A good take on middle age.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a huge fan of the original Trainspotting. I saw it when I was in college and was completely mesmerized to the point that I bought the book. I continued reading all of Irvine Welsh's books, and it was always amusing when these characters would pop up in different stories. I was stunned when, after 20 years, I read that the gang was getting back together for a sequel, so I wondered if the movie would follow some of the character paths that were set out in the books. It was nice to see that some of the elements of "P0rno" were retained. Ultimately, though, it was kind of a touching experience to see how these characters have aged and how they've grown (or not grown, as it may be for some of them,) into middle age, as I am roughly the same age as these characters. In a way, it felt a little like the maturing process that I found in Clerks and Clerks II. I think if you liked the first Trainspotting, you will enjoy this one as well, although it is a different experience from that film. This is just a great, natural progression of characters, and really, life.

I love this set.

I have read several complaints regarding this Friday the 13th set. Some people do not like the packaging with dentable tin casing, or that the discs are stored in a book. Some people want part 3 to be in real 3D, not the anaglyph 3D. Some people are upset that Jason Goes to Heck* is not the uncut version. While these are (mostly) valid complaints, (especially the cut version of Part IX,) none of that ruins my total enjoyment of this set. All the movies are there, including Freddy v. Jason and the 2009 remake, and Ultraviolet codes are included, which is where you can find the uncut version of Jason Goes to Heck*. I am not a huge swag person, so the added trinkets and junk don't matter much to me, but it is nice that they included anaglyph 3D glasses for Part 3. My only wish, not a complaint, is that it would have been nice if they could have included the excellent Crystal Lake Memories documentary. I definitely love this set and was happy that I picked it up at a reasonable price before it went out of print. Friday the 13th is a fun, ridiculous series throughout.

Fun and nostalgic

I was disappointed that Disney decided to end their Infinity line. Almost all of the sets are a lot of fun, and this Star Wars Original Trilogy set was one of the best. I don't play a lot of video games in general, but I did find myself sitting down with my 7 year old to play this one quite a bit. I think most of these Infinity games are great, and fun, for people of all ages, and the Star Wars series hit a lot of nostalgic notes. The one issue I would say is that these play sets in general don't take very long to beat. And if I want to get real nitpicky, these Star Wars games take some liberties with the stories, but in the end it doesn't hinder any of the fun.

Feel the rush of performing in a real band in front of real crowds who react in real time to your performance. You'll either win the crowd or lose them. Plus, your band mates will also let you know if you're rocking out or need to pick it up. Fight the stage fright and bring down the house.

Limited fun

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was able to snag this on the cheap, which is good because I found my enjoyment of it pretty limited. I was jonesing for the good old days when Guitar Hero first came out, so I was pretty pumped to pick this up. As a game, it worked fine, the guitar was fine, and it was fun to play. For a little bit. It didn't take long for the experience to get stale. I don't know if that had more to do with the repetitiveness of the game itself or the bland song catalog. If you are/were a big fan of the original, I would definitely recommend waiting for a super sale to pick this one up.

Disappointing

While these Amiibo figures look cool, it feels like most of them are very limited in what they can actually do. My son begged me for this (or any Pokemon Amiibo that I could find,) and he ended up being disappointed in that it is really only usable in a couple of games. He was thinking that he could put Pikachu into any game, but that is not how it works. I would advise anybody who is interested in picking any of these up to do a quick online search for a database of all the figures and what games they are playable in.

Works without fail.

I bought this adapter to first use with my Surface Pro 2, and then with a Surface Pro 3. I have used it both directly from the tablets themselves and also from the Surface docks. I go out from the SP's mini D-Port and then HDMI into my TV to stream mostly from the Big 10 network, and this adapter has done a fantastic job. I have zero complaints. It is plug-and-play and is as simple as can be. Highly recommended.

Works as intended

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to transfer photos from an older SD card on a computer that only had USB 2.0 ports. Most of the other card readers I was looking at were USB 3.0 and that wasn't going to work for me. This did everything I needed it to do, so 4 stars. It does feel like it is a little on the fragile side, that's why I didn't go to 5 stars, but like I said, it is fine for it's intended purpose. Lastly, I only used the SD card slot, so I have no comment on the other card slots.

Good movie with great presentation

Verified Purchase:Yes
So, I have to start this by saying that Juice, as a movie, gets a 4-4.5 stars, but I have to bump it all the way to a 5 because of how good Paramount's 4K scan looks. Juice is a great, gritty urban crime thriller, offering a great look into life in a 90's New York burrow. Juice follows more in the thriller/noir vein than some of it's contemporary gangster films like Menace II Society. The cast is great, especially a young 2Pac, who is fantastic as a paranoia-filled youth that becomes increasingly unhinged as the movie progresses. Juice also has an incredible soundtrack featuring Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, and Naughty by Nature, among others.

A nice slice of 90's nostalgia

New Jack City is an entertaining movie, but does not quite have the depth, in my opinion, of Boyz N The Hood or Menace II Society. It does do a fairly good job of showing the crack epidemic from the early 90's, and Wesley Snipes's natural charisma makes for a fantastic Nino Brown. New Jack City is energetic and well acted, definitely worth a watch to to get a glimpse of New York in that era.
