Good Christmas fun
on December 28, 2025
Posted by: gdiva
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like non-traditional Christmas movies. With all the big names in this I expected it to be amazing. It was good, but not spectacular. So far, my newest Santa movie is still Violent Night. One of the funniest and action-packed Christmas movies second only to Die Hard and Lethal Weapon.

I have been converted from cable
on December 28, 2025
Posted by: gdiva
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is probably the best gift I have ever bought for myself! I was very skeptical for the whole streaming thing, but I just LOVE Roku! It was very easy to set up; in less than 5 minutes I was streaming through so many channels on my basement TV that gets poor reception. I immediately bought 2 more and cancelled my cable TV subscription once I added my "plus" channels-Paramount, Disney, Hulu and Netflix. And, when I had to replace my TV, I got an Onn Roku. And because of the app, it helped streamline my setup. Just great!

The Wiz x 2
on December 28, 2025
Posted by: gdiva
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have loved the Wiz since I first saw it in the theaters. Just a great film and amazing Quiny Jones music. I did not know there was a Live with Queen Latifa until I saw this on the BB website. Even though I already have the movie, I had to have this collection.

As World War II waned, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) made sure that an ancient dial crafted by Archimedes-said to hold the key to time travel-stayed out of Axis hands. In 1969, goddaughter Helena Shaw (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) approached the aged archeologist-adventurer concerning the device... and spurred a global chase by Nazis determined to retrieve it. James Mangold's thrilling franchise capper co-stars Mads Mikkelsen, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, and Karen Allen. 154 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Great film series finale
on December 28, 2025
Posted by: gdiva
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have loved almost all of the Indy movies (not as fond of #2), but this one makes a near perfect end to the series. If you no nothing of Indiana Jones the first and third are probably the best of them all.

Growing up in New York City, George Carlin was always the class clown. He went on to become one of the great comedians of our time, with appeal that has spanned generations. The first-ever host of NBC's Saturday Night Live, Carlin went on to star in twelve of his own HBO specials over the course of his scathingly hilarious career, earning four Grammy~ awards in the process. His provocative sociopolitical commentary and biting comic style have continued to win over audiences both new and old. JAMMIN' IN NEW YORK When George Carlin is asked which HBO concert is his favorite, his answer is always Jammin' In New York. The show is a perfect blend of biting social commentary and more gently-observed observational pieces. WHAT AM I DOING IN NEW JERSEY? George Carlin's sixth HBO standup special aired as a live broadcast from the Park Theater in Union City, New Jersey. The live performance includes the classic routines InchCars & Driving II'Inch InchReagan's Gang, Church People, and American Values,Inch InchPeople I Can Do Without,Inch and InchKeeping People Alert.Inch

Carlin-- what else is there to say?
on December 28, 2025
Posted by: gdiva
Verified Purchase:Yes
Carlin was probably one of the most creative comedic geniuses EVER. Starting with his hippy dippy weather man in the 60s, the 7 words you can't say on TV, and to his later commentary on everything, I have seen him live in concert several times and have started collecting his performances just to show my friends what great comedy is.

Another Statham win
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: gdiva
Verified Purchase:Yes
With only a few exceptions, there is not a Jason Statham movie that does not deliver great action, humor and excitement. This movie is no exception. I was not a big Hugh Grant fan, but even he was good in this.

Could have been more...
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: gdiva
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was really excited that they were doing this film to tie up any loose ends and close out the series with a great film. This one was okay, if not a little disappointing. I liked the new characters (especially the roommate), but it just seemed like this was "thrown together," nothing new was really introduced to the storyline. I recommend it for those who know the story and want closure.

Great story, good scares
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: gdiva
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of the scariest, based on real events movies I have seen in quite a while. This movie reminds me of "The Rite" with Sir Anthony Hopkins. Both excellent films. I searched for this movie for my movie collection, but I was not happy that it was not put on Black Friday discount -- prices are way excessive this year.

Great addition to the Marvel-verse
on October 18, 2022
Posted by: gdiva
Verified Purchase:Yes
Chris Hemsworth is SO gorgeous and makes an excellent Thor, but what is absolutely incredible is Tom Hiddleston. He looks exactly like Loki from the comics. The makeup is amazing. I like that this series is more light, less somber than most of the Marvel movies up to this point.

Why does my Roku express keep rebooting?

If you have it plugged into your TV as the power source sometimes it will do that because it can consider that a weak power source. I had that problem until I plugged it into a wall adapter. Good luck, Hope this helps.

So do I pay a monthly fee for the Roku? I don’t really inderstand how this works…. If u have this you don’t pay monthly fees for these channels?

Once you buy it -- that's it unless you purchase the add-on premium channels through Roku. It has over 400 free channels for you to watch live, and through the Roku Channel it has something similar to DVR where you watch seasons of some of the shows. If you already have "plus" channels like Netflix, Apple TV, Disney, etc, you just go under the media section and sign in, and it saves your information.

Can I use headphones?

Yes, if your TV has aux in for headphones. The media player connects to the TV audio through an HDMI cable, so it does not have a speaker in it.

Is it possible to connect a 8 year old Bose speaker system to my new Roku 40 " TV?

I think Bose is adaptable to use with anything no matter how old it is so long as you have the right connecting cables.

Is this device compatible with Xfinity app

yes. So long as you use it in the Xfinity cable area. I have not tried using it with a Xfinity hotspot, it may let you go further away.

Does this machine navigate and clean well on standard household stairs... the type of carpeted stairs found between the first and second stories of a typical home? Thanks.

Yes, using the hose and head attachment. I usually have to carry it to the landing to get all of the stairs clean. But, it is very light, even when full.

Does it have an hdmi output . I think I see one

No, it does not. It has a LOT of usb connections in front and in back, but no HDMI, which is why I had to get a different monitor.

Does it come with all necessary cords

Yes it does, including a keyboard and mouse even though it does not tell you that in the description. I ended up buying extra. Just know that the wi-fi has been disabled, and requires the purchase of an adapter, unless you are plugging it directly into the modem.
