My blu-ray died after 6 years of great viewing. I decided to stop at Best Buy and purchase a new one. I spoke with a great sales person who explained the differences and features of the multiple machines. I asked him for his personal choice and he suggested this machine. It happened to be the one I was leaning toward. As I went to pick it up he said, better deal, this is an Open-Box and it is discounted. I asked about what that meant, he explained the possible reasons and said this one was a return and was checked by Geek Squad. I purchased it. It played Blu-rays great, problem was playing a standard DVD - the sound would not work. All it did was play this high pitch screech and static. I exchanged that machine and now the new one WORKS GREAT! I love the quick start feature and the automatic updates. No machine will last forever, they all are about 3-5 years of life and done. Try this one, great picture, sound and nice features!
Yes, it is a cliche Christmas film however, it really is a good film. The film is a little slow at the beginning but it does get going. It's a bringing the family together after Mom dies for one last celebration before he sells the family home. 5 days is together, let the bonding begin! One last item, this film has a great cast and great chemistry!
I had not seen this movie in the past but I had read the book and figured that since the book was good I would give it a try. The movie centers around a cat and is used in 3 different tales. Even though the movie was from 1985 it still is a really good film.
In looking for another "scary/suspense" movie to add to my collection, I thought I would give this a try. Wrong, not only was the bad but the movie itself was pretty lame. The plot could be figured out almost right away and they dragged out things that they didn't need too.
Didn't hear anything about this prior to seeing it in the store. After reading the back, thought I would give it a chance. The story was a good one. The acting left a bit to be desired. It's one of those movies that you will watch once and done. Should have ended differently. It was good...but...eh.
Didn't hear to much about this movie. Seen it in store and decided to give it a shot, glad I did. Good story line, good acting/actors. Ending left it open for a sequel. Give it a chance.
This action-adventure chronicles the escapades of a swashbuckling and brutal pirate, Captain Flint (Toby Stephens), his shipmates and his rivals in the early 18th-century Caribbean. The series is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," and is set 20 years before the events depicted in that literary classic. While bounding the Spanish Main and jolly-rogering across the seas, Flint accepts a young recruit, John Silver (Luke Arnold), to join his crew, while later quashing a mutiny, questing for treasures, broadsiding other pirate vessels and exchanging fire with the ships of the British Navy who have been charged with blowing Flint out of the water.
I was given Black Sails Season 2 for Christmas, so I ran to Best Buy and purchased season 1. Black Sails is STARZ network series (which I had not seen before). But, my wife and I love historical type pieces. This is an EXCELLENT series! Do yourself a favor and purchase the seasons. Black Sails is set about 2 decades prior to Robert Louis Stevenson's book Treasure Island. The series centers around Captain Flint and his crew of pirates sailing near New Providence Island. From episode one you'll be hooked!
Based on the adaptation of a BBC miniseries of the same name, House of Cards is set in Washington, D.C., where democrat Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) serves as the House Majority Whip and represents South Carolina's 5th congressional district. When he is not appointed as Secretary of State as expected, Underwood vows to exact revenge upon those whom he feels betrayed him. Robin Wright, Kate Mara, and Corey Stoll also star. House of Cards earned nine nominations for original online only web television for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2013.
Once you start watching you won't want to stop! Great binge watch! Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright's are awesome! My wife and I had been told by a friend to give it a try, we are hooked! You will defiantly want the other seasons.
This release compiles all ten episodes of The White Queen a made-for-TV adaptation of books from the historical fiction writer Philippa Gregory. The story concerns three women who each attempt to gain and solidify their power during the War of the Roses.
Great adaptation of Philippa Gregory's book. BBC did a wonderful view point from the women's perspective. If you like historical drama, you will really enjoy this series.
