Nightcrawler

This movie was better than I thought it was going to be. I found it to be a good piece of filmaking, had really good performances, and an intersting charater study as framed by the writer of a detached millenial.

My friends were ranting and raving when this first came out on Starz. I thought it was going to be a poor copy 300. Boy was I wrong!!!
This is the contination from the 1st season (Gods of the Arena came out before this but the story was a prequel to the 1st season), and it doesn't let up. Get the series and enjoy it... it's a great bargin for the hours of entertanment it provides.

I mistaken mentioned that War of the Damned was the continuation from the 1st season in another review... not sure if I can edit post submission... sorry if I confused any reader with that!

As Above, So Below

Hmmm, my first review didn't appear, so this is a re-write of sorts.
This is told witih that "found footage" style, where one of the group is recording for posterity sake (normally not a huge fan of that style).
This had some really clever twists in it and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Overall, pretty good filmaking.

This rousing television series from Starz follows the gladiator Spartacus' attempt to end Rome's tyrannical regime by leading a slave uprising.

A Walk Amongst the Tombstones

I thought this was a really good flick. Not the usual Liam Nieson vehicle so he was able to strech a bit. Good writing, acting, directing, filmaking here. I would recommend it for the film library.

Dracula: The Untold Story
on October 24, 2015
Posted by: Hoppy

Verified Purchase:Yes
Well, then maybe the filmakers should have left it untold as well? Well, I guess it's not that bad. Afterall the filmed looked pretty and was acted and edited well, it's just that the story wasn't compelling. Therefore it felt just kind of flat. If you're interested in it I would look for it on sale.

Cloverfield

Posted by: Hoppy

Verified Purchase:Yes
This uses the "found footage" style of filming where one of the charaters has the video going for the event. I'm not usually a fan of that style of filmaking, but it worked well enough here. Overall not a bad movie for the genre. Had some very good moments in it and it will probably spur some of that good post-movie conversation, "what if that happened tonight?"

Divergent: Insurgent

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked this up just to add it to the series. I'm not really vested in this series as the concept seems pretty weak. It's based on some sci-fi adventure novels for the young teen set. I think the basic premise is way lame and therefore can't connect in a tangible way... it's on the same lameness level as the Hunger Games.

The Gunman
on October 24, 2015
Posted by: Hoppy
from CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Rotten Tomates had this to say: "With an uninspired plot and rote set pieces that are overshadowed by its star's physique, The Gunman proves a muddled misfire in the rapidly aging Over-50 Action Hero genre." I don't disagree, Sean looked good in this flick, but the script was pretty weak and even the best of actors (Penn, and Javier Bardem, Idris Elba), couldn't breathe any real life into it, especially the delayed "love story" angle in it. I woukd only recommend it if you get a great sales price on it.

The Happening

Verified Purchase:Yes
M. Night Shamalan was quoted as saying that he was "making an excellent B-Movie" with this outting. I think he delivered in that aspect. It starts out really good but does peter out a bit. The disaster concept may seem a bit "familiar." Whalberg seemed pretty stiff in this one. Betty Buckley's charaterization was certainly one of the acting stand-outs. Don't expect an Oscar level movie, and get it on sale and you won't be disappointed.

Frigidaire 18.1 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator: Groceries stay chilled and organized in this Frigidaire refrigerator. The humidity-controlled crisper drawers keep food fresh, and a gallon-size door bin fits plenty of large containers.
Did anyone opt to purchase the protection plan?
I didn't. I usually never do as the products usually have issues fairly early on in my experience (which would then be cover by the original warranty) and therefore many products will simply outlast the extended warranty period. However, another way to look at it is that you are simply buying piece of mind and for some folks it's well worth it.

Why is my fridge so noisy?
I have had my new fridge a week, but I've been on a trip most of the time. Now that I'm back, I've noticed how noisy it is -- unusually so. I can hear it all over my house and it's driving me batty. Is there anything that can be done... for example, insulation around the compressor or whatever, or pads on the bottom?
A new frige should be really quite and not heard from another room. Compare the noise from your frige and a neighbors to gage any real difference as a reference before calling for service (but it should be pretty quite).

Refrigerator questions. Energy rebate
Enters savings NYSEG rebate - getting rid of old refriferator . How does this work ? Does NYSEG need to come out to assure the old refriferator is still in working order ? Jodi
Normally it should be running so that the recycling company can verify that it's working (it just needs to get cold). Once they verify, you should be given a form that is used to submit for the rebate.

You can swap the handle over to either side along with the hinge, so it can be either right or left hand opening.
