DeNiro and Pacino
on August 9, 2022
Posted by: DRoog
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie isv one of my favorites of all time. I can't even say it's DeNiro in his prime because of everything that he's done prior (not so much after). Michael Mann puts together this 3-hour timeless epic that pits the 2 greatest actors ever against each other in a game of cat and mouse. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for? This 4K steelbookl is stunning (and looks so much better in person). The transfer is top notch and the audio, although it's the same as the one from the blu ray, kick serious butt.

The Quick-Release Battery Pack allows you to have backup power for select battery powered Ring Doorbells and Cameras. To charge your battery pack, simply connect it to a micro-USB cord and plug it into a power outlet. If the battery pack in compatible Ring Video Doorbell or Securtiy Cam runs out of power, you can remove your batteries by pressing the quick-release tab on the battery pack. Then, simply slide your second battery pack into your device, and you~re good to go.

While the Ring battery doesn't last as long as I was promised, having a second one makes everything seamless. When my battery is at 20% or so, I pull out the spare and charge it up, and it is ready to go so I can have coverage without interruption.

The original remake!!
on June 8, 2021
Posted by: DRoog
Verified Purchase:Yes
I remember watching this version of KK with my father on TV growing up. I liked it better because it "had more action", a quality not lost on a 8 year old. While I now prefer the original B&W version, I was delighted when Scream Factory/Shout Factory announced this version was coming to Blu! Finally, after all these years! To top it off, it has a 3-hour TV cut, which I never saw, spread out over two 90-minute parts.

Purchased this as an extra charger (and car charger for a bonus) for my son's Nintendo Switch. It does as advertised and has lasted for months. With a 10 year old, that's considered a long time.

Speed in 4K!!! This was one of my favorite movies of the 90s and while the Blu ray from years ago got a lot of play, it looked terrible compared to the discs and movies of today. This 4K corrects all of that and gives it a fresh coat of paint! This movie has never looked better!

This was a great little gem of a film. Warner Archive does it time and time again with stellar transfers of older films. This set includes both the B&W version and the 3-strip color edition, which looks amazing in HD!

I bought this for my son who is going into middle school and will be coming home before me after after school. So far, no complaints as it works perfectly! Just what I expect from a Pixel device: smooth, great performance, great camera, and reliable as heck.

Great cheesy creature feature!

Verified Purchase:Yes
What a cheesy monster movie from the late '50s! This was a blind buy for me based on a recommendation from a friend, and I can't say that I was disappointed! This was such a treat and had a great atmosphere. On the technical side, the picture and sound quality, especially from a movie released by a smaller company, was stellar!

LotR trilogy in 4k!!! Perfect!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
First, about the packaging and such: I received this product in the mail and, although others received damaged ones, mine came in excellent condition. It was packaged with care and had plenty of bubble protectors on all sides so it didn't bounce around in transit. Good job for that!! On a technical side, The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 4K looks and sounds absolutely stunning!! I'm glad these finally came out, and with the Hobbit trilogy to boot!!

1 out of 5Bad product bad customer care
By jagrose
from Socal
So I purchsed this Bella coffeemaker back in December to give to my parents for Christmas. Big day comes and goes and it is finally set up mid January. Great. It looks nice, very modern, perculates like a gem. Come mid February we notice that sometimes the autostart in the morning doesnt work, I'm guessing I forgot to set it right so I make sure to make a point to check. Anyway first part of March my sister is visiting and is trying to make a pot of coffee later in the day and it just doesnt turn on. We unplug it, reprogram and nothing. So I call Bestbuy, I'm figuring so I did not buy the replacement warranty but man it was not even 3 months and the machine just stopped working, surely they would have some customer care....but nope, no offers. So I called the manufacturer and they told me that they cant replace it, they can only do a partial refund. But I had to cut the cord and send it through the post to Canada. I mean I got the thing on sale and it would have cost maybe $15 less than what I had purchased it to ship the cord so I guess I will just cut my losses. So to sum up this looks like a beautiful 14 cup maker but don't expect it to last very long.

protection plans for the win
April 5, 2019
I've had my pot for almost a year or so. You can't expect Best Buy, who doesn't even make the coffee pot, to take it back after 3 months of use. I bet you scoffed when the sales person offered you two years of protection for an extra cost. I spent the extra few bucks in case, over 2 years, something goes wrong. I can't comment on Bella's customer service, but it is certainly not Best Buy's problem.

1 out of 5Buyer Beware
By Pixote
from Rockford, IL
I was extremely happy with my new 14-cup Bella Pro - for two weeks. Then I woke up and found it did not start at 6:30 AM as I had programmed it. I figured it was just a fluke. Two days later it happened again and then the day after I found the clock somehow went from AM to PM and as a result the brewer made a pot of coffee at 6:30 PM instead of 6:30 AM.
At this point I had owned the Bella Pro for 20 days. When I went to request an exchange, I was informed I couldn't because it had been more than 15 days. They'd be happy to set me up with an appointment with their Geek Squad to get an estimate for repair or I could call the manufacturer.
Well, I certainly didn't want to pay to have it repaired, I had only owned it for three weeks. I tried calling the manufacturer and every time I called I got a recording. I couldn't get to speak to a customer service rep or tech to get help.
Needless to say, I am quite unhappy. I have purchased multiple computers, computer accessories, a high grade office chair, and a Microwave Oven from Best Buy in the past. I will NEVER buy anything from them again! NEVER!

protection plans for the win
April 5, 2019
So, you chose not to buy the protection plan from Best Buy, and yet, somehow, it is their fault that they're following the return policy you agreed to when purchasing from them? 15 days. You buy, you understand. It's written on the receipt I bet. Yup, it is. I buy everything from there and have never faulted the STORE for something another company or manufacturer makes. I am sorry you don't like to be told "no", but get over it.
