Good for kids, okay for grownups...

Verified Purchase:Yes
My hopes were pretty high since this was made by the same group who did "The Croods", but it is more for kids and not for adults. If you liked the old "Peabody and Sherman" cartoons from the 60s, then you will probably like this movie...

Disappointing X-Men sequel...

Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is about how the Wolverine is sent back into time to change history in order to restore the present. If you are an X-Men fan, then this might be your cup of tea, but if you are looking for a good plot, look elsewhere...

A drifter named Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) brings trouble to small-town Minnesota and influences insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) into murder. Meanwhile, a pair of local police officers are trying to piece together a series of murders which they believe is connected to Malvo and Nygaard.

Good drama

This series is like an expanded version of the movie... Unhappy husband who wants to get rid of his wife and hires a hit man to take care of things but it goes awry.
The casting is excellent with movie stars such as Billy Bob Thornton, Morgan Freeman and Colin Hanks.

After receiving a devastating cancer diagnosis and the staggeringly costly treatment plan that comes along with it, high school chemistry teacher Walter White (Bryan Cranston) puts his expertise to use by taking up an unorthodox new hobby: creating the perfect methamphetamine. When he develops a reputation for quality goods, Walter finds himself deeply immersed in the drug world, his part-time job having become a full-time preoccupation before he could truly understand the repercussions it would bring upon himself, his family, and his partner in crime Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). This collection includes all five seasons of the groundbreaking television show from AMC.

Great but violent drama
on September 29, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
Breaking bad is one of the great television dramas. It's about a down and out teacher who finds out he has terminal cancer. Took make sure his family is taken care of, he teams up with an ex-student and manufactures meth. The series is a continuation of his downward spiral into drugs and drug lords.
The storyline is great but the show is has graphic violence.

Return to the scene of the crime in ELEMENTARY THE SECOND SEASON, with all 24 gripping episodes collected on for the first time on DVD in this 6 disc collection. Jonny Lee Miller returns in this modern-day take on Sherlock Holmes, the dangerously eccentric consulting detective who's addicted to impossible cases. Lucy Liu stars as Dr. Joan Watson, his 'sober companion' turned partner in detection. Together, they take on some of the strangest crimes New York has ever seen as they assist the police in uncovering clues that unlock the city's sinister secrets. Only to the very sharpest minds do the incredible solutions seem elementary.

A pretty good Sherlock Holmes spinoff
on August 29, 2014
Posted by: jon96789
from Honolulu, HI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a Sherlock Holmes fan. I must admit that this modern take is pretty good (not as good as the BBC's Sherlock, though).. Johnny Lee Miller plays the main role pretty good and Lucy Liu is pretty good as Watson... The rest of the supporting cast is adequate. Season one was very good and season two picks up from there, but it leads to a cumbersome end this year.
Still, it is a worthwhile pick for Holmes fans.

I bought a cheap knock-off USB-Lightning connector. It did not last more than three months before it started acting up. The iPhone was not being recognized by the computer. Once It bought the genuine article, it's been smooth sailing...

Four Home Alone movies in one four-DVD set. In the original Home Alone that started it all, Kevin McAllister (Macauley Culkin) must protect his home from burglars (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) after being accidentally left home for the holidays. In Home Alone 2, Kevin (Culkin) is cornered by the same thieves while on a trip to New York. In Home Alone 3, nine-year-old Alex (Alex D. Linz) must protect a microchip in his toy car from a band of thieves. And in Home Alone: Taking Back the House, Kevin (Mike Weinberg) must choose which of his divorced parents get him for the holidays, but no matter where he goes the same thieves follow.

Great action movie...
on January 18, 2014
Posted by: jon96789
from Honolulu, HI
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is a lot better than I expected. It is based on the Jack Reacher novels. Jack is an ex-MP who is off the grid. A man who is accused of murder asks Jack to prove he is innocent, but Jack thinks he is guilty as well.
This movie proves that gratuitous s*x is not needed in a movie. In fact, there is no s*x at all... The plot holds the whole movie together.

Personal Home Cloud Network setup

I am looking at setting up a home network using either a WD or Seagate My Cloud hard drive. The concern I have is we use multiple systems in the house (PCs, MacBook, IPad, Galaxy, ....) and I want to be able to access the home network using any and all of these systems. When I read through the setup instructions for the WD and Seagate, they are either for the PC or Mac; there's not much guidance on across platform setup. Am I able to setup the network so I have access to it using any of my systems? if so how do I go about doing this?
It does not matter what OS you use as the Cloud drive will appear as a network drive. If the device can detect the network, it should detect the cloud drive.

The only thing is how the devices have the ability to back up to the cloud drive. They all can back up but it may have to be done manually...

which is the best sata hard drive for my hp pavalion h9 1130

interested in best fast and reliable
SATA drives are getting cheap... You could pick up a 250GB SATA drive for about $80 or so. You have to check if your computer has an internal SATA connector. IF not, you will need to buy a PCI SATA card.

Which internal hd is best for an emachine desktop?

You have to check if your eMachine desktop uses an IDE/PATA or a SATA HDD... I think the eMachines used IDE/PATA connectors. If so, you will have a hard time finding a replacement as they have been more or less phased out by SATA drives. I would look into a WD 250GB HDD. Again, you will have to get more information as really older computers may not recognize drives of large capacity...
