As Florida authorities were evacuating a small town ahead of a Category 5 hurricane, Haley Keller (Kaya Scodelario) was fighting to get in-trying to locate her unaccounted-for dad Dave (Barry Pepper). Making her way to his house, she finds him injured within an attic crawlspace... and, now, their survival is in question, both from the rising floodwaters and the hungry alligators trolling within. Alexandre Aja's terrifying two-hander co-stars Ross Anderson, Anson Boon.

Well done and very intense!

I saw this in the theaters when it first came out after hearing a lot of great reviews. My buddy and I felt the same coming out of the theater. It fulfilled a lot of our expectations going in: frightening situation, intense and doesn't let up, great effects, and jaw dropping action.
Fast forward to the physical release: too bad this did not come out on 4K, but the blu ray is exceptional! The PQ and AQ shine on this disc, and even in the darkest scenes, one can make out the details hiding in the shadows in the basement where the gators lurk.
Have to recommend this one 100%!!

When I bought my PS4 years ago, I never thought about the time when I would fill up 500 GB of storage with game files, especially since I don't really play anything more than the yearly MLB The Show games, Gran Turismo, and anything Star Wars or Transformers related.
Fast forward a few years and that's exactly what happened. I went to check my monthly update for Gran Turismo Sport only to find that I didn't have enough room left on the HD.
Went in to my local BB and spoke to one of the gaming gals and she recommended this product.
My gosh was it easy to set up. Plug it in, format, and move files. Now I have several hundred GB free on my PS4, and my 2 TB drive has even more free!

I have these Amazon devices all over my house, from Fire Sticks in my kids' rooms and a Fire Cube in the Home Theater, I am impressed with how well these perform. The sticks, while having a slower processor than the larger Cube, still performs well when loading apps and connecting to the internet. My kids use these to stream Netflix and Disney+ content and couldn't be happier!

Brew and serve delicious drip coffee, every time, with the KitchenAid 12-cup drip coffee maker featuring a spiral showerhead and a programmable warming plate. The distinctive 29-hole spiral showerhead evenly saturates coffee grounds for optimal extraction, producing an exceptionally flavorful cup of coffee. To keep your coffee at the perfect temperature for as long as you want, choose from High and Low temperatures for up to 4 hours. The dosage ladder on the gold-tone filter and the dosage chart on the water tank will guide you to consistent results every time. The transparent removable water tank has a large easy-to-fill opening to minimize spills. The unique spout design on the glass carafe helps prevent drips for hassle-free pouring. Plus, the ingenious design of this coffeemaker gives you two brew buttons for flexible placement on your countertop - one on the side and one on the front!

I bought this after my last Bella Pro Series started making brown water after exactly 2 years. I have to say that out of the box, it makes a wonderful cup of smooth coffee. I enjoy putting this on every morning to brew a pot, and again in the evening if I'm home and want to relax.
Clean up is easy with the separate reservoir and I like the spout that does not allow coffee to drip while pouring, which several carafes I've had in the past did.
Overall, I'm very happy now...we'll see how she holds up over time!

When you buy a phone worth $1100, you need to make sure it is protected! This rugged case by Samsung does not disappoint. I originally had the same case for my Note9 and it did the trick. The kickstand is a plus for video watching as well.
This year, Samsung added softer non slippery sides to help grip the case, but doesn't detract from its ability to protect all aspects of the device inside. All in all, couldn't ask for a better case!

not as good as the original, but very entertaining

I have always been a fan of the original THHE, and actually never saw this until it arrived in the mail. I am a huge fan of Arrow Video and its releases rival that of the Criterion Collection in terms of PQ/AQ and extra content. While the original is a cult classic on its own terms, Part 2 feels like a completely different movie, and for that, it works. Cheesy and goofy, but still creepy and a great watch around Halloween season.

My 9 year old uses these at school as his classroom requires them to have a pair and he absolutely loves them. They're comfortable and they have a volume limiter so they don't get too loud for his young ears.

A wonderful package

This 4K steelbook edition is the perfect compliment to my expanding 4K collection as well as my steelbooks. It fits in nicely next to parts 2 and 3, offered as Best Buy exclusive editions. While a bit pricey, I know these will not last forever once they're not in stores anymore.
The movie quality in 4K is absolutely stunning. The HDR, when compared to the blu ray, is absolutely ridiculous! The movie has never looked better. Sound-wise, the Atmos mix places sounds overhead for a perfect immersive experience.
This 4K edition of a Disney/Pixar classic comes highly recommended!!

I recently had to replace a builder's grade disposal that had been with the house since it was built in 2013. There was a hole in the bottom of it which caused a leak and rendered it useless. I found this model and had it installed by Geek Squad and it has worked like a charm for the last week or so. It has a little more power than my last one and it shows! It almost seems like the contents in the disposal are liquefied before moving it into the drain area, which is good for the drain! My last disposal left some larger objects, only partly ground, in the PVC pipes and they had to be removed manually.
Time will tell how this one will hold up compared to the last, but with stainless steel parts in the chamber, this should last a lot longer than 5.5 years!

Bad 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.

Buyer 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!

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.

How loud is this supposed to be? I feel like mine makes a really loud humming sound....like it might be struggling. It's brand new!!

My builder grade one was loud. This seems to be a bit lower, but for a disposal, I wasn't expecting anything really quiet anyway.
