Upgrade your standard Lightning cable to this ultra-rugged nylon braid Lightning cable. The reinforced housing, ballistic nylon inner cord wrap and PVC jacket mean it can withstand a variety of scenarios, whether it's travelling with you to the furthest-flung reaches of the world or you simply place this ultra-rugged nylon braid Lightning cable on your desk.

I'm rough on my cables. This Nomad cable is exceedingly durable. It's a little longer than the standard one from Apple® and at the same price point they charge for a replacement, you can't go wrong with this one. I bought a second one I really didn't need just because the standard cable from Apple® feels so cheap and flimsy now.

You're here for one reason: zombies.

Why are you even here? It's a zombie movie. You know if you want to watch it already. It's a fun zombie movie. It's actually along the better end of the zombie movie spectrum. Recommended!

Pretty good action show.

There's an economy to the action that lends itself well to the multi-episode arcs established in the first season. It doesn't fall into the trap of ”24” where the story is stretched to the point of restless boredom. If you were a fan of "The Unit" then this show is for you.

Not bad but not great.

The movie could have been about 15 minutes shorter. It also could have accepted as a given that the audience would be ahead of the plot and thus had some fun with perceptions and expectation.
Ford and Oldman are wonderful as is to be expected.
Could have been better but is worth a watch.

Low budget. Big fun.

Greg Grunberg and Lombardo Boyar are perfect in this movie. Their off-screen friendship serves to enhance the on-screen banter. This movie is fun all the way through. It's not one of those "so bad it's good" low budget train wrecks. It's actually a good movie.

Not a particularly bad product. It just doesn't feel as good as the one for the regular iPad. It's like Apple just shrunk the one for the iPad instead of using a new design more properly suited for the smaller device.

iPad® mini 2 has a stunning 7.9-inch Retina display with over 3.1 million pixels. It also comes with the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, ultrafast wireless, iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life.1 Yet it still fits easily in one hand.

Great upgrade from 3rd Generation iPad. Weight and footprint reduction over previous model is a noticeable improvement. Though the aluminum back isn't as sturdy as it was on the previous model. Sound is much improved as well.

Nice bit of Kung Fu fantasy

Good Kung Fu fantasy film. The movie has some really nice visuals. The story is pretty standard and not at all innovative but enjoyable nonetheless.

Sorry to offend.
June 14, 2013
Sorry I offended you, but South Korea has a rich history of Kung Fu tradition. I refuse to refer to these types of films as "Wire Fu" (if that would better suit you) because I feel that term diminishes the artistic choreography and tremendous effort of the teams involved in these onscreen miracles.
It wouldn't matter if it was filmed in the Sahara by a team of Inuits, it would still be a Kung Fu film.
