Great Small Shredder
on September 25, 2013
Posted by: Trabmada
from Rigby, ID
I just needed a simple shredder for now. It works great. The cross shred is more secure be even more beneficial it makes for more room in the waste basket since there are smaller pieces of paper. I prefer a micro-shred for the same purpose but it's mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to empty the basket a bunch. Overall though, this is probably the best shredder for the price. Best Buy just released their 10 page shredder and I'm interested to see how that one does but you definitely won't be disappointed with this unless you are using it for shredding 30-40 pages at a time, multiple times a day. I only shred basic documents 5-10 pages daily if even that.
What's great about it: Price, Quality
What's not so great: Basket Size

Brace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.

Great Game

You will have fun with this game. I like how you can play a lot of the past courses from previous systems. Fun for hours. Pay an extra $30 and get 3 more Wheels when you buy (if available). It's worth the extra money so everyone can have a wheel. Happy Gaming.

Director Francis Lawrence's I Am Legend arrives on DVD in a handsomely packaged yet curiously lacking two-disc special edition courtesy of Warner Home Video . Presented in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio, the picture is near flawless and the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack makes excellent use of the film's inventive sound scheme -- the sound of the encroaching vampires (courtesy of vocalist Mike Patton) shifting from speaker to speaker in a manner that's genuinely unsettling. Four visually striking animated shorts originally released to promote the film offer variations on the themes that drive I Am Legend, are decidedly downbeat yet undeniably beautiful to behold. Unfortunately, viewers seeking to learn anything at all about the production will have to have a computer in able to do so, as the "Intense Bonus Material Databank" is only viewable via a DVD-ROM PC Weblink. A director's commentary track would have been a welcome addition given that the filmmakers were forced to re-shoot the ending of the film, but sadly the only additional features other than the animated shorts are trailers for Lost Boys: The Tribe, The Dark Knight, Speed Racer, and a promotional spot for Blu-Ray. The inclusion of an alternate theatrical version is indeed something to be celebrated as the original cut more faithfully conveys the tone and ideas of Richard Matheson's original novella, yet the decision to include it on an extra disc rather than simply branching the original film is a curious one give that there's only a four-minute difference in running time. One can only suspect that a more feature-intensive special edition is being prepared for future release.

Not That Great
on August 7, 2008

from Lehi, UT
I don't know what all the fuss is about on this movie. I really wasn't that impressed. Will Smith does act really well in it which is to be expected. Other than that, I wasn't a fan. That doesn't mean you won't like it, just an opinion from another source.
What's great about it: Will Smith great Acting

Jonathan Glazer's sophomore directorial effort, the measured psychological drama Birth, may have failed to catch on with audiences, but it is a memorable moviegoing experience thanks in large part to the way the director's visual skills were augmented by ace cinematographer Harris Savides. The DVD release of the film offers a pristine anamorphic widescreen transfer that captures as much of their powerful collaboration as could be expected. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, but those with a taste for visually rich films should find this disc worthwhile.

Worst movie Ever
on March 9, 2008
Posted by: Trabmada
from Lehi, UT
Just don't do it. It is not even worth the time. You could fast forward through the slow time and get the same idea out of the movie in like 10 minutes. I usually give movies a sporting chance, but this is the worst I have ever seen. On the top of my worst movies ever list.
What's great about it: Can't think of any
What's not so great: The whole dang thing

Great Movie

Russle and Christian pretty much says it. I thought it was a great movie. Those two did a great job on it. If you are a fan of the Western Genere than you should check it out. Buy it on Blu-Ray if you do though. Even Better.
What's great about it: Russle Crow and Christian Bale

My Favorite Movie
on March 9, 2008
Posted by: Trabmada
from Lehi, UT
My favorite movie usually changes every other month, but this one will be my favorite for a very long time. The story line is great, and if you have a Blu-Ray player, it will be an experience that you will never forget. The first time I watched this movie in High Definition, I realized that Hollywood can still get the job done. "THIS IS SPARTA"
What's great about it: More action than you can handle

I would recommend this movie to anyone. Great action scenes and an awsome story line. You will most likely want to buy a Mini Cooper after watching the show. You won't be disappointed owning this one. It is great.

A pitch-perfect re-creation of the schlocky B-films of yesteryear, The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra arrives on DVD with some fun bonus materials thanks to Columbia TriStar Home Video. Not only is the feature presentation made possible through the miracle of "Skeletorama," but it is also presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen with a closed-captioned English Dolby Digital Stereo soundtrack and optional English and French subtitles. Extra features include a classic "Skeleton Frolic" cartoon, cast and crew commentary, a Q&A session from the American Cinemath~que, "Obey the Lost Skeleton!" featurette, a blooper reel, virtual "skelectables," and a retro-style theatrical trailer.

An Absolute Must See
on March 9, 2008
Posted by: Trabmada
from Lehi, UT
This is a very funny show. One of my co-workers came across this and told us all about it. It is supposed to be a B rated horror movie, shot in black and white, but the lines in the movie will just make you laugh. My wife absolutely hates this movie, but it is most likely because we watch it 2-3 times a month. If all else fails, you should watch this movie just to tell others about it.
What's great about it: Funny, Funny, Funny
What's not so great: You have to watch twice to appreciate

Jewel cases are the same in my eyes. I buy these non-stop because I do wedding videos and my wife does photography. These are perfect to just put the DVD in the case if you put a nice label on the disc, or use lightscribe on the disc. The fact that they are clear on the front lets you see what the disc label has to show. Dynex is a private label for Best Buy (they make them) and therefore, they can pass the savings on to you.
What's great about it: Price

Product reliability

We bought this shredder several months ago. We have used it to shred only a few pieces of paper. It is not working any longer. Before this, we had bought same model earlier and returned it as it had also gone bad. Is this what we should be expecting from this model?
I'm just a customer so I'm not sure on what the standard for these is, but I've purchased one for my home office and used it for 6 months without a problem and then also bought a second one for my office at work.

I don't use them extensively. Only about 5-10 pages daily (if even that) but I haven't had a problem with these at all. No promises on this, but Dynex is a Best Buy Brand. They manufacture it, so the warranty should be easy to be taken care of since it's right in-house. You'll probably have to call 888-Best-Buy for warranty stuff though.

Good Luck. That's a bummer that you had 2 in a row not work though.

What is the approximate size of the paper shreds?

I would like to know the size & shape of the paper shredds. Are they in strips or "chunks/bits"
they are small strips roughly 1.5 - 2 inches long. Definitely not strips as long as the page but also not as small as a micro-shred shredder. (which is basically confetti when it comes out). I've added a pic for you to see the size. In the top left corner is a AA Battery so you can size it up.
