Decent movie / Fun and light

I liked this movie well enough to purchase on sale.
It is not an Academy Award type of movie, and I would not have spent full retail price, though.

Overall, a fun & entertaining movie with a unique idea. This is a role that Ben Stiller is capable of, as he plays a somewhat goofy character. Supporting cast is good.
I think this one is better than it's sequel.

Emotional & gut wrenching

This movie is not for everyone. There are war scenes that are graphic, which is the reality of situations like the conflict in the Ia Drang Valley, Vietnam.
I had watched the movie several times, and never lost the emotional attachment to all the soldiers' lives that were lost in that first major battle between the U.S. Army and the PAVN with the Viet Cong on 14 November, 1965. It also brings in emotions of some families with soldiers involved.
The ambush at LZ X-Ray under the command of Harold G. Moore was short. Only a 2 day fight, but watching the movie gives you the perception it was much longer by immersing you into the soldiers and pilots' feelings and thoughts. It also also touches (lightly) on how the command of the enemy may have functioned.

Great acting. Great cinematography.
This movie reminds you of what others have sacrificed for us today. **Remember your Veterans**
NOTE: A book by the same name, written by Harold Moore and co-authored by Joseph Galloway (1992) is also a good read if you want to find out more on this subject. A follow up book was written in 2008 called "We Are Soldiers Still".

Clean carpets and upholstery efficiently with this Shark Rotator Lift-Away vacuum. The pet power brush and pet upholstery tools provide thorough removal of fur and debris, while the HEPA filter pulls allergens and dust from your interior environment. This Shark Rotator Lift-Away vacuum has a detachable canister for convenient portable cleaning.

Cleans well so far. New item

New item-Not a lot of use yet.
So far I love the vacuum.
I used my old unit, then re-cleaned after with the Shark Rotator. I was surprised how more much dirt/fiber/hair was picked up from the previously vacuumed carpet.
The things I liked:
1) Lot of features (the 'lift away' canister is great).
2) Plenty of accessory tools.
3) The Brushroll on/off feature is my favorite. (My old vacuum ate spots of carpeting when using the hose atachment, and preassure was applied to the continuous roller).
4) The hose is attached lower on the unit which helps prevent tipping (when using the portable canister base).
5) Easy to steer around, and propels itself forward with no effort to push the unit.
6) Lightweight compared to my old Hoover Windtunnel (and quieter too).
7) Easy to dump out the dust cup each time I vacuum.
8) A multi angle dusting brush was a bonus that came with unit. (it is perfect for ceiling fans & flat/angled areas above your head).
9) Suction control on the wand handle to avoid making your curtains disappear.
What I don't like:
1) Cord could be a few feet longer. (I can't reach the same areas as before without changing to a new elec outlet).
2) The unit is a little 'tippy' when using the wand while the motor is connected to the main base.
Watch smaller, lighter floor rugs & take more care to clean. This vacuum has a lot of suction, even when you adjust for less, and may pick up the carpet occasionally. The brushroll will stop if something jams, which is good.
Overall, this seems like a great vacuum so far. When I use it though, while pulling the vacuum backwards, I lower the handle to take weight off the roller. I just try to take some of the load off the motor. The motor works a little harder as it's still trying to pull forward. You can hear a difference.
Note: this is just me, and there is nothing in the manual that says it is necessary to do so.
Also bought the extended warranty. Don't normally, but it allows me to bring it back to my local Best Buy. (They cover a lot more than just 'materials & workmanship' like the manuf.) Otherwise, if anything happens I must ship it to the manufacturer, which would cost as much as the warranty.
