One of the Best Cop/Criminal Dramas Ever!
on November 3, 2015
Posted by: TheLaughingMann
from Newark, DE
Verified Purchase:Yes
The dream meeting of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on screen is made true through this epic film. You have a cop and a criminal, both with their rough histories and pasts, trying to get by with the good things in their personal lives while balancing the harshness of their professional ones. The movie has a solid cast, great writing, looks and sounds great, and you get a digital copy with the Blu-ray itself. Worth the price.

Original Spin on Classic Fairy Tale
on August 28, 2015
Posted by: TheLaughingMann
from Newark, DE
Verified Purchase:Yes
This and Mirror Mirror came out the same year. Mirror Mirror's a very lighthearted romp on the whole Snow White deal; this one takes it more seriously. It's a medieval fantasy with Snow White, the Huntsman, the Evil Queen woven in (you also see references to the apple, the mirror, so on). While the endeavor's not amazing, it's still good. Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen truly shines; Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman is good; Kristen Stewart as Snow White is alright. The movie's good and getting it in multiple formats is even better. I give the movie 3.5 stars, and 0.5 for the combo and extras...for the price, it's worth it.

Light on the action, High on the story
on March 13, 2015
Posted by: TheLaughingMann
from Newark, DE
Verified Purchase:Yes
In short, I was not disappointed with the iteration of Mockingjay, Part 1. I needed it, as I will need Part 2, to complete the Steelbook set of the Hunger Games series (which is one of two YA collections I enjoy owning; the other Harry Potter). While the action in the first two movies, combined with the deepening of the second movie's story, sold the series to a lot of people, Mockingjay has been given a splitting, alas. But Part 1 is definitely setting things up for an ending that will no doubt work out accordingly well. The series as a whole is still good and worth the investment.

Great Remaster of a Great Trilogy
on February 6, 2015
Posted by: TheLaughingMann
from Newark, DE
Verified Purchase:Yes
Very few westerns have been buy-worthy on Blu-Ray for me. When this was offered for a great deal, I figured why not. I got this and Once Upon a Time in the West for under $20 brand new. This trilogy had good quality video/audio cleanup on For a Few Dollars More and A Fistful of Dollars. The real treat comes from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. It's been fixed in this release and looks so much better than the initial release. This set does embody as best a remastering as the Man With No Name Trilogy can get. On a different note, Once Upon a Time in the West got a great transfer too. The Sergio Leone westerns are cinematic masterpieces that should be watched and/or owned.

One of the Best Sequels Made

This movie represents how to take a great story, a great world, and expand it immensely. Although the other two movies would be considered canon, this shows how everything can come together into a great sequel.

A Great, if Short Lived Arthurian Series
on January 2, 2015
Posted by: TheLaughingMann
from Newark, DE
Verified Purchase:Yes
While I am saddened that this series couldn't find its footing on Starz (while shows like Da Vinci's Demons, Penny Dreadful, Black Sails, Outlander, Game of Thrones, and so on show that genre shows are still popular), that does not take away from the greatness of the show. The cast is solid. The writing is good. The graphical presentation is nice. You have to read into the details of each character and why they act as they do. What led to the show's demise was that it aired alongside Game of Thrones, and had difficulty drawing in a fanbase on the same night and time slot. Starz, ever since then, has learned from their mistakes and have given us Da Vinci's Demons, Black Sails, and the recently aired Outlander. While it's a hard price to pay for a show like Camelot, I am quite happy with Starz's chances taken with three great shows throughout their annual schedule. And I recommend nobody overlook this show.

You Keep What You Kill...Including Great Deals.
on January 2, 2015
Posted by: TheLaughingMann
from Newark, DE
Verified Purchase:Yes
This set was worth getting at the price. Not only do you get the extended, unrated cuts of the entirety of the Riddick series in great HD transfer, but you get their Digital copies and a fair bit of extras. As someone who missed out on some of the epic deals they did for Terminator last year with its Collection, I made it up for getting Die Hard and Underworld's collections. This year, it was Riddick, Lord of the Rings (Extended), and Alien with their complete sets. Usually, getting them in one set's a good price. This one sweetens the deal and it is easily a must have for a subtle sci-fi series that highlights a solid character.

how do I resume a Cd where I stopped?
i play books on CDs on my Insignia, purchased at Best Buy. When i stop a CD I can't figure out how to make it resume the next day at the same spot. Manual doesn't seem to address this.
I don't think you can. The player has an energy saving feature built in where it will shut itself off after a few minutes of no play. You can pause your place and try to resume it within a few minutes, but if you stop the disc or power the player off, it starts at the beginning.

Only at Best BuyThis portable CD player features an FM tuner with 10 station presets, so you can listen to your favorite stations on the go. The skip protection ensures your favorite tunes aren't interrupted.
In overview, it says skip protection is 248 seconds, in specifications, itsays 45 seconds. Why is that, and which will it really have?
It's hard to say. The skip protection can vary. With regular CDs, it's one way. With MP3-CDs (CDs that are burned with .mp3 files to read), it's another. MP3 CDs are just data discs with files on them. CDs are a copy protected format that are filled with specific data in a certain format (like DVDs and Blu-ray's). The skip protection likely is determined by the disc type being read, how healthy the disc is (an immaculate one versus a scratched up one), so on.
