jenl74 says "As awesome as the first" about Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

jenl74 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:16:57 GMT

I had to see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans the day it came out in the theater. I hope they don't stop this wonderful saga. The story was great, it is a prequel to Underworld and Underworld Evolution. I kept reading reviews that people were so disappointed that Kate Beckinsale wasn't in this movie, and I admit that I was a little disappointed, but you can't have Selene in the prequel which tells the story of the beginning feud between lycans and vampires. After watching Rise of the Lycans, I was happy that Rhona Mitra played Sonya, she did an awesome job and it makes the story line fall in place with Selene. There is a lot of action, blood, and violence, but it goes along with the story. Michael Sheen who plays Lucian is such a great actor and he makes you believe that there really is true love. All I can say is that if you don't watch all three of these movies starting with Underworld of course, you are missing out.

jenl74 says "Loved It" about Underworld: Evolution

jenl74 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:07:59 GMT

After watching the first Underworld, I couldn't wait for Underworld Evolution to come out in the theatre, and I wasn't disappointed. As soon as this movie came out on Blu-ray I purchased it with the first Underworld. The picture is great in High Definition, the movie is awesome and continues the love story that was blossoming in the first movie between Selene and Michael. The story line was great alon with the acting. There wasn't much involvement of the lycans in this movie like the first, but it was action packed. I think all three Underworld movies are awesome.

jenl74 says "Good to have around" about Apple iPod touch Second Gen (8 GB, MB528LL/A) Digital Media Player

jenl74 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:02:22 GMT

I really like my Ipod touch 8 GB, it holds so many songs and you can use it for video. It has wireless internet that can be used anywhere you can access the internet wirelessly. Apple Itunes has applications that can be used with it. There are a bunch of free applications that are great and pay-for applications ranging from games, dictionaries, maps, to even the bible or constitution that can be read on your Ipod. There are a couple of downsides, the first being that it doesn't stay charged very long, and the more applications you have on it, the faster it loses its charge. The second is that, if you have a program that can convert your own movies to work with the Ipod, the Ipod touch doesn't have a way for you to download it like the regular Ipods do, so the only way you can have movies on your Ipod is to purchase them from Itunes. Other than that, I am glad I purchased it.

jenl74 says "Great Television" about Sony BRAVIA KDL-52W4100 52 in. HDTV LCD TV

jenl74 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 17:44:49 GMT

The Sony Bravia KDL-52W4100 52 inch LCD TV is a great buy. It has gone down in price from when we purchased it so it is an even better value now. My husband and I are die hard Sony fans and with this TV once again we are not disappointed. We have a Playstation 3 that we use to play Blu-ray discs that make the picture look real on this TV. It's easy to set up and use, you need HDMI cables with it which can be pretty pricey, but that is true with all HDTVs. The only bad thing about having an HDTV is that if you don't have Satellite in HDTV, the standard definition channels don't have a very good picture. I would recommend this TV to anyone.

jenl74 says "Love It" about Underworld

jenl74 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 17:33:22 GMT

I love the movie Underworld, the first time I watched it was on DVD and couldn't believe the movie wasn't more well known, it has a great story line, not your typical vampire / werewolf movie. The acting is great, I love it on Blu-ray because the picture is so much better and the unrated version has more scenes than the rated R version. It also throws in a love story and another blossoming love story. It does have a lot of action, blood and violence so you wouldn't want to let your kids watch it.

jenl74 says "Awesome" about Playstation 3 - 80GB

jenl74 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 17:24:58 GMT

I was fortunate enough to have purchased the 80 GB Playstation 3 from 2007 that plays Playstation 2 games. The graphics are awesome and the wireless internet is a huge bonus, of course you have to have access to wireless internet to use it. It's great that it plays Blu-ray and DVDs. The DVDs are upconverted and the picture is great on an HDTV, much better than a regular DVD player that doesn't upconvert. A video game system that plays games, Blu-ray movies, DVDs, and lets you surf the internet, what more could a person ask for.

jenl74 says "Perfect service for me" about Netflix

jenl74 — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 18:26:11 GMT

Whenever I used to rent a movie from blockbuster with the best intentions of watching it, something would come up or I would forget to take it back and end up racking up $$$ in late fees. With netflix, I spend less on as many movies as I want than I did renting one or two from Blockbuster after all the late fees. There's no forgetting to return them because all you have to do it go out to the mailbox. I usually get mine in a couple of days which is fine. I have such a busy on-the-go lifestyle that my family never knows when we will be able to watch a movie together. The price is right and I'm able to find many movies that I can't find anywhere else. I have been with Netflix since they first began and I have only seen improvement with their service in addition to lower prices while I've been a member. I tried the online Blockbuster service before they started their in-store exchange and I hated it, they were slow and most movies were badly damaged. I have only had maybe 5......

jenl74 says "Great site" about MyPoints

jenl74 — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 18:13:06 GMT

I have been a member of mypoints since Jan. 8, 2000. I love this website. It's easy to earn points and despite what people think, you don't have to spend money to earn the points. They have plenty of free point earning offers and almost every email you receive earns you points. If you're looking through email anyways, what does it hurt to click on a link in your email to get 5 points, then delete the email, you don't have to buy anything, you just don't earn points as fast. The online retailers that I shop at the most are offered through mypoints. I have also found some great ones that I didn't know about because of mypoints. The gift cards that you can get with your points are for popular retailers and when you redeem your points you receive your gift cards very quickly (in about 1 week) or faster. The only con is that I have had to make sure some points were credited through certain retailers, but that's only been a few times and with the same retailer....

jenl74 says "Great movie" about Pan's Labyrinth

jenl74 — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 17:55:49 GMT

When I first wanted to rent this movie, I thought it was a children's fairy tale. Good thing I paid attention to the rating. It's a fairy tale, but not for children. The movie was made in Spain so it has English subtitles, which doesn't bother me. I've found that some foreign films are better than American films. It begins by telling you about a princess who lived underground, but because of wanting to be above ground, she runs away. I don't want to ruin the movie so I will just tell you that the story progresses from there. It has violence and gore, so you don't want kids watching it. I love this movie and it's now one of my all-time favorites. I haven't talked to anyone who didn't like this movie.

jenl74 says "Great little player!" about SanDisk - Sansa e260 MP3 Player

jenl74 — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 17:05:38 GMT

I bought this for my husband and he loves it. I use it myself occasionally. It's easy to use and the sound is great. The earbuds that it comes with aren't all that great, but I haven't ever bought an mp3 player that had great earbuds with it. I found some good ones for a great price and now the Sansa sounds even better. One day I went to the sink in the kitchen and found that the Sansa that had been left on the bar above the sink had fallen into a bowel full of water and had probably been there all night. Of course it didn't work. The battery was ruined. I took the back off and the battery out and let it dry out, then plugged it into the computer without the battery, it worked! Of course I had to order a new battery online to be able to use it away from the computer. Every now and then it won't turn off when you push the button, so you have to leave it on and it turns off by itself, but other than that it works great, surprisingly. We love that it has an FM tuner......

jenl74 says "Best printer ever!" about Hewlett Packard Photosmart C5280 Printer

jenl74 — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 16:48:45 GMT

I love this printer. I bought it 3 months ago because mine broke and I had to have one that same day so it was sort of an impulse purchase. I found it online at a retail store for a great price, purchased it and went and picked it up. I was so happy when I got home to find that it had even more features than I thought. You don't have to have your computer on to use it because it has it's own screen and all controls on the printer itself. It has memory card slots right on the printer for all memory card types so you just stick your memory card in the printer and the photos come up on the printer's screen. It's controls are easy to understand and use. It has a holder in the tray for photo paper. The photos that it prints look great. You can use it to print on printable CDs and DVDs or labels. You can make the labels or import pictures and such from your hard drive to put on them. When you click on the computer icon in your system tray for the printer, the printer computer......

jenl74 says "I love it!" about Creative - Zen Vision M - 30G MP3 Player

jenl74 — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 16:17:13 GMT

Pros: I don't have any regrets about buying this product. I got it on sale for a great deal and it was worth every penny. It has an FM tuner with preset stations you can program. There is also a microphone on it. I use it to record my professor's lectures in my classes, it works better than my digital voice recorder. I have movies, photos, audio books, and thousands of songs on my ZEN M. I'm happy with the sound quality and picture quality. Cons: it's heavier than it's ipod equivalent. The touchpad and keys take some getting used to. The screen would be better if you were able to adjust the brightness for movies. The program for the zen to convert movies doesn't work very well. Not very much offered on the Creative labs website for support or music/video options. Other than that, I'm perfectly happy with it. ...
