Classic Star Trek into many camera tricks
on January 3, 2017
Posted by: ClassicsFan
from Prattville, AL
Verified Purchase:Yes
The story was great but my problem with the movie is the fact that they feel the need to add so many bells and whistles. They tend to take away from the story which really is a good one. I don't really mind the tricks but either I am getting old or they do way too much on all the special effects. I tend to get so involved in the stuff that I miss the story of what this movie is trying to convey. I'm from the TOS era and was amazed back then with the technology, that was so realistic, we are using some of it today. What they are showing in moves today, I can't even imagine us going into their technology, ever. Maybe that's what the older population thought back then, so what do I know? Anyway, Star Trek Beyond is a great story gone too much stuff for my taste. By the way, I am over 50. I may be that older population, today.
P.S. I know computer generated visuals are the terminology in what we called it back then camera tricks but I do age myself.

A great buy for a potential problem
on September 3, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
My computer's video suddenly made noise and shut down. I tried to get Dell to resolve my problem but all they wanted to do is run the computer and see what was wrong. The problem was the computer would shut down within 10 minutes after booting up and they were unable to get into my computer. They didn't want to do anything until they could run their own diagnostic. I became frustrated with them that I told them I had to go after about 2 hours of this. I went to Best Buy with the card and told them I had this for about 7 years. The reassured me that this was normal and I needed a new one. I purchased one with the assistance of the Geek Squad and put in this device and it has worked well. I was able to get one that was compatible to my older device and save money on it without having to buy the more expensive ones out there.

Good show, Story inaccurate
on August 27, 2016
Posted by: ClassicsFan
from Prattville, AL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really enjoyed the show and found the characters believable. The problem with this series was that it was not a part of the history it depicted. I can go into details about all the inaccuracies but it would be too many to mention and I am sure I'd miss a few, but what I can say is this show was entertaining for sure and it would have made history more fun if it was completely true. This was not a pretty war and many perished in this. There was blood spilled from both sides and though we did win our independence from Britain, it would be a long time before we have our constitution written and the states ratified into the greatness we would become. So the bottom line in this review if you watch this keep in mind that this is not how the United States started out and the characters were not what they really were in real life. Not really suitable for children. Some suggested adult themes throughout the episodes. I don't think it will return. There is so much more in this story that has yet to be told, but I believe that there were so many inaccuracies to the truth that it would be decided not to continue this series. Had I known this before I would have not purchased this. But did enjoy it enough to give it 3 stars; if it was true would have been given 5 stars. TURN is better.

Tedious at places but good movie

This is based on a true story and it was really great. There were times it was tedious and you just wanted to movie to go on without all that snow. It is a good story and movie, just over look the slow parts.

Kept you at the edge of your seat as usual, but what would you expect from a great film maker like Steven Spielberg.

Convert your car's tape player into a wireless receiver with this ION Audio cassette adapter Bluetooth. It streams music from music players or phones so you don't have to buy a different stereo head unit. This ION Audio cassette adapter Bluetooth features a built-in microphone that allows for hands-free calls, and the rechargeable battery lasts up to six hours for extended road trips.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Ion Audio - Cassette Bluetooth Adapter is something I've always wanted. I hardly use the cassette player in my car, so I'm glad that I'm able to use this product with my player. My cell phone gets unlimited use of the music programs and I wanted to expand it to my music system in my car. I get countless hours of iHeart radio, Pandora as well as my own playlist while driving down the highway. It sounds great! I have read from other reviewers of the problems they were having, but I wanted to take a chance. I purchased this back in July, 2015 for $20 and began using it. It has been 2 months and haven't had any problems. It's been a godsend. It is everything I want until I get a car with built-in bluetooth feature in the stereo system. The only complaint and it's a little one, is the flashing blue light that catches my eye every once in a while (big deal). A great find for sure.

A stellar performance from Witherspoon
on September 9, 2015
Posted by: ClassicsFan
from Prattville, AL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Though I enjoyed the performance from Reese Witherspoon, the movie as a whole drags a lot. It was a good movie and it is a bio picture, so I do account for that. You want to see where it goes throughout the movie so when it ends it is bittersweet but you just wanted a little more. I would recommend this to others but it is not for the young, and it is not a typical action adventure, though it is full of adventure. I may watch it again but it will be a while before I do. The extras were interesting and probably be seen first to get the scope of this movie. I saw the movie first.

I really looked forward to Phillip Phillips second album and a little disappointed. It is good and I like what he sings, but it seems to lack in more defining moments. It's more like his first album. He seemed to play it safe and do the same type music. He needs to expand in his artist development and take some risks in his music. If he continues to do the same in his third album, he may find himself start to lose his fan base. He is a talent; just needs to expand in his artistry.

What's great about it: Great to see Phillip Phillips with new music.
What's not so great: Needs more meat in the music

Great History, short on story.

Posted by: ClassicsFan
from Prattville, AL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking forward to this movie and waited until it came out on video. I really loved the history of the movie and what it was telling in the story. I was disappointed in the fact that it was not put together very well in the storyline. I did like this movie overall, but it was not one that I felt the story was told very well. The cast was setup great but lack in character development. Wish they were able to put it together better.
