I have had this camera for a few weeks and have loved it so far! The zoom is great! My pictures have come out crystal clear, even when my kids are moving as I take them! It is certainly not a professional camera, I have one of those too, but is great for travel! I bought this camera primarily to take on vacations when my other camera is too big and bulky. The size of this one is perfect and the features are great for what I need! I have figured out how to post pictures to Facebook from the camera which is a cool little feature! My friends have all asked which camera I have after seeing those pics as they have come out so clear! So far I love this camera!

"So we're saving the universe again? *Awesome!*"

After a brief flashback to 1980 where we get to see Peter Quill's mother, Meredith (Laura Haddock) having a romantic encounter with a man who appears to be Peter's mysterious father, GotG2 picks things up at what seems like a few months after the end of the first film, with the Guardians - Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and now-baby Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) getting ready to protect some highly valuable Anulax batteries from a giant marauding space beast. We soon learn that they were hired for the job by a high priestess named Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki), the supreme leader of a gold-skinned and rather arrogant race called the Sovereigns, who apparently don't like getting their hands dirty or putting themselves personally at risk. As part of their payment, the Sovereigns hand over Gamora's step-sister Nebula (Karen Gillan) whom they happen to have captive. But things quickly go south when Rocket decides to help himself to some of the Sovereigns' precious batteries because "Hey, they were really easy to steal!" The subsequent pursuit by the outraged Sovereigns sets everything in motion and leads to the introduction of some new characters - Ego (Kurt Russell), a Celestial who claims to be Peter's father, and Mantis (Pom Klementieff), an eager-to-fit-in but rather naive empath who serves Ego - along with the reappearance of Yondu Udonta (Michael Rooker), leader of the band of Ravagers who abducted and then essentially raised Peter from when he was a boy.
One note: while GotG2 is a lot of fun to watch, I felt it didn't measure up to the first film in terms of smoothness of flow. The best scenes are when the Guardians are in action and/or when they're interacting with each other, and there are plenty of both throughout the film. But that said, a lot of the purpose of GotG2 is to provide both background on the characters and, to a lesser degree, some setup for what will come next, and in doing so, there are a number of places in the film where the pace stumbles a bit due to one or more characters having to engage in what is generally called lumpy exposition. This is why I gave the film 4 stars instead of 5. It's the only reason, mind you, and the film is still pretty awesome overall, but at the same time these exposition lumps, however necessary they may be, do slow things down a bit.
But there is a lot of heart in this film, just as there was in the first, and GotG2 does succeed in deepening our understanding of - and affection for - the Guardians as a group and as individuals. The most apt exchange defining this is when Nebula fumes to Gamora "All you do is yell at each other. You're not friends!" To which Drax responds "No. We are family."
Highly recommended to any fan of the MCU franchise and to anyone who enjoys good, fun space opera with a healthy dose of heart.
PS - (1) There are a lot of cameos and Easter eggs in this film. Too many to list here. I suggest googling for them so you'll know what to watch for in the movie.
(2) There are 5 credits/after-credits scenes at the end of GotG2.
(3) The film also has a recurring "crazy credits" going on so keep an eye on the credits themselves as they scroll by.

It's time to get ready to say goodbye to the Tanner family. But before we do, we still get one last season of fun and laughs. And everyone faces challenges as well.
This season, Danny (Bob Saget) finds a new girlfriend in one of Stephanie's (Jodie Sweetin) friend's mother. Joey (Dave Coulier) tries to substitute teach, but finds it hard when Michelle's (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) class expects him to be funny instead of serious. Jesse (John Stamos) is kicked out of his own bands and forms a new one, Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets. Meanwhile, his wife Becky (Lori Loughlin) becomes the producer of "Wake Up, San Francisco," much to Danny's dismay. And Jesse and Becky have to deal with their twins, Nicky and Alex (Blake & Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit) starting pre-school.
And the kids on the show face their own growing pains. D.J. (Candace Cameron) tries to juggle two boyfriends after breaking up with long time boyfriend Steve. (And as long as we're on the subject of Steve, what is he doing on the cover of the box since he isn't in this season?) D.J.'s best friend Kimmy (Andrea Barber) decides to elope when faced with the possibility of D.J. moving away. Stephanie forms a new rock band. And Michelle uses her lemonade stand money to buy a donkey. Even Comet gets into the act this year when he runs away for an afternoon.
This may be the last season, but the show isn't running out of laughs. Long time fans will find just as many laughs as previous seasons. The cast is still having fun together bringing their characters to life each week. As is tradition, most episodes end with a heart to heart, and a hug or two. And there are still special guest stars like Barry Williams and Mickey Rooney, too.
The one thing this four disc set doesn't have is special features. But that's not really shocking considering that the last few sets haven't had any either.
It's hard to say goodbye. But fans of the show will be pleased to have the final season in their collection.

The Tanner Family is back to make us laugh with season four of Full House.
The big news this season is a wedding. Becky (Lori Loughlin) and Jesse (John Stamos) tie the knot. We go from the proposal to the ceremony this season with such stops along the way as buying the ring (and Jesse selling his Elvis guitar to pay for it), picking a location (Graceland or Kansas), and Jesse picking a best man.
But the wedding isn't the only storyline. There's still plenty for the rest of the gang. Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) discovers that there can be consequences when she misbehaves. Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) is tempted to throw a baseball game for a really cute boy. D.J. (Candace Cameron) becomes editor of the school newspaper and finds that hiring your best friend (Andrea Barber's Kimmy) can lead to problems if she doesn't do the work. Danny (Bob Saget) dates a dry cleaner with a prankster of a son and a much younger woman. And Joey (Dave Coulier) reunites with his dad and gets a chance at TV stardom along side Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello.
This season has a couple of other standout episodes. "Slumber Party" finds Stephanie trying to decide what to do about the mother-daughter sleepover her Honeybee hive is having. This episode truly tugs at the heartstrings. Also in that category is "Fuller House." The episode right after Becky and Jesse's wedding, everyone struggles with the idea of Jesse moving out of the house, especially Jesse and Michelle. And for a downright funny episode, look no further then "Secret Admirer" which finds a love letter making the rounds with absolutely hilarious results. Also noteworthy this season, the season premier features one of the few times that Mary-Kate and Ashley appear on screen together.
As always, the cast is great and the shows are funny. Yes, it will appeal to kids and others who enjoy family entertainment most. But for them, this set will be a real treat.

The Laughs Continue with Season Three
on July 11, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Season 3 of hit sit-com Full House continues the fun and laughs as the family continues to grow.
This season, D.J. (Candace Cameron) enters Jr. High. Naturally, the adjustment is hard not only on her, but Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), who still wants to hang with her old sister, and Danny, Jesse, and Joey, who don't want to let her grow up.
Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) seems to have plenty of trouble with his girlfriend Becky (Lori Loughlin). They seem to fight as often as they get along. My favorite of these is "Breaking up is Hard to Do (in 22 minutes)" which finds the couple trying to work through their various hobbies.
In other developments this season, Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) turn three and start pre-school, Danny (Bob Saget) takes the entire family to Hawaii, Stephanie backs Joey's car into the kitchen, and Joey (Dave Coulier) makes one more desperate bid to become a famous stand-up comic.
While Jesse and Joey are still working in advertising, that seems to be an side note and is only the focus of one or two episodes this season. We also suffer the first signs of tainted timelines when Doris Roberts shows up to play Danny's mom and Becky and Jesse celebrate the one year anniversary of the day they met around Christmas (in an episode that aired in January originally.)
Those quibbles aside, the jokes are still great and the cast still does a great job acting.
This season does contain the first episode I truly didn't care for. "Our Very First Telethon" is basically a talent show for the cast with no real plot. That's one episode I won't watch much in the future.
This set contains 24 episodes on four discs. The only extra is a montage of Joey's impersonations over the course of the season. Frankly, it's funny, but not worth watching more then once.
While I would love some real extras, the show itself is still very funny. This is certainly worth owning for Full House fans.

I am 33, I grew up watching this. I even called it the "Michelle show" way before I was old enough to care what it was called. I would tell my mom to call me inside from playing to watch in when it came on. It was a great show back then and still is today! The thing is today they just don't make (or rarely make) good, clean, and actually funny family shows! I would sooooooo much rather my kids watch this on DVD than just about anything that comes on TV! And don't even get me started on video games. Sometimes at least, do you just want to sit and watch something as a family where you never have to cover little eyes or say "don't repeat that"? Then I suggest this strongly!!
This season is particularly awesome to me because, DJ is dealing with older teen stuff, Michelle and Stephanie are sharing a room and learning to respect each other. Jessy and Rebecca live up stairs with the twins who are walking and talking. Joey is the bachelor without children, but very much raising children. Danny is a single dad, widowed at the start of the series, trying to juggle 3 girls, a career, his obsessive cleaning habits, and trying the dating world. There is a house full of people dealing with a wide range and variety of issues that just about anyone has someone to relate to. It's always funny and there is always a moral or lesson to every episode. Plus the history that is "accidentally " packed in because it was "so long ago" according to my kids lol. They use landlines, VCRS, one TV in the house, stuff my kids find unreal, but they are fascinated by it!
It came a little slow, I ordered used, but it was in great condition!

The Tanners Continue to Grow with Laughter
on July 11, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Season six of Full House finds the Tanner family continuing to grow as they face new challenges together.
The season opens with D.J. (Candace Cameron) returning from a summer in Spain with a surprise, boyfriend Steve (Scott Weinger). This is a change that dad Danny (Bob Saget) isn't ready to deal with. Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) has a change of her own to face when her best friend moves from California to Texas. Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) wants different rules then her sister had, and rebels by getting her ears pierced. And Jesse (John Stamos) and Joey (Dave Coulier) deal with their own changes when they team up again to become hosts of an afternoon radio show.
In another continuity error (which does happen in long running series), Jesse suddenly goes from being a high school graduate in season four to a high school drop out who goes to night school to get his diploma. Even though this doesn't fit with what they did before, it provides several fun episodes.
Another running storyline is Danny's long distance relationship with Vicky (recurring actress Gail Edwards). We get to watch the struggles these two endure. All this comes to a climax when the gang heads to Disney World for the season finale.
With the girls growing up, the series is continuing to find new topics to explore. And it continues to be just as fun, funny, and heart warming as always. While many of the episodes are predictable, there's lots of fun getting to the end. Missing from this season are most of the catch phrases we're used to hearing. As much as I enjoyed them, it's a change I don't mind that much.
As with the last couple season sets, there are no bonus features. We do get all 24 episodes on four discs. They look and sound good enough for a sitcom. There's nothing here that will blow you away, but there really is no need for it, either.
This series won't appeal to everyone. But the young and young at heart will continue to enjoy the adventures of the Tanner clan.

When last we saw the Tanner family, Becky (Lori Loughlin) had just discovered she was pregnant. As this season opens, she and Jesse (John Stamos) are in for another surprise, they're having twins! That's just the start of another fun filled season.
Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) enters kindergarten, makes a new best friend, Teddy (Tahj Mowry), and learns to ride a bike. D.J. (Candace Cameron) enters high school. Ready for her own room, she convinces the adults to let Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle share a room. Meanwhile, she also starts to learn how to drive, much to her father's horror. Stephanie competes in a spelling bee and pursues more dance lessons. Joey (Dave Coulier) and Jesse break up their ad agency to focus on their comedy and music respectively, and Joey lands his dream job as the host of a kid's afternoon cartoon show. Danny (Bob Saget) finally makes bachelor of the month and it goes straight to his head. And neighbor Kimmy (Andrea Barber) gets promoted to the opening credits (finally) so she can annoy the family even more.
In addition to the previously mentioned Teddy, two other recurring characters are introduced this season. Danny meets potential love interest Vicki (Gail Edwards) when she fills in while Becky is on maternity leave. She's only in about six episodes here, but she does show up again in later seasons. Similarly, Steve (Scott Weinger) shows up as one of D.J.'s date of the week. For the next two years, he'd be her steady boyfriend.
And a fun trivia note. In the episode "The Devil Made Me Do it," Michelle is visited by her good and bad sides. That's right. We get a couple shots of three Michelle's on the screen at the same time. This is the only show I know that has two people playing one part that still needs to use special effects.
Even with five seasons under its belt, this show still delivers plenty of laughs and tender moments. With two to three stories in each episode, there's definitely something for everyone here, and usually in each episode. The actors know their characters and bring their best acting each week, making the situations seem real no matter how funny they may be.
This set is exactly like the last season set. We get 26 more episodes on four DVD's. The picture and sound quality are great, but there are no extras.
No, this isn't an example of "important" television. But it is fun and entertaining. And I love it.
