An excellent light hearted musical based upon the Faustian premise of selling one's soul to the Devil. Look, they don't make 'em like this anymore because Hollywood has sold it's collective soul so take the time to buy this and enjoy it as often as you wish.
The print isn't the best but the songs, dancing and acting along with a baseball stage is what brings the smiles and the memories flowing back to a time when sports meant something because the players weren't prima donnas (apologies to Dion!).
Highly recommended because it is worthy it!

I got this for me to replace a Fire Tablet 10. I like it a LOT so far. Download speed per Speednet on my giga network (wireless) is 200 or so mbps.
It has my Amazon UHD Music on it. It has my SiriusXM on it. It has my Pandora One on it. It has a 256 gig microSD in it now and so it hase 16,000+ songs of my own on it. I can easily view a movie on it without any buffering problems and the picture is quite good? Sound? I use quality headphones and it outputs the music and movie soundtracks with superlative accoustified greatness.
LOL!
It smurfs the web just fine and travels anywhere I may wish to take it with ease.
I refuse to buy junque and that is why I bought this Samsung tablet: It is EXCELLENTE'!!!!

Years after it's release it is still a wonderfully funny flick! What more can you ask of a movie than to remain enjoyable through the years?
I have the Laser Disc but decided to buy the Blu Ray in the event my third (and last) Laser Disc Player goes the way of the Dodo. This is an excellent comedy and one that I have enjoyed over the years and firmly believe I shall continue to do so.
Oh, I know...I know. Some people just want to "stream" their movies. Well, when your Wifi goes buy buy (for whatever reason) I can still be enjoying my films on disc. Laser Disc. DVD. 4K UHD Blu Ray and Blu Ray.
So yup. I highly recommend this film and the price is right too.

I usually purchase Geek Squad coverage for myself and loved ones. Why? Because I, the purchaser of both the product and coverage, get peace of mind for very little outlay.
I had to use my coverage a few times and each of those times I received a new vacuum, cell phones, keyboard and all-in-one remote control because each of those items had failed.
Of course I immediately bought a warranty on the new items and once again I had (and gave) peace of mind.

I bought this for my daughter and her husband to use in their new home. I too have a Dyson vacuum and so I highly recommend this you those of you out there that may (and really SHOULD) be reading this excellent, albeit brief, review.
This thing flat sucks up dirt and pet hair. Mine does and my daughter says their Dyson does too! It's a vacuum and it vacuums like not other vacuum unless you're talking 'bout a Dyson vacuum!
Buy one! It really is THAT good at doing what a vacuum should do, i.e., VACUUM!
Trust me. My daugher, like her most excellent father (i.e., me) knows what she's doin' when she's reviewin'.
Highly recommendamundo!

It is a very funny film, one that I am sure I will enjoy several times a year. Highly recommended as my brother would not have me watch junque.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

This Zound Industries smart speaker has two 15W amplifiers for powerful, clear sound and a far-field microphone array to recognize commands from across the room.
Is the Alexa in the device or do you need an Alexa device to go with it?
I just asked "Alexa" via this Marshall speaker to play Harry Belafonte's "Dance Senora" and it did so! So I think all you need do is ask and so long as it is available, it shall be played. At least that's my experience so far. ;-)

Apparently Roku ain't talkin'. I gave the device a single star and would give it zero if I could.

I got it yesterday for $30 off but I don't care. It is not going in my home. Hey Roku....You can keep it. Pfffffffffftttt!
