watch for the eye candy
on May 4, 2013

Verified Purchase:Yes
When I say eye candy, I'm not referring to the actors specifically - I'm referring to the colors and 3D effects.If you're expecting good acting, a great plot, etc. then find another movie to watch. This one doesn't have it. What it does have - and is worth buying for - is visual appeal. It excels in the 3D arena (although bordering on gimmicky at times) and the colors are bright and vivid. This movie is a visual treat!
My Best Buy number: 1005764553
What's great about it: great colors, great 3D effect, visually excellent
What's not so great: acting and storyline are average at best

Entertaining, but not Memorable
on November 11, 2010

The plot itself isn't anything incredible - it simply fills in the holes of "Wolverine" - most fans of the X-Men movies will appreciate this movie and the added knowledge it gives them of the character, but will not love it. The acting is pretty well done, and the filming was done very well - surround on this film was very well done and watching in Blu-Ray leaves you immersed in the action, marveling at the clarity of the picture. It's worth watching at least a few times. Watch it with the expectation of enjoying a movie that you will never add to your top-10 list, and you won't be disappointed.

What an encore!

This is the same Toy Story my siblings loved growing up, and my own kids now absolutely love this latest movie. The characters remain fresh and fun - nothing about this movie seems "recycled" and the plot is anything but old. The movie does a remarkable job of raising emotions and making you feel what every character must be experiencing. This movie is a must-see for young and old alike.

Fantastic Movie!
on November 11, 2010
Posted by: cubateve

My children loved this movie, and it kept my wife and I thoroughly entertained as well. Often animated movies are extremely bright in color and mood - this had a good balance with darker, more realistic colors. Voice acting was superb, and matched the animation very well. DVD extras included a short movie which was very well put together. I have not yet had a chance to watch the other extras - every time I pull the movie out to watch it, my kids beg to see the entire movie again!

Make up to 12 pancakes or slices of French toast with this large nonstick griddle that features cool touch handles for safe carrying while the griddle is hot. The tilting design easily drains excess runoff from meat.

Great Griddle
on October 8, 2010
Posted by: cubateve
from Salt Lake
I purchased this with a group at work to use for making breakfasts, and we all love it. It heats up quickly, is easy to use and clean, and cooks fairly well - the very center and outer inch do not cook as fast, but this is to be expected from a griddle. I liked it so much I went and bought a second one to use at home. We selected this one for the size, and it has not disappointed. To give you an idea, we cook 9-12 slices of french toast (depending upon the size of bread) at a time. We have yet to find something that it can't cook. The tilt for cooking things like bacon works effectively, and the tray is easy to clean out. My only real complaint would be the catch "trough" that lines the front of the griddle and drains into the tray can be difficult to clean, as the front lip cannot be removed.
What's great about it: good price, large size, easy to clean, heats quickly, cooks effectively
What's not so great: catch "trough" in front is difficult to clean, outer inch and center do not cook as quickly

Great Product
on September 30, 2010
Posted by: cubateve
from Salt Lake
The product works extremely well and is capable of a lot more than being a basic remote start. The problem is this: achieving that full functionality requires extra parts and fees, and can become more expensive than it's worth. For the basic features, this product is well worth the price. I use it every day, and the battery has lasted 9 months. The remote has a lot of built in functionality such as telling you the car temperature (in 25 degree increments, if I remember correctly), but learning them all can be complicated. I don't use mine for anything but starting the car 10 minutes before I get in it, and am happy with it doing just that.
Pros: good signal range, long lasting battery life (9 months of daily use), indicator lights are extremely useful
Cons: price adds up to get all the features, full functionality of the remote is complicated
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Surrounds, Poor Center Channel
on September 30, 2010
Posted by: cubateve
from Salt Lake
Our old cheap speakers were struggling to pick up dialgoue, and ambient surround sounds were drowning it out. We decided to upgrade the speaker system a step at a time, and this was recommended to us - we got both a right and left (front) instead of a mid, as we were told this would fix the problem. The sound was better, cleaner and crisper sounding - but we were still short the mids for the dialogue, and had to return these to get a center channel. If I were to use these for surrounds, I would buy them again - but they absolutely will not replace a quality center channel speaker.
What's great about it: great for surround sound - good crisp, clear sound
What's not so great: suffers on mids (when attached to surround ports) so dialogue is not emphasized clearly
Pros: good crisp sound
Cons: does not bring out dialogue

I listed a couple cons - it's not perfect. The water supply is quickly used up, and it doesn't heat up the water... but for the price, you expect a couple shortcomings. I put in hot water, so I don't need the vacuum to heat it, and it's quick and easy to prepare more solution, so I don't mind if it runs out quickly. The vacuum itself works well at picking up dirt - I keep my carpets pretty clean, but this has always managed to pick up large amounts of dirt and the water testifies to the fact that it does its job. One of the nicest things about the vacuum is how well the water suction does - the carpets are nearly dry when done, and a couple hours with a fan blowing on them will finish drying them.
What's great about it: separate water compartments, easy to prepare/use/clean, pulls up dirt easily/effectively
What's not so great: limited water supply, does not heat the water itself, struggles if pet-hair is present
Pros: separate water compartments, easy to prepare use clean, does it's job - pulls up ground-in dirt
Cons: limited water supply, does not really heat water, can clog if pet hair not sufficiently vacuumed

Good Performance for the Price
on September 30, 2010
Posted by: cubateve
from Salt Lake
I purchased this to use to cut our families hair - mine and my two boys. One of my kids has extremely thick hair that has posed problems with the previous two shavers we have tried. This shaver handled his hair effortlessly. The main problem is that when cutting moderate to large amounts/lengths of hair, it gets caught in the attached comb and you have to stop and clean it out or cutting performance suffers. If you have shorter or thinner hair to cut, this will not be a problem. It's not perfect, but for the low-end of the price range, it's not realistic to expect it to be. I still recommend this because it is the best we have tried at this price point.
What's great about it: good power - cuts through thick hair effortlessly, length locks in place when turned on
What's not so great: battery life is only 45 minutes, hair gets caught in combs
Pros: good power - doesn't snag on thick hair, length setting locks when turned on
Cons: hair gets caught in the attached comb piece

Great Show
on September 24, 2010
Posted by: cubateve
from Salt Lake
The medical cases and the show remain as good as ever. The audio for the intro music sounds better on blu ray. The picture is a bit clearer than the DVD, but not a huge difference. For the price difference, blu ray is worth it but barely. I have not looked at any of the DVD extras.
The case itself was a bit tricky to get used to and I scratched a disc before I got it figured out. If you buy this, here's your tip: Push the disc down in the case, then pull it straight out from the top. To replace the disc, to this in reverse. (When you look at the case and how it holds the disc in place, it'll make sense).
What's great about it: same great show, improved picture/audio on Blu-Ray (but not by much)
What's not so great: disc case is a pain to remove/replace discs
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Show... Bad Blu-Ray
By Avallon from NJ
The video skips... the audio is just fine. This happened on two copies of this blu-ray. Tested the player with shutter island afterward and it ran just fine.
Returning it tomorrow, much to my chagrin.

Blu Ray or Blu Ray Player?
September 17, 2010
I suspect the problem may actually be your Blu-Ray Player.... some have issues with different movies. I have one of the original players, and it is starting to have some issues where audio skips out, or even trouble reading brand new discs. Newer players shouldn't have that problem, but I have seen reports of some mid- to low-level players struggling with certain discs. It's worth looking into. Generally if a Blu Ray disc is going to be released, it will be problem free. It's tougher to develop a player that will seamlessly play any content thrown at it.
