Never played the first one, but I really enjoyed this sequel. Fun story, neat upgrades, great gameplay. Too short, though. Left me wanting more after I was done.

Fun sex comedy starring two actors from the original Fright Night, Stephen Geoffreys and Amanda Bearse. Also stars two alumni from the Re-Animator series, Barbara Crampton and Kathleen Kinmont, in eye-opening roles. Good transfer from Scorpion.

Gently eccentric patriarch Nathan Gardner (Nicolas Cage) was trying to eke out a simple living for his family on the New England farm he inherited. Their existence would take a terrifying turn after a small meteor crashed onto the property... and it's radiation wreaked bizarre and catastrophic transformations on surrounding plant and animal life alike. Passion project take on the H.P. Lovecraft chiller from director Richard Stanley co-stars Joely Richardson, Madeleine Arthur, Q'orianka Kilcher, Tommy Chong. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

good despite cage

I'm really glad to see Richard Stanley back in the director's chair. Decent Lovecraft adaptation and Cage keeps it low-key for the most part. Too bad no HDR on the UHD for all the titular color.

Enjoy deep-fried flavor with 80 percent less oil by using this Chefman air fryer. It circulates hot air around the food for a crispy result with less calories and holds 14.5 cups, so you can prepare everything from chicken to cheese sticks. Cook food to perfection with this Chefman air fryer thanks to the 30-minute timer and auto-off functions.

As others have mentioned, the tray takes some adjustment every time you close it, otherwise the unit won't turn on. Other than that little problem, it gets the job done for fried foods and leftovers.

second unit
on December 3, 2019
Posted by: TOBy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this Roku for my mom after having owned one myself. Last year's Premiere was a larger unit and sat more aesthetically near the TV. This one is more than half its size and weight and tends to tilt or fall with the weight of the HDMI cable attached. There is a sticker you can use to stick it to your table, but who wants to ruin their table...
Performance-wise, it works almost as fast as last year's Premiere model. No real problems.

rare?

Posted by: TOBy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I ordered this the week of release and seemingly got the last copy as it is still "sold out" here on Best Buy a month later. I think I read somewhere that there are manufacturing delays on more copies.
I came for the performance, not the short movie. Setlist is okay, could have used more SoH. Sound should have been better (lossy and not enough punch).

I love the idea of this game and the pairing of the boy and animal, but you can easily get stuck not knowing where to go next or how to get the animal to follow you.

Does anybody know where the "Director's Cut" version of Phantasm II is ? My set appears not to have one. I very recently purchased the Phantasm Sphere Collection. Where is the Phantasm II (Director's Cut) never-before-seen X-rated sphere/gore sequence ?

The only added gore to the second movie is during the scene where the priest gets killed. There's only one version of the movie on the disc and that extended scene is in it. Not really a "director's cut" per se, but a slightly modified version.
