Cosmic Comedy
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: DarkTemplar
Verified Purchase:Yes
Undoubtedly the reigning champion of summer 2015. The campy space opera and cheesy 70's trope of science fiction coupled with James Gunn's brand of humor and touching moments went on to make this film an instant classic. This motley crew is really something to behold. The chemistry with which this roving band of misfit jailbirds makes for quirky interactions of the highest comedy. This movie just works. It could have done with a more compelling villain but I can't sing enough praises about this film. Between 70's space camp and an 80's soundtrack, this film had a lot riding on it and a lot going for it.

A New Dawn
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: DarkTemplar
Verified Purchase:Yes
I feel like this is the kind of blockbuster that is often lacking from the summer calendar. Something with weight, something with drama, something with emotion. This is a triumph of cinema and is a showcase of how special effects can and should be used to create movie magic. I'm elated to see that the studio is taking this franchise seriously considering its acclaimed legacy. This film picks up after the fallout and uprising of the previous film, not only the advent of the talking apes, but also the disease that had ravaged humans that had only been alluded to in the original series. Cesar is a compelling figure and his struggle between two worlds is a journey worth taking.

What Dreams are Made of
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: DarkTemplar
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's very rare for a film to exceed my expectations. Until recently I had never heard of this film so it isn't to say that I put a lot of pressure on this film to deliver. Having said that, the premise, characters, and execution really took me by surprised. I've seen the idea of the government controlled experiments with the mind tackled before with Firestarter and Scanners, but this film offers something new and exciting and for once that isn't just hype. What these operatives are able to do with the power of the mind in the realm of dreams is thought-provoking, pun very much included. I am a writer and this single film inspired an entire tv series for me. I've often heard of Scanners as X-Men meets The Fugitive, and while Dreamscape isn't quite that kind of mashup, it is far closer to that mark than the former film is.

The Master Chief's iconic journey includes six games, built for PC and collected in a single integrated experience where each game is delivered over time. Whether you're a long-time fan or meeting Spartan 117 for the first time, The Master Chief Collection is the definitive Halo gaming experience.

Combat Evolved
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: DarkTemplar
Verified Purchase:Yes
What a treat this was for Halo fans, XBox owners, and gamers. When rumors swirled of a Halo 2 anniversary expectations were already high but then we learn that each numbered entry in the Halo series would be released in HD AND for the XBox One. 13 years of history. The series that put this game on the map. This really was a delight reliving all the classic Halo moments, matches, and maps. The only drawback that prevented this review from being an Excellent Rating is the connectivity issues with Online Multiplayer. We're in the next gen and this is Halo, the franchise that popularized multiplayer. This issue should have never risen. That being said, this collection was a great offering from Microsoft and 343 is a worthy successor to Bungie.

Place Your Bets
on March 7, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't care what gripes anyone has with this movie. I love it. Considering the trash both series have shelled out before (Freddy's Dead, Jason X, etc) as much complaining as I've heard directed at this film I never hear any specifics. I love how they were able to put both killers in the same universe while respecting their origins. There were likeable characters which is not only astonishing since anyone whose name isn't in the films title could easily have been relegated to fodder, but let's face it, actual characters in your cast hasn't mattered in these films for a long time, if ever in the Friday movies. When I first bought this on DVD I had to search out the Special Features to scour the origins of this premise. I was in the middle of grammar school when I had first heard of this concept, that they were going to bring both monsters together so I was fascinated to read up on all the pitfalls and delays this film experienced in Development Hell. I knew once I started selling off my DVD's to switch over to HD that this film was a must. I was fine with this film's exemption from the Elm Street Collection and was just happy that the Special Features made the cut for this Blu-Ray transition. Other notable plot points that make this flick worth it are the dream sequences, the corn rave, Jason's Nightmare, and oh that fight sequence.

Just the Charge I needed
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: DarkTemplar
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was happy to find this utility by a trusted brand. Not only does it itself charge quickly but it also charges my phone pretty quickly. I'm glad that it has 2 USB ports not only to charge two separate device but also two completely separate cell phone providers: an iphone and an android phone for example. It's small enough to slip into a messenger or travel bag for on-the-road convenience. My only knocks against it are that (1) the cable that connects the battery to charge is for USB not a standard wall outlet. This isn't a problem for me because the multi-tap I have just so happens to have two USB ports however, seeing as how this isn't mentioned on the box could be a problem for someone one might need it to be plugged into a wall. (2) the cable to charge the battery could be a bit longer. Again this wasn't a problem for me but others purchasing this item may need a longer cord to accommodate their space needs.

In-wall certification lends versatility in your component placement, and the 5-foot length means less cable left over. This Monster Black Platinum UDH HDMI cable is triple-layer shielded to eliminate the chance of frequency interference.

A Monster 4K boost
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: DarkTemplar
Verified Purchase:Yes
You'd be surprise how much of a difference another foot of reach can be. With my new entertainment center this is just the HDMI cable I need for my game console to reach the tv. The 4K support in video and audio and surround sound quality makes for a purchase worth my money. The Ultra HD cable means I won't have to upgrade these cables for the foreseeable future. I only ever buy Monster because I trust and can vouch for the brand.

A sprawling metropolis in the not-so-distant future. Premise: A catastrophic event has left the city in ruins and most of its inhabitants are either dead or have been transformed into horrifying mutants. For most people, being dropped down into these kinds of circumstances would mean certain death. Not only are you fighting for survival in a postapocalyptic city, but you're attempting to escape the nightmarish transformation that has claimed most of the survivors. Good thing you're not like most people.Dive into the open-world shooter of Sunset Overdrive, and prove that you've got what it takes to survive catastrophe. With a knack for traversing the ruined city with hyper agility, it's a simple matter to survive postapocalyptic conditions. When it comes to the mutants, not only are you escaping their transformation, but you've found your true calling ~ mutant destroyer. A fully loaded arsenal of overpowered weapons back you up and make it totally clear that the end of days is just the beginning for you. It's your turn to star in this end-of-the-world storyline.

Crazy Fun We Need More Of
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: DarkTemplar
Verified Purchase:Yes
I for one thought this game was a breath of fresh air. Not every game has to be a Triple A gunfest. I'm happy this has more of a tongue-in-cheek tone to it highlighted by the color palette and imaginative arsenal. Loads of fun and hours of play and replayability. The premise is entertaining and that's all I can ask for. Variety is the spice of life.

Have you ever wondered what you would do if you woke up one day to find the world transformed to one full of horrors? Lots of people have apocalypse survival plans, but do they really ask themselves how they would cope? It's hard to gauge how well you would deal with a life that consists of nothing but fear, because you've never really experienced it. But one thing is for certain ~ if you let the fear win then you don't survive. If you don't keep the evil within chained up under lock and key, then the horror will overtake you and drag you under.Dive into a world crafted by the father of survival horror, Shinji Mikami in The Evil Within. In a game that embodies the meaning of terror, you have no choice but to gather your courage, shut down the fear and let your adrenaline carry you away. Explore highly crafted environments full of the stuff of nightmares and contend with the horrifying anxiety of constantly fighting to survive. An intricate storyline weaves together to build an engrossing experience that will make your palms sweat and your heart race. Do you have what it takes to overcome the tension and withstand the deadly terror?

More like "The Evil Without"
on March 7, 2015
Posted by: DarkTemplar
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game was a bit of a disappointment for me. I expected this, not Alien Isolation, to be the true next gen Survival Horror experience and boy was I wrong. With beloved game designer Shinji Mikami and given the state of gaming horror at large, recently, and last gen, this game had a lot of shoes to fill. Unfortunately those shoes were filled with cement. This game is buggy, the story isn't engaging, the enemies are uninspired (zombies? really?) and for the hype it received it simply could not live up to said promotion. Look elsewhere.
