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]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/da4d0076-b870-4ea7-a663-1b986dac0e29.jpg)
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

does the motherboard come with an extra cable it I want to install another SATA compatible Drive or does it have to be purchased separately?
I opened up my computer to look at the cable situation, because I want to add an additional hard drive to the system. I found that the power cable to the DVD drive has a connector on it that will allow you to supply power to such a drive. I also saw that there is an open socket for one data sata cable to connect to this drive, but there is no cable provided to do this. You will have to buy the cable yourself (less than $10). Finally there is a single open bay available, and it will hold a 3.5" drive, and it is just below the dvd drive. So adding one additional SATA drive appears doable, and relatively straight forward.

Why is there no slot for a GPU? In the specifications for this product, in the expansion section, it states there is 1 PCI-E X1 slot, and a PCI-E x16 slot. What is in these slots, if I can't put a GPU in there? Is the description wrong?
I opened up my Lenovo, and see that both of these slots are open and available. However, be aware that the power supply for this machine is modest, and supplies a maximum of only 180 Watts. You need to carefully tally up the power already being used, and see if there is enough for the video card of your choice. Even a low end video card is going to use over 30 W. I think you are best advised to stick with the built in graphics.
