Good movie but more of the same, good 3D

Verified Purchase:Yes
The sequel just seemed more of the same, although there was more story development built on the first. The 3D is always stunning with these animated movies.

Stereo or surround, these speakers offer high performance in a slim, elegant design. High-excursion Twiddler drivers in an Articulated Array~ provide efficient Stereo Everywhere~ performance.

These speakers were ideal for the rear set of my 5.0 sound system. They are easy to setup, clear sound, and not too expensive.

Best Zilla movie in a long time, ok 3d
on November 2, 2014
Posted by: Balo
from St. Cloud
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is by far the best Zilla movie in a long time. It doesn't really try to reinvent Zilla like the crumby 1998 film did; it gets back to old school Zilla. The 3d was so so, possibly b/c there are a lot of dark scenes that don't seem to fare well in 3d.

Great Xmen movie, so so 3D, nice inserts
on October 18, 2014
Posted by: Balo
from St. Cloud
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great Xmen movie in the series that ties the older series with the newer, younger First Class series. It also largely involves Wolverine and a bit of a twisted timeline that leaves a lot open for future films. The 3D was OK and the Best Buy version has nice character card inserts.

Seemed more like history of the scientific method

Verified Purchase:Yes
As an educator I loved the series, but I felt that it had too much history and not as much current cosmos substance. It had me wanting to go back and watch the original series more.

What's great about it: special effects, animation, educational
What's not so great: Too much pining for the old show

A very good Avengers filler
on September 12, 2014
Posted by: Balo
from St. Cloud
Verified Purchase:Yes
A very good movie overall, lots of action. New characters and plot development for future Avengers movies. I don't recall the 3D being overly spectacular. I also felt some of it was a bit predictable, but it's Marvel...
My Best Buy number: 2954216759
What's great about it: Expands the Marvel universe, great action
What's not so great: 3D is so so

Old style Priest
on August 8, 2014
Posted by: Balo

Verified Purchase:Yes
This cd sounds like a throw back to the older days, which some like, but it's not very catchy to me, nothing stands out and Robs voice is losing some of its edge. The bonus cd sounds a bit mediocre as well.

Just what I was looking for!
on July 9, 2014
Posted by: Balo
from St. Cloud
Verified Purchase:Yes
I do a lot of work from home in a recliner with my laptop and the intensive computing makes the machine very hot on my lap. This Chill Mat provides several points of relief for working this way: separates the machine from your lap, cools the bottom of the machine with two usb powered (quiet) fans, can be propped up I the back for better typing angle, it's light and when collapsed can fit easily in my computer case with minimal added weight, the usb cable can access either right or left sides of the computer and can be locked in place when not used, it's also just the right size to fit on my lap between the arms of my recliner!
It still has a solid flat surface on the bottom of the Mat to allow body heat to warm your lap, but it's a huge improvement from being directly on your lap. I haven't measured computer temps to see if the fans really do that much for the machine and it's hard to tell if any air is really flowing out from under it; however, it is also nice to put up on a table for a tilted typing surface or for use in bed.
I bought this on sale over a month ago and recently noted that it was still on sale for about $20, which is about as much as I'd want to pay, but the regular price was closer to $30-40.

Great movie, but too much singing

I'd heard that this was Disney's best movie yet, so my expectations were high. It was a good movie all around, but there was too much singing for my adult viewing tastes.

Add a creative glow to any corner of your space with this 6.6-foot Philips Hue LED light strip. Its multicolored, dimmable lights suit any desired ambience, and it lets you sync its movement with music or movies via third-party apps. Bend, shape and cut this Philips Hue LED light strip for flexible customization.
Will they work with Amazon echo dot
It should. We use it with Echo. It goes through the Philips hub that we have for some LED bulbs around the house and is setup with a phone ap. We also have it linked to the wireless motion detector so that it comes on when we enter the room and don't have to fumble for light switches or tell Echo to turn it on or fumble for our phone.

can this replace a dying fan?
so i think the fan in my laptop is on the way out. is this a workable solution to the problem? i don't have the money to buy a new one and don't feel comfortable shipping it off some place to have it fixed, if possible
The fan in a laptop is internal and directly helps remove heat from the cpu and such. The fans on the Chill Mat are just two low power fans that blow on the bottom of the laptop and I don't think would do as much as an internal fan, so I doubt it would solve your problem.
