Based on the beloved best-selling book comes this profoundly moving story of a girl who transforms the lives of those around her during World War II, Germany. Although Liesel (Sophie Nelisse) is illiterate when she is adopted by a German couple (Oscar Winner Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson), her adoptive father encourages her to learn to read. Ultimately, the power of words helps Liesel and Max (Ben Schnetzer), a Jew hiding in the family's home, escape from the events unfolding around them in this extraordinary, acclaimed film directed by Brian Percival (DOWNTON ABBEY).

This one was less for me and more for “let’s watch something I wanna watch.” I caught myself looking at my phone a few times because I wasn’t really drawn in, but that could be me.

I was kept locked in from almost the beginning. A really well done film with highs and lows. Not the best of the best, but definitely entertaining

First Nintendo since NES
on March 30, 2018
Posted by: arilab
from Sherman Oaks, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first Nintendo product since the NES. All other systems have just seemed far superior from Genesis days, on.
I’m a PS guy, and love my PS4 exclusives.
I am blown away by the Switch. It doesn’t compare graphically to the PS4, as I bought NBA 2k for both, but the fun factor is absolutely there! On the go, I notice ZERO difference in playability. Docked, I opt for the PS4 version.
With that said, I bought it for the Switch exclusives. Mario Odysessy and Zelda are two of the most fun games I have played since, well, Super Mario 3.
I haven’t turned on my PS4 since I bought the Switch. I haven’t purchased Far Cry 5 because I can’t atop playing Zelda.

The highest rated* annual sports title of this console generation returns with NBA 2K18, featuring unparalleled authenticity and improvements on the court. *According to 2008 - 2016 Metacritic.com. Internet download and Micro SD card required (minimum 32GB recommended).

Tons of fun

I’m still an avid 2k player on my PS4, but recently bought a switch for traveling and decided to get this.
It pretty much plays the same. Getting used to the button layout.
Graphics are obviously down from the PS4. They basically look like the graphics on my iPhone or iPad for 2k, but slightly better. Doesn’t stop the fun factor thought. Hoping we can can some more sports games like Madden and NHL!

I haven’t owned a Nintendo system since the very first one. I moved to Sega then PS.
This game (along with others) has made me a Nintendo fan again. Haven’t turned on my PS4 since I bought this 3 weeks ago.
I can’t explain it, but this game has every element that an RPG should have.
Get. It.

I played this game in full a month ago or so. When I completed it, I sold it on eBay.
I love this game so much that when it went on sale for $39.99, I bought it again!
This takes me back to the fun I had playing SMB 3!

Nest Protect reliably detects and alerts you to the presence of smoke or carbon monoxide in your home. The alarm speaks to you in a calm, clear, human voice, telling you the location of the danger. It also provides smartphone alerts and battery status updates to help protect your home. This hardwired version is suitable for homes with existing hardwired smoke or CO detectors.

Significant Upgrade and Price
on February 3, 2018
Posted by: arilab
from Sherman Oaks, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is not for everyone. The price is, well, astronomical compared to a carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector together. But, it provides much more than just that.
If you have smart devices in your home, in particular Nest, it will interact with your nest, which will send you notifications in your phone or smart device. For me, my sprinkler system is set up with my nest thermostat. If the smoke detector sends a signal to my thermostat or my thermostat defects heat, my sprinklers turn on outside my house. Obviously doesn’t help what’s inside, but will save it from spreading to neighbors.
Fairly easy install if you are replacing another smoke detector that is hardwired, and you know how to turn your power off.

Answers all my needs
on January 5, 2018
Posted by: arilab
from Sherman Oaks, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
The price is steep and probably not necessary, but it answers all my needs. I needed something that controlled 7 devices, connected to my smart home devices, and worked through a closet door.
This does all of that. I’ve had the 700 and still use the 650 in two rooms of my house, but my living room has tons of devices. It works flawlessly with everything from my ps4, to fire tv, Apple TV, even my home security system.
The price is too much compared to others, but far less than if you went to an audio/video speciality store and bought a $400 remote.

It’s good.

I’m happy to finally have a playable Star Wars game on current gen consoles. Way better than the last battlefront. Story mode is pretty short, but fun. Took me 3 days at about 2-3 hours at a time.
Online play is fine. Not great. Definitely better than the last one. But something is missing. It just feels as though your playing the same thing over and over.
Honestly, wait till it’s on sale.

the original chromecast powered via USB; appears new chromecast needs A/C power -is that correct? or, do you have the option of powering from an available USB on the TV (kind of sucks if i need to plug into A/C)

You can still use usb
