Immerse yourself in the world of Titanfall 2 from Respawn Entertainment, which features improved graphics for a more realistic gaming experience. In addition to the multiplayer platform of its award-winning predecessor, this highly anticipated sequel also includes a conventional single-player campaign. This version of Titanfall 2 is made to work on Windows computers.

4 stars because there is no 4 1/2 rating

Many have by now played T1 so you are familiar with the multiplayer action. Let's just say (my opinion) that it has been improved a lot (number of different mechs, person vs mech action, etc). Now, the best part is that you can play a single player campaign for the first time. The campaign does not disappoint (I hope that it is continued in future iterations) although it may feel short for some. There's a nice story leading from one sequence to another thru different scenarios that somehow make me reminisce of old Mechwarrior3 and Half-Life. Worth the low price.

Perhaps 4 1/2*

By now, it will be quite rare to find someone who hasn't seen Bond films. I found this old Roger Moore film to be one of the best. No multibillionaires looking for world domination using some exotic/esoteric weaponry. This film takes a more realistic approach of a solid 2-feet-on-the ground spy action/thriller. Great scenery/cinematography, great believable action and plot, good acting and the price was low, very low for a blu-ray

Why a 5 *

Who has not seen these movies? Some may argue that not all the movies in the trilogy rate 5* but the fact that you are getting all 3 Blu-ray for $9.99 seals the rating. And, anyway, the movies are so good, the idea behind them was so revolutionary (at least in video), the effects were great and there was good acting (yeah, there was)

Make it 4 1/2 stars!

A great movie to watch but if you think its subject matter (thou shall not kill) makes it a perhaps family movie to watch be prepared for (my wife's opinion) the most violent scenes ever. For some reason, Mel Gibson's directed movies bring up Sam Peckinpah to mind. All-in-all, great acting, editing, effects and plot (wow, basically a true story--really!) and a good purchase moneywise.

The original and still the best.

No matter how good this character/story has been portrayed via film or serials--or copy cats--this Luc Besson thriller has the luck of having Anne Parilloud as Nikita in a tour-de-force performance. It also served to really launch Jean Rino and Tcheky Karyo into the US/world market. Great action, acting, editing, plot. I wonder how it would have turned had it been made in today's advanced world of CGI. Lastly, tt was a steal at the reduced price.

Long awaited (different) superhero film!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This film revived my faith in superhero films. An unusual witty film with great action, plot and editing. Wait, how about acting? Surprisingly good. It was a joy to see how Ryan Reynolds brings this character to the screen--and you also get to see Morena Baccarin and Gina Carano.
Best of all, got a great deal because of BB's price match policy.

Yes, 3 stars but still a fan of Jack Reacher

Verified Purchase:Yes
Less satisfying than the previous one--which I believed to be a better piece of filmmaking while somewhat preserving the book character. Still, once you accept that author Lee Child has basically "sold out" any control over the movies to moviemakers, I will wait gladly for the next one rather than having no Reacher movies. If you like action, the second movie has lots. Acting is as good as can be expected--really, the actors are trying their best. The parenthood-with-teenager-problem aspect was enjoyable.

Kids will enjoy (and some adults will, too!)

What more can you ask for basically a couple of dollars? You get 8 movies, whole family fun movies (well, some more than others) and with animals! Kids will love these and old timers will reminisce while watching (do you recall Flipper?). Just having Evan Almighty (perhaps more of a grown up film) is worth it.

Best 4K for the price but a couple of problems
on January 8, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This review is for the SAMSUNG 40" 6290 TV bought at a price discounted lower than BB's lowest thanks to BB's price match. Great unit to use as a monitor for games. However, I ended using it as a TV. Its remote is small but does everything the large remote does (actually, to my surprise, my large remote worked on this set). the smallness comes mainly from losing the individual numbers. It does look on the cheap side and it was somewhat difficult to open to install the batteries. Set up was easy although the printed manual and the emanual could stand improvement. I had an old DVD player without HDMI that I wished to connect via component cables and the manual was not clear to say the least (may I add that I presented the matter to someone of the Geek Squad who had no solution but to refer me to a phone number where a recording asked me to bring the set to where I was given the phone number). Anyway, this was solved by connecting the non Y cables from my DVD to the adapter cable included with the set (the 2 to 1 adapter) according to the color; and the Y cable from my DVD to the adapter cable also included with the set (the 3 to 1 adapter) to the yellow cable. However, biggest problem involved the HDMI connection to the cable box. Everything worked fine, got the channels with picture and sound but once the set and cable box were turned off and you turned both back on again, the picture was there but the sound was lost. Not only the TV built-in sound test indicated that sound was good, but also got sound from streaming (NETFLIX, etc) from the blu-rey (XBOX 1) and from my old DVD. Tried leaving the cable box on, same. Changed the HDMI cable, same problem. Changed the cable box (BH now Spectrum) for new one and same problem. BB people didn't know why this happened and I ended up calling SAMSUNG (great service on their part) where after trying several things, was told to turn of the Anynet-something at the set's System menu. This seemed to work (for the few minutes the set was off) but the real trial would be after the set and box are off for a couple of hours (SAMSUNG rep gave me a number in case I needed to call again). To make long story short, same thing happened. However, I tried using another HDMI port and not the one labeled for cable box (HDMI 1). Surprise, it worked! Problem was only with that port but, strangely enough, that port worked fine with any other device. Only thing I had to do was re-label the port using the remote (yes, there's an option to edit the names of the devices connected to the different ports of the set). True, there may still be something wrong with the set but this TV had been sold out for a while so I was not going to get a replacement and I did not want to take it and leave it at BB--specially when everything "seems" to be working great. Should I have taken a star off? Not after seeing how well it is now working.

Just perfect . . . for my sister's phone

Verified Purchase:Yes
My sister's phone was running out of the built-in memory (8GB). The phone was a Samsung dual sim card phone with a typical addtl slot for extra memory. We purchased this card which quadrupled the original memory to transfer all her apps, pictures, videos, documents, etc. It worked perfectly (well, really, it did what this type of card is supposed to do but what made it perfect was the discounted price at the time!) and she now has space for the next couple (hopefully) of years..

HP Envy 4500 e-All-in-One Printer: With built-in Wi-Fi, this e-all-in-one printer provides a wireless connection to your network, so you can print, copy and scan with ease. HP ePrint and Apple® AirPrint let you print from your enabled mobile device.
 

How can I keep the Envy 4500 printer from "going to sleep"

My 4500 goes off almost as soon as I print something and before I can get the next things ready to print. Is there a setting to control this?
RE: HP Envy 4500: There is a "sleep" setting under "preferences" in the main menu. Goes from 5 minutes up.
