![Outlander: Season 1, Vol. 1 [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3528/3528139_sa.jpg)
After World War Two, a British nurse and her husband embark on a second honeymoon. On a walk through an ancient ruin on the British Isles, she finds herself transported back to Scotland in the year 1743. Bewildered by her predicament, she is discovered and accused of espionage. Forced into a marriage to a rogue Highlander, she is tormented by their growing love and tries to make sense of being in love with two men from different centuries. This release includes the first eight episodes of Season One and special features such as "The Dresses and Kilts of Outlander" and "An Epic Adaptation."

Interesting time travel story, especially since the modern era that the main character comes from is the 1940's, so it's almost like a double time travel. Told from a woman's point of view which at times makes it feel like a romance novel come to life, and be warned, the romance does come to life quite graphically (mature audiences only). I found it compelling enough of a story to make me order season 1 part 2, and I'll likely be continuing with the series as long as it keeps up the quality.

![Dirty Dancing [Ultimate Edition] [DVD] [1987]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6083/6083463_sa.jpg)
Emile Ardolino's smash hit Dirty Dancing gets the two-disc deluxe treatment on this special edition DVD. The film itself is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo and DTS Stereo. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. The extensive supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by choreographer Kenny Ortega, cinematographer Jeff Jur, and other members of the crew. Interviews with cast and crew members (including Jennifer Grey, who also records a video introduction to the film), snippets of the successful Dirty Dancing Live concert tour, three music videos, and a trailer track all add additional value to this DVD for any fan.

It's on my list of all-time favorite movies. It's the type of movie you can watch again and again. Great story, music, acting, a feel-good movie that you never get tired of.

This action-adventure chronicles the escapades of a swashbuckling and brutal pirate, Captain Flint (Toby Stephens), his shipmates and his rivals in the early 18th-century Caribbean. The series is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," and is set 20 years before the events depicted in that literary classic. While bounding the Spanish Main and jolly-rogering across the seas, Flint accepts a young recruit, John Silver (Luke Arnold), to join his crew, while later quashing a mutiny, questing for treasures, broadsiding other pirate vessels and exchanging fire with the ships of the British Navy who have been charged with blowing Flint out of the water.

4 1/2 if I could

This is a very good series. The story is quite involved really and you do have to pay attention, lots of characters, back stories, intrigue, etc. It does give a real feeling of being back in the time and place of pirates (and glad at the same time that I'm here in modern times USA!)

Great addition to the Jurassic family

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a very entertaining movie. Sure, there were several dumb characters that had you yelling the whole time, "Don't do that!", "Don't hide there!", "What the heck was she thinking?!" but that just adds to the fun. The computer graphics were great, incredible advances from the originals. Would definitely get it if you enjoyed the prior Jurassics.

Kept my interest

Verified Purchase:Yes
I would actually give this a 3 1/2 if I could. Better than average. Great acting. Good story line, and of course based on a real story. I have done some backpacking and even carrying a 20 pound pack for a few days was quite challenging, so I can't even begin to imagine carrying the weight she did, but apparently it was based in fact. Gave a true sense of what it was like to do that kind of thing in the day and age before cell phones and the internet.

So much more entertaining than documentary
on April 2, 2016
Posted by: SB33
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really enjoyed this series, and that is coming from someone who was not a huge fan of docudramas, until this one. I found myself drawn into the "characters" from history and looking forward to each episode to find out what would happen to Paul Revere and John Adams, etc. Of course history already knows what happens, but you have the feeling when you are watching that the outcome is still unknown, because you are more emotionally involved. (Also this went way beyond my basic high school knowledge of the Am Rev). The acting was very good overall. Ok so the actual battle scenes went on a little long for the female audience, but even then, because I "knew" the characters, I had more interest even in the battles. Because I loved this one so much, it made me want to learn more about the American Revolution, so I got a full documentary on it. Mistake, way too dry, find myself falling asleep, too much like school. Can't speak to the complete historical accuracy of this one, will leave that to others who know more, but for drama and interest this is much better than a documentary.

iPad mini 4 has a gorgeous 7.9-inch Retina display, yet it's only 5.08mm thin and weighs just 0.65 pounds, making it small enough to hold in one hand. It has a powerful A8 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life. It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, and powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking. And there are even more incredible apps available in the App Store.

I have an iPad Air and now the mini, love the smaller size for when I need something more portable. The retina screen is a huge improvement from the prior versions.

Grips beat the slips!
on November 24, 2015
Posted by: SB33
Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't know why more cases don't have the grip feature. The other cases I checked out were as slippery as the phone itself. The phone does not slip out of my hand or my pocket because of the grips. It's the only case I would use for my iPhone. I just bought one as a gift, but I have had my case for over a year. It has held up well, just a few of the grips on the corners have worn down but overall still looks great. So far kept my phone safe through a few drops (I also have a glass shield for added protection).
