I just saw this for the first time. How did I ever miss this gem? Christian Bale is as great as ever and Matthew McConaughey is a very excellent bad guy. Add a very good supporting cast, a riveting plot, and it kept me glued to my set.

I got this Blu-Ray for my wife and she thought that it was amazing. I am not much of a musical guy but it kept my interest. Hugh Jackman is simply a great actor.

So many bad reviews, but I gambled because of a great sale price, at BBY, and decided to take a Blu-Ray home. Great special effects and Tom Cruise could not save this movie from mediocrity. The mythology could not stand on its own 2 feet even though the beginning was SOOO promising. Eventually, the movie failed to produce a smooth coherent story and it was just an OK flick. Anyway, I bought it, I watched it, and am glad I got it cheap. Still worth a watch.

This was relatable on so many levels. Bullying, the new school experience, personal insecurities, etc. I thought the young primary actor was amazing. Most of the cast was also amazing. The story was fairly predictable but it was told well and a good movie for all. I think that some younger people could learn a thing or 2 by watching this flick.

I really REALLY enjoyed this movie. It was just a fun action-packed family friendly flick. Ron Howard made a gem and the casting director really got it right. Awesome special effects and a very creative story = I didn't miss a second of this movie, I guess I liked it. Anyway, a wonderful watch.

The bitter relationship between miniaturist Annie Graham (Toni Collette) and her eccentric mother had long tainted the life she built with her husband (Gabriel Byrne) and teenage kids (Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro), and she hoped that the old woman's passing would let her move on. However, as the Grahams become enveloped in horrifying tragedy and eerie happenings, their true family legacy comes to unholy light. Genuinely chilling entry co-stars Ann Dowd, Mallory Bechtel, Zachary Arthur. 127 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio; Subtitles English (SDH), Spanish. Two-disc set.

In all seriousness, the best part of this movie was Toni Collette's phenomenal performance as well as the rest of the primary characters. I thought that the movie was filmed beautifully and the horror vibe was always present. My main gripe is that I kept waiting for that WOW moment where I would figuratively fall out of my chair and it never happened. This movie had many 'scary' scenes but nothing really original. However, it was worth watching and the Black Friday price was irresistible.

4K Improved My Experience
on December 3, 2018
Posted by: ck665

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have watched my Blu-Ray countless times and thought I'd treat myself to the 4K version. There was more pop to the colors and more detail to many scenes. This 4K transfer was beautifully made. I watched the extended length option and the extra 15 minutes added clarity and depth to the overall script. Anyway, I thought this was extremely well done and I do recommend. BTW I own a Sony 55" XBR and an OPPO Digital 4K player and a 5.1 Klipsch/Denon sound system.

Molly's story is difficult to believe, however, it is based on true events with much documentation. Jessica Chastain is amazing in her role as Molly and the supporting cast is outstanding as well. The story is told in a gripping and dramatic manner with timely flashbacks and superb directing. There really is nothing that I did not like about this movie. One of the years best!

Probably no Oscars here, but a good movie to watch and simply enjoy. The special effects are first rate (as expected) and the story is entertaining. This was an acceptable sequel and I will probably watch this flick again.

I'm not real big on animated movies but we purchased this movie for our 1 1/2 year old grand sons. It definitely kept them entertained and me as well. All in all, this clearly is intended as a family viewing experience. It is quite funny and the animation is excellent (of course). Good job.

Sigh. Want to love it but I just plain can't.
By TheFoctor
I really want to love this product but I can't. The positives are that it's slim, helps organize keys between home vs. business, has Tile integration, and has a handy light as well as some tools. All of these features are terrific....but.
But: Because of the too-easy adventitious loosening of the screws that hold the two pieces of the contraption together, there seems to be a very real risk that the entire project will fall apart, causing keys to spill....who knows where? Down a sidewalk grate? Into the crevices of an airplane seat? Into my jacket pocket? Even "into the bottom of my purse" would pose an annoyance. All of the "extras" are great bur they're for naught if the basic function of a key contraption -- securing one's keys -- is not met. Surely there MUST be some way to lock the screws in place. The fact that I have to tighten them every few days is both quite annoying and most worrisome.
If I could return this for a full refund I would (but I can't because I tossed the packaging). More than that I hope that some means of "locking" the screws can be identified and retrofitted onto in-service devices. Sigh.

There are thread locking products on the market. Loctite makes various thread locking strengths. I might suggest the blue and most auto parts stores stock small containers for a modest price. Use Loctite red if you don't want the screw(s) to ever come apart without a lot of effort.

What's the HP on this machine?

That information is not on my machine or in the user manual or anyway on the box. My manual lists 780 watts which is considerable. The suction is really good on mine. You could always contact the manufacturer. Hope this helps.

Can the vacuum be used outside to vacuum leaves and dirt?

You could but it would fill up quickly. A regular shop vacuum is what I use in areas near my house.
