Fantastic keyboard with an equally fantastic price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Like most other people, I reluctantly, but successfully made the transition to typing on a tablet screen with my fingers. However, it's never felt as natural or as efficient as typing on a keyboard. For some reason, I've always missed the speed and accuracy of typing on a traditional keyboard. I currently own a Microsoft Surface and never felt as if the Touch Cover was worth the price and I'm not a fan of pliable, 'rubbery' keyboards.
This HP Bluetooth keyboard fit my need perfectly. It features a Windows home button that I find extremely useful. Plenty of alternate key functions that make using my tablet a breeze, standard function options, and a great solid build.
It's light, easy to store, and extremely responsive. However, when turning it off and on, there is a slight initial lag waiting for it to be recognized by my tablet, but that might just be a Bluetooth connectivity issue, so I don't really fault the keyboard. I can move a good bit of distance from my tablet and it's still responsive and the battery life has been great.
To be perfectly honest, I really have no complaints about this device. After picking up keyboard and a mouse, it almost mimics my laptop or desktop experience. Wonderful investment.

A fresh spin on an old franchise

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've never exactly been a huge fan of the James Bond line of movies. He was an extremely heterosexual male, he slept with several women, the bad guy was introduced, and James Bond vanquished him. Same story line. Same film. Day in and day out. It was quite refreshing that this film had the courage to put all of those things on its head. In Skyfall, James finds himself old, rusty, and lacking confidence. A antagonist that challenges the effectiveness of the overly heterosexual brute and makes 007 dig deep to overcome him. The film also puts several things important to the franchise on the line. It makes the film have consequences if James Bond were to fail. And that's what makes the film so enticing. You're actually afraid that James may not do it this time. Truly on the edge of your seat entertainment, and probably the best Bond film in ages. I'd recommend this film to Bond fans new and old. Please go check it out.

What's great about it: The film is able to take an objective new perspective on the 007 lore.
What's not so great: You still know that James Bond will win. He always does.

Your right foot twitches with anticipation — and maybe just a little bit of pre-race jitters — ready to push the pedal to the metal, sending your mechanical beast lurching ahead of your competition. A single drop of sweat drips between your creased brow and drops from the end of your clenched jaw, splattering onto the steering wheel where your hands are tightly clamped. You've learned the art of tunnel vision — blocking out the drivers to your left and right — seeing only the expanse of track before you. The starting flag hangs limply in the breezeless air. The roar of the excited, frenzied crowd is drowned out by the pounding of blood between your ears. You were born ready for this moment. The only option is first.Prepare yourself for a thrilling, adrenaline-pumping automotive experience with Forza Motorsport 5, which offers leading simulation and next-generation graphics engines, so you feel as if you're really strapped in the seat — zooming around some of the world's most legendary racetracks. Let your opponents know you mean business by using your vehicle to push them into the wall — leaving in your wake a tangle of metal and busted parts with high-resolution damage modeling. Continually hone and develop your skills by facing an ever-evolving network of lifelike competitors with Drivatar technology, and even compete against your friends' top times. With an Xbox LIVE Gold membership (not included), you can enjoy exhilarating multiplayer races with Smart Match matchmaking, which pairs you with individuals who complement your own unique way of driving. When the race is finished, upgrade your vehicle by downloading from a diverse array of globally recognized cars — months before they're even available to consumers in the showroom, and make sure your car reflects your own personal style by giving it a custom paint job. Do you have what it takes to race some of the world's fastest cars?

The definitive racing game

Verified Purchase:Yes
The inception of Gran Turismo was the the onset of the 'serious' racing game. A title that took racing to new horizons. After several sequels, Forza came about. And this latest release is no exception. Physics. Graphics. And tuning options. This game is a racing enthusiasts dream. Sony did its best to hide the fact that the newest Gran Turismo was only available for the PS3 and not the PS4, well, the new Forza IS available for a current generation console and you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not checking it out. You won't be sorry.

A classic from an expert director

Verified Purchase:Yes
I first encountered this film in college, and while I have always been a fan of Stanley Kubrick, it took me a few years to come around to liking this film. I now view it through a different lens. It's never the goal for the viewer to like or identify with Alex, at least, that's my opinion. But rather we're to view the film as a whole of society. Our need to fix things and people through any means necessary. That a society could create such heinous individuals, but society itself becomes just as heinous in its efforts to correct these beings. It all seems a bit hypocritical in scope. I still don't know if I 'like' this film, but I do enjoy the conversation that it sparks. And that says a lot when you come out of a film wanting to talk about it.

A Sci-Fi classic in every sense of the word
on March 7, 2014
Posted by: FlyBoyNights
from Greensboro, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Everything about this film is classic. The sets. The style. The alien. This film set the standard in so many aspects. I personally love Ridley Scott's approach to the film. Controlled. Tension filled. Waiting for the right moment. Poised for attack. This film is lead with such expertise. It can still stand up to the sci-fi films of today. I wrote an additional review for Aliens, and I'll say the same thing in this one as well, just stick with these originals and avoid any of the films after Resurrection.
Do yourself a favor and check this film out. Due to its age, it can be purchased almost anywhere for a great price. Then realize that this film was made in the 70's. Yes, the 70's! But that didn't stop them from creating excellent special effects, makeup, costumes, and sets. A film that was so ahead of its time. Simply put, a classic.

A worthy sequel and a rewarding new approach

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a very big fan of the original film and so i was pretty resistant to direction that James Cameron would take it. He and Ridley are two totally different directors and that's immediately apparent. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. What Cameron does offer is a fast paced thrill ride that's never boring. His films usually feature a few cliche character, and this is no exception, but they fit where they should. The production design is so much larger than the original and the scope is immense. It's an impressive film and an even more impressive sequel. Stick with these and avoid any of the films after Resurrection.

A surprisingly convincing and entertaining film
on March 7, 2014
Posted by: FlyBoyNights
from Greensboro, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I typically avoid zombie films because too many are made these days and more importantly, too many of them are just so awful. I've always felt that Brad Pitt had an eye or for making good films OR he knows what will make him buckets of money. With this endeavor, I feel as if he achieved both. From the very beginning, you can tell that this film was going to be handled with an amount of class that most zombie films lack. I won't give away too much of the story, but the film respects itself. It's not silly, it's not hokey, and it avoids ridiculous explanations for how zombies come to exist. It's just a well made film. Exciting, to the point, and not too bad to look at. I would recommend this film to those who love zombie films and those who do not, because you may just find something here that you like.

Effective, haunting, amazing...

Verified Purchase:Yes
Considering that this film currently stands as the 3rd lowest grossing best picture Oscar winner, I was worried that many viewers found reasons to avoid this film. I also chose to opt out of the theater experience, but purchased it the very day it arrived on the home market. I certainly see why it was avoided, its so unflinchingly realistic. Everything. Every aspect. This film does not let you avoid the brutalities that took place during the slave trade. However, every aspect of the film is done with an undeniable amount of mastery. The acting is superb. The scenery and locations are picturesque. The story, while simple, is filled to the brim with characters with extreme depth, love, horror, or indifference. I don't wish to give anything away for those who have not yet seen it, but do yourself a favor and purchase this. It's an instant classic. Regardless of how you feel about the subject matter, you'll be in awe of a film that really is at the peak of the craft. This will be in a cornerstone for future filmmakers to come.

A superbly acted film about a seldom seen topic.

Posted by: FlyBoyNights

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've always been a very big fan of independent filmmaking. I've also been an even bigger fan of films about real characters that I feel the average viewer can identify with. This film deals with the topic of alcoholism in a mature manner that I feel is both enlightening and saddening. The characters are fun, relatable, and you can almost completely understand their slippery descent into their alcohol driven excess. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a movie that's willing to delve into a strong topic with more grace and effort than most mainstream, Hollywood film.
However, if you're not used to low budget filmmaking, or require that 'escapism' that most general consumers seem to enjoy so much, you may want to skip this one. It's a great film, but may not be for you.

A wondrous, whimsical animated gem.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I knew very little about this film but many friends suggested it to me. And I couldn't be any happier that they did. The animation is unique, delightful, and refreshing. The use of simple expressions and gestures to express their feelings is downright genius. This is a small human story that I feel many people can identify with on a heartfelt level. However, those used to traditional styles of story delivery and dialogue in animated films may be left disappointed with this. There is almost no dialogue to speak of. While I thoroughly enjoyed this aspect, and what I feel set it apart from most films these days, others may view as a hindrance. In the end, i wholeheartedly recommend this film to casual and more dedicated film viewers alike.
