you in advance for your input,
Cindy
I don't think it will do from your PC to apple TV, you should just hook up a netbook or laptop to hulu then have it go thru your vizio...right now hulu thru other media devices has control, they want the consumer to pay for there service, but on the internet on your PC you can stream content.

stop/pause

APPPLETV/VERIZON DSL...CONNECTION.
NETFLIX MOVIE WATCHING I GET FREQUENT STOPS/PAUSE DURING SHOWING OF
MOVIES...PICTURE IS GREAT AS IS SOUND.
ANY TIPS....VERIZON NO HELP.
THANKS.
it could be verizon connection, I have comcast, also look where your apple TV is placed is it close to the router? also are there any other devices that could interfere with the connection. That will be your troubleshooting you would need to do. Mine paused a couple times with Comcast, understand that APPle TV this model has no on board memory but can do updates from Apple, so improve it will. be patient.

When will this again become available in-store or for direct shipping?

I have been trying to buy this from Best Buy for the past week, but it is not available in-store or by shipping. When will this again become available? It would be nice to be able to put this on back-order, so it would ship when it becomes available.
they should be in, but will sell out fast. call your local best buy or order online/ or just get it at apple store if you want really bad.

My son wants to have internet connection for our Playstation 3 console. What additional equipment/ stuff do I need to buy for this hook up capability

You will have to have an internet provider plain and simple, once you have this provider ie: comcast, Qwest, fios etc. Now you can connect wirelessly thru that modem by setting up thru your PS3 or by ethernet cable.
