![Rated X [DVD] [2000]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Emilio Estevez directs himself and his brother Charlie Sheen in Rated X, which comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Estevez and Sheen, interviews, filmographies, and a still photo gallery. This is a strong release from Showtime.

I saw this shortly after it's release. The sheen/estevez brothers do a great job, and the movie has fun and dark parts to it. It sucked me in a little like boogie nights, once you start watching, just gotta finish.

Great Video of The Parks

I have been to many of the parks in this video. The UHD and HDR almost make it more fun and vivid than being at the parks themselves. I look forward to hopefully getting my kids to many of these with time, hopefully they can remain intact

This movie has all the grit and darkness a film about Vietnam should have. A great cast, good action. Right in there with Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now for me. It's transfer is fair to Blu-ray, hopeful for 4k mastering in the future.

I got this on a whim, the price was low, and it's as cheap as renting. Action, humor, and definitely b movie feel, a good film to watch late on a Saturday night, like I used to watch on cable when I was a kid and cable was a big deal.

1980's fun.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a film I've grown to appreciate more since childhood. Cheesy special effects that I remember being pretty neat when I was younger. Action, bad puns, almost a bit of slap-stick. This movie was a good price, and areasonable Blu-ray transfer. For the price, I like the physical copy to watch.

This storyline has been done before, deep cover agent, agency betrayal, then try to live/clear name, oh, and save a pretty girl. However, it's an action film, and that kept me drawn along till the end, as it should. Average to slightly better than average action film.

I had not had the Fortune of seeing this with my kids yet, and best buy put the 3d Blu-ray /DVD/ digital copy on sale, so this was an easy decision to make. I can take advantage of my TV's 3d features, or watch in our van, or on a tablet/phone. The 3d works well. The story and movie are reasonable and my boys like it. Worth looking at this set.

Classic Movie

Posted by: averageguy
from Iowa
Verified Purchase:Yes
I finally decided to pick this movie up after all these years. I have seen it many times from in the theater to on TV. Now it's tougher to catch in tv, and not streaming on anything I have. The 4k disc is as good as can be with old film transfer, and the darks are good with HDR color. I wish more films included Dolby Vision to get the most punch out of the colors, but I can't complain. I am happy with this purchase

I've had this on DVD since it came out, and my boys like the characters and the racing, and when Best Buy was kind enough to put this on sale Blu-ray 3d, DVD, digital, I had to add it to the collection. Now we can watch this in 3d, or if we are traveling and no DVD player available on phone. Very happy with this purchase

5 out of 5The best soundbar I have used.
By averagetechguy
from concerned one
I received this item at no cost to test through the best buy tech insider network and to give my unbiased opinion. I currently have a 7.1 surround sound system on my main entertainment center, but I got this as a sound system for my rec room area so that I do not want to have to have a bunch of speakers around, but I also don't want to compromise sound. This delivers.
I have had experience with vizio, auvio, nakamichi, samsung, bose, and lg soundbars in the past, only one with a sub, but it was wired. This soundbar blows anything away that I've had. The size is very reasonable and could sit on the mantle in my front room if it were there. it is a bit deeper than most "soundbars", but still can mount to the wall below the tv. It came with a stencil and spacers to mark the wall and hang. The sub I can tuck under an end table to the side of the room. This has no fade in clarity even at louder volumes.
This setup was easy, pull it out of the box and go. The quick start guide was much appreciated. I connected this a few ways via hdmi arc and optical. I utilized my 4k disc player and also 4k vudu and netflix to test dolby atmos and dts x, and and wow, this system is crisp and defined, good bass that is adjustable. I utilized Apocalypse Now 4k to see how the surround effects would go with Dolby Atmos, and just hearing that chopper go across the screen in the opening scene made me want to duck to not get hit. It had excellent directional flow from left to right as the chopper flew across the screen. I did stream some music via Bluetooth as well as Heos app, and all sounded good.

The Heos app could be useful, it tries to combine your library and streaming into one spot but I just don't have problems going to each of my services or files to play stuff. I have the app on my phone but likely won't use it much. I do know now that this is on my rec room tv, I may be watching more stuff there than on my main system. I don't mind letting my family do what they want with the main system, I will not lose any quality of what I'm doing with this. I highly recommend this item if you want assured quality sound with minimal effort. You do get what you pay for here

Update
August 29, 2023
It's been a while since I reviewed this and I forgot to update this sooner. This soundbar sounds great initially, did fine for about a few months or so, then it developed a tic, low grade constant tic. With movies and actions it can get buried, but when quite or light noise...constant tic. Something isn't grounded correctly. I relegated it to my second TV, and got busy with life and I did not pursue warranty on it, but I'm sure they would possibly honor it.

5 out of 5Good combo single serve/drip machine
By averagetechguy
I got this to try and free up counter space from having both my drip coffee maker and single serve out on the counter all the time. Single serve on business days, but on weekends I can brew a pot to have all morning. This takes up a little less footprint than my old single serve machine (just over 10 years old). I have it on a lift that has k cups storage in it and it fits easily inder my cabinet. The set up of this is easy, follow the assembly order. They put the k cup adapter in the coffee pot, that was a bit of a trick to get out, but it did. It comes with a reusable single sever pod and the kcup adapter, and then reusable standard filter. Thus thing works good. It is a bit slower than my old single sever machine, but brew time for 12 cups is same as old standard drip machine. It brews coffee, tastes like coffee. I have no complaints. Five stars so far. My old machine is still going after 10 years, I hope this lasts as long. My old one won't be decommissioned just moved to my office. This one will be my daily use for now.

I found a flaw after posting
October 24, 2023
I have many types of coffee, and had used this for several days before cycling though my coffee rotation and I have a brand of coffee that uses compostable pods (a subscription style coffee club) , no k-cup style. No issues in my old machine and the other machines my friends and family have (I my own coffee when I travel) and this pod does not fit, no matter how I try it, just doesn't slide in far enough. I would have totally deducted a star for this had I made it through my full rotation of coffee. So far it's just this one pod, but it's my favorite coffee, other compostsble pods were a but different than I have with this,but again would have been enough to easily deduct a star for me.

4 out of 5Cool feeder
By averagetechguy
I saw this item and i had to get it. It's more than just a simple field camera for birds. This is a small feeder, I wish it held a bit nore food, and the style is nice, but to fill it is a bit awkward. I like the metal hanging triangle on the top, it habgs well from my crook. This unit takes pictures sorts out bird vs no bird then send you a photo (called a postcard) with the bird identified if it got a good enough view. This does have a limitation of needing to be within wifi range, so it is somewhat close to my house, but hopefully i stashed it far enough the commotion going on in the house doesn't scare away the birds. It did take me a minute on initial set up because it did not have the led lights displaying while I charged it, but the website does have a troubleshooting for this. None of that initially worked. The day I sent a message to support I got a very prompt response, but it started working before I had to do further troubleshooting with them. A bit finicky, but no issues since then. A+ customer service (it was a weekend and they responded). The picture is clear when live streaming and so far, I've had a few sparrows, but nothing else exciting yet. It's only been 5 days, and it got warm, so birds are in the fields getting the remnants of harvest. I joined bird buddy pro, which can be monthly fee or save with very low cost yearly fee. This unlocks the full HD potential, bird frenzy that allows quicker photos (but lowers battery life) and allows you to mute/ignore species from postcards. You can also be part of the community and have up to 10 people you can host. It also unlocks all access to the network of fedders around the world they have. I was following ones in Hawaii and one in Canada recently. So far. My initial battery charge has held up for 5 days and still at 98%, but it has been sunny. We'll see when we hit overcast winter. In summary, it is fairly easy to set up, once running it's doing what it needs to. The application is neat, yiu have bird tv, live feeds all over the world, the community with tons of photos of birds. And a favorites list of feeders you can fallow. I will give this 4 out of 5 stars, with partial deduction for the low capacity of seed, awkward filling, and slight hiccup in the set up. Definitely I would reccomend this item though.

Update
January 20, 2024
One negative I've found now that I've had this in use for several months is i can't keep it stocked fast enough. It is suck a small capacity and with the sub zero weather right now, it's empty in as little as 12 hours. I wish this was quite a bit bigger. It holds if I had to guess 40 to 50oz's (bout 1.5 32oz drink cup full) of food. I wish this would hold about triple that. With 2 foot of snow on the ground where I live, I'm getting exercise filling this.

It's round, it's plain, it's clocky, and it does keep time. I gave it in a small office and no issues. Useful for people who visit me, but I barely notice it, and I'm in there all day.

Start your morning with local news by using this GPX alarm clock radio. Its 1.8-inch green LED display lets you easily see the time from a distance, and its memory stores up to 10 AM and 10 FM presets. Choose between radio or buzzer tone when waking up with this GPX alarm clock radio.
If the power goes out, does the clock still keep time.
Yes it keeps time, the screen is not on though, but when the power comes back up, the time is still set, same with the alarms. You do have to add 2 aa batteries that are not included to have this feature and make sure they are kept fresh like smoke detectors, change at daylight savings time to assure they are staying charged.
