Wild animated superhero ride
on March 20, 2020
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're looking for superhero ridiculousness, you've got it by the truckload here, mashing up samurai and sentai genres with assorted anime tropes with eye-popping 3D animation.

Not worth it

Bought this for its wireless charging functions, but was sorely disappointing. The charging only occasionally worked, and the slanted top wouldn't even hold the phone for very long.

Deserved better
on March 20, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Apart from a lot of dodgy CGI (the opening flashback excluded, which features some of the best de-aging effects this side of a Marvel movie) and the "been there, done that" vibe of the whole thing, Dark Fate is a much better movie than its poor box office showing, and I've no doubt more people will eventually awaken to its merits. If this really is the end of the saga, it could have gone a lot worse.

No mystery how good this is
on March 20, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
A hoot of a movie that's gotten better on the past two viewings, as droll, drawling Daniel Craig, with the heartwarming Ana de Armas at his side, navigate through a minefield of unscrupulous suspects.

An explosive return to Z-Land
on January 24, 2020
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
Apart from a couple bits (and characters) that go on way too long, DOUBLE TAP delivers on its decade-long wait and mostly avoids needlessly rehashing the first apart from the occasional (and effective) self-aware joke. The main cast's original charm is back and still firing strong, powering them through a plethora of laughs and slick zombie kills, with an extended single-take doozy of an action scene taking the spotlight. This one nutted up, all right.

A grim fable that's anything but a joke
on January 15, 2020
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
That anyone walks away from JOKER believing it celebrates the title character's antics is befuddling. The music alone is telling half the story here, and every cue from Hildur Guðnadóttir's haunting score is a clear-as-day hint this is not a man to be admired or emulated. Only in Arthur Fleck's demented imagination is this about the rise of a superstar; for everyone else, it's an express elevator into psychological hell, with Joaquin Phoenix's thespianic godhood at the helm.

The OG Xenomorph looking better than ever
on December 27, 2019
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
It had to be hard to improve over the already impressive Alien Anthology disc, but the 4K remaster still manages to stand head and shoulders above it, with color and detail levels unprecedented for this title.

Upgrade in play quality, but limited streaming
on December 27, 2019
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
I sought this model out over the lower-priced X700 because of its Bluetooth option, and in that alone it was worth the expense to cleanly connect to my headphones for late-night viewing. Play quality is also improved over my last 4K deck, with not only Dolby Vision (which, FYI, you have to manually turn off for non DV-enabled discs), and it's eliminated an annoying problem I was experiencing with the smearing of scenes with intense red lighting. The biggest downside is a lack of streaming options, with only Netflix, Prime, and YouTube built in with no apparent function to install more, but my TV already supplies whatever other apps I need.

This set contains every episode from the thrilling final season of the hit HBO series based on George R.R. Martin's series of novels, following the brutal power struggle for the Iron Throne of Westeros.

Well... *I* liked it.

‪I for one have been thoroughly entertained and fulfillled by this final season, as I have been by the series a whole. And this conclusion felt... I guess “logical” would be the best descriptor.

Epic viewing with epic restoration
on December 17, 2019
Posted by: Josh
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's easy to see why Spartacus is so influential and considered "genre-defining" - it's as grandiose and melodramatic as one could expect an event film of yesteryear can be. It's also the least Kubrickian of Kubrick's works I've so far enjoyed; one can spot his visual signature in certain set designs and shot compositions, otherwise it plays far more like the work of Cecil B. DeMille than the director of Dr. Strangelove or 2001. The restoration, without hyperbole, is PRISTINE, so really I couldn't have picked a better opportunity to finally watch this.

The advanced LG OLED evo C5-Series is better than ever. The LG OLED evo C5 is powered by the next-gen Alpha 9 Gen8 AI Processor ~exclusively made for LG OLED~for ultra-realistic picture and sound along with boosted brightness for luminosity and high contrast, even in well-lit rooms. AI-assisted deep learning analyzes what you're watching and uses your preferences to choose the best picture and sound setting for your content. The C5's almost invisible bezel, ensures it blends with your surroundings. When you're finished watching, display art, photos and other content make the C5 a versatile statement piece. Search less and stream more, thanks to the next generation of AI technology from LG webOS 25. Every LG OLED comes loaded with Dolby Vision for extraordinary color, contrast and brightness, plus Dolby Atmos~ for immersive sound you can feel all around you. FILMMAKER MODE allows you to see films just as the director intended. Packed with gaming features, the LG OLED evo C-Series comes with everything you need to win like a 0.1ms response time, native 120Hz refresh rate, with VRR for PC gaming and four HDMI 2.1 inputs.
 

I have an older LG OLED television that has permanently burnt-in [ad] icon on the screen due to Hulu's yellow disclaimer. I want to ensure that this model isn't subject to the same problem as the older TV.

It's my understanding the risk of burn-in is still present, but running Pixel Refresh on a regular basis can help prevent it (google for a recommended schedule based on your usage).

Vinyl audio has authenticity that digital can~t compete with, but you can~t argue with the convenience of modern wireless speakers either. With the Insignia Bluetooth Stereo Turntable, you can enjoy old school music using the latest technology. The turntable~s manual belt-drive design plays your 33-1/3 and 45 rpm 12-inch records. Its adjustable counterweight and magnet cartridge provide reliable tracking and a rich sound that help you lose yourself in the music. Connect a Bluetooth speaker wirelessly to make your music portable, or plug in your tried-and-true wired speakers with one simple connection. After your record is done playing, the turntable will turn off automatically and the detachable cover shields your turntable when it~s not in use. Music holds a lot of memories, and it can also create new ones. Make them count with this Insignia Bluetooth turntable.
 

Can I pair this with my favorite blue tooth speaker?

Yes. Just place the speaker in pairing mode, then hold down the Bluetooth button on the turntable until it starts flashing blue and red. It should be paired when it turns solid blue, and you should hear something from the speaker.
