Great Card - Fast and Reliable!

I use this for my GoPro Hero 4 Silver. These cards are fast enough to record 4k (though the GoPro Hero 4 Silver only does up to 2.7k) and there is plenty of space for videos and thousands of timelapse pictures. I prefer the Sandisk brand as they are very reliable and tough. Recommended!

Good old fashioned movie fun with great effects!

Another hit from Marvel Studios! And this one is just plain fun! Even if you have no idea who these comic book characters are, you are sure to enjoy this film if you love adventure, action and good writing. One of the things I love about Blu-Rays on my HDTV is when a modern film comes out on disc, the digital transfers look pristine! And this film is no exception. The audio and video quality are superb. The extras were quite enjoyable but I do wish there were more. This is fun film with exciting visuals, an engaging and fantastical story and a real heartbeat. I recommend you pick this up!

My Favorite Disaster Movie!
on July 6, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not going to lie. I love this movie! I love the story, the 2 dimensional characters, Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum's performances, the special effects and David Arnold's rousing musical score! Aliens invade, they attack us and we come together to kick their a**! And I love watching it happen again and again! This movie is FUN!
I was happy to finally upgrade to Bluray so I could watch this on my HDTV. The image and sound are great! But where are all the extras from the 2-Disc DVD set? The extended cut and the cool special features (save for 2 commentary tracks, a trivia track and lame game) are missing!
Well, for $8.00 it is a fair price for an almost bare-bones release. I just hope this film gets re-released with all the goodies it came with previously.
So, if you are as big a fan of this movie as I am then get this High Def release! You won't regret it!

What's great about it: Superb suspense and fun/feel good action!
What's not so great: This bluray is missing a ton of extras from the DVD set!

Ahh, the 80's was a wonderful time in the history of cinema. You could proudly (and foolishly sometimes) wear your heart on your sleeve and be as imaginative and quirky as you wanted to be, without the ubiquitous cynicism and terminal irony that runs rampant today, infecting and crushing your story. And thus darkish and buoyant fantasy films like Labyrinth were born (directed by Jim Henson and written by Terry Jones of Monty Python). Fun, campy, enchanting, inspiring, a bit airy and a bit dark, and very imaginative, are the best words to describe this "Alice in Wonderland" type story that mixes Jim Henson's amazing puppetry with fantastical and phantasmagorical set pieces, David Bowie's rich and silky singing, and young and beautiful Jennifer Connelly making her way through a world of oddities and wonder.
Since most special effects are done with CGI these days, Labyrinth is a welcomed nostalgic return to the skillful use of practical effects (though there is some prominent green screen).
This Bluray is a handsome step up from the DVD in both sound and video. It is not the cleanest image but it looks fantastic in 1080! There are also some nice extras on this disc.
Labyrinth is more Grimm's than a Disney type fairy tale. I wholeheartedly recommend that you introduce your child to this magical, musical and imaginatively dark and fun film!

Works perfectly on my windows 7 PC and Macbook. I use this when clients bring over their laptops and I don't want to use their scroll pads for extended periods of time. Feels smooth and responsive and comfortable in hand. I love the low battery light, the low-profile dongle and the grippy material on the sides.
This won't give you all the control you might want for gaming or have all the cool features of a Logitech mouse, but it is a great value.
If you need a simple but effective wireless mouse, this is a great buy!

What's great about it: Easy install. Works great! Some nice features.
What's not so great: Not as feature laden as a Logitech. (Duh.)

Fun action Sci-fi!
on July 3, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
The film that launched a massive franchise! But this is a film that loves it action and jaw dropping set pieces more than its story and characters. It's a lot of fun but can also feel like different genres all vying for your attention at times. You get the mystery, the action, the horror, the sci-fi and the adventure, all in one film. This shifts in tone feel odd at times. But still, it's hard not to enjoy the spectacle and epic adventure.
For the price this Bluray is a steal! The image and sound are fantastic and there are a ton of great extras!

Wonderful film about loss, survival and going on.

We all lose things in life. We lose our way, our friends, our family, our foundations. And we are all put to the test in unique and interesting ways. Chuck Noland's test transforms him. He arrives on the island a cast away. In the end he...well, watch the film and see for yourself. See if you don't feel a difference in your world view by the end of this movie.
This is one of my all time favorite films! And it looks and sounds incredible on this bluray! Too bad it is missing some of the juicy extras that were on the 2-Disc DVD special edition. Still, it is worth owning just to see and hear this amazing film in glorious HD! Unforgettable performance by Tom Hanks, wonderful direction by the always thoughtful Robert Zemeckis and a hauntingly sparse and beautiful score by Alan Silvestri.

Entertaining and at times a very engrossing film!

David O. Russel's making of documentary is worth the price of this disc alone! Future film makers take note! His video diaries are very revealing about the business and process of making a movie.
As for the film itself, the performances are great! The story is also fun and effectively engrossing. The director has crafted a fine film here! The bluray looks and sounds terrific! And there are plenty of entertaining disc extras to peak your interest in Russel's film making journey. I highly recommend diving into this Blu-ray.

A great and gritty American film!

Verified Purchase:Yes
There are certain actors whose movies always entertain. I've never seen a bad Denzel Washington movie. Training Day is such a powerhouse of a film with Denzel as the duplicitous and sinister heavy - he won an Oscar for this role! However, the direction, cinematography, editing, screenplay and sound design are all superb! And this Bluray is a fine presentation of all those efforts. I highly recommend this movie! But it is not an easy ride...

Amazing little device!

Verified Purchase:Yes
For the price this is the casting device to get! It installs easily and is very discreet (it plugs into an HDMI port in the back of your HDTV)! Set up was easy. If you have a strong WiFi signal you should have no problems streaming HD videos. I love that I can control everything through my phone, tablet or computer! Lots of great apps to use with this device. More added all the time! The best app has to be AllCast! Download that app and you can stream almost anything on your phone! I highly recommend this product!
