Cool Easter Eggs...average film...
on January 2, 2019
Posted by: DMVDB

Verified Purchase:Yes
Steven Spielberg is one of the, if not THE, most accomplished directors in cinema. That said, Ready Player One, while full of style and fantastic visuals, is lacking in substance. Growing up as a child in the 80's an dearly 90's, it was cool to see all the Easter Eggs hidden in this movie.

Not bad

Decent film by Jim Halpert. :)
I was very intrigued when I first saw this trailer in the theaters. While not terrible, this film wasn't as good as I anticipated. Worth a watch. Be advised that a 4K version of this SteelBook was released subsequently, and there is now difference in the SteelBook art of the "regular" Blu_Ray and the 4K version.

The Incredibles is a classic Pixar movie re-released in 4K, and in this beautiful SteelBook, which was released in limited quantities. If you can find one, get it!

Unfortunately, this film was nowhere as good as the first Jurassic World, which brought revitalized the Jurassic Park franchise. Still, it's cool to see dinosaurs (albeit CG ones, says Captain Obvious) on screen. One would think that humans would have learned to stop genetically engineering dinosaurs by now...

Excellent conclusion...

Verified Purchase:Yes
to an awesome two parter (actually, this was a single movie that had to cut into twp parts due to it's run time). While not as action heavy as Kill Bill Volume 1, Kill Bill Volume 2 (KBV2) has all the biting dialogue one expects from a Quentin Tarantino film. And it's a travesty that Uma Thurman was not nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of Beatrix Kiddo.

Been a long time coming, but worth the wait...
on December 19, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Huge fan of the first movie, and this second one doesn't disappointed. What I noticed the most is how much computer animation has improved since the first movie while still maintaining the same distinct art style.
As for the SteelBook, while I wasn't initially sold on the design, I have to admit that I'm pretty impressed by the detail and debossing on the Incredibles 2 SteelBook. Just wished that Disney (and all other studios) would keep releasing 3D on home releases.

Classic Tarantino

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you haven't seen Kill Bill (1 and 2) by now, you're doing yourself a disservice. While it's a straight revenge flick, Tarantino's witty and biting dialogue and direction make this a classic.
Being re-released in SteelBook form for under $10 (on sale) is a steal.

Phenomenal Action Film
on December 19, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not a huge fan of the M:L series, but Fallout was phenomenal; I daresay it's the best of the six M:I films. It doesn't let up from beginning to end. Henry Cavill was fantastic as Agent Walker.
Huge shoutout to Paramount for including the shifting IMAX ratios on the home release; it really accentuates the set pieces that were shot in IMAX.
As for the SteelBook itself, the artwork is average...but I'm a SteelBook collector, and will always buy a release in SteelBook form (unless the artwork is horrendous).

Decent depiction of Venom...
on December 19, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
But I wonder how he would be handled by the MCU? I can understand why Sony wanted to make a Venom movie; after all, these properties aren't cheap. But I'd like to see Venom in the MCU "proper". Tom Hardy is a fine actor, and does well in the title role.
As for the SteelBook, while I'm not usually a fan of the Pop Art designs, I like the artwork on this SteelBook. However, I would have preferred a glossy finish (even though glossy makes it a fingerprint magnet) over the matte finish this SteelBook has.

Great price for two movies
on December 19, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror and Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof combine to "form" (for lack of a better word) Grindhouse.
Movie-wise, Death Proof is the superior of the two (let's face it, Tarantino is the better writer and director of the two).
I would have purchased separate SteelBooks for each movie, but the fact that both were in included in one SteelBook for under $20 is a steal.

Another home run for Guy Ritchie
By Binkxsmom
I love all Guy Ritchie movies, and this one doesn't disappoint! So many sub plots and subtle comedy throughout. Highly recommend. Not suitable for younger people.

Step up to great sound with our TCL 2.0 channel S Class sound bar featuring Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X. Easy connectivity with HDMI eARC, Bluetooth, and more. Enjoy your favorite entertainment with crisp, clear sound making movies and music truly come to life.
 

I am trying to use the sound bar with the hdmi cord but it says there is no connection found when I switch to the hdmi port that it is connected to, resulting in me using the Bluetooth but I found that using it results in a delay if the sound to visual

Make sure the HDMI cable is connected to a HDMI port labelled HDMI eARC on your television.

Equipped with a solar panel, the Renogy E.Lumen 500 Multi-functional Flashlight harnesses the power of the sun to light your way in the dark. A built-in rechargeable battery is at the ready to power up your mobile devices at any time and an integrated seat belt cutter, glass shattering hammer, magnetic attachment.
 

I am supposed to receive 3 flashlights as shown and I only received one? It says 3 and has a picture of three. Please send the other two.

Yeah, you need to call or chat with customer service. You were supposed to get three flashlights in individual packages (which is what I received).

I previously had three of these flashlights which are great to have in your vehicle(s).

With upgraded chip technology, VanTop HF609T mirror dash cam fulfills Ultra HD video resolution up to 1920*1080P@30fps for both front and rear view camera, presenting remarkable HD images and videos.
 

Does it record with the screen off and plugged in?

Yes. You have to go in the settings and adjust it so that it is not constantly playing back on the screen. The screen can be utilized as a "regular" rear view mirror, but will record from the front and rear cams.

Sorry if this question sounds silly. Would like to purchase this kit if I wanted to purchase say maybe 15-20 bulbs separately do i need another kit to control all the lights or what would I need to control them from room to room? Want a rgb smart home

I currently have nine bulbs, a Hue Go, and two Hue Plays set up to the same Hub. I’m not sure if there are any limits to the amount of bulbs you can link to it.

If money weren’t an issue, I’d outfit my entire home in the Hue Ecosystem. My dining room light has six candle bulbs. At the current price of $50 a pop, that’s too cost prohibitive! Would also like Hue bulbs in recessed lighting. Sigh...if only I was a millionaire (yep, millionaire not billionaire...I’m not greedy).

how is the Switch powered? does it need to be hooked up like a regular light switch?

The switch is battery powered, and is actually removable from the wall plate. You can mount the wall plate on the wall with the attached adhesive strips, or drill holes and mount the plate with screws. There’s no hardwiring the switch at all.
