'Beautiful' horror not for squeamish.
on March 18, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
Being in B&W only slightly tamps down the gore. Being beautifully shot by Cinematography Zach Kuperstein, expertly written/directed by Nicolas Pesce,,,and finally the main lead, Kika Magalhães makes this very uncomfortable journey worth going through. WARNING: This is going to stick in your head...you can't 'un-see' it.

The Disney 'Formula' still works...
on March 18, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
Besides being in 3D, the characters are three dimensional as well, that's because of great writing. Is it just me, or are credit rolls for these kinds of films getting way longer?! It's like an entire city worked on some aspect of this, and it shows in every frame of film. Like I always say if everyone, from the youngest to the oldest can sit down together and enjoy the same movie...you have a winner.

Shane Black meets Brett Halliday in '77 'nuff said
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
In case you missed this little comedic gem when it came out and got buried by Captain America: Civil War, now's your chance to boogie down with a great soundtrack and a couple of shady characters. Shane Black's homage to uber-hard-boiled writer Brett Halliday is rockin' the house...sequel please.

Tom Ford's 2nd as Director is another winner
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
I always thought Austin Wright's great 1993 novel 'Tony and Susan' was unfilmable, I stand corrected with this great adaption by Tom Ford. While the conceit of the book is tweaked for the film the story is essentially intact. A great cast is game for some dark stuff, you will not be bored; and don't be afraid of the large women in the opening sequence.

Ever wondered what 'Schlocky' meant...here it is
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
Barely meets the 'so bad, it's good' requirement, but if a gory old Hammer Studios style movie on bad steroids...in 3D!...is your cup of tea...then sip this one carefully. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend, just to see the look on there face when I see them later. Ha!

This is "Story of Your Life" Amy Adams
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
Based on the short story "Story of Your Life" by the great Ted Chiang, this is Amy Adams movie, expertly guided by director Denis Villeneuve. Some of the tweaks to the original story are slightly annoying, but don't detract from the over all theme. A great supporting cast and great special effects help Adams do some very subtle heavy lifting. Awesome!

Finally a movie that gives the 'quiet' some space.
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
The amount of non-dialog driven moments in this film are refreshing. Show me don't tell me. Joel Edgerton as Richard Loving & Ruth Negga as Mildred Loving are the heart and soul of this true story. This film is one those perfect little gems that don't come along very often. Directed by Jeff Nichols with a sure masters hand, with a great supporting cast.

Korean Zombies on a train...Yeah!
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
There has to be something in the water in Korea, because the amount of great movies coming out of there in the last 20 years...is astounding. Case in point this film, a horror movie with action and heart. Korean culture and idioms play a part in this movie, especially how different generations interact. Watch this before the inevitably terrible US version, I assume is coming soon...

DC animation team does it again!
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is based on the comic series by Peter Milligan and Mikel Janin...it's a mash-up of DC heroes & DC Vertigo characters from the darker side. A Justice League for the supernatural troubles. As usual a great voice cast sells this along with some very serviceable animation. Lots of action and dark scary fun.

Not as funny as I was lead to believe, but...
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: whalter58
Verified Purchase:Yes
Opening sequence that sets up this one man show with one the biggest crowds ever for a Stand-up Comic, is very clever and funny. Kevin Hart is very funny and he has been funnier than much of what is here. Still worth a view but I feel this isn't Hart's "A" game.

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.
