 Predator [WS] [DVD] [1987]
Predator [WS] [DVD] [1987]
Fox offers yet another excellent DTS audio transfer for Predator. During the scenes witnessed from the eyes of the alien, the rear speakers are wonderfully utilized to hear the soldiers' barely comprehensible voices. The depth of the sound field in these scenes helps to heighten the suspense of the film. The crisp DTS sounds shine during several shootout scenes, especially when all the soldiers fire at the unseen jungle for several minutes. This disc also includes a well-done 5.1-channel Dolby Digital transfer, as well as a decent 2.0-channel Dolby Surround track. The 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer on this disc is surprisingly uneven and varied. During certain scenes, the events on the screen shine with brilliance and clarity, while other portions contain large amounts of grain that hinder the overall presentation of the film. Overall, the visuals are stunning and work well, but the intermittent poor moments keep it from being an excellent transfer. This disc contains no extra features except for a brief theatrical trailer, which is presented in a full-screen format that is around VHS quality. It's nice to see a preview that gives away very little about the plot of the film. Of course, at that time, Arnold Schwarzenegger's name was enough to draw hordes of fans to a picture. The menus on this disc are amateurish and poor; in fact, they rank with some of the worst on any recent DVD.

This is an action packed Sci Fi movie that you have to watch over and over again. Keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Not one of Leo's best movies, but still a great little mystery with a plot twist that will keep you guessing.

 Unforgiven [DVD] [1992]
Unforgiven [DVD] [1992]
Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, which brought him Oscars for both Best Picture and Best Director, comes to DVD with a fantastic 2.35:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been mixed in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles can be accessed. Sadly, the only supplemental materials are production notes. Considering this is a modern classic, one might hope that Warner Bros. and/or Eastwood might have offered more insight into its making. Still, the picture and sound are as good as one could hope for, making this a fine DVD for any collection.

Bought this antenna for a little TV in the garage. This little antenna gets just as many channels as my full size Terk antenna mounted in my attic. Absolutely the best antenna for this price.

This is a great machine for the price. Does exactly what it is advertised. Vacuums and wet mops at the same time. However, don't but it expecting to replace your full size carpet cleaner. This is great for every week cleaning, but will still need to use our full size carpet cleaner for deep cleaning. Does leave the carpet and flooring fresh looking and smelling and picks up surface dirt. Helps by not making the deep cleaning easier.

This is a great little streamer. Perfect for hiding behind the TV hanging on the wall. No wires showing. Uses very little power. Only down sides are (1) the interface is a little slow when switching between apps, (2) the shows buffer from time to time in Netflix, and (3) the remote has to "reconnect" every once and a while.

I have an explorer chevy 2011 conversion van express 1500 and I need a new DVD player. The company told me it was a viewmax dvd player and to replace it here at best buy. The VIN number is IGBSHDC41B1104070. Thanks so much. Please recommend.

This DVD player will suit your needs just fine, but make sure it fits the space first. Very compact DVD. Very simple to use.

We have Comcast cable and our TV automatically seeks the HD channel for a particular chosen channel. Does this DVD player have to run on channel 3 like the older ones or will it play regardless of the channel. Our TV seeks the HD channel for channel 3.

No. This can be connected directly to any source on your TV. I have mine plugged into a TV that doesn't have any TV service. I just watch DVDs on the TV.

Can I install and use a solid state drive to run in combination with the hard drive?

I haven't opened up the back of my unit yet ... but based on the size and how much is crammed into the small space - I highly doubt it. Probably best if you contact HP support.

What is the expected life of this unit? What is best to ensure longer life...turn it off every night or leave it run 24-7?

It is (basically) a very big laptop. Expected life is about the same as a laptop. A tower would last longer.

Where is the media SD card reader slot on this unit?

The media card reader is on the "bottom" ... just about front and center when looking at the monitor - very awkward placement.

How I turn off roku 2. I don't see any buttom to turn off

The Roku 2 does not have a power button. It will go to "sleep" by itself after a certain amount of non-use time. If you want to turn it off, you will need to plug it into a switch of some kind (like a power strip).
