Another Awesome Film By Villeneuve
on December 17, 2017
Posted by: marcoelo
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I didn't see this film in the theater and I didn't see this film before purchasing it. I saw Arrival last year and then Blade Runner 2049. So I decided to go back and start watching more films by Denis Villeneuve. Surprisingly, he hasn't made too many films, but the films he's made are really great. This is no exception. Johann Johannsson's score is nail-biting and the cinematography by Roger Deakins is beautiful - if he doesn't win an Oscar for Blade Runner 2049, then Academy members are just blind. Great performances all around. Special features are lacking but the ones the Blu-Ray has are at least decent ones. Definitely do yourself a favor and watch this along with Denis Villeneuve's filmography. You won't be disappointed.

Great Film All Around
on December 17, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
LA Confidential is probably one of those films that people tend to forget how great it was. It was overshadowed by Titanic during the award ceremony, but this a great fill all around with great performances, an intricate, interwoven, interesting plot, writing that doesn't hit you over the head with its social commentary or spoon feed you everything you need to know through exposition. I owned this film on DVD and I decided to watch it on my new 60' TV and it was hard to not see how poorly it looked, so I bought the Blu-Ray and I really like the way it looks and even sounds now when watching it on my entertainment system. The special features are great.

Insane Ride - Killer Sound and Kinetic Visuals
on December 17, 2017
Posted by: marcoelo
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was never a huge fans of the Max Max/Road Warrior films, but I really enjoyed this one. I didn't expect much of it when it was being marketed, but it blew away my expectations and a lot of critics' ones, too. The packaging isn't anything to rave about and no digital download? That was a deal breaker from the time this blu-ray was released, but then it went on sale and I couldn't be too picky. Apparently, the 4K version is the only one that has one - annoying if you don't have a 4K TV or player. I don't even think the 2-film Black & Chrome edition has it. Special features are decent, but there are not a lot.

Great Film Standing The Test of Time
on December 17, 2017
Posted by: marcoelo
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I remember seeing this film when I was about 9 and not really getting it. I didn't understand the narrative structure and half the dialogue but I was 9 and before this, not many films were like this. Since then, I have seen this film more than 100 times and it's still great with great performances, memorable scenes and dialogue, and a killer soundtrack. I am just surprised that it took me this long to own a version of the film. Maybe since I saw it on TV all the time, I just never thought of purchasing it, but the price was right and I got it. The special features alone are worth it. With this film being released so long ago and how much this film penetrated the zeitgeist of its time, there are features and features piled on with the blu-ray. Love the cover but wish there was a special edition cover like a steelcase or even a sleeve. Do yourself a favor and add this to your collection if you still haven't.

Loving The Hateful Eight - Gets Better With Time
on December 17, 2017
Posted by: marcoelo
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not one of my favorite Tarantino film's but it does have very good scenes in a too simple of a movie thinking it's more complicated than it really is. Sometimes, it feels like Tarantino tries too hard to play with his narrative structure that he forgets what the narrative is in this film. The acting is phenomenal - Kurt Russell, Samuel L Jackson, Walton Goggins, and Jennifer Jason Leigh among the standouts (which is saying a lot when almost everyone chewed up scenes like it was snuff). This being a Tarantino film, expect violence and a very lengthy run-time. I would say this film has gotten better with time. Maybe all the hype behind it made me expect something else like his previous efforts, which were more fun, but the basically one-setting film is more suspenseful than most run-of-the-mill suspense/thrillers coming out. I am pretty disappointed with the special features, but the packaging was nicer than expected (if you can find a version with the sleeve cover.

Great End To Trilogy

The film is awesome. Great extra features as well. I wish there was a cool steelbook version of this film like there was for the second film, but alas there wasn't. Recommend this film if you were a fan of the first two franchise reboot.

It's Printer Ink...easy to install and affordable
on October 9, 2017
Posted by: marcoelo
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought an HP Envy product and I looked at what ink cartridges the one I bought took because I didn't want to spend a lot of money every time I needed ink. It's not really expensive but it doesn't last very long. HP really is trying to push their subscription based refill program. Maybe if it wasn't based on how many pages you printed, it would make more sense. Either way, I don't print much so the occasional printer ink cartridge splurge won't break the bank. It's hard for me to justify buying the XL versions because I honestly don't know if they last much more. HP says double but if I was in marketing, I would label something XL and say there's twice as much even if was an off-truth. The normal HP cartridge will do. It's easy to install and affordable.

Not user friendly or very intuitive
on October 9, 2017
Posted by: marcoelo
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this because I was on Smart Home kick and I wanted to find a way to be able to turn on my old TV with my voice. I thought this Harmony hub would work and I would be able to consolidate all my remotes to one, including my Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and PS4. It seemed to work for a minute, but it would lose Bluetooth connection consistently and I would try to repair the remote with the device and it would just work unless I started from scratch. After 5 days of trying to get it to consistently work, I decided to return it because it just wasn't easy to set up and keep working. Sure, I was able to turn on my old tv with my Echo Dot connected to the Harmony Hub, but it wasn't worth the $70 (it was on sale) I paid to have that novelty. I didn't want another remote to add to the pile of remotes I already had. Maybe some of the more expensive versions are easier to work with and work better, but if this Harmony Smart Remote is any indication, then I wouldn't even bother.

Good External Hard Drive for Desk
on October 9, 2017
Posted by: marcoelo
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Nowadays, all external hard drives are portable or shaped to be portable and the ones that are meant to just sit on your desk are too big and take up too much space. I got this external hard drive on sale and thought I would try Western Digital again even though one of their portable ones gave out on me and I lost a lot of data. I guess that was a fluke or maybe it was an old hard drive. Either way, I guess there's a reason why Western Digital is still around. I like that it has it's own cloud service as well. I like that it feels like it belongs on my desk and won't fall off. Looks nice too. I hope it lasts as long as my Lacie Rugged or my old Seagate external hard drive. Either way, I've learned to back up my work on multiple hard drives and flash drives.

Great way to make your home smart inexpensively
on August 15, 2017
Posted by: marcoelo
from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The TP-Link Smart Wi-Fi mini plug is a very inexpensive way to control devices from your phone, with your voice, at home or away. I love the size of this plug. It doesn't take up an entire wall outlet. I bought it to turn on and off my TV with my voice, but it did not work because my old TV goes into standby mode when the power it turned on. This controls the power going to the device. If the TV had no standby mode, the TV would turn on, but alas, this did not solve my TV problem. It is not fault of the product. It's still great for so many other devices like turning your lights on and off with your phone or voice. The KASA app is easy to use as well. Really easy setup - very intuitive. Would definitely purchase more of these when the time comes.
