At an urban VFW post, the old soldiers would hang out sharing war stories from days gone by. However, when a young woman flees the crack house down the block carrying a half-million worth of a designer drug-with the dealers and a pack of cranked-up addicts in pursuit-the grey warriors would discover that they were far from done with armed combat. Action-packed stunner stars Stephen Lang, William Sadler, Martin Kove, Fred Williamson, David Patrick Kelly, George Wendt. 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Pretty Darn Good TV
on September 27, 2020
Posted by: JimmyP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really love this tv. The 4K is amazing and the colors pop right off the screen. I did find the viewing angle to be very limited and the "jitters" don't go away with "film mode" despite people saying it does. I am very happy with my purchase and can recommend this tv to others.

Introducing Nintendo Switch, the new home video game system from Nintendo. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system can be taken on the go so players can enjoy a full home console experience anytime, anywhere. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system, with unprecedented new play styles brought to life by the two new Joy-Con controllers.PLAY ANYWHEREAt home the system rests in the Nintendo Switch dock, which lets you play with family and friends on a TV in the comfort of your living room.By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock at any time, the system instantly transitions to handheld mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its 6.2-inch screen, which displays bright, high-definition gameplay at the park, on an airplane, in a car, or at a friend's apartment.Nintendo Switch comes with two Joy-Con that can each act as a standalone controller with an analog stick, a full complement of face and shoulder buttons, built in motion-sensing technology and new HD Rumble. They can be inserted into a Joy-Con grip accessory to be used like a traditional controller, held comfortably in each hand for independent left and right motion controls, or shared between two players for instant multiplayer gaming in front of the TV or out on the go.This bundle includes the Nintendo Switch console and Nintendo Switch dock in black, with contrasting left and right Joy-Con controllers-one blue, one red. It also includes all the extras you need to get started.

Everything That I Had Hoped
on July 5, 2020
Posted by: JimmyP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I haven't bought a video game system since the PS3, so I wasn't sure what to expected, but I was very happy with this purchase. I have bought three games since and have loved all of them. Buy a Switch if you can because it is worth every penny.

Not As Good As People Say It Is
on July 5, 2020
Posted by: JimmyP
Verified Purchase:Yes
When I saw Joker in the theater, I thought it was good, but not great. Watching it just now and I have to say that outside of the Oscar winning performance from Leaf Phoenix (look it up), the film is very standard and bland. There are scenes that have no purpose and the film wastes the wonderful Zazie Beats.

The planet's first computer-generation television host uses his wit to prevent the networks from turning the minds of the masses into oatmeal as Max Headroom comes home in this set featuring every episode of the groundbreaking television series. Bonus materials include "Live on Network 23: The Story of Max Headroom," "Looking Back at the Future - An intimate roundtable discussion with members of the cast," and "The Big-Time Blanks - Morgan Sheppard and Concetta Tomei reflect on Max Headroom."

A Show Ahead of Its Time
on June 27, 2020
Posted by: JimmyP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm an 80's kid but for whatever reason I never watched Max Headroom. I knew who he was and I knew of the show, but I never watched it. I did with this set and the show is really great. It's a Scifi show that takes place in a cyberpunk future with satire that is biting and true to this day. The show is a lot of fun and I can't recommend it highly enough.

A Great Set For A Great Series
on April 17, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are a phan of this series and haven't bought them on blu-ray yet, then you need to pick this set up right now. You get all five films, with brand new remasters and special features, and the sphere from the film. Well worth the money.

While investigating a deadly swamp-born virus, Dr. Abby Arcane discovers a mysterious creature lurking in the marsh. As the beast disrupts nature and disturbs the peaceful town of Marais, Louisiana, some Thing in the swamp takes action to save the innocent. This set contains every episode from the series.

Good Show Cut Short

I love that this is a horror show and doesn't skimp on the gore. I love Derrek Mears as Swamp Thing and wish that he was in the show more. It is a shame that there will be no more of this as it has some really great stuff here.

A Fun Series For Fans of Ultraman
on March 9, 2020
Posted by: JimmyP
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a lot of fun with this series. Just seeing Ultraman kick the snot out of Kaiju is always fun. The blu-ray from Mill Creek is wonderful. There are no special features, but we get the whole Orb series along with the spin-off web series. Tons of fun to be had here.

A Nice Upgrade From Scream Factory
on February 28, 2020
Posted by: JimmyP
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a really nice upgrade from the older Scream Factory blu-ray. The picture is so much nicer and in its proper aspect ratio. The SteelBook is nice too, although I would have rather had the film's original theatrical poster as the cover art, but Scream Factory loves paying artists to come up with newer cover art. Still, this is a must buy for fans.

An impressive budget 4k smart TV
By GoBucks
I've been impressed with this TV so far. For the price, it far exceeded my expectations.
Pros:
- Excellent picture quality with a very bright panel. 4K HDR content looks great.
- Pretty good sound quality for this price point. The sound holds its own against the other 55" 4k smart TV (Vizio) i own that i use a sound bar with. Great highs and mids, but suffers a little with bass levels. Not bad though for a TV without a sound bar.
- Roku OS is fantastic. Adding apps to the home screen is very easy, and i was able to find almost every app i could think of that i normally use to stream TV shows, movies, and sporting events.
Cons:
- If you're looking hard enough, you can notice the panel is brighter around the bezels. Taking the screen off its default 'Bright" setting helps, but you can still tell a lot of the light is coming in from around the edges of the screen.
- There's no way to display the resolution while playing a TV show or movie. Its nice to be able to check whether you're watching in 1080p or 4k.
- The remote is very small with very few buttons, one of them being VUDU. It would've been nice to have a remote that offers more customization as to what app you'd like to go into, but the home, back, and volume buttons are easy to find.
I haven't tried gaming with this TV yet, so am curious how the 60Hz refresh rate holds up. I think we are getting to the point most displays have higher refresh rates, but since this is in the budget category, i wasn't expecting much else.

You should be able to tell the difference between 1080 and 4K. Its a pretty big difference.

My remote won’t turn on TV

Point it to the left of the tv. The sensor is really small and pointing the remote directly at the tv won't hit the sensor. I thought that my tv was broken but then I figured out where the sensor is.

Is this just a blu ray or is it a steelbook?

It's a blu-ray inslde of a SteelBook. If you want just the blu-ray, you can buy the older blu-ray that doesn't have the new 4K scan.
