Who DOESN'T love Rosanne Cash? Only those who've never heard her! This collection reminds us of her great range by showcasing the hits as well as a few surprises............ She's one of my favorites, and this disc is a fine reminder as to why. Tho' her biggest hits are in the past, a talent like this is timeless; if you love great heartfelt music, give this a go! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

One of the World's Best Vocalists........... LIVE
on July 3, 2018
Posted by: thrall
from charlotte nc
Verified Purchase:Yes
Norah Jones is always a treat to the ears, easily one of the most talented vocalists ever. This collection justifies that praise and then some. Recorded live with just minimal instruments (Bass, drums, piano), at Ronnie Scotts, this set is as real as it gets. A perfect showcase starting with her initial tracks then working thru the catalogue, Norah and Co deliver in an intimate setting. Well filmed and recorded, this IS the way to see and hear one of the greats live..........HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Stylish, Beautiful, Brutal
on June 16, 2018
Posted by: thrall
from charlotte nc
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a real head scratcher to this viewer; it recalls some great giallos of a bygone era while circling the wagons in today's arena. Is it a commentary on modeling? A straight on horror film? A story of trust and betrayal? Just an artsy director's freakin' mess? I'm not sure, and I'm certain many pundits more capable than I really get this film....... Beautiful women, fine acting, believable characters, and a look that just won't quit add to the charm of this downbeat outing. WARNING: not an easy view, but worth a look if you're ready for it. Great music is an added bonus to those of us who are Eno, Tangerine Dream, & Berlin Bowie fans. Killer adders, interviews, commentaries make this a cool disc IF you're a fan of Refn............ Let the buyer beware, and ENJOY!

Great Family Picture
on June 16, 2018
Posted by: thrall
from charlotte nc
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is just what the world needs; a story of hope and faith in the face of great odds. Julia Roberts finest film in ages, a welcome back for Owen Wilson, and a tale that would make the Grinch's heart grow 5 sizes. Based on a true story, and from what the Missus says, a fine retelling on film. Living proof people CAN be who they want to be, regardless of the obstacles...........HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

A League of Their Own
on June 16, 2018
Posted by: thrall
from charlotte nc
Verified Purchase:Yes
First off, not a big fan of comic based films; not that they're "bad", it's just I don't know enough about the characters to get into them. A friend had me look at Wonder Woman, ( under protest, I remember the 70's tv swillfest), I was blown away, nothing like what I anticipated! Naturally, this was a great followup, so off I go. Maybe there's just a little TOO much meat on this platter, there's so many characters involved, it's kinda hard (for me at least) to keep score. (Again, not huge on comics, so it may be my lack of familiarty). Great costumes, stunning CGI, wooden acting, and GAL GADOT add to this heady stew which I found a bit meh, but far from terrible......... Overall, a good film to me, but likely a great film to the right audience. Very good popcorn film, ADDED BONUS: This one's a Riffer's dream come true!

Gerry's Finest Album
on June 16, 2018
Posted by: thrall
from charlotte nc
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ok, I admit, I'm getting a bit long in the tooth; now I get to complain about MY kid's music the way Dad did about mine back in the day........ Styles and popularity change with the wind, BUT great work goes on forever, and this album is certainly that! A working man's dream come true with blues, ballads, and Baker Street, a must have for any collection. Rafferty was another great who left us far too soon, but look back at this fine effort and recall why he was such a special talent in the first place. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Oh yeah, My Daughter loves this album too!

Great Collection from a Great Artist
on May 5, 2018
Posted by: thrall
from charlotte nc
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've enjoyed Gerry Rafferty's music for over 4 decades. I've collected both Steelers Wheel and solo work, as well as side projects and some "oddities" packages. I have to say tho', THIS is the definitive collection for both long time fans as well as newcomers. A great sampling with the expected hits (TRY to get that sax/guitar blend on "Baker Street" outta your mind..........I DARE YOU!!) as well as a nice variety of tunes from all over the map. Mix and presentation are all top shelf, there will be things you hadn't heard before (C'mon, CRANK IT, the neighbors won't mind) Truly an outstanding package from a fantastic artist who left us way to soon. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

HP products just ROCK............. I've had several computers and printers from various brands, and HP always outshines the competition. Even their cartridges are a bargain, tho' higher priced than some knock offs, these are the real deal; perfect fit, great quality and long life. The best choice replacement cartridge for any HP printer.

Get ready for a strange voyage back to a strangely familiar fantasy land with Disney DVD's release of this belated sequel to The Wizard of Oz. Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, the image is clean and nearly flawless. Sporting solid blacks, even skin tones, and little evidence of edge-enhancement, this disc will look great no matter how it's viewed. The Dolby Digital 5.1 remix rings through loud and clear, with no hiss to speak of, offering a great showcase for David Shire's wondrous score. Of course, Return to Oz wasn't exactly a box-office phenomenon when originally released in 1985, but that hasn't stopped Disney from including some interesting extra features. It's great to hear Fairuza Balk recollect her first major role in a candid and easygoing interview, and it's obvious that everyone involved in the production truly believed in the film. In addition to addressing issues of stratospheric audience expectations, Balk also talks about her longtime relationship with director Walter Murch and the grueling audition process she endured to land the coveted role of Dorothy. Though original TV spots and a theatrical trailer are also included, the television spots are in particularly poor shape and appear almost completely desaturated in addition to sporting onscreen timecode.

This AIN'T Grandad's OZ!

Verified Purchase:Yes
WHOA! Just when I thought I'd seen it all, here comes a retina rotter to say differently............. I didn't even know this one existed until a recent Incredibly Strange Film site visit enlightened me. This is definately NOT the same telling as the wildly popular one with Judy Garland. HOWERVER, it MAY be more in tune with the books original intent. From Disney, beautifully shot, very creative, and a tad disturbing, this 30 plus year old gem is a must see for fans of Oz. New direction, new characters, and new brilliance by all involved, make this one fine production..... I only wish I had seen it sooner.......ENJOY!!!

Keep in touch with friends and family with this AT&T CL82415 cordless phone, which enables connection of up to 12 handsets (4 included), so you can easily find a handset in your home. A phone directory holds up to 50 numbers for quick access.
 

can i be on the phone while using the internet

I'd say that if you have a standard installation dedicated system, yes you can operate both simultaneously. In the past, some systems only allowed operating either/or, but today's majority of setups support both at once as internet and phone lines are dedicated to their own service.

Does the LCD screen light up?

I notice that they have backlit buttons, but I don't see the screens being lit up. Maybe hard to see in the dark.
Yes, the screens have backlites AND the added benefit of large letters & numbers onscreen. Very user friendly in low light situations... hope this helps.

Does it work in 220V?

NOPE! Designed for 110volts and using converters etc has never ended well for most users. Best to stick with equipment designed to fit your needs. (I assume you want to use this tv internationally, hence the 220v question,,,,,,,,be aware if this the case there are several international tv standards which may pose new problems as to regional standards which may not allow this set to operate,

how many channels will it pick up

To give a "non answer" response to your question, this set will deliver based on what you feed it........ in other words based on signal strength this tv will deliver a great picture. We have one these in a rural setting using only an outdoor antenna and even at that delivers over 30 channels perfectly. If you had this on a cable or satellite system I would see this being only limited by that input, as the tv in itself is very capable.

How is this a smart tv? No mention of apps?

No, this is NOT a smart tv. though Samsung offers a "big brother" to this set (same physical size and similar features), but equipt with SMART tv technology for only a few bucks more than this model.
