This movie is unlike any previous Marvel production - there's a lot of humor and a great soundtrack. Great cast and nice special effects for the home theater. The Blu-ray extras are cool too. Definitely recommended!

This game has pretty awesome graphics and the extras make it so much better. Got it on sale which was another plus. I like this series better than the COD series.

What's great about it: everything is awesome!
What's not so great: nothing
I think this is a great movie for the whole family. It does skew towards a father-son relationship story. My 10 and 7 year old boys love this movie. There are a lot of funny one liners and the animation looks like stop action but is really all CGI. The blu-ray 3-D set extras are great. Is it worth the extra $30 for the exclusive lego minifigure, cardboard Emmit head and blu-ray extra on lego master builders? Maybe not for the average fan but we got it on sale so yes for a hard core fan like myself.

What's great about it: good sound, hook around ears, extras
What's not so great: price, over-hyped
I got these because my bose ie2 would occaisionally fall out of my ears during workouts. These do not because of the hook. Most pictures do not show however that these powerbeats also fit in the outer ear canal like most ear buds. This provides a little more bass than the bose. But for the retail price of $150, i would say that the sound quality is not that much better than the bose. I PM'ed with online retailer and with my rewards points only paid about $6 for this; so this was worth the risk for me. However I do not think the sound quality is worth more than $100. It does come with a nice case that is compact and good for travel and a cord extender. I do not use the in line remote.

What's great about it: exactly what he wanted
What's not so great: nothing
My kids already had mario party 9, but for some reason wanted this one. This was cheaper than @Gamestop and the disc arrived with everything - case, booklet and disc in perfect condition. Kids love playing this more than the aforementioned party 9. Good price and free shipping via elite plus status.

What's great about it: nice animation and graphics
What's not so great: new game every year?
I played this with my bro and we had a fun time. The home run challenge was fun too. Haven't bought a baseball game in a long time and the graphics are pretty cool. I also like playing in classic ballparks like the Polo grounds. I wish there was a way you could just download updated rosters every year instead of buying a whole new game. I would totally pay for that too (provided it was less than the updated game of course).

 Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy [P&amp;S] [DVD] [2004]
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy [P&S] [DVD] [2004]
Marking the directorial debut of Adam McKay, former head writer for Saturday Night Live and founder of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, Anchorman is set during the 1970s and stars Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, San Diego's top-rated news anchorman. While Burgundy is outwardly willing to adjust to the idea of females in the workplace -- even outside of secretarial positions -- he certainly doesn't want his own job challenged. Keeping that in mind, it's no wonder that the arrival of Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), an aspiring newswoman, is, in Ron's eyes, not the studio's most welcome addition. After Veronica pays her dues covering so-called female-oriented fluff pieces (think cat fashion shows and cooking segments), the ambitious Veronica sets her eyes on the news desk; more specifically, on Ron's seat behind it. Not unpredictably, Ron doesn't take the threat lightly, and it isn't long before the rival newscasters are engaged in a very personal battle of the sexes. Anchorman was co-written by Ferrell, and features supporting performances from David Koechner, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Tara Subkoff, and Maya Rudolph.

What's great about it: Deep bass
What's not so great: Needs batteries
Got this for $100 less than original retail. Need to be turned on to be able to listen. Therefore needs 2 working aaa batteries. The noise cancelling doesnt seem that good, a constant hiss without music playing. Looks really nice. Nice case. Great bass, i use this for hip hop music. Noticably heavier than bose.

 Nintendo Land - Nintendo Wii U
Nintendo Land - Nintendo Wii U
The advances of video games over the past two decades are impressive, to say the least. Crystal-clear graphics, immersive storylines, the introduction of online co-op gameplay — the differences are endless. But if you can remember sitting on the floor (close enough to hold the wired controller) around the TV with your buddies to play classic Nintendo games like Super Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong and the Legend of Zelda, then you'll always have a special place in your heart for the old-school games that came before all of these advances. They were, after all, the dawn of an era that has shaped the world today. Experience those moments of nostalgia in a new light with the impressive advances of today's video game technology through Nintendo Land. The fun and thrilling theme park of Nintendo Land is filled with 12 lively attractions modeled after beloved classics using unique and innovative gameplay made possible by the touch screen and intuitive capabilities of the versatile and ingenious Wii U GamePad. Steer Donkey Kong through a chaotic and precarious obstacle course with its motion control sensor. Take on armies of attacking ninjas in Takamura's Ninja Castle with a swipe of your finger across the touch screen. With the dynamic multiplayer mode allowing up to five players to participate, you and your friends will be able to play the same game while enjoying a completely different experience depending on whether you're controlling the GamePad. Chase your friends with an invisible ghost in Luigi's Ghost Mansion or battle ground-based players from an aerial gunship in Metroid Blast, all by utilizing the GamePad's innovative touch screen.

What's great about it: Capacity, magnetic doors
What's not so great: Noise, water dispenser
Our last fridge, Whirlpool Gold lasted only 9 years, was a side by side and needed 4 repair work orders, last one being a nonrepairable lighting module. We then looked for French door and bottom freezer and liked this one. The magnetic doors are great for kids art projects. Their grubby finger prints do show up on the surface pretty easily. The interior is spacious for young family of 5. Interior LED lighting is nice. What bugs me the most however is the ice dispenser. There is only one outlet and you have to press a touchscreen to decide between water or ice. Our last fridge had 2 outlets, one for ice, the other for water, which is much more convenient. But it looks like most fridges now only have 1 outlet. Also the touch screen is a bit tempermental, I have to lightly press a few times for it to select what I want. Also the ice spits outside the cup sometimes despite it being as close as possible to the outlet. Also this fridge is more noisy than our last, not sure if this is typical of French door models or because of the "twin cooling" feature. I am happy that BB PM'ed this model w/local competitor for $800 off MSRP. Free delivery and haul away (old fridge to our garage) is a plus too.

Keep your home networking equipment working when the electricity goes out with this APC Back-UPS Network 40 BN4001 UPS that features 4 battery-backup and surge-protection outlets to ensure electronics remain powered during outages.
 

Do I need an UPS?

I have a flat panel tv and soundbar plugged into an outlet that, when the air conditioner turns on, I get a momentary blip on the screen. Will a ups prevent this or what do I need?
a power conditioner would work, but i prefer a UPS with power conditioning so that even if your power goes completely out, u can continue to watch TV without a blip (unitl that back up battery runs out of juice)
