A Radiant Performance By Dafoe!
on June 4, 2021
Posted by: MinniesGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this having just recently seen the trailer for it - and was immediately reeled in by Willem Dafoe's participation. His performance, was indeed, SUPERB! One you truly would not want to miss.

A must have for Kevin Smith fans.
The nostalgia in this one is so satisfying! It cleverly incorporates all of our favorite highlights from Smith's repertoire and cameos, cameos, cameos galore!
Satisfaction guaranteed.

It's Fish's first night out of prison. The four men he has protected with silence invite him to dinner, that features an elaborate sushi menu served on a seemingly catotonce, beautiful, naked woman on the dinner table. The thieves can't help but to open old wounds in an attempt to find their missing loot.

Worthwhile
on May 21, 2021
Posted by: MinniesGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I personally enjoy this film and was pleased to upgrade my DVD copy to the higher Blu-ray resolution.
It's not a high-end production. It probably qualifies as a B-movie, but it highlights some A-list appearances. I really enjoy Mark Hamill's contribution and Michael Biehn graces the cast as well.
It has a nice blend of dark humor and a couple pretty intense, gritty scenes. The storyline is satisfactory.
Don't overlook this gem! I see this one as going out of print at some point - and you will be glad that you bought it here now!

Great Value, Shelf Smart.
on May 21, 2021
Posted by: MinniesGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was pleased with the opportunity to have all four of these titles in one convenient and shelf-space conscious compilation!
I personally would not have sacrificed the shelf space for the third and fourth movies - but I do consider the Tim Burton/Michael Keaton films to be essential viewing material in my household. This is not to say that the third and fourth movies do not have some redeeming qualities - I just wouldn't have purchased them separately - but I'm definitely pleased to have them now in this tidy collection!

Authentic Grimm's Style!
on May 21, 2021
Posted by: MinniesGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked this up during the Black Friday sale - and, I must say, what a pleasant surprise!
A family feature: this is not - unless the kids are securely in their teens.
There were some seriously dark themes to the backstory and parts of the movie are downright creepy! Just as the Grimm's Brothers intended it to be.
The characters were all well acted and the production quality was solid.
Definitely worth the watch!

With a massive 5000mAh battery, this phone can easily last you up to 3 days. That combined with a powerful 48MP triple camera system and a big 6.6" screen truly makes this phone a trusted essential. Android 10. 4G speed.

"It'll Do In A Pinch".
on May 21, 2021
Posted by: MinniesGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this online to replace my previous Motorola phone - which met it's abrupt demise through misadventure - so I had to make a quick decision and, furthermore, found it necessary to order online.
I chose this model because it was the same manufacturer as my previous phone, so I thought operation would be very similar. I was also attracted to the significant upgrade of the camera and the larger size.
BB had it at my home quick, fast (and free) and in a hurry! It arrived the morning after I submitted my order - so much quicker than I would have had an opportunity to shop for one in person.
Set up was straightforward enough. It was especially convenient in that it imported all of my apps from my previous phone via Bluetooth, although, some of my media files and photos did not transfer from the old phone?
Then we hit a snag. The phone performed all of its functions except it would not receive texts. It would send them fine - it just didn't receive. Three tedious phone calls to my carrier and no joy. It was about a week later when I had an opportunity to get in store to ask one of the pros - where BB prevailed again! When I explained to the associate what was going on - even without knowing which phone I had purchased, the associate immediately asked if it was a Motorola. Apparently these have something of a reputation for exactly this. He told me in order for the problem to be remedied, I would have to obtain a new SIM card from my carrier as they were not a company that BB represents). It is further worth noting that if it were with a major carrier, the associate would have simply given me a new SIM card there on the spot. Instead, I had to hash it out for hours with my carrier once again, who were incredibly reluctant to accommodate me on this. It took hours and five phone calls before I was given the option to PURCHASE a new one. The issue was then resolved and I then had full function of all features of my new phone.
My primary gripes about this model are:
It's actually too big! It's probably great for gaming or watching videos, but for normal use - not so much. I also can't slide it into my back pocket - which is how I was accustomed to carrying them.
I absolutely despise the back navigation feature on this phone. It's a half screen slide from the right edge of the phone, so when scrolling on the internet - this phone often goes back to the last page when I am actually trying to view more content on the page that I am on. It's a problem.
Overall, I have an operational phone that does what I need it to do - but it was something of a hassle to get it rolling. I'm certainly not in love with it and when it comes time to replace again - it will definitely be a different model.

Having survived a 20-year incarceration for tax evasion, the notorious pirate Yellowbeard (Graham Chapman, Monty Python's Life of Brian) escapes to claim his hidden treasure after the Royal Navy imposes a bogus additional prison sentence. Gathering a crew of miscreants and near-do-wells (AKA his friend and companions), Yellowbeard sets out to locate the treasure map (which has been inexplicably tattooed on his son's head) and find the booty in this comic riff on the swashbuckler. With supporting turns from cast mates John Cleese, Eric Idle, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Martin Hewitt, 'Cheech' Marin, Tommy Chong, Peter Cook, Spike Milligan, Ferdy Mayne and James Mason, Yellowbeard provides hilarious hi jinks on the high seas.

A Swashbuckling Good Time!
on February 22, 2020
Posted by: MinniesGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was SO excited to find this had been released on Blu Ray! My DVD copy is over a decade old and I was afraid that if it failed - this movie would be forever lost to me!
In comedic style - it meets somewhere between Mel Brooks and Monty Python. If you enjoy the works of those genius funnymen - you won't want to miss this one! Features appearances by Cheech and Chong, Graham Chapman, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn (perhaps my favorite of her roles) and don't miss David Bowie's cameo!

John Carpenter Mania!
on February 16, 2020
Posted by: MinniesGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
The recent release of the fabulous John Carpenter steelbook Edition's has rejuvenated the demand for the works of the Master of Horror!
This title in particular is the most elusive to put your hands on - if you were unable to obtain this title in the steelbook Edition here is your best alternative!
I highly recommend taking advantage of its current availability at today's price (so you don't end up paying what I did to get your hands on it later!)

Tune in "Boys and Ghoul's"
on February 16, 2020
Posted by: MinniesGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was an enthusiastic fan of the Tales From the Crypt series, and of the three feature-length films this is definitely my favorite! I saw it opening weekend in the theaters and probably a hundred times since on DVD.
This Blu-ray release is often listed as out of print on some other marketing sites which are charging extravagant prices to get your hands on Blu-ray copy. It is, in fact, obviously not out of print - but there are very few reputable retailers carrying this title - one of which is right here. I encourage you to buy your copy here today before it actually is gone!

Heinlein done right!
on February 16, 2020
Posted by: MinniesGirl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been an avid reader of Robert A. Heinlein since high school.
There have been several attempts at bringing his work to the screen with varying degrees of success but in all cases the Hollywood alterations have compromised Heinlein's unique style, making them "just movies". This little masterpiece has managed to capture that beautifully!
Adapted from the short: "All You Zombies" with fantastic performances from Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook.
I have no doubt that this title will eventually "go dark" and people will have to resort to paying extravagant prices on eBay to get their hands on a copy - get yours before this happens!

Believe the hype. 5G speed is unbelievably fast, and motorola one 5G is bringing it to everyone. Download your favorite movies in minutes1. Feel like you~re right there with ultra-clear video chats. And fuel epic wins in online games without lag. motorola one 5G takes your pictures further too. Capture every moment with a 48 MP quad camera system, including dual front cameras with an ultra-wide option to fit 4x more in the shot2. Then enjoy your photos, movies, and more on a huge CinemaVision display with an ultra-wide view. All powered by a solid two-day battery3. With motorola one 5G, all that hype suddenly makes sense.

Factory Reset Will Remedy Messaging App Issue
October 20, 2021
I had the identical issue with my most recent Motorola purchase.
All features of my phone worked out of the box on initial setup except for the messaging app. Even more frustrating is that I could send messages - I just couldn't receive them. It was nearly a week before I had the opportunity to return the Best buy and their resident team immediately identified the issue. Something about the SIM card "being out of date" for these new Motorola models? The representative at the cell phone kiosk said that replacing it (my 6 year old SIM card) with a new SIM card would immediately remedy the issue - but the problem there was - my carrier is not represented by Best buy or they would have simply exchanged my SIM card on the spot and free of charge.
I spent another frustrating week attempting to obtain a newer SIM card through my carrier - who was incredibly uncooperative. The matter was ultimately resolved by simply resetting the phone to factory settings and repeating the setup process. I then immediately received all of the text messages from the previous two weeks!
This would have been such a simple process if I had known to do it the day I got my phone!
I hope this information is helpful to others in avoiding the same situation. I have been satisfied with my Motorola phone operation ever since!

motorola one 5G ace is here which could only mean one thing. Superfast 5G speed for all. Download movies in seconds. Get over two days of battery life. View everything in true-to-life color on the 6.7" Full HD+ Max Vision display. And capture sharper low-light photos with the 48 MP camera system. The future is fast, and it~s here today with motorola one 5G ace. Android 10.
 

Why does my Motorola moto one ace not let me receive txt messages or use video chat with my straight talk sim, but am able to send txt messages and use all other features?

I recently had the same issue with my most recent Motorola purchase.

Everything worked on initial setup except for my messaging app, which could send but was unable to receive messages.

I have been with my third party carrier (and the same SIM card) for 6 years. The first suggestion I was given was to put in an updated SIM card - but I could not get cooperation from my carrier in sending me one. If you are currently with a carrier that is supported by Best Buy they will replace the SIM card for you in store free of charge.

The resolution that worked for me was to factory reset my phone. Had I known to do this immediately - it would have saved me so much stress and hassle! I immediately got the full backlog of text messages that I had not been receiving in the two weeks prior to the reset.

I would definitely recommend trying this if you are experiencing the same issue with your Motorola phone on initial setup!
