Better than the last 2 films

Way better than the last 2 Saw films, this one actually kept me from just fast forwarding to the "game" scenes. Of course, it is Saw, and its pretty cheesey, but for a blood and guts movie....I thought it was pretty good.
What's great about it: Its SAW baby!!!

Great looking movie on Blu Ray. Far better than Terminator 3. Fans of the franchise should be happy with this one but sadly (and hopefully), it should end here.
What's great about it: Better than 3, tons of extras

Far better than expected
on January 31, 2010
Posted by: CBar72
from Detroit
This game is packed with play! Hundreds of unlockables, all 6 Star Wars movies are playable, cute story line using the Lego people, and fairly easy control make this game a winner...especially with kids. If your kids like Star Wars, this will keep them busy for quite a while.
What's great about it: Tons of unlockables, length and content is heavy

What a waste

Poor graphics, choppy game play, and extremley annoying "talking" make this game more of a chore to play than actually enjoy. Stay away.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not the best Bruce Willis movie
on January 27, 2010
Posted by: CBar72
from Detroit
If your a fan of Bruce Willis like I am, be prepared for a let down. I love sci-fi but this goes far beyond what would be even remotely considered "cool". Bad plot, poor acting, and mediocre special effects kill this movie.
What's not so great: Just plain silly (even for sci fi).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not as funny as I thought it would be
on January 27, 2010
Posted by: CBar72
from Detroit
After all the publicity this film got, I thought it was going to be a "roll on the ground" funny movie. To be honest, it WAS funny but certainly not in a catagory of a great comedy. The extras on the blu ray were far funnier than the film.

Brace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.

Good clean fun

My family has a great time playing this game. The game is easy and has lots of different characters, worlds, and vehicles to unlock. Playing with the wheel is nice but not mandatory...it works fine without it.
What's great about it: Easy to play, lots to unlock.

Experience the side-scrolling fun of Super Mario Bros. in a new way: in the company of your friends. New Super Mario Bros. Wii provides exciting new multiplayer action that lets you play cooperatively and competitively with up to three other players. Roam through the exciting and challenging side-scrolling worlds solo-style, as in previous versions of the game, or gather a group of friends or family to combine your talents in a fast-paced free-for-all.Play as Mario, Luigi or one of two Toads, and encounter other fun characters from throughout the Mushroom Kingdom as you make your way through the game. Lend a hand to your fellow players to help save them from danger, or push them in the path of it to clear your own way to victory. Make use of the motion-sensing capabilities of your Wii Remote to employ fun tools, including seesaws and the exciting new propeller suit, which shoots you high into the sky. Ride atop various Yoshi characters, and use their tongues to your advantage, whether swallowing enemies or fellow players.

Kinda takes me back to old school Nintendo. My kids love it. Not too hard to play does have a few interesting and challenging levels. Multi player is a great addition. Long live Mario!

Easily set up with my Netgear router/network. I'm not the most technical person but setting up my kids computer to our wireless network and printer was easy as pie. Follow the directions and you'll have no problems.
What's great about it: Easy set up, works flawless

Keep your Samsung Galaxy S III cell phone powered on the go with this mophie juice pack air 39225BBR case that features a 2300 mAh battery that recharges your encased phone in as little as 1-1/2 hours. Metal and rubberized materials offer durability.
Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Mophie for Samsung Galaxy S3
By mttnflnr
from Omaha, NE
The Mophie is a case for smartphones that contains a separate, additional battery. When the switch on the Mophie is turned on, it charges your phone as if it was plugged into a charger. The Mophie is charged using the same Micro USB cable as the Galaxy S3, and both it and the phone can be charged while the case is on the phone or separately. You can also still use data interaction with your computer while the case is on and plugged in.
I bought the black Mophie instead of the white one as the white one seemed to be made of the same material as the Galaxy S3 itself, so I expected it to be a bit slick. The black Mophie is smooth but with just a hint of friction so it's not in danger of slipping out of your hand easily.
It's easy to take apart the Mophie to slide the Galaxy S3 in, and the phone fits snug once the case is closed. You do NOT take the back cover off the Galaxy S3 so you don't need to worry about misplacing it, and you can easily take the Galaxy S3 out and use it normally by itself whenever you feel like it. The volume and lock buttons are just barely rattly, and make it a tiny bit harder to press the buttons. The bottom of the Mophie has an abrupt edge that is just a tad sharp, and can cause some discomfort if it rests on your fingers for a while (due to the weight of the device).
I wouldn't say the device doesn't store quite as much charge as I'd like, since everyone would like a device that could store an infinite amount of charge. Therefore, I would say that the Mophie doesn't store quite as much charge as I expected. I would guess that it stores about 2/3 to 3/4 the amount of charge that a Galaxy S3 battery holds. Even so, this provides a great convenience for Galaxy S3 users.
A series of 4 LED lights on the back of the case temporarily indicate how much charge the device currently has when a button is pressed. The case does not block the camera, flash, or speaker on the rear of the Galaxy S3.
The Mophie does add bulk to the Galaxy S3 since it contains a battery, but since the Galaxy S3 is so thin, this doesn't make the case all that much bigger. I can still easily fit it into pockets on my various pairs of pants. One thing to note is that the case is a bit bulky around the headphone jack and the charging port. Certain cables that have thick plugs may have trouble connecting to the phone's headphone jack through the hole in the Mophie or to the Mophie's Micro USB charging port.
In conclusion, the Mophie is a good buy for the convenience of having extra power for your Galaxy S3 at your fingertips. I cannot vouch for the durability of the case or the amount of protection, as I haven't dropped my device. I recommend buying it from Best Buy, testing it for a few days, and returning it if it proves to be too bulky for your cords or liking.

Get your facts straight...
May 22, 2013
Your comment about the mophie battery being smaller and not holding as much of a charge than the standard S3 battery is wrong. The mophie battery is 2300 mAh. The standard S3 battery is 2100 mAh.

I want to buy a refrigerator for use in my garage, how would I go about selecting a model? Can I get a stimulus rebate for a garage fridge? Thanks!
Buy a cheap fridge for the garage. If your garage sees the action mine sees (buddies, kids with bikes, etc.), its gonna take a little abuse. Buy a unit that your not gonna mind if it gets a little dinged up here and there. Also, I live in Detroit so our weather is pretty much the same...in the winter I turn it off. Its plenty cold to keep everything in the fridge ice cold. If you plan on using a freezer, its kind of a bad situation. In the summer, your freezer will run and run but if your garage is hot like mine, nothing will stay deeply frozen. In the winter, its so cold that the freezer will rarely run. Again, items will be partialy frozen. Hope this helps!
