Handy cable at a great price

I needed this because my computer modem is in my bedroom but my TV and DVD player are in my living room. This handy ethernet cable allows me to download updates to my electronics' firmware without having to patch together a series of shorter cables. Plus I discovered one of the short ethernet cables I was using was a Cat-5, not Cat 5-e, so this is an upgrade. Great quality, very solid thickness and connections. It was on sale and I had a $5 Best Buy rewards coupon so it was practically free! Can't beat that.

"Bring out your dead!"

Monty Python In Search of the Holy Grail is one of my all time favorites and I've owned VHS and DVD versions for years. This blu-ray version is a nice upgrade. The color and sound is definitely improved but it is the exceptional detail that makes this worth owning. You can see every kink and ripple in the metal armor costumes. There are a few extended scenes that aren't really needed but provide some additional chuckles. I have not viewed all of the special features but in one I did Terry Jones explained that the reason there are so few out takes and deleted scenes is they needed almost all of the film they shot just to complete the movie. At $9.99 this was a real value. If you are Holy grail fan this is the version for you.

Mess free ink cartridge replacement

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love the Brother MFC-J475DW printer I bought to replace the Canon printer that served me faithfully for 8 years. The one less than perfect aspect of the Canon was replacing the ink cartridges was often a messy affair. Many of the cartridges leaked and the changeout process left stains on my hands and inside the copier. The Brother cartridges are not only better sealed but easier to install. They just snap in place and feature a release tab that make them easy to remove. Unlike the Canon where you had to reach inside the machine to replace the cartridges the Brother has a door on the front panel that provides access to the ink well. I have yet to find any ink on my hands after replacing one of the cartridges. The quality of the ink colors and the number of copies from each cartridge is adequate for my needs. The price of each cartridge or multipack, especially when you include the 15% Best Buy members discount, is competitive with other brands. I've been very happy so far.

Upgrade for a classic

I saw this film when it was first shown in the theaters in 1963 and have been a fan ever since. Great adventure story that is mostly true to the facts if you read the book "The Great Escape" the film is based on. The tunnels really did feature tracks, a rope pulled cart, and electric lights. Of course Hollywood embellished some aspects but the film is still exciting and this blu ray version represents an upgrade. I bought this to replace the standard CD version I owned and can report the colors are more vibrant and the image clarity improved. The details of the uniforms and barracks interiors really stand out. For my money the most noticeable improvement is in the sound quality. Dialog and ambient camp sounds are clearer and the wonderful opening score is really thrilling. The only down side is the extra features are not upgraded to hi def quality but that is a quibble. Overall I am happy with this purchase.

I've been very happy with my purchase of the Brother MFC-J475DW printer not the least of which is due to the easy to install and replace ink cartridges. They just snap in and out and don't leak like the previous model I owned. This makes recycling easy. The cartridges are pretty economical too. They are less expensive than most and last fairly long. I recommend them to anyone considering a new printer.

The fifth and sixth seasons of The Adventures of Superman close out Warner Home Video's DVD release of the series in the same grand style seen on the earlier season installments. As with Seasons Three and Four, which had short production schedules of 13 episodes each, owing to the switch to color shooting, there are a total of 26 episodes in the five-platter package, with all of the bonus materials this time confined to the fifth disc. The full-screen (1.33-to-1) film-to-video transfers are, if anything, generally slightly better and more consistent in these two rounds of episodes than on the previous color releases, and run rings around the old laserdisc releases, but there's still considerable variation in color tones between shots and scenes in the same episodes, owing to weaknesses in the preservation of original materials. Some shots (starting with the main-title sequence) have a depth and richness that approaches Technicolor, while others have a pale, dupey quality, for which the producers have done a fairly good job of compensating in the transfer itself. The sound is consistent, and set at a healthy volume, and the same easy-to-use menu seen on earlier volumes is present on each of these discs. The DVD volume closes out with a close look at the character of Jimmy Olsen as portrayed by Jack Larson, who has participated in the supplementary sections of all of these releases -- the interview and factual material are good as far as they go, but one heartily wishes that someone had drawn Larson out on what he learned as an actor on the series from director Tommy Carr, who helmed a major part of the first two seasons, and also from some of the veteran co-stars and guest stars; the most entertaining moment in the entire round of supplements derives from this volume, and a fan reaction to a dual role that he portrayed in one episode of the series. Given the usual track record on vintage series supplements for DVD, it's difficult to complain too loudly about the shortcomings, although one does hope that Larson will write an autobiography someday that really addresses his work, the series, and his character, which is one of the most memorable portrayals in early television.

I loved the Superman series as a kid (that was when the original episodes were first broadcast). The first few seasons were in black and white but by the 5th and 6th years they were in glorious color. This DVD includes all of the episodes and a very interesting interview with Jack Larson (Jimmy Olson) who recently passed away. I remember many of the story lines. The stories vary from very imaginative and entertaining to kind of lame but overall they are great fun. One element I noticed is the level of humor is more noticeable in these episodes and there is a lot more smiling and friendly banter between the characters. George Reeves' Clark Kent is much more relaxed and clearly enjoying himself than in the earlier seasons. The major complaint is many of the scenes contain washed out color. Otherwise the sound is great and it makes a good choice for those of us who grew up watching the amazing adventures of Superman.

Nice ink cartridge

I recently purchased a Brother MFC-J475DW printer to replace an 8 year old Canon that finally died. While I really liked the Canon the Brother is easier to use and one reason is the ink cartridges. The cartridges just plug into the easily accessible ink port with no mess. Unlike the cartridges for my previous printer these do not leak. They are also slightly cheaper. I am very happy with this purchase.

Very nice basic printer.

Basic home printer. Easy set up. Very fast print time. The print color is OK (perhaps there is a setting I could tweak to enhance the images but it is adequate for my needs). I don't have need of the fax or wireless features so I cannot comment on those but it prints and scans documents very well. The paper loading tray is easy to use and out of sight. The ink cartridges are very easy to install and this printer was rated as one of the best as far as frugal ink usage. I have yet to purchase replacement cartridges but compared with the prior printer I owned the cartridges are much cheaper. I have not yet experienced any problems like paper jams. It takes only a few seconds to be ready for use after it is turned on and there is a feature where you can set an automatic shutdown after a certain length of inactivity. I bought this on sale for less than $60 and am very happy with the purchase.

Great DVD of a classic

You know the story already and this version does not add any deleted scenes or provide an alternate ending or the like. Rather it is an excellent transfer to blu ray. The images are very detailed and the color can't be beat for a 50 year old movie. The sound is an upgrade over that found on a standard DVD. My favorite parts of the early 007 films are the fabulous styles and beautiful paint jobs of the vehicles and this disc really highlights them. I have not yet viewed the extra features but they look interesting. If you are a fan of the early James Bond films and want to enjoy them in more current visual quality then this is the version for you.

One of several versions of the movie.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw this film in a theater when it was first released in 1982. I enjoyed it then but was confused about some of the plot because there was no explanatory narration and the ending was so abrupt that it left you scratching your head over what just happened. This version is closer to the original I saw plus it has a few extended scenes (that frankly add nothing to the plot but are fun to watch because they allow the viewer to explore a little more of the fascinating world of the future the director created). Over the years I've seen several "new" versions including those with the lead character's narration and became so used to hearing his explanations that it was somewhat jarring to view a version without it. As a dedicated Blade Runner fan I am OK with that but admit that someone seeing the film for the first time might ask why the lead character reacted a certain way, or why his antagonist conveniently dies without killing Deckard, or why Deckard was leaving with Rachel if she supposedly had a programmed life span, etc? I also found the letterbox style a little underwhelming. This is a movie that demands the entire screen be filled with the amazing visuals of 2019 Los Angeles but this is just a quibble. Overall this is a worthwhile version of the movie.

What's great about it: Visual transfer and sound.
What's not so great: Lack of narration and it uses the original ending.
