Entertaining and disappointing
on August 11, 2017

This is an example of way too much CGI. It was just too much, over the top and got in the way of creditable acting and a good story. Seems almost everyone loves these characters. So let them act more and tone down the stunts. They are way too unrealistic and frightening in their intensity. All I could think about was how many would by dying in the traffic scenes. By the way, if it interferes with being entertaining, it interferes with the movie. Still, big success globally and a must see.

![Shooter: Season One [2 Discs]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/402c036a-ab9a-4091-acae-073f5b62c0ea.jpg)

Mark Wahlberg who starred in the movie Shooter and evidently got entranced in the sniper culture is the producer. It includes the input of Stephen Hunter who authored the book Point of Impact that all this is based on. Every show has glitches but this one has fewer than most. Good story and the new season has just begun so watching the first season episodes is a treat. Like the past series, The Unit, it combines the story of the operator with family and while I tire easily of "family at risk" plots they do it pretty realistically here. Next up is Six, which is also available at Best Buy and based on DEVGRU, or SEAL Team Six, which really, doesn't exist...

Getting to hard to find...

I was about to give up finding a medium size surge protector with special features but as usual Best Buy came to the rescue. This has seven outlets and one for the master and can learn your system for turning on/off peripheral devices. I am very pleased.

This is really a Western
on December 24, 2016
Posted by: Charlie
Verified Purchase:Yes
All you have to do is set it back 100 years and give everyone six-shooters instead of karate and that's what you've got. Swayze is the good sheriff, or gunslinger, come to town to rid the place of the bad boss! Still, with a predictable plot the movie is full of good characterizations, action and actors you really like to watch. And who in their right mind ever gets tired of Sam Elliot? No special features to speak of and that's a minus but not a big enough one to effect my recommendation. After all, it's about the movie!

![Star Trek Beyond [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5450/5450020_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Charlie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having been an original trekkie (or trekker) I looked forward to the reboot. the new actors are faithful mirrors of the original and fun to watch and while I enjoyed the first two movies... I'm coming to believe that the mantra in Hollywood is: if we can do it, we should. And this is, extensive and dramatic CGI. Come on guys, this is becoming an excuse for not writing a better story, and the original Star Trek was about stories. The best of the movies has been about people stories and character developmet. I enjoy special affects but let's stop destroying so much (including the Enterprise - again, oops) and get back to storytelling. Oh, and while not so much in this one - ditch the shakey cam!

Useful and hard to find

Verified Purchase:Yes
After completing a recent phone purchase I asked my sales person if they carried any type of holder. I guess I'm not that multi-functional but I did not want to carry this nice new phone in a pants pocket. He directed me to the Insignia and it has been what I hoped it would be - a secure, safe way to carry the phone! Unfortunately these things are getting harder to find so kudo's to Best Buy for carrying these product aids!

When is enough too much
on October 14, 2016
Posted by: Charlie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall I think the Captain American Marvel movies have been among the best, but the "everything including the kitchen sink" method of making movies just adds too much. I kind of enjoy a smaller cast with more character development and interaction. Plus I enjoy it when Thor, who isn't in this one, tries to understand us. So it's too late to see an impact on the planned movies but maybe in the future they could dial it back a little. Still, an entertaining movie with great special effects. Thank goodness they avoided the over top stuff in Ultron. It is obviously a set up for Avengers Civil War but still a pretty good story.

Not what you might expect
on September 23, 2016
Posted by: Charlie
Verified Purchase:Yes
Every now and then Marvel or DC need to make action movies for adults, and in that respect, I mean "R" rated. If you have thought about Deadpool for the kids, that's probably a bad idea, it is an adult movie. On the other hand, the action is great, the story, complex but understandable, and the gags/jokes are hilarious. I look forward to a sequel and consider it one of the best Marvel has done. Wonder if he can meet the Star Lord?

This movie didn't review that well but, and this is the extended edition, that just goes to show you why I NEVER agree with critics. Perhaps they should visit my world some time. I loved it. As a long time reader of D.C. comics I enjoyed the tack Zack Snyder took in the movie, it's certainly not the Frank Miller comic on which much of it is based. It's better and looks better than the earlier Man of Steel. Comic heroes are supposed to be reinvented and this was a great story - looking forward to Wonder Woman and Justice League!

While Creed is the story of Apollo Creed's son more than a Rocky sequel, it is a great bridge in the series to possible new movies. This time Sylvester Stallone is in the Burgess Meredith roll as a trainer and he does a fantastic job (he got "jobbed" at the Academy Awards by the way!). All of the actors are excellent and the story within the bounds of the series is very plausible. You want it to go the way it does and the boxing footage is excellent. Even if you weren't a big Rocky fan, this is a must see/must have!

Does the blue on/off switch light up/illuminate?
I purchased this surge protector; however, the blue on/off switch looks like it should light up (like on most power strips that have clear red/orange switches) when the switch is turned to on.
I turn the power strip on, but the blue switch doesn't illuminate. Does the blue switch have a light within it that makes it illuminate when turned on?
