An affordable UV filter
on April 9, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Like many people I bought this to protect the front element of one of my lenses. It was quite affordable and I haven't noticed any aberrations in my photos, so it'll do.

A fair entry level Android Wear smart watch
on April 9, 2016
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this as a cheap entry into the smart watch fad. I wound up exchanging it for a 2nd Gen Moto 360. The Android Wear OS convinced me that a smart watch could be a useful gadget, but this watch was a little too cheap looking. It has a "genuine leather" band, but it was as stiff as a piece of worn shoe leather. What did it for me, though, was the huge bezel. It's deceiving in that you think the display is going to be nice and large, but it's actually quite small because of the bezel. Still if you're looking for a really affordable smart watch and don't mind the down market look of the device it could be a reasonable option for you.

Scary movie for older viewers

This movie was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting something along the lines of Scooby Doo, but it was actually quite suspenseful and scary. Parent might want to preview before showing to younger viewers.

High quality, affordable L glass
on April 9, 2016
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
I read a number of reviews here before deciding to purchase this lens. Everything others have said about it are true. Its construction and image quality are top notch. I like that it doesn't extend and the front element doesn't rotate. On the downside, it's also true what others said about needing A LOT of light. I took it to the beach to photograph my son SUPing and I noticed that as the sun went down, so did the quality of my pics. A final word - shooting without IS is much more difficult than I imagined. Make sure your hands are stead enough for the task and/or that you can use a tri/mono-pod in your shooting situation.

Not worth it
on October 25, 2015
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
The packaging and description leads you to believe that there's a hidden subplot in the Rogue Cut. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but if you've already seen the movie or own the regular version of the movie, you're not missing anything.

A surprisingly good movie
on October 25, 2015
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie was surprisingly good. It was a campy take on the classic spy vs spy movies. Samuel Jackson's performance was particularly notable as his character was unlike any others he's played in recent memory. Be warned, though, it is very violent.

An worthwhile companion to the video game

I purchased this guide because my child was having trouble finishing a certain level in the game. After reading the appropriate section in the guide he was able to complete it. Furthermore, the guide helped him find the special objects that were hidden throughout the game.

Good but not great
on August 8, 2015
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
When I bought this, the larger one with the hose and large reservoir was on sale, so they were the same price. I chose this one because I thought it would be easier to use because of it's size. Also, I thought I'd also possibly travel with it. If I had to do it all over, I'd go ahead and get the larger one. I have smallish hands and this turned out to be larger than I thought it would be, so I think it's less maneuverable than just having the tip and hose in your mouth. Also, unless you're really dedicated, it's not so small that you'd want to pack it on a trip. Furthermore, the reservoir doesn't hold enough fluid to make more than 1 pass, so for thoroughly cleanings, you'll need to refill. Finally, there's only 2 settings, whereas the other has 10. Once you get used to the lo setting, the hi doesn't feel much different.

I would give it zero stars if I could

I've been a fan of Ryan Reynolds since Blade, but let's face it . . . he hasn't had a good action movie since then. This one was particularly terrible. It's no better than a low budget made-for-TV movie. If there was a blizzard outside and I was trapped indoors for a few days and this movie was my only form of entertainment . . . . I'd clean the oven instead of watching it again. Here's to hoping that Deadpool is decent.
