In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and begins killing the researchers one by one.

Carpenter at his best
on December 10, 2016
Posted by: KevinV
Verified Purchase:Yes
This ranks as one of the best Carpenter movies for a reason. What really sold me on this version is the bountiful extras. Usually, once the Shout Factory releases a film, the double dipping is over and until they start releasing 4K versions, this is the definitive release. If you want to invest in the only necessary release of this movie, this is the edition for you.

Under the radar film worth watching
on December 10, 2016
Posted by: KevinV
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of those movies that came and went with little fanfare. I was interested enough to keep it on my radar so when it hit home video, I would give it a watch. It is right up my alley, genre wise, and I didn't have any expectations going into it. If you want to be entertained with mindless historical action/horror(?), this is the film for you. If you were expecting a thought provoking period piece, you probably knew what to expect before you even started (It is called Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters for a reason). I enjoyed and I think anyone who likes this type of movie will as well.

Forgot how great this movie is

Honestly, it has probably been a decade since I sat down and watched this. Quirky characters in a surreal world. I should revisit some early Burton classics more often.

Nice budget friendly set
on December 9, 2016
Posted by: KevinV
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love when new sequels come out. That's usually the best time to pick up box sets. This was fairly inexpensive and comes in a rather small package. All movies are great and I like the Christmas special. Doesn't take up much shelf space either.

Nice tool for beginners

Really nice tool for those who would prefer to go at their own pace. I've picked up and put down guitar lessons thrice in my life and at this point, with work and kids, this is the best option available.

Having started and stopped guitar lessons at three different stages in my life, this kind of a nice go at your own pace. Like the setup and the ease of understanding.

E.T. - Making up for Atari 2600 debacle

Verified Purchase:Yes
So yes, I'm one of those who actually like the Atari 2600 game. It was silly nonsense, but I enjoyed it anyway. I don't know if this ETs first video game appearance since then, but I would love to see a full fledged ET Lego game. This is fun.

Insignia - Voice Smart Portable Bluetooth Speaker and Alarm Clock with Google Assistant - Gray/Black
Only at Best BuyAnswer all your questions and share your playlist with this Insignia portable wireless speaker. Featuring Google Assistant, this compact speaker lets you search the internet or set your schedule with just the sound of your voice. Bluetooth compatibility on this Insignia portable wireless speaker allows sharing and casting to multiple devices, including phones, tablets and even other speakers.
1. Is Insignia Voice Smart Portable Bluetooth Speaker a replacement for Google Home? 2. Does Insignia require a Google Home to work? 3. Does Insignia work with Google Home? 4. Does Insignia work with Alexa and Echo.
1. Yes. In fact, I have both versions of Insignia Voice Smart (Portable and the smaller (non-portable) versions) and prefer them over my google home (the smaller google home). They both have a clock, will show temperature (briefly on demand) and I think they both sound great. The non-portable is smaller and lighter (great for smaller spaces) and the portable is larger, has better sound (then the smaller and google home) and you can move it around the house (or take it outside and cast music from your phone).
2. No. It is basically the same as google home. You just need a wi-fi connection and a smart phone. Setup is mostly easy, but may take a few tries.
3. It uses the google home app on your smartphone. As stated earlier, it works just like a google home device.
4. It does not work with Alexa, Echo or Amazon Music. My lone disappointment thus far is that, as a Music Unlimited subscriber on Amazon, I can't listen to that on any google related device. Google home runs some of the same basic apps as Alexa (pandora, iHeartRadio, etc), but Amazon music. Maybe one day this will change, but for now, I just have both (or you can bluetooth your Amazon music from your phone).
