This performance video featuring comedian Dave Chappelle gets a bare-bones presentation on DVD. Dave Chappelle: Killing Them Softly has been given a full-frame transfer to disc, while the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. No bonus material or alternate language options have been included.

It's Dave Chappelle what more do you gotta say

I have this stand up and his Live at the Fillimore stand up and I believe (though this one is older) that this one is much funnier. I wish I saw more of his commedy like I used to when the Chappelle's show was around a.k.a the best show there ever was.
What's great about it: I believe this is his best stand up I've seen to date
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

This movie defines terrifying.
on August 19, 2008
Posted by: Barback
This movie is by far the scarriest movie I have ever seen and I've seen the jasons, freddys, the rings (and all the other new japanese horror films), but if you are Christian or believe in this kind of stuff you are going to be a little uncomfortable sleeping. Watch out for the stairs scene.
What's great about it: If you are looking for the greatest thriller of all time, you found it.
What's not so great: not the best movie to watch by yourself lol
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terror abounds in the made-for-TV miniseries event Stephen King's It. The film is presented in a newly matted 1.85:1 widescreen edition that is modified from its original form (in other words, black bars have been inserted onto the top and bottom of the original full frame transfer). The image appears to be in better-than-average shape with colors and black levels all solid and well defined. While there appears to be some softness in the picture, overall this transfer should please horror fans everywhere. The soundtrack is presented in an apt Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo mix in English. Since Stephen King's It was originally produced for TV, it's no surprise to find this audio track flat and somewhat boring. However, what this mix lacks in directional effects and fidelity it makes up for with crystal clear dialogue, music and effects. Also included on this disc are English, French and Spanish subtitles. The sole extra feature on this DVD is a commentary track by director Tommy Lee Wallace and actors John Ritter, Richard Thomas, Tim Ried and Dennis Christopher. Filled with some funny asides about the production and witty banter (especially from Ritter), this commentary track is worth the listen for any true Stephen King fans.

Best horror clown movie
on August 19, 2008
Posted by: Barback
They don't make horror movies like they used to. This is a great horror movie, even though it falls into the jason/ freddy krueger era of horror films, that can still make you jump.
What's great about it: If you know someone who is afraid of clowns this is the movie for them.
What's not so great: It is a little outdated.
I would recommend this to a friend!

how do wireless speakers work ? How expensive are they

I thought the "rock" speakers advertised on tv were wireless.
No the rock speakers are not wireless unfortunately. There are two different kind of "wireless speakers." The first kind is not really wireless, but helps get rid of some of the wires and how it does this is there is a wireless transmitter and receiver offered by Rocketfish (Brand name) for either $100 or $105. You will need a receiver (yamaha, onkyo, denon, pioneer, etc.) where you will hook up a transmitter to two speaker terminals and that will send a signal to the Rocketfish receiver which will have two speaker wires going to those two speakers and the receiver portion will power those. Now there are some wireless speakers also offered through rocketfish, but there is a catch to these. You have to use a ton of batteries and it will only work for (if I remember right) 10 hours, but you get rid of the cords and if you have rechargeable batteries maybe this will be the right way to go for you. My personal opinion about wireless speakers is that it is more hassle than what its worth since there are very few options to the quality of speakers you can get and they often cut out due to phone calls, taxi/cop radios, and other frequencies can interfere with that signal. If you really want speakers in your backyard (I'm assuming since you were looking at either the insignia rock speakers or the speakercraft rock speakers that you don't plan on putting them in your living room...unless you like the primitive look jk) then you should run speaker wire to them just for ease and quality purposes. If you don't feel comfortable doing that I'm sure there is a Geek Squad Service that would do that for you.

Small speakers

I have an Insignia 19" TV/DVD combo that I would like to add speakers to, in order to enhance the sound. Don't want anything that dwarfs the tv, just something in a small size that would compliment the tv.
Buy computer speakers that have just your regular red and white audio cables. Bose has a pair for 99.99 that work very well, but it is entirely up to you.

Multi-zone DVD player hard to find

Many DVD devices are billed as being able to play disks from zones other than the US (1), but I have returned many machines shotrly after purchase. Staffers have so far not been able to identify the solution. Is it possible to try some of these DVD's in the store first? Cost has not been an issue, as most of the players are reasonable.
Best Buy doesn't have any international dvd players (meaning it can only play dvds from the U.S.) You will have to get one online somewhere else.

speakers that plug into wall

I have no available USB port to connect both cables to computer, I need the old kind with one cable that plugs into wall outlet. Do you carry these?
This is a very vague question, with no idea of what you are connecting and the fact that there are hundreds of cables it is hard to answer the question. What it sounds like is that you need an extra usb port where I would be shocked if Bestbuy didn't have some kind of adapter that would allow you to switch between usb connections.

Where can i get American Acoustics sub speaker for floor speakers

I've never heard of the brand American Acoustics, so I'm going to assume you mean an American company that produces subwoofers. There is only one that comes to mind and that is Martin Logan. They have two models the Dynamo and the Abyss. The Dynamo has more than enough kick for most home theaters, but if you want absolute raw power than I suggest you go with the Abyss.

blue tooth outputs

i was wondering if it was possible to be able to hook a bluetooth speaker up to multiple speakers????
I don't know if you mean wireless speakers, but you can buy wireless transmitters. Each transmitter is good for 2 speakers. They are made by rocketfish, which is a pretty reliable brand.

Sound Vibrations from TV

I purchased a 60" Samsung when the sound is turned up there is a vibration. I do not have external speakers and was wondering if that might solve the problem. Geek Squad set up the set and I have not changed the settings.
To be completely honest, the sound quality of speakers on tv's are as terrible as they come. You are probably looking at 40 watts of speaker power at tops. External speakers would be one way to go. You would just have to purchase some computer speakers and have it plugged into the audio output on the tv. I highly suggest you just save your money or apply for a Best Buy credit card and just buy a receiver and two additional speakers (you can always add on to your receiver to give you a surround sound instead of a stereo set up, which is two front speakers).
