A very good adventure film - but dark and gritty. Excellent acting and cinematography. I took off a star because the digital code did not work for me.

Murder on the Orient Express - BLU-RAY
The Agatha Christie favorite is brought to life in this stylish adaptation by director and star Kenneth Branagh. While the Orient Express is temporarily delayed by an avalanche, Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot (Branagh) must sift through a long list of suspects as he tries to determine who among the passengers traveling on board the train is behind the murder of businessman Simon Ratchett (Johnny Depp). Top-notch cast also includes Pen~lope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley. 114 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 7.1 Master Audio, DVS 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), Spanish, French; featurettes; deleted scenes; audio commentary; more. Two-disc set.
This is an excellent movie. The presentation of Hercule Poirot is quite different from other Agatha Christie films. I think it is actually the best I have seen. I deducted one star because there was no digital code in the case - in fact, upon reading the back of the case, I found that it stated any digital code may not even be valid after 2020.
We all need extra outlet space for new devices and plugs. The Insignia 2-Outlet Plug Liberator helps you achieve just that. A short 6" cord lets you separate large plug while keeping the original plug intact. Two AC outlets allow you to power multiple devices at the same time. A white color camouflages the plug liberator allowing it to match with most modern cords. Use this to organize computer equipment, home theater systems and much more. Free up plugins today and forget about needing to find extra outlets.
This is a solidly built and excellent extension of outlets. It is excellent value and excellent quality. It is an excellent way to deal with troublesome wall warts.
This is an excellent remastering on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl. Maria Callas was one of the most famous opera singers of the 20th century, and some of her best pieces are on this album. This album is well worth adding to your collection of opera recordings. I have attached a picture of the back of the album cover that lists the selections on this album.

I have a high end Sony smart tv, but have long been unhappy with its ability to stream over my Wi-Fi. This Roku Streaming Stick 4k (2021) has eliminated that problem! It has a superior antenna for Wi-Fi reception and transmission, and a much better processor for Wi-Fi that allows me now to stream with no drops and no buffering.
Also, I am very impressed with the simplicity of the menu system of the Roku, and the fact that they are not cluttered with distracting ads.

When removing the bottom plate from the laptop I have seen some videos that say that the laptop power is turned off automatically. Is this true? Also, is the battery disconnected from the motherboard when this is done?

Connect this Lenovo IdeaCentre computer wirelessly to other devices using the built-in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
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.
