Rating:  - * Excellent Projector ... I was asked to buy a new projector to use in a classroom setting. We had been using an earlier model of the Epson (sorry, I can't recall the name or number of the model), and we were pleased with the picture and its reliability. After reading the reviews on Amazon, I decided to purchase this model. The classroom receives partial daylight through the windows, so we felt it was important to have a projector that delivered a sharp, crisp image. We are very pleased with the picture, which is superior to that of the older model of the Epson. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a low cost projector to use in a classroom setting. Rating:  - * Good Investment ... Good picture quality even in high light areas, quick start-up and I love the quick shut down option The replacement bulbs are also reasonably priced. Good device for the money, a little more bulky than some but I'll take it to get the extra lumens. Rating: - * Solid performer. ... This is an excellent medium priced projector that provides a very bright image, visible in rooms that cannot be darkened totally. The colors on the screen compare favorably with what I see on my Apple laptop, a number of other projectors I tried failed this important requirement. The unit is lightweight and compact, it travels well. My only concern is the high temperature, it is important not to block any of the ventilation vents The projector displays a warning message if overheating. So far I am very pleased with my choice. Rating: - * Great machine for the money! ... While this is not the most expensive video projector on the market - it is more than adequate to meet the needs of most small businesses. It is not the smallest or lightest - but the price... you cannot fault it. Easy use of controls on the machine - the remote is a bit oversized with small buttons - but that works for us - as we have lost several remotes in the past that were postage stamp size because different people use them. The cost of the replacement bulb at under $200 is a big plus - my advice is to buy a spare and keep in stock. Colors are great and it is bright enough for room lit showing of presentations. Excellent buy for the money. Rating: - * Digital Projector for my Photo Classes ... After reading a variety of reviews, including those on Amazon, I bought this to show my Beginning Digital Photo classes how to work with digital images in PhotoShop and PhotoShop Elements. Setup was a matter of hooking up the cables and turning on my laptop. The projection is plenty bright for computer screen reading, even in a moderately bright room. For photo editing, no surprise, the room needs to be pretty dark. ( I can't imagine any projector being so bright that photos would be really good in a light room! ) I'm projecting an 8 foot width, which works fine for my class size. All icons and text are plenty legible. The class, ranging from young to retired, are all very impressed with the image quality (and my photos ([...] ), of course!). We've also watched a couple DVD's with it at home, which worked very well. My son had to try some games, so he hooked up his Xbox, and spent a couple hours playing his favorites on a 12 foot wall. This also worked very well, he wasn't altogether pleased when I took it back. I also recommended this model to our local library, for use in one of the community meeting rooms. I can't imagine a nicer projector for the money. |
In the previous The Curse of the Black Pearl, Sparrow was killed--sent to Davy Jones' Locker. In the opening scenes, the viewer sees that death has not been kind to Sparrow--but that's not to say he hasn't found endless ways to amuse himself, cavorting with dozens of hallucinated versions of himself on the deck of the Black Pearl. But Sparrow is needed in this world, so a daring rescue brings him back. Keith Richards' much ballyhooed appearance as Jack's dad is little more than a cameo, though he does play a wistful guitar. But the action, as always, is more than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" As far as fans are concerned, it matters not. --A.T. Hurley
On the DVD
Here's something you can't say about just any DVD extras: There appears to be more of Keith Richards in the outtakes, interviews, and other special features on the At World's End disc than in the actual film. For those scenes alone, this special edition is well worth the price. Richards looks as woozy and gamey as all the rumors suggested, and answers questions he's not asked, with Johnny Depp sitting next to him, almost acting as a translator. Richards offers pithy comments like, "Everything I do is original, you better believe," and smiles when other cast members call him "Two-Take Richards" for supposedly nailing his scenes.
The packed second disc also includes a terrific mini-doc on how the filmmakers created the famous maelstrom, in an enormous hanger in Palmdale, California, with the ships floating 30 feet off the ground. "Just moving the Black Pearl was an enormous undertaking," says producer Jerry Bruckheimer with serious understatement. Other cool extras include "Tale of the Many Jacks," deleted scenes with great commentary, "The World of Chow Yun-Fat," a bio of composer Hans Zimmer, features on the set designers, a look at the impressive Brethren Court, and some hilarious bloopers. "You can't curse in a Disney film," deadpans Depp when a costar blurts out something blue. "See? I told him." The extras are truly as much of a rollicking adventure as the film. --A.T. Hurley
