A True Fantasy Classic

I am an 80s child born. I missed a lot of the old style fantasy that came in the old days, having only the 90s onward to cement my tastes in SFF (sci fi and fantasy). When I found this gem after seeing the big Lucas franchises in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, I was skeptical of it. Surprisingly, the story does step out on its own and bring some new elements to a classic story trope. You have Val Kilmer during the rise to fame that he'd further during the 80s, 90s, and to even the 00s, but he is only one of many others. The true star is Warwick Davis, who was only in his late teens when he did Willow. You also have various appearances from other great actors who have come and gone or are still with us. Overall, the movie brings a great story with a great soundtrack and a very nice remastering (this has both DVD and Blu, so you get both formats). This, along with Princess Bride and Highlander (and even Legend), show that the 80s were great in bringing us memorable fantasy flicks that should never be forgotten.

Return of A Great TV Series

Now, NBC has had a great success in Hannibal so far. Season 1 set up a fascinating world. But Season 2 brings us back for another great adventure. From start to finish, it brings in new players, new elements...and has a great cliffhanger that makes Season 3's wait hard to bear. Definitely a great show!

The second season of this sci-fi thriller continues to follow orphan Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) throughout a deadly conspiracy after learning that she is not only a clone, but that there are others out there like her - some of whom don't have the best intentions.

Another Great Season!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, what can I say? The lead actress is great, versatile...the show's been great for two seasons. And I am excited for season 3. This is just another great sci-fi show in the vein of Person of Interest and Continuum where it gives us a particular flavor and sticks consistently with it.

It's an 80s Classic...What's Not to Like?

I'll keep it short and sweet. It's an HD treatment of one of the best fantasy movies of the 80s, alongside the likes of Willow, Legend, and however many others came along. But this one is a gem all can appreciate.

Better Than the First
on March 14, 2014
Posted by: TheLaughingMann
from Newark, DE
Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw the original movie for the heck of it and thought it was all right. If anything, the success of the movie called for a continuation of the adaptations. And it also put Jennifer Lawrence on the map as she did this around the time of another surprise hit: X-Men First Class. Ever since then, she's gotten a bigger list of performances, but had a chance to return to this. The plot brings some new twists along, expands the characters a bit, and shows more of the machinations that occur in such a society. In short, the movie is setting us up for Mockingjay which will be the climax of the series and show us what happens when rules get changed or broken and people get pushed too far.

Only at Best BuyThis portable CD player features an FM tuner with 10 station presets, so you can listen to your favorite stations on the go. The skip protection ensures your favorite tunes aren't interrupted.
how do I resume a Cd where I stopped?
i play books on CDs on my Insignia, purchased at Best Buy. When i stop a CD I can't figure out how to make it resume the next day at the same spot. Manual doesn't seem to address this.
I don't think you can. The player has an energy saving feature built in where it will shut itself off after a few minutes of no play. You can pause your place and try to resume it within a few minutes, but if you stop the disc or power the player off, it starts at the beginning.

Only at Best BuyThis portable CD player features an FM tuner with 10 station presets, so you can listen to your favorite stations on the go. The skip protection ensures your favorite tunes aren't interrupted.
In overview, it says skip protection is 248 seconds, in specifications, itsays 45 seconds. Why is that, and which will it really have?
It's hard to say. The skip protection can vary. With regular CDs, it's one way. With MP3-CDs (CDs that are burned with .mp3 files to read), it's another. MP3 CDs are just data discs with files on them. CDs are a copy protected format that are filled with specific data in a certain format (like DVDs and Blu-ray's). The skip protection likely is determined by the disc type being read, how healthy the disc is (an immaculate one versus a scratched up one), so on.
