Being a fan of Tarzan (have seen all iterations), I was really waiting for this one. Indeed, the character is closer to the books than what those films of Johnny Weissmuller were but something does not work (in my opinion). I was hoping for a movie more along the lines of Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, which I considered the best so far (my opinion again) except that I wished for the film to have had more action. Well, the current film took care of that, lots of action. Problem is that it gets carried away with now available CG to the point that it becomes frantic and unbelievable. I guess I got my wish; still, it was entertaining and at the price I paid, well worth it.

 Banshee: The Complete Third Season [4 Discs] [DVD]
Banshee: The Complete Third Season [4 Discs] [DVD]
The crime-fighting sheriff known as Lucas Hood (Antony Starr) returns in Season Three of this action-packed crime drama series. All ten episodes of Banshee's third season are included in this collection, featuring Lucas and his deputy partners Brock Lotus (Matt Servitto) and Siobhan Kelly (Trieste Kelly Dunn) and their often violent showdowns. Plotlines include showdowns between Lucas' team and felonious neo-Nazis, a kidnapping carried out by a returning character, and bloody conflicts involving various gangs in the city of Banshee.
 
Another great season (perhaps the best?)

If you are reading this, you have seen the previous seasons and know what to expect. This series is somewhat(?) dark with humor to lighten :) it. Acting is solid, action sequences are great, with plot twists and mysteries (will we ever know "who is that guy" being one). This season is perhaps the one with the most action sequences (and perhaps one is the best of the whole series). You can view this seasons as "stand alone" and get a pretty good idea of what is happening. At the low price I got this one, I would have bought it even without having seen the previous seasons.

I was surprised by the quality of the garment. The material and the print were great. Best of all, found it marked as "clearance". It was to be a birthday present and the kid loved it.

 Banshee: The Complete Fourth Season [Blu-ray] [3 Discs]
Banshee: The Complete Fourth Season [Blu-ray] [3 Discs]
Every episode from the fourth and final season of Banshee is included. The action drama about an ex-con who assumes the identity of the sheriff of a small, out-of-the-way Pennsylvania town stars Antony Starr and Ben Cross.
 
Would go as high as 4 1/2 stars!

Let's face it, those who bought this (found it at a great price for Blu-Ray) have already gone thru all the previous seasons. If you are new and like action (some awesome action sequences here), a dark atmosphere with touches of fun, solid acting, mystery and plot twists, don't miss this series finale (or is it?). You may get all previous seasons and have a treat, but in a way, this season may be viewed as a stand alone.

If you are expecting a lot of action and mayhem in an apocalyptic world, this is not the film (go pick Lucy). This is intellectual sci-fi done in a way that what would seem to be tedious turns out to be as described: "mesmerizing". You continue watching this film wondering how it will end, thinking different theories as you go along. Worth it for the price and a must-have if you are a fan of Sci-Fi. Somehow, it brings to mind another strange film, Under the Skin.

I have been a fan of Mad Max since the 1st film came from down under and then. . . the 2nd film (The Road Warrior) was even better--a superb piece of filmmaking (and, yes, I liked Beyond Thunderdome). With Fury Road, things are the same and different. You could say that it takes place between the 2nd and 3rd film but I see this one as a new iteration of the series. We find a haunted Mad Max in an apocalyptic world that is now not as credible as the one in the Mel Gibson films, but what a ride this film is. For action fans, this is the film to have in your collection. The editing, the stunts (the film mainly relies on actual stunt work--instead of CGs--and there is a difference that can be seen) and acting are solid. Charlize Theron does not physically look ripped for the character but, boy, can she act! Waiting for the next one.

Since the console came with 1 wireless controller, I looked into the rechargeable batteries world. This charger/battery deal was great for the price--but it is a basically barebones gadget. I found it a plus that it is small and you can charge the batteries w/o removing them from the controller; others may find that a minus. I say this because you have to be careful when inserting the charger into the controller so as not to damage the port. The rechargeable batteries last a good time; time will tell about their longevity.

In my new exploration into the Xbox One world, I found myself needing another controller for COOP play. After looking at what was available, with the added luck of its being discounted, I decided on this one based on specs. I must say that I was not disappointed. It has lived up to its features. Being able to use any headset without the need to buy another MS accessory; the ability to map buttons and the extra buttons at a lower price than the standard MS controller is just great. It should be a 4 1/2 star review--1/2 off because in my particular setup, I could have used a longer cable.

 Call of Duty: Black Ops III Standard Edition - Xbox One
Call of Duty: Black Ops III Standard Edition - Xbox One
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the ultimate 3-games-in-1 experience. In Campaign mode, you must navigate the hot spots of a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. Players can play the campaign cooperatively or solo and are now always connected to the intelligence grid and their fellow operatives during battle. Multiplayer features a new momentum-based chained movement system, allowing players to fluidly move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, slides, and mantling. Black Ops III multiplayer also introduces the new Specialist character system, which allows players to master 9 characters' battle-hardened weapons and abilities through a challenge-based unlock progression system. No Treyarch title would be complete without its signature Zombies offering. "Shadows of Evil" has its own distinct storyline right out of the box, set in the fictional 1940s Morg City, where four particularly troubled individuals — the femme fatale, the magician, the detective, and the boxer — star in this film-noir inspired horror story.

This is first game using Xbox One-am used to PC gaming. Great game but probably (based on comments from other players who have played Xbox and seen same games in my PC--like FAR CRY, FALL OUT, etc series) not as versatile as PC version. Still, enjoyable since it allows you to play with someone else in split screen and without need to pay for those Xbox Live cards. Got it as part of a deal.

First time with Xbox (more of PC user, although did use PS2). Bought mainly to use as Blu-ray player but because of discount, getting 3 games (1 free pick up to $60)and substantial BB gift card, it was worth it. Great DVD player but takes time getting use to controller as remote; great graphics insofar the games I got (but my PC does better). If you are used to controllers, no big deal--still, would love to have a mouse to hookup to controller just for cursor movement/shooting (if anyone knows of one. . .). Instruction booklet is basically non-existent; took me a while to use controller, learn to navigate menus and get things done. Hook-up was fast. Nice that it can be used as a hub for gaming, tv, cable, etc. but I have so far kept using my smart tv built-in apps.
