What's great about it: Funny, in a cave-man sort of way
What's not so great: Predictable, schmaltzy
OK, I have the impression that real cave me had it much worse than these guys, but that notwithstanding it definitely captures the non-tech world of Neanderthals. The best parts to me were the "discovery" of fire, the cute and ravenous "ground birds" and the quirky antics of Eve. Other than that, the movie is at times slow and tedious, with some overly cute, overly predictable moments (neon sabertooth kitty as buddy, anyone)?

What's great about it: Cinematography, a laid-back Brad Pitt
What's not so great: Been there, done that....too many times
Just my opinion, but yet another zombie movie. OK, granted it has Pitt and some interesting twists, and the zombie action is off the hook. The rapidity of the spread and the violence makes for great movie but you have to seriously suspend your belief. How is it different from the typical? It shows some of the basic methods in handling outbreaks (AKA Contagion which did a better job of that) and the pace is much more like recent The Walking Dead than the slow movement of older Z films. How is it the same? In everything else.

What's great about it: Economical, works great
What's not so great: No frills, not many expansion/output options
If you need fast internet, DOCSIS 3 and simple set up, this is it!. Useful for any cable internet user, and is Comcast compatible. Had very little problems with setup. Is a bit limited on outputs but that is to be expected for a basic cable modem. It does the job and does it well, and at a price point about 30% less than its competition.
This product has... Fast connection, Easy to set up, Reliable connection

What's great about it: The typical great action, cinematography, humor
What's not so great: Long in the tooth, bit of a weak plot
The Mandarin twist is a bit much to take in, and the movie could have done a lot more with Ben Kingsley, who is such a great actor. I am old school and familiar with the comic version of Mandarin, who is of Chinese origin. That element was totally removed, so a bit weird for me. The action and plot twists were clever, the Patriot inclusion pretty cool, otherwise there is evidence the franchise is getting long in the tooth. Time for an Avengers 2!

What's great about it: Sturdy, dependable, does everything a blender CAN do.
What's not so great: A little bulky, but that's to be expected.
One of the highest rated blenders by Consumer Reports, does all you would want a blender to do, and does it very well. Crushes ice, slices, purees, makes great smoothees.

What's great about it: Slim design, light weight, good features
What's not so great: Speakers are average at best, will need a soundbar.
Will not win points for being the sharpest or most immersive entertainment experience, but for the price is a good value with a fairly robust feature set.

If you are using composite connections (5 connectors) make sure you hook the colors up correctly.
