Rating:  - * Great Value and Performance! ... Great value and performance for the dollar. I am in Iraq and initally wanted a scanner for my Army documents. A battle buddy suggested this item. I looked it up online at Amazon and felt it met my needs and then some. And, for the price I felt I could take a flyer. I give it a definite 5. Loading the software was easy. The scanning is easy. The copying and printing is great. My copies are clear, neat, quality printing, good color and photo printing on 20 paper is really very good. I have printed some pictures and sent some to those who do not yet have computer savvy. This is an excellent affordable Printer/Scanner/Copier for any environment. And, No, I did not get paid for this write-up. :-) Rating:  - * Terrible Product ... Not only does this printer use an enormous amount of ink, but it's virtually impossible to print anything without babysitting the machine. Mine always takes more than one sheet of paper (no matter how much or how little paper is in the tray), which, of course, leads to a paper jam. So, I have to hold down the rest of the sheets as I'm printing to make sure that it doesn't grab more than it should. I've used the scanner several times, only to find that the results are well below average. The quality of the scanned photo is not useable, even at the highest resolution. I had previously thought that HP made quality products, but I'm being to have my doubts. I would never buy this printer again, especially not for the $70 pricetag. In my opinion, this printer is worth $30 at best. Rating:  - * bad for envelopes ... I use this product at work and it does a great job on everything except envelopes. They jam more often than they feed through. It's very frustrating. Trying to clear the system after the jam is even worse. If you need a printer for correspondence that includes printing the envelopes, I do not recommend this machine. Rating: - * NO USB CABLE INCLUDED ... I haven't even set this printer up, but I am already furious. I opened up the box and couldn't find a USB cable. Then I looked at the instructions and in step 3 of the setup guide it says "Verify the box contents. The contents of your box may differ. *Purchase a USB cable separately if it is not included" There is no way from telling by the box whether or not the USB cable is included. I don't mind paying extra for a USB cable so my printer will work out of the box. I also wouldn't mind if it was clear that there was no USB cable and I could have ordered one along with my printer, so that when my delivery came I could set it up without taking a trip to the electronics store. It isn't like most people have those stupid square to rectangular USB cables lying around. I shouldn't have to wait until I open up a product to determine whether or not I have to make another trip to the store. This is pathetic cost-cutting on the part of HP, and I will not be buying another one of their products. Rating: - * Its a good printer ... its a great printer but i had to update my laptop for it so that was a downer |
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
