For 19 year old Jay, fall should be about school, boys and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Jay and her teenage friends must now find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind in this critically-acclaimed chiller that Bloody Disgusting calls the scariest movie of 2015.

80s Horror Homage
on September 9, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
It Follows is a 80s set horror film heavily influenced by films like Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street. The plot without getting too far into it is centered around some sort of sexually transmitted curse, the STD parallel is denied by the director altho I would argue is still valid, as once contracted a mysterious entity will follow you relentlessly at a brisk walking pace manifesting itself as a person possibly some one you know our once knew, and when it does finally catch up you die... Badly. I love the tone and atmosphere of the film, there are implied histories between the characters that keep you engaged and interesting sub themes of parental irresponsibility's and urban decay, and even in the end trust and sacrifice. Check it out one rainy night.

Stale

By all accounts this should be good a great writer and artist collaborating on DC's flagship title of the new 52 but overall its a stale uninspired mess, a retelling of the justice leagues origin story where all the characters feel like caricatures of themselves. And don't get me started on the movie it takes already stale material and make it somehow even less entertaining, with small tweaks to dialog and a weird sl*t shaming theme added to wonder woman's story, that wasn't present in the book not to mention Shazam... they switch out Aquaman for Shazam in the movie, and I know Aquaman's not that popular but Shazam horn dogging over Wonder Woman woooof. I mean at least Aquaman had sharks, there was one thing tho there is a scene with the Green Lantern gloating before getting back handed to the floor, where these two aliens jump in and pummel him into the ground then jump out as quick as they arrived that unintentionally made me laugh out loud.

This release combines the previous separately released two parts of the animated adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns, and includes a documentary that focuses on Frank Miller's work creating the original influential graphic novel.

Fundamentally flawed but entertaining
on September 8, 2015
Posted by: GDRV
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Dark Knight Returns the most influential Batman story ever written, the Frank Miller master stroke is one of my favorite bits of storytelling ever, character development at its finest. This adaptation tries it's best to stay faithful the the source material while keeping a PG-13 rating and that was a mistake an adaptation demands a commitment to the material. Small changes shift the meaning and power of scenes completely, the knife wielding thugs Bruce Wayne encounters in crime alley for instance, in the book they back off and lose interest when they realize he's going to defend himself, he's not a victim and therefore it would be boring killing him so they head to the arcade instead, in the movie there just scared of him they lose the implication of just how bad these kids are. The worst offenses are the cheap attempt to add more action to the story by making the fight with Superman an actual fight, it wasn't in the book it couldn't be and not using narration losing the best parts of the book honestly. But harping on the fact that it doesn't live up and in some places doesn't respect the material doesn't change the fact that it is entertaining, has a great 80s synth soundtrack, it bring's the amazing visuals to life, and has mostly solid performances (I'm not sold on the Joker) while I can recommend it honestly if you've never read the book pick up the trade on amazon or at your local book store for the same price.

Great for movies

These are about the best 2.1 setup your going to find for your computer. There pretty great, easy install there crisp and clear they get quite loud and the subwoofer is awesome. I popped in The Empire Strikes Back to try them out and I could almost feel the force choke, heh anyways they do take up some space make sure you have room under your desk for the subwoofer, their all wired so your a little limited in placement. Also I didn't, but it might be a good idea to get the warranty, I did a little research and some people have had issues with the left speaker going out on the 2015 version of these.

Is the sub woofer wireless?

No you have to wire it to both speakers, it powers everything it has a little off switch in the back, altho you should only turn them off if there going to be unused for a while.
