betther than episodes 1 to 3

A fairly good job of telling a Star Wars story that is set at about the same time as Episode 4 (A New Hope), using 2016 CGI technology to fit with the 1977 original. The digital replacements for Peter Cushing and (young) Carrie Fisher were still in the "uncanny valley", but not bad. I was a little surprised that the story line was set up so that there should be no sequels.

Nice documentary, good UHD/HDR, but shortish
on January 16, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
The main limitation of this documentary is that it's about 45 minutes long. If you're a big Patrick Stewart fan, you may be disappointed that most of the narration is provided by others.

not bad for an nth generation sequel
on January 6, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Much better than the "Bourne Legacy" which didn't feel much like a Bourne movie at all. The evil plot that drove the story was a bit vague. Tommy Lee Jones does a good villain.

The action was a little over-the-top at times. One might say, cartoonish. The values expressed in the movie were the right ones: loyalty, compassion, affection.

seemed a little dark, compared to Finding Nemo
on December 16, 2016
Posted by: bobkn
Verified Purchase:Yes
Maybe I just don't find serious short-term memory loss to be at all funny. There was a scene near the end of the film where Dory seems alone, lost in a forbidding place. I wonder how kids made out with that.
Ed O'Neill (voice of Hank the octopus) pretty much steals the movie.

Good parody of a Merchant/Ivory film
on December 16, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Seems like a take-off of one of those art house movies from the 80s (like "A Room with a View"). Ralph Fiennes is a great comic actor, as well as a serious one.

Doesn't add much to the Ice Age series

The original voice actors are back. The plot may have jumped the shark. Still enjoyable, but avoid comparing it to the original "Ice Age".

Good for its price
on December 9, 2016
Posted by: bobkn
Verified Purchase:Yes
Used this to replace a pile of remotes, and to automate the switching between modes (TV, BluRay player, CD player, radio). It lacks support for the voice controls available with the TV (Samsung UN49KS8000) and cable box (Comcast Xfinity X1), but otherwise it does everything the original remotes did and more.

Gene Wilder was the greatest
on October 21, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Go this to upgrade a DVD that I've had for years. Very worthwhile. Much to be preferred over the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp version, largely thanks to Wilder.

Connect up to 10 Wi-Fi devices for simple Web access on the go with this Franklin Wireless R850 FRKR850ABB hotspot, which provides 4G LTE speeds. Use the OLED display to track data usage in real time.
I have AT&T, can it work with it? And can I get it without a Prepaid card?
It's locked to Boost/Sprint.
I suppose that if you were knowledgeable enough to hack it (SIM card?), you wouldn't be asking. I know nothing about that sort of thing, myself.
It is sold without a prepaid card. You have to sign up for some sort of Boost service to activate it. (One plan from Boost: $50 for 10GB or 1 month, whichever expires first. No rollover of any unused data left over at the end of the month.)
If you're an AT&T customer, do you have a 4g smart phone? Is it enabled to function as a WiFi hotspot? Data through a regular cell subscription ought to be less expensive than a prepaid service.

Just bought an iPhone 7 plus from best buy and I want to take it over to boost mobile. Can I do this or do I need to get it unlocked?
Why was this asked with respect to a Franklin R850?
You could use the WiFi connection of the iPhone through the R850, but doubt that it would make sense. The service is intended to provide internet service through the Sprint 4g phone network, and it's pretty expensive compared to wired internet. ($50 for 10gb, for one month.)

This RCA RCRPS02GR universal remote can control up to 2 devices simultaneously and features a backlit keypad for simple visibility in dimly lit conditions. Oversize keys enable easy identification.
Will this work for a sony tv?
I'm using it with a Toshiba TV and a Spectrum (Time Warner) cable box. I haven't used it with a Sony TV, but there are programming codes for Sony. (Plus a means of programming it without entering a code.) Sony TVs are much more popular than Toshiba; I doubt very much that there would be a problem.
