This film is enchanting from start to finish! The story is a new, and fascinating take on the granting of wishes by a genie (or djinn). The acting is excellent, as is the cinematography and the musical score. You are sure to be deeply engrossed in the film from start to finish!

Horror Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack [12 Discs] [DVD]
This 12-disc set contains 50 classic horror films including White Zombie with Bela Lugosi, The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney Sr., Bluebeard with John Carradine, Nosferatu, The Little Shop of Horrors with Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola's Dementia 13, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, and many more. The technical quality of the discs are underwhelming, but this set is certainly a case of quantity over quality.
I really do like this collection of classic horror and mystery movies and consider it a good value. I recommend its purchase if you like this content. However, the collection does have a few issues.
First of all, the picture of the box on the product description web page shows the "Anniversary Edition", with that label on the bottom of the box. I did not receive that edition, as can be seen in the attached photo of my box. To be fair, careful examination of the printed description of the product never says "Anniversary Edition". I deducted half a star for this error.
Second, there is no document in the box that catalogs the contents of each of the 12 double-sided dvds. The listing on the back of the box does not provide that information. The purchaser of the collection has to carefully examine the printing on the narrow band around the hole of each dvd to see what is on that side of the dvd. The marketer of this collection could have easily and cheaply provided that information on a single sheet of paper! For this omission I deducted another half star.
I deducted a full star for the poor packaging of the disks themselves. There are 12 double-sided dvds in the set. They are placed into 6 stiff cardboard holders, with a disk on each side. Half of each disk is exposed in these holders, and when placed in the box is in physical contact with a disk in the adjacent holder. As a result, the disks are in danger of getting scratched. I think it would have been cheaper and safer to have a proper dvd envelope for each disk.
Some other observations are worthy of note. The printing on the narrow band around the hole of the dvd is clear and looks long lasting. The dvds have a simple but functional menu system. They typically have only a few (typically 4) chapters set up for each film. There are typically 2 films on each side of the dvds.
Even with the issues detailed here I would recommend the purchase of this collection. It is hard to find physical media for these films, and they may become hard to find on-line to stream in the future.
The Insignia Slim Stylus for Smartphones, Tablets and More (3-Pack), easily type and draw on your touch screen devices wherever you are. Compatible with your iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone, tablets and any devices equipped with capacitive touch screens, create impressive digital drawings or use it to play games. A sensitive silicone tip glides across your screen without causing any scratches and omitting fingerprint smudges. They also come in a pack of three, giving three of your most used electronics its own stylus. Made of aluminum, this stylus works just like a pencil, making it easy to carry and use whenever you need it.
These styli are excellent for simple use on a phone, tablet, or computers with touch screens. In addition they look classy, and yet are a good value.

Insignia - Mouse Pad - Marble
Ensure smooth gliding and less friction with this Insignia mouse pad. The marble decoration keeps it looking pretty, but it prevents your optical or laser mouse from getting clogged up with dust or dirt to ensure smooth operation. A low-friction surface on this Insignia mouse pad reduces tugging when you're using your mouse.
This movie is truly excellent. The actors are fantastic, and the scenery is incredible. A bonus is the digital copy!

This lamp is an excellent addition to my desktop computer station. The station is wide, with two monitors and a tower with external speakers. This lamp has a long bulb on a configurable arm that provides excellent lighting of my wide space. The white color of the emitted light allows accurate viewing of color on the desk - which is useful when comparing photos to what I see on my monitor screens. Also the light is not harsh, even on the highest setting. I recommend this lamp highly.

HP - Pavilion 2-in-1 14" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Space Blue
Entertainment isn~t just for the couch anymore. With it's 360 degree design and binge-grade performance, this HP Pavilion x360 Laptop is built to keep you entertained anywhere and any way you choose. Entertainment anywhere and any way.
This laptop is very well engineered for travel. It is compact, yet has a screen that is large enough to provide comfortable viewing. As a 2-in-1 laptop it serves very well as a means of entertainment (via "tent" mode) and as a means of presentation or for video meetings (via "presentation" mode). The construction is solid, and shows well thought out engineering. It also looks sharp!
The display is bright, colorful, sharp, and detailed. It works well for viewing films, text, videos, or zoom calls.
The keyboard is solid, with all the keys most travelers need. I have no need for a numeric keypad, and prefer its absence so as to have a full-sized keyboard.
This laptop is very well equipped with a full set of high speed ports. It also comes equipped with a full sized HDMI port and a 3.5mm headset jack. I have used one of the usb-c ports to drive and power a 15.6" display panel as well!
The speakers demonstrate the ingenuity of the HP engineers. You need to examine them closely to appreciate what the engineers have accomplished here. First, they understood that the purchasers of this 2-in-1 laptop would spend an appreciable amount of time watching movies and videos in "tent" mode. When set up in this geometry the speakers located below the keyboard will face forward and provide superior sound. In "presentation" mode, with the keyboard facing down against a table, the speakers face up and outwards and provide good sound. Finally in "normal" mode, with the keyboard facing up, the speakers are at an angle to the table and slightly above its surface. For a hard surface, this provides a way to get good sound. Of course, if this computer sits on a lap or on a blanket, the sound may be muffled.
For my purposes this laptop does an excellent job, and I recommend it highly.

This very handsome sleeve is an exceptional value at its clearance price! I am sure it will sell out soon - so grab one while you can!

How big is the power supply in this unit? Can I add a Nvidia 1050 GPU without upgrading the Factory power supply?
The unit has an internal 180 Watt power supply. I believe you would have to replace it with a higher power supply to run such a card. I did a little research on upgrading the power supply for this machine. It is not so easy. I would recommend sticking with the built in graphics. The machine was not designed for higher end gaming.
