Fantastic Live Action adaptation of a classic...
on December 18, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Well, live action with CGI, of course. Very happy my kids were able to see a version of one of my favorite kids movies growing up. Looking forward to what Jon Favreau will be able to do with his CGI adaptation of the Lion King!

Entertaining...but that's it...
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
First off, it's a Michael Bay film...so you know what you're getting. This film was decent enough with Jim from The Office (I know, I know, John Krasinski) starting his action hero role in this fictionalization of the Benghazi attack. I wish Bay had stuck to making a film without any political assertions. A decent "docu"-film...but nowhere near the class of the FAR SUPERIOR Black Hawk Down from almost 20 years ago.

Entertaining Action Film
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let's be honest, sometimes one desires a straight up action film where you don't have to really think at all. And Dredd is one of those films.
Essentially The Raid at heart, Dredd doesn't waste time setting the story in motion. Karl Urban is great as Judge Dredd, and this film makes awesome use of 3D.

Good continuation of the MI: Series
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am revisiting and reviewing all my Best Buy purchases; MI: Rogue Nation does a decent job continuing the MI series after the average (IMO) MI: Ghost Protocol.
The first MI was okay, the second MI was...entertaining (I've been a huge John Woo fan since the mid 90's, but a gun toting super heroic Ethan Hunt seemed a little far fetched, especially after how he was portrayed in the first film), the third by JJ Abrams was awesome, and Ghost Protocol was average. Rogue Nation rights the ship of the MI series.
This design of this SteelBook is pretty decent.

The complete fifth season of the HBO hit fantasy drama series Game of Thrones, which set a Primetime Emmy Awards record by winning twelve honors in 2015. All ten episodes of the season are included in this release, continuing the struggle of warring factions to gain control of the Iron Throne. Game of Thrones ensemble cast includes Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, and Kit Harington.

Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken...
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was super disappointed when Season 5 was initially re-released, as it seemed like Best Buy would not be continuing their exclusive House Sigil slip cases, so I bought the standard Blu-Ray release. But once i heard that Best Buy would be re-releasing Season 5 with a house sigil, well, I just had to double dip as I had house sigils for all the prior seasons (Targaeryan, GreyJoy, Stark, and Lannister). My only complaint about this slip cover is that it does not match the Martell Sunspear sigil exactly.
As far as the series itself...well, Game of Thrones is my favorite TV (albeit premium pay TV) series of all time. If my 40 something year old self could go back in time and tell my 10 year old shelf that there would be an awesome fantasy TV series on when I was an adult, I'd never believe it. But it's happened, and I love it.

Not quite as good as Skyfall...
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
While not as good as Skyfall, Spectre does a good enough job as a follow-up, and reintroduces Bond fans to Blomfield. I've enjoyed Daniel Craig as Bond, and hope he gets one more film in the Bond role.
As for the SteelBook, I purchased the first release, which had a glossy finish, and debossing around the bullet hole. This SteelBook was later re-released in a matte finish.

Fun game
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been a long time gamer, but never really got into Capcom's Monster Hunter series...until now. Monster Hunter World is a fun, addicting action RPG that can be played alone or online with others. Graphics are par for the course for this generations consoles, and the variety (as well as diffculty) of the monsters makes this game have great replay value.
Unfortunately, after last generations consoles (PS3 and XBox 360), I stopped playing online, so I cannot comment on the online aspect of the game, but the single player game is pretty fun.

Fantastic Sequel to a Sci Fi Classic
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Blade Runner 2049 is Denis Villenueve's masterful sequel to one of the most influential and classic Sci Fi movies of all time. Cerebral and a visually impressive, younger viewers who go in expecting an action type movie will be disappointed...and are frankly, missing the point. Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Lared Leto, and Robin Wright are fantastic, as are the rest of the cast: Sylvia Hoeks, Ana de Armas, Dave Bautista, Lenny James, and other's too numerous too mention.
Oh, and this film SHINES in 3D...it's a HUGE disappointment that 3D is being phased out in the US. Hopefully my two 3D TVs (55" Samsung LCD and a 72" Mitsubishi DLP) have many years left in their life span.

Decent SteelBook, average movie
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: DMVDB
from Fairfax, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
First off, the movie: it's hard to do justice to Stephen King's phenomenal book series in a single movie. This should have been an HBO series. However, I liked the casting of Idris Elba as Roland, as well as McConaughey as The Man in Black.
As far as the SteelBook itself, this is a decent SteelBook; I'm not a fan of BestBuy's Project Pop Art designs, but this one isn't bad.

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.
