Hugh Jackman final Wolverine
on July 15, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
Some have called this film too long, it is not. Some have called this one of Jackman's finest performances, it most definitely is. Some have called this one of the greatest superhero films of all-time, well I like to think there's still some time to make more...but as of right now this is pretty great.

Jordan Peele's modern American horror classic
on July 15, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
The creeping feeling of dread this film generates is impressive.The trick of handling laughs amidst all the tension is expertly done. The real star of this is first time director Jordan Peele.

That angle makes all the difference, ergonomically

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is only for Samsung phones and it is beautifully simple. I'm no gamer, just a look around guy who likes to be immersed in nice visuals, this device works great for me. The angle of the thumb pad makes it more comfortable for your tendons during long sessions.

Great second Journey to the West!
on July 15, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Teaming up director Tsui Hark and writer/producer Stephen Chow for this second Journey West is a gift from action movie heaven. This Chinese fantasy-adventure-comedy film, buries all western world action films in its dust!

Visually gorgeous....but
on July 15, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
Gore Verbinski really knows how to make your eyes happy...but this story is really predictable. If they leaned a little harder on the 'Lovecraftian' angle, they might have had something really great. A little long, but worth seeing for its stunning visuals.

JW: 2 is JW: 1 at ultra high speed!

Your in "Kingsman" territory as far as violence goes with JW: 2. When John Wick: 3 comes out will need to wear seat belts and special glasses to protect our eyes. If you fall asleep during this, have a friend check your pulse, you might be dead.

Will Arnett knocks out Ben Affleck
on July 15, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
Watching this with grown-ups and kids is almost as funny as the movie, because we're all laughing at different things.This is beyond 'family friendly', this is 'Everyone Friendly'. The consensus of everyone...Will Arnett is the best Batman ever!

Korean-language 1930's set crime/drama
on May 27, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great action set-pieces keep this 140 minute political/crime/drama chugging along. Some have said this is too long and too complicated...it is neither, in my opinion. Great cast, especially Song Kang-ho & Gong Yoo as the lead characters, tell this story set during the Japanese occupation of Korea in the 1930's. Double crossing spies and twisted loyalties abound.

Simple story of a teenage love triangle
on May 27, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is actually a Japanese anime television film from 1993 originally titled 'I Can Hear the Sea'. Now restored and re released on Blu-ray. Two high school boys live on an island, one day a new girl is enrolled in their school....you see where this is going. Nice meandering story.
Subtitled only, no dub track.

Never read the books, but these two actors...
on May 27, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
The film stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan and as in the first film this pair of actors are really the only reason to see this movie. Some have said they lack onscreen chemistry, I think they do, their commitment to this story-line is very impressive. The amount of trust as actors in each other and the implicit trust their characters have, is all up there on the screen. Of course the story is silly, that's why it is so amazing what is pulled off [no pun intended] in this contrivance.

Does the kitchen timer work when the microwave is working

It's very useful to use the timer on the microwave to keep track of something else you are timing. So many don't do this and for me, it's a critical feature.
Yes it does and I use it to time boiled eggs and other stove top tasks, however be near your kitchen to hear it when it goes off, it is not loud enough to be heard all over a house or large apartment.

Noise

I just purchased this microwave. It is quite noisy and rattles when it starts up. Is this normal??
The magnetron that generates the microwaves in ANY microwave oven is always going to generate sound. The rattle is something else, perhaps the motor for rotation platter is faulty. My unit works great and has no rattle at start up or even later. You might want to get it exchanged.
