I first order the Apple Watch Stainless Steel with the black sport band to keep the cost down while still getting the Watch. I recently upgraded with the addition of the Milanese Loop and this makes the watch look so beautiful and it's cooler than the elastomer sport band.

What's great about it: Minimal design, doesn't add bulk, works with Apple smart cover
What's not so great: Feels "icky."
The Belkin Shield Sheer Matte Case looks nice and works with the Apple Smart Cover. I do like the minimal look since it doesn't change the look of the iPad Air very much. What I don't care for is the way it feels. Any piece of dust feels gritty on this plastic material. It's also a bit expensive for what it is. Overall, if you don't want leather, which I do not, it's not a bad option when combined with the Smart Cover. But it's not perfect.

What's great about it: Jessica Lange, Story, Acting
The first season of AHS is a landmark in television entertainment ; it's a roller coaster ride of terror with moments of campy humor. Expect the unexpected! Jessica Lange and cast remarkable supported by excellent scripts and direction.

What's great about it: The Spirit of Gatsby wondrously updated
What's not so great: N O T H I NG
This film shot in native 3D was so many things: modern but a compelling homage to a bygone era. The music though contemporary and urban blended right in; the camera, the choice of well thought out immersive 3D, sumptuous color and fabulous acting cries out to be added to any serious 3D collector. A not miss. Loved it in the the cinema and even more at home.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: The whole boring experience
This film was not shot natively in 3D. Anyone liking the 3D has lower aspirations as to what 3D can do. To compare the 3D to Scorcese's HUGO is ridiculous. HUGO was a 3D masterwork done by a true artist. Immortals is mind-numbing junk.

What's great about it: Absolutely nothing
What's not so great: Fake 3D, dull acting, drab
I saw this movie in IMAX 3D, walked out, and got my money back. First of all, it's poorly-done post produced 3D. Another words, fake 3D: dim, dark, with little internal depth and no outward depth. The film was just dull as well. Films not shot in native 3D should be labeled as such. Save your money. This one is a stinker.

What's great about it: Story, 3D, acting, pacing of plot.
The Polar Express is one of those rare children's movies that adults will enjoy equally. The 3D in this film is amazing and one of my favorites for showing off 3D on my Sony Bravia TV. I tend to like "edgy" films but this one warmed my heart. Recommended!

What's great about it: Fast Set-Up, Easy & Accurate
What's not so great: Online manual is a little skimpy
This is a terrific GPS unit. Totally easy and intuitive to use. Information on the battery was too brief in the online manual. I was helped by a very competent tech person at Garmin. While the Nuvi255WT is plugged into the car charger and being used, the battery isn't being charged but it won't deplete To charge it, it must be off.. For this reason, I purchased the indoor charger to give it a full charge evrey so often. I also purchaded the Garmin bean bag dash holder to keep it off the windshield. Make sure you get the 255 with the WT as that model comes with free lifetime traffic information (with some advertising). The FM receiver is built into the car charger. I really like this a lot!

What's great about it: fun accessory
What's not so great: usb cable much too short
Why Sony made the Playstation Eye's cable so short seems not well conceived. Todays's larger TVs (RP or Flat Panel) need more that 6 1/2 feet even if you're playing Eye of Judgement. To mount it on top of your TV for other applications is difficult due to short cable. Buy an extender cable. Othwise, nice accessory.

I'm considering getting a smart tv will I have to purchase an additional cable box for it? I'm not sure how that works

If you have cable, then yes if you want all your regular channels, too. "Smart" means that the TV will be WIFI and will come with apps (the way smart phones do) like Netflix, Hulu Plus, VUDU, and many, many more plus often You Tube, etc. The browsers on Smart TVs often stink but the apps are nice. I can watch Netflix via my Sony TV, my Blu ray player, my iPad, etc Another words, the "smartness" is independent of cable content. You don't need a cable box for it but then you'll only be watching things such as Netflix without cable.

wireless headphones

how do you hook up to these tv's?
They connect with a cable set top box or a satellite receiver using an HDMI cable. Or you can connect with an over the air digital antenna using the cables recommended by the antenna manufacturer. You can also purchase an inexpensive sound bar with passive subwoofer to augment the sound. I have my 55" Sony, DIRECTV DVR Genie, Blu Ray Player, and PS3 all feeding into a Sony Home Theater 7.2 receiver which is a bit more involved but the DIRECTV is the main remote except when switching to Blu ray, etc. Another words, what are your needs? If you have cable or satellite, upgrade to a HD package- not mandatory but nicer. You'll pick up the details, one step at a time.

What is the difference between LED & LCD?

LED TVs are LCD TVs! LED is the light source used to illuminate LCD panels as opposed to the older fluorescent backlight technology. Marketing gimmicks label LED lit LCD TVs as LED TVs. NOT true.
