 The Last of Us - PlayStation 3
The Last of Us - PlayStation 3
The wind blows freely down the corridor of what was once a canyon of skyscrapers populated by million-dollar businesses, employees in suits and citizens on cell phones. A constant stream of yellow taxi cabs used to flow steadily down the asphalt streets. Now, Mother Nature has reclaimed what was hers, and vegetation engulfs the massive cities in patches. A modern plague outsmarted our civilized medicine, so now our cities now lie abandoned, and what's left of the American population is forced to do whatever it takes to survive. Neighbors who were friends, now kill each other for a loaf of bread — or a rifle — whatever they can get their hands on to help them live another day. In this decimated democracy, two individuals join up to work together in order and attempt the dangerous journey across the country. Will these two be able to survive the trek — or will they be The Last of Us?Developed by Naughty Dog, the creators of the popular Uncharted franchise, comes The Last of Us. Carefully blending elements of survival and action, The Last of Us defines a genre by placing you in the heart of the adventure to outlast a modern plague on your journey across the decimated United States. Playing as Joel, a survivor, and Ellie, a teenage girl who is much braver and wiser than her age would suggest, you must work together to fend off dangerous foes, terrifying enemies and other survivors who will do anything to save themselves. Every minute of every hour of every day is a struggle to outlive the next person you encounter — do you have the mental and physical strength to make it?

Frist off I am amazed at the Morons that gave this Blu-ray package a bad review because they are upset at "Best Buy". Grow Up!
Now back to the review which is what the review feature is about. To review the "Item" for sale.
This is a must have film for your movie collection. The first real big summer blockbuster. You know the plot, the actors, the director. So the review is on the Blu-ray transfer.
Picture a 10 - The entire restoration process was conducted in conjunction with Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment's post-production team to ensure the integrity of Spielberg's original vision remained intact.
Audio a 10 - DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1
Extras a 10 - The Shark is Still Working: The Impact and Legacy of Jaws #SD; 1:41:21#. This is listed as an "all new" feature length documentary, but Jaws fans will know it actually comes from 2007. This is a fantastic overview not just about the film and its technical challenges, but how the film influenced scores of subsequent filmmakers.
Jaws: The Restoration #HD; 8:28# is an in-depth look at the efforts made to restore Jaws, featuring several Universal executives and technicians, as well as Steven Spielberg.
The Making of Jaws #SD; 2:02:48# is another really in-depth #vintage# piece that looks at the nuts and bolts #and animatronic hydraulics# of putting the film together. Spielberg, Peter Benchley and a host of others involved in the production are interviewed.
From the Set #SD; 8:56# is a vintage #1974# making of featurette with a very young Steven Spielberg.
Deleted Scenes and Outtakes #SD; 13:33#
Jaws Archives
Original Theatrical Trailer #SD; 3:15#
UV and DVD Copies
Pocket BLU App
D-Box and BD Live Enab
You may know the movie but watching the documentaries on the making of the film is very informative. Looking at young Steven Spielberg just getting started. And to think Richard Dreyfuss thought he made a mistake after signing on to do the film. During production he thought it was going to be a major flop.
The package contains over 40 pages of information on the cast / crew etc. If you like classic films, action films well-made film this is a must have. It stands up to anything released today over 35 years later. And still makes you afraid to go into the water.

WB has spent time and money restoring David Lean's classic film. ANd it shows. It's 1080p/VC-1 transfer breathes new life into Lean's masterpiece, Audio is a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track. Doctor Zhivago tells the story of a love affair during the russian revolution and the civil war that followed.
The set includes 3 discs. The third being a bonus 20 minute audio CD sampler of the films soundtrack. All packaged in a gorgeous 40-page digibook. There are many extras on the 2 disc's including "The Making of Doctor Zhivago", "Doctor Zhivago: A Celebration" , "Behind the Camera with David Lean" , "New York Press Interviews" and many more. If you collect classic films you need to add this film to your collection. Doctor Zhivago has never looked so good.

What's not so great: Over priced at $40.
We bought a Wii on sale and I have to say it is a fun gaming console. With that said I never understand why these game consoles only come with one controller? We needed to purchase a second contoller and had to pay $40 for it. And of course another Wii MotionPlus Accessory at $20. So after getting the game console for $179 you have to pay out an additonal $60 for a second controller. If your looking for additional controllers I suggest looking and buying a used one at shops like Gamestop for half the price.

Andy Dufresne is a young and successful banker whose life changes drastically when he is convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover. Set in the 1940's, the film shows how Andy, with the help of his friend Red, the prison entrepreneur, turns out to be a most unconventional prisoner.
Tim Robbins strolls through his scenes like a man in a park, at one with his surroundings but clearly engaged mentally with some deep secret. Morgan Freeman, over the course of his three parole hearings, goes convincingly from subservient to resigned. And director Frank Darabont wrings every bead of lifeblood from King's story, frequently elevating the material into something poetic and grand.
PQ: 1080p VC-1 transfer to be practically faultless.
Audio: Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track is wonderfully broad, dynamic, and clear.
The Special Edition Digibook packaging is great for a classic film like this. Many extras are included. This is a great film and should be in everyone's collection.
I would recommend this to a friend!

SAM55 Mobile Vehicle Charger

Hello,
I bought your mobile vehicle charger kit SAM55 for a Samsung cell phone I no longer have.
Does the SAM55 kit have an adapter for the Samsung cell phone model T-239?

I no longer have the box or packageing and won't have the new phone until next Monday. I just would like to know if I'm going to have to waste money on another vehicle charger. I hate buying systems with so much waste. when I'd reallyonly need a 5" piece of cable and correct adapter plug.

THANK YOU,
The Token Gimp
The samsung charger I bought from Best Buy came with 5 different adapters to fit the different Samsung phone inputs. I have the Eternity but it also had one for the my Samsung Mantra. Did your charger kit come with adapters?
