![Forgetting Sarah Marshall [WS] [DVD] [2008]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/013a0a81-7461-42bb-8c79-4e155b58a0ae.jpg)

This movie portrays an inevitable part of life that we all go through at one time or another; heartbreak. Though the central theme of the movie is that of a heartbroken man that is trying to forget the girl he thought was to forever be "the one", it offers a good two hours of comedy.
+
After discovering that his long time girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), the hottest actress on TV, has decided to leave him for someone else, Peter (Jason Segal) decides to take a small quest to find himself and forget about her.
+
He speaks with a doctor, becomes a short time womanizer, then ultimately decides that he just needs to take a lengthy vacation. Upon arriving at Hawaii, a place that Sarah always talked about visiting, he finds that she just so happens to be there with her new rock-star boyfriend, Aldrous (Russell Brand).
+
Peter ends up meeting a gorgeous customer service rep., Rachel (Mila Kunis), from the resort and soon finds that forgetting Sarah Marshall isn't the hardest thing in the world.
+
The movie takes multiple twists and turns and ends up with the good ol' fashioned "everyone's happy" ending. Good movie, worth watching, but I will say, the nudity kind of catches you off guard! A very okward, uncomfortable scene!!!

What's great about it: Good acting and casting, pretty intersting throughout, lots of laughs
What's not so great: Kristen Bell and Russell Brand don't really seem like a good match in the show, just kind of an okward pair...

This is definitely one of Brad Pitt/Jason Stratham's best movies EVER! There is a great plot that, though sometimes gets itself sidetracked, always keeps itself prevelant through the fog.
+
To be fair, there are actually numerous different plots that develop throughout the movie, but the gist of it is this...
+
Avi, (Dennis Farina) is trying to get his hands on a massive diamond, and everyone else seems to have the same idea. He decides to send Frankie Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro) to retrieve it; this is how the movie starts.
+
Turkish (Jason Stratham) is managing a boxer named Gorgeous George, who consequently gets KTFO by an Irish gypsy boxer named Mickey (Brad Pitt).
+
Now, Gorgeous George was supposed to take to the ring and fight a boxer under the management of Brick Top (Alan Ford), a man that no-one seems to want to mess with. Since Mickey sent Gorgeous to the ER, and the fight had to go on, Turkish and his partner Tommy (Stephen Graham) negotiate a caravan deal with Mickey to step in and fight. The only stipulation, he has to throw the fight...
+
The movie keeps building on itself and comes to an explosive ending that is sure to make you glad that you just sat through the whole thing. It has comedy, wit, and an all-star cast, definitely an amazing movie. Highly recommended.

This was a major thumbs up after taking into consideration the disaster of a Hulk film made a few years prior.
+
Edward Norton was a great choice for the role, he does an awesome job! The movie itself could have probably been a little thicker on plot, but the film gets its point across.
+
As I said in the cons, I was not at all impressed with Liv Tyler's performance in the movie. She is a very forgettable character and isn't very convincing in her role. It's almost like she didn't want to be on set and it shows through. Just my opinion...
+
Overall, a great movie, especially if you want something to make up for the travesty they released a few years ago. I recommend at least giving it a chance.

Bring rich sound to your patio with these speakers that cleverly hide in your landscaping to provide big sound without being a big distraction.

These little rocks, rocked my world after I hooked them up! First impressive thing about these speakers; the design.
+
Not only are they pretty well weighted, they bare a remarkable resemblance to a real rock! Stack a couple of real stones next to them and you'd never know the difference!
+
The sound quality is pristine, for the price range that is. I have never heard this high of quality from such a cheap speaker. You can get some serious volume out of these speakers too!
+
Another neat feature is that they have a bolt anchor on their bottom side. This is great for locking them down in preperation for severe weather.
+
I have purchased two pairs of these speakers for my yard and would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for serious sound out of a little rock!

An awesome adaptation of the Iron Man series. Robert Downy Jr. plays an excellent Tony Stark; he executes the part perfectly. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Pepper, Starks assistant, she plays the part well and the on screen tension/chemistry between the two is made very obvious throughout the film.
+
The whole movie has enough hook to keep ones interest, and at the same time throws in enough humor to keep it light-hearted and funny.
+
While the plot almost diverts itself after the first hour or so, it circles back around to delivers one final burst of action. It is a good movie and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to see a good action flick! Let's just say, I'll be waiting for a sequel!

This 2-pack of HP 56/57 ink cartridges contains black, cyan, magenta and yellow ink, so you can easily produce smudge-resistant prints using your compatible HP printer. HP Verified Online Supplies Reseller ~
Posted by: Volearix
from Zionsville, IN
I make covers for an average of 50+ cd covers a day and with each pack of this ink that I have bought, I get 100-150 cd covers. That is pretty good in my opinion.
+
While this ink is pretty expensive, all ink is, so that really cannot be a factor in this review. The ink quality isn't the best, but it is really good for a tri-color pack (opposed to ink that is seperated by individual colors).
+
The only real issue that I have had is that sometimes there are areas of my print where the ink is a little faint. It kind of resembles a white line. Could be a fault in my printer though. Any way it goes, it's not a big deal because it barely ever happens.
+
I would recommend this ink when looking to print medium quality flyers, reports, small presentations, or medium quality photos.

When looking for strategy, skill and shooting all bundled into one dew-soaked package, look no further, Socom is here. A great game that integrates stealth and tactics into killing and mass chaos.
+
There are quite a few missions on this game and while it could have been made a little bit longer, I think it's length is sufficient. Objectives range from assassination to bomb defusing and keep you on your toes and at the peak of your skill at all times.
+
Interactive scenery plays a large roll in this game; being able to hide in brush to sneak up on enemies is a really neat feature. It is nice to have to actually think about the weapons and equipment that is taken on a mission as well. What's in a players inventory can greatly impact the outcome of a mission.
+
Hours of fun, strategic action. I recommend this game to any strategic mind that doesn't mind honing in on their destructive side!

Having been a long time RPG player, I figured that I would give this game a quick test run. The quick test run turned into an all night obsession!
This game has a million elements that make it fun for anyone who enjoys a good RPG (role playing game). There are a large number of playable characters; from your main hero, Sora, to disney characters like the Beast and Goofy, to Final Fantasy favorites like Cloud, the game has enough substance to keep you interested.
Another thing that I like about it is the way that you dispatch your enemies. This is a family friendly game in the way that it only contains cartoon violence; it doesn't have blood and gore all over the place!
Pretty original theme overall, interesting way to tie all kinds of different heros from various worlds into one game. All flows pretty well, even with the cheesy story line that you have to follow!
I would recommend this game to any RPG player that plays just for fun. It doesn't have the most in depth story line, but it is still a fun way to play away the day. Otherwise I might recommend it to those in their mid-teen years. Just give it a little time to get going before you make a final decision on it.
What's great about it: Large variety of playable charaters, Exciting fighting system, Fun for all ages!
I would recommend this to a friend!

After a long time of being reluctant to purchase this game, I finally broke down and bought it for a party that I was throwing. I can honestly say it was a great idea!
This game can offer hours of non-stop fun to anyone who sits down in front of it; even to those who aren't skilled in the musical arts. There are a ton of good ol' classic songs to choose from and four different difficulty settings for each song.
The only things that I disliked about this version was the inability to create your own band members, and not being able to download new music to your harddrive. I guess that comes with not keeping up with the new game systems! It seems they are working on the issue of being unable to download songs by releasing the new track packs though, so no biggy!
One thing that I will note; Always buy the hardware for the game, (i.e., guitar, drums, "bass") seperately and add on the warranty packages to them! You'll be sorry if you don't!

Though I agree that the movie was well driven and the plot was strategically instructed, in the end this movie left me wanting more out of the 130 minutes I had just spent watching it.
I did enjoy the movie, but it was somehow lacking, I can't even place my finger on it, but the ending just left a hole that was never filled throughout the movie. Worth watching for the plot alone though.

how to hook up my pc to play files on my media player through the reciever?
go to any store that sells component to 1/8 inch or 1/32 inch (whatever your computer sound hookup uses). In other words a red/white to 1/8 inch hookup.
-
Take the red/white part and hook it into any slot of your receiver (doesn't matter if it is labeled as DVD/VCR/CD/V-AUX, they'll all work), then hook the other end into your PC. When the corosponding channel is selected on your receiver, and the music is selected on your PC, the audio should be routed through your surround sound system.
