A great photo backpack
on August 7, 2015
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
I read many, many reviews of photo backpacks before deciding on this one. The downside of many photo backpacks is that there isn't room for anything else except for camera equipment. I wanted something that could carry my camera equipment, laptop, and some stuff for infligh entertainment. This one has it all. It has a small area at the top for storage and in the back there's an area for a laptop AND tablet. I can definintely see myself traveling with this one and using it daily once I got onsite. The downsides are 1) it's not as rugged as the Maxpedition bags I'm used to using, but they don't make any photo specific gear - yet 2) It's a bit light on organization. I would have liked more pockets and zippered areas 3) Two obvious omissions are the lack of pockets on the bottom front flap and on the (removable) waist strap. Having pockets here would have made the bag much more usable 4) The zippers. They really should have a means of locking them, particularly the one for the laptop/tablet area. There is a fabric loop at the top where the zipper ends, but the zipper it's self doesn't provide a good area for attaching a pad lock.

An irresistable classic
on August 7, 2015
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
This classic is a must have for your movie library. Yes, it often plays for free on TV, but usually with a ton of commercials added in. Being able to enjoy it from start to finish without an additional 30 minutes of commercials makes it worth the cost.

Great scale but pricey
on August 7, 2015
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchsed this scale because I wanted a scale that measured body fat percentage. Yes, it's pricey and you have to be fully commited to the FitBIt ecosystem to reap its benefits, but on the other hand, it is attractive, wireless and quite fast. It calculates weight almost immediately - much faster than my previous weight only digital scale. A few seconds later your body fat percentage will appear and then it will sync wirelessly to your FitBit profile. I agree with other reviewers that setting up the wireless can take more than one try. After working, though, it's pretty much set and forget.

Terrible Movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a fan of both Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart, but this movie was terrible. Wait for it on Netflix.

Possibly the best "end of the world" movie ever
on April 13, 2015
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of the best movies I've watched in a long time. To quote Stephan, this one has it all: an intriguing plot, eye-popping special effects, and two amazing leads actors (McConaughey and Hathaway). Matt Damon's appearance in a small but critical part was the icing on the cake.
I remember when the movie was out in theaters, people were saying that the science behind the science fiction was too difficult to understand and folks should just ignore it and enjoy the ride. I think the key points, have been covered in other science fiction movies - both old and new. If you're a fan of the Next Generation Star Trek series, I think you'll be fine.

Easily One of Brad Pitt's Best Movie

Verified Purchase:Yes
An excellent all around movie. The storyline, subject matter and casting were all excellent. Despite Shia's recent antics, he put in a particularly compelling performance.

One of Disney's Best Movies
on March 28, 2015
Posted by: IslandDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's a reason why this movie is Disney's 3rd highest grossing animated movie. The storyline, animation and casting are all excellent. Overall I'd say it's appropriate viewing for the whole family. There isn't any excess cartoon violence; however, like many Disney movies, it does explore issues around life and death.
