Best Taylor and Burton performances

I rank this as the best performances by Taylor and Burton when they were at the height of their careers. Both give great performances in this Albee play adapted for the screen.

Prepare to go to hell and back again in this double feature installment of one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time from horror master Clive Barker! See how it all began in the classic original HELLRAISER where Pinhead is introduced to the world, and the equally brilliant HELLBOUND sequel that proves there are no limits! HELLRAISER (1987, 94 Mins.) From horror master Clive Barker comes this chilling nightmare featuring the first appearance of the hideous, demonic Pinhead. When Kirsty Cotton's family moves into their ancestral home, they are terrorized by the resurrected corpse of her uncle, who requires the flesh of murdered innocent victims in order to become whole and alive again. A creepy, thrillingly perverse tale straddling heaven and hell, extreme pleasure and unbearable pain, HELLRAISER will haunt your dreams. HELLBOUND HELLRAISER 2 (1988, 99 Mins.) In 1988, it emerged as the shocking follow-up to the film that redefined the face of horror. Two decades later, it remains the most brutally original sequel in horror film history. Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence and Kenneth Cranham co-star in this hit sequel from executive producer Clive Barker that experiences the flesh like no other. The time to play has come again Surrender yourself to the infernal labyrinth of HELLBOUND HELLRAISER II.

These are the best two Hellraiser films and both are horror classics. The other films in this series do not come near the quality of these two.

Classic Campy film
on April 17, 2018
Posted by: MikePags2
from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have seen this film and know about the fight between Crawford and Davis, then this is pure camp. If you have not seen this film then you should watch the TV series Feud which is 6 episodes devoted to the fight between these actresses and the film Mommy Dearest for background. Baby Jane still plays the movie houses that frequently show old films. This film on the same level as Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Monitor upgrade
on February 10, 2018
Posted by: MikePags2
from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
After reading various reviews on monitors I upgraded to this one and it looks spectacular. The monitor settings can be done through the joystick button or software depending on your preference. If you are new to a high rez monitor, you will be surprised at the clarity without a blinding glare. There are settings for video, games, etc., depending on your use. The only downside is the lack of speakers for some people, but I do not see this as a critical factor for purchase.

This is the charger you need instead the standard one that comes with iphones. My charges quick with this adapter. There is a higher watt charger so that would be quicker, but this one works fine.

Best screen protector

Verified Purchase:Yes
When I buy a new phone, the first thing I do is get this screen protector. It keeps my phone looking new. I have not dropped my phone so I cannot say if this screen protector works for that problem. But it is always better to have a screen protector.

![M*A*S*H [DVD] [1970]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
This single-disc edition of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H is a pared-down version of the two-disc set that is also still available. The film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves Altman's original aspect ratio. This is a film that really plays terribly when seen in pan-and-scan. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while a second English soundtrack and a French soundtrack have both been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Altman. He discusses what it was like filming on the Fox set at a time when two other war films were being created, the initial tension on the set between himself and his two lead actors, how the film came together in the editing room, and various other aspects of the production. The two-disc set offers more whistles and bells, but this release is an outstanding way to acquire this fine film.

Better than the last episode
on May 21, 2017
Posted by: MikePags2
from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although this is not the best episode, it is much better than the last two chapters. Star Wars newest episode improves the story line, but it still misses the mark for action and some of the humorous characters of the first three chapters. This chapter is good but not great.

Quality and speed
on February 24, 2017
Posted by: MikePags2
from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am not an avid gamer, but I purchased this computer because of the quality of construction and speed. Alienware is an excellent build with speed in mind. The OS is on a SSD drive so I pulled the 1T HD and put in a 3T drive for more storage. It was easy to change the HD but I was surprised to find the machine has room for two more SSD drives on the bottom of the chassis. This is not in the documentation there is room to add drives. My only disappointment so far is that the DVD drive is a thin plastic drive rather than a standard DVD drive. I am very impressed with the USB 3.1 port which I have connected to an external drive docking station that is made for this type of USB port. I recommend this machine even if you are not a gamer because of all the features.

How many watts is the power supply and what can it support? What type of motherboard is it?
According to techradar.com it is an 850W power supply: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-mac-desktops/alienware-aurora-r5-1323301/review. When I opened the case I did not notice the power supply. The motherboard is not a big name brand; it is labeled alienware so I do not know who makes the board. I would note that it is very easy to replace a hard drive so I removed the 1T drive and replaced it with a 3T drive. The OS is on the SSD so there is no worry about reinstalling the system. In addition, I would note there are two slots on the bottom of the chassis that allows you to install two additional SSD's, but that is not in the specs. There are only two main issues with this computer, the DVD drive is a thin drive made from plastic so you cannot replace the internal DVD drive with any store bought drive, nor is there another slot for another DVD drive. The second issue is that the cooler is partially obstructed according to reports on various sites. Inside the case, the internals are cramped but you can get to the video board and hard drive. The bios is UEFI with a secure boot and I had difficulty getting into the bios using the F2 key but you can use win 10 options for recovery to get in to the bios. You will have to turn off the secure boot option if you want to boot from a dvd or USB. If you can live with the quirks, then it is worth having a very fast computer.

The NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi USB 3.0 Adapter with high-gain antennas provides 3x faster access than USB 2.0. Wirelessly connect your notebook or desktop computer to an 11ac network for applications such as lag-free, multiple HD streams throughout your home.
How is this product overall in terms of playing games online (MMORPG) ?
Just built my desktop, debating if I should ran an ethernet cable or just buy this. How is your experience so far with this product?
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
I have no problem with speed using this adapter but I can't say if there will be any lag playing games online. But I have no connection issue with this adapter.
