"Stalker" meets "2001" in science fiction classic!
on June 22, 2018
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Alex Garland follows his 2014 little gem, "Ex Machina" with this truly mind-blowing science fiction masterpiece that seems to blend Tarkovsky's Russian art film, "Stalker" with Kubrick's "2001". This is for intelligent fans of the genre and will keep you thinking about it for days after seeing it.

This is a fantastic mouse for just about everyone, a superior product from Logitech. I chose it over another Microsoft mouse which I was fairly happy with but this one is ideal.

Jordan Peele's incredible debut film
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
It was my second viewing of Jordan Peele’s independent little film, “Get Out”, that grabbed me. On my first viewing I was lulled into complacency while lazily taking in the first half of the film, the kind of complacency the film ultimately squelches. I had conveniently forgotten the short pre-credit sequence of a casual black man walking through a white suburb at night being struck and abducted into the trunk of a car. Everybody does, and when it catches up with you, you know it. Previously a comedian, this is writer/director/producer Peele’s directorial debut, and he gives us the African-American nastiness of a Hitchcock, palming his aces to play in the last half hour of the film with the relish of the Master. The set up: a young black man is pressured by his white girlfriend into meeting her parents by spending a weekend at their secluded estate in the woods. What follows is a gradual descent into nightmare as he intermingles with upper class white liberals who bring out the paranoia in him – or do they have their own agenda? (Remember even paranoids have real enemies.) Watching this film might enlighten white liberals like myself by forcing us to experience what black people have felt for years in our company (let alone among white conservative racists!), but the film goes much further than one might imagine, even taking the form of a horror fable encompassing not just racial themes but also serving as an uncompromisingly astute societal dissection. Shot in a mere 23 days, Jordan Peele has done something really special here: an engrossing thriller that also bravely delves into important issues, issues that Peele himself has had to deal with personally: e.g., the marginalizing of African-Americans (“No matter how hard we scream, the system silences us,” Peele says). But don’t get me wrong: This is a work of entertainment, not a ‘message’ film -- and that’s all to the good.

Martin McDonagh gives us another great film
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
My favorite film of 2008 was “In Bruges”, the directing debut of Irish playwright Martin McDonagh, and now McDonagh furthers his art with his third film, “Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri”, a sort of dark comic crime film that is really a complex character study of a disgruntled mother upset at a town’s failure to solve the murder of her teenage daughter to the point she rents three billboards outside the town to call attention to the unsolved murder. Frances McDormand plays the grieving divorced mother, Mildred Hayes, in a performance that might even surpass her Oscar-winning role in the Coen Brothers’ 1996 “Fargo”. She’s cynical, angry at the core, street-smart while flawed, and her inner journey is rightly the film’s main focus. But she isn’t the only character sketch that fascinates in this film. Two other characters display important moral arcs: the town sheriff Chief Willoughby (Woody Harrelson, surprisingly the most likeable) and, most significantly, Officer Dixon (a career best performance by Sam Rockwell that seems the film’s most memorable). The movie’s brilliant wit and marvelous interactive dialogue is matched by McDonagh’s handling of the actors and control of the visual style, while keeping the humanity of the characters at the forefront as he deftly manages to circumvent the clichés always found in these kind of movies. Highly recommended as a remarkably composed portrait of small town America, it sends viewers out of the theater to contemplate moral questions concerning justice, revenge, anger and forgiveness. It is one of the year’s most entertaining movies.

Very good film; mediocre Blu-ray
on January 5, 2018
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a fine Australian thriller by Philip Noyce that first put Nicole Kidman on the International map. The Blu-ray, however, is merely adequate in its picture quality, and its lack of any special features beyond a trailer is really substandard. The rating and recommendation is only for the film.

A sub-par X-Men film aided by great 3D
on December 29, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
The 3D really improves this lesser X-Men film that has too much action and too little character development (something usually superb in the series).

Really subtle little gem of a film

An amazingly effective little mystery gem with great atmosphere, and one can understand how it won Best Director award at Cannes. Worth checking out for all its emotional nuances.

Classics that still hold up
on December 29, 2017
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although I'm not a Star Wars fanatic, these George Lucas originals are still as entertaining as ever. But no matter what I say about these three films, everyone has already made up their minds about them. The quality of the Blu-rays are excellent as expected, but the virtual lack of special features (saving commentaries) are hard to understand.

Excellent modern western crime thriller
on December 8, 2017
Posted by: Excellent
from Daytona Beach, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
What makes this present-day western crime thriller work so well is not from it employing any artificially intense dramatics or hyped-up action, but from the ordinariness of the characters and events. Taking place in New Mexico and West Texas, its sense of time and place is so well-defined it's hard to believe its director, David Mackenzie was born in Scotland. Moreover, Mckenzie was the co-founder of the Glasgow-based Sigma Films, a prestigious European independent production company that won many international awards -- and a company that, more surprisingly, co-produces films by the Danish iconoclast Lars von Trier, a director as overwrought as Mckenzie is restrained. Here, this Scotsman managed to nail a certain piece of Western Americana while telling a tale that follows two brothers (played to perfection by Chris Pine and Ben Foster) who pull a series of bank robberies against branches of the Texas Midlands Bank in order to save their family ranch that is being foreclosed on by the same bank. The crusty, persistent Texas Ranger trying to nab them is Jeff Bridges, an actor who, over 45 years ago, had ironically starred in "The Last Picture Show" which took place in the same town in which one of the robberies does: Archer City, Texas. This is a special character-driven, authentic modern-day western of subtlety and atmosphere, and a film that is as true to human behavior as any recent film.

The Best Kong film after the 1933 original!

Most critics missed the boat on this one -- it's one of the most imaginative fantasy films of recent years, and especially effective in 3D if you're fortunate enough to have a home 3D system.

I do not want my ink automatically re-ordered. I would almost never use colors, so they would probably just dry out from non use. That would be fine, because my use is black. It the color cartridge shows empty, would I be able to print in black?

I'm not an expert, but I'm fairly sure it will work if you just change some setting (you should call HP to find out how). As far as the ink automatically re-ordered, I've had that service for a few years (and I love it -- but I print more than most average people because I am president of a poetry society) and they only send a replacement when your ink gets down to a certain level, so they won't send you one if you don't need it (at least that's my own experience). As far as not printing in color, you get the most benefit from the service because it charges the same for color or black and white, so if you print only in black and white you are not taking the most advantage from the service. I'm not sure this instant ink service is right for you -- but it certainly is for people like me! I love it!

Call HP because they are so reasonable and have excellent customer service.

Will this work with chrome book?

Honestly, I don't know, but I can't see why not. If you have Wi-fi, the printer will ever print from an iphone!
