Tight thriller that's a Hitchcock throwback.
on April 11, 2022
Posted by: rdj252
Verified Purchase:Yes
I hadn't seen this movie in a while, but it stands up as a pretty good thriller with an interesting plot. It jumps right into the action and you have to figure things out along with Russell. Not a lot of character development, but it's not needed. Tight story telling and it gets right to it. Supplements aren't a lot, but what's there is good. Picture looks great. Reminds me of a Hitchcock thriller.

Great speaker for the Roku TV.
on January 10, 2022
Posted by: rdj252
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent speaker that was easy to set up and pair with the TV. It's made to work only with Roku Tvs which is what I am using it with, and I couldn't be happier. The sound is terrific and the speaker remote works just like the TV remote. The only gripe I have is that despite the remote working everything, it won't turn the TV on-I have to use the TV remote and then when I turn the speaker on the TV recognizes the speaker remote and it syncs. It might just be me, but I've looked things up and can't figure a way around it. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars.

Great end to the Craig era.
on January 10, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
A terrific way to end Craig's ear as Bond. The story is really good and the acting is great. The adventure in Cuba is a highlight. This blu ray is terrific, I just wish the documentary that's on the 4K disc was on the blu ray as well. It covers the Craig era and is a must for Bond fans.

Fun follow-up to a classic.
on September 28, 2021
Posted by: rdj252
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's not nearly as good as the original, but it's still a fun action film and the leads still play well off of each other. This blu ray is an improvement over the first issue. It looks great and has a part 2 to the director's interview/documentary which is again very interesting. Stories I've read say there was a 150 minute version, then a just over 2 hours version a week prior to opening and we ended up with this 90 minute movie. It's a shame the footage isn't here or a "director's cut" or extended cut isn't here but this is still worth a pick up. Maybe someday the cut footage and plot points will see the light of day.

Perfect way to stream.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This item makes any TV with a hook-up port a smart TV. Roku is very easy to use and allows for every streaming service (at least all the big ones I could think of) as well as its own bonus content station. The Roku channel offers a lot of old TV shows that my kids have been able to discover like the old Wyatt Earp show. Good stuff for very little, one-time cost.

Great blu ray for a terrific 80s action film.
on September 28, 2021
Posted by: rdj252
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is really the movie that set the standard for buddy cop films. Nolte is terrific as a grizzled, no-nonsense cop and Murphy lights up the screen in the movie that made him a star. Great adult action with lots of good humor interlaced in a standout 80s action film many other have tried, and in a lot of cases failed, to live up to. This blu ray looked great and the documentary interview with the director gave a lot of insight into the movie. Well worth your time and a big improvement from the no frills first blu ray.

One of the best sequels.
on August 29, 2021
Posted by: rdj252
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of the best sequels made. It does a great job moving the story forward while giving a bit more of the back story. The story is interesting and expands the world in a great way. I’d give it an even higher score but there aren’t very many extras. It’s a pretty bland presentation beyond the movie itself.

A vapor farmer on Arvala-7, Kuiil came to seek peace in an out of the way world, which is now being trespassed upon by criminals and mercenaries. Kids and collectors alike can imagine the biggest battles and missions in the Star Wars saga with figures from Star Wars Retro Collection! With exquisite features and decoration, this series embodies the quality and realism that Star Wars devotees love. Star Wars Retro Collection includes figures from the 40-plus-year legacy of the Star Wars Galaxy, including movies and live-action series. (Additional products each sold separately. Subject to availability.) The 3.75-inch-scale Retro Collection figure is detailed to look like the Kuiil character from The Mandalorian live-action series on Disney Plus, featuring design and detailing inspired by 1970s Star Wars figures. Star Wars products are produced by Hasbro under license from Lucasfilm Ltd. Hasbro and all related terms are trademarks of Hasbro.

Fun action figure.
on August 2, 2021
Posted by: rdj252
Verified Purchase:Yes
Throwback figure which, when I ordered it, was the only way to get an action figure of one of the best characters in this show. Loved the retro package and the simplicity of the figure. I wish modern action figures weren't so expensive and hard to find- especially in stores where kids should be able to locate, get and then play with. These are supposed to be for kids (why I get mine-for my kids) and collectors are killing the industry just like the trading card industry. Would give it 5 stars, but the price stops that; I remember getting these when they were $3 or less. No way inflation gets it to $10 kids can't afford them- collectors suck.

One of Murray's all-time best.
on August 2, 2021
Posted by: rdj252
Verified Purchase:Yes
Finally this movie is available after all these years. Yeah, a DVD came out a long time ago, but this blu ray looks great and this is one of Bill Murray's best movies and performances that's gotten lost over the years. His only venture into directing and it's a home run. Just hilarious and a very original idea. The jousting scene kills me every time. Bizarre and I want to know what the heck is going on! Classic.

Best home version of a comedy classic.
on August 2, 2021
Posted by: rdj252
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of the greatest comedies of all time; when my 12 year old son laughs out loud and watches it by himself again this proves how timeless this comedy is. Criterion always comes through with solid supplements and 3 versions of the film which is great value for your money-well worth getting this version over the others.

Give your entertainment the premium sound it deserves with Roku Wireless Speakers. They~re the easy way to upgrade the sound of your Roku TV as front speakers or add immersive surround sound to your Roku audio system.

For a full surround sound system, you~ll want two sets of Roku Wireless speakers~two in the front by your Roku audio device, and two in the rear behind or beside your couch. For Roku TV users, start with a set of Roku Wireless Speakers for premium sound. Then, you can easily add Roku Wireless Subwoofer (sold separately) for heart-pounding bass.
 

Can these be used as outdoor speakers

I am, but they're under a covered area so there's little chance of them getting wet. I don't think they're water proof/resistant. I wouldn't put them out in the elements.

Can you get Bally Sports, specifically Padres baseball games, with Roku without cable TV?

Roku is just a way to put apps and streaming services on a TV. You need to actually have a streaming service app that has those channels in order to watch the games. Look up who carries that and those are your choices. I did that to see Astros games-only DirectTv, DirectTV Stream, FuboTV and something else I can't remember what had them so those were my choices.

Installed roku stick - get picture but no sound. Do I need an additional sound bar?

I didn't and it doesn't require one. There might be something wrong with it or try doing the IT thing-turn it off and turn it back on.
