Wonder Woman *Review*

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.




Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior.  Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.




Own Wonder Woman on Ultra HD Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on September 19 or Own It Now on Digital HD!

MY THOUGHTS

When I heard that there was going to be a Wonder Woman movie I was excited but also worried that it wouldn't be done right.  I have been enjoying DC movies lately but I have had a few issues with the last few so I was worried.

I am happy to say that I very much enjoyed Wonder Woman and I had no issues at all with the story line or any of the characters. Heck I liked it so much that I have seen this movie 3 times.  

I can't wait until the next film that will feature Wonder Woman.  

I am giving Wonder Woman 5 out of 5.

Supernatural Season 12 on DVD And Blu-ray *Review*

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.

Last season, Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) faced their greatest challenge yet: the all-powerful Darkness, better known as the sister of God. Freed from her prison by Dean, she threatened all of creation, until God (with the help of Sam, Dean, Castiel and Crowley), made amends with her. Before they left Earth, however, they restored Sam & Dean’s mother, Mary Winchester, to life.
In Season 12, the Winchesters must not only contend with an escaped Lucifer and the British Men of Letters (who’ve come to end their hunting days), but they’ll also have to relearn what it is to be a family again after all these years.


MY THOUGHTS

I have been a fan of Supernatural since the very beginning. I don't get to watch this show on television because I am old and am usually in bed by the time the show airs on tv so I wait until it is on DVD to watch it.

I very much enjoyed season 12. I think it is one of the best seasons so far. It has been action packed and so very entertaining. I love the jokes and the music and the season finale... Well, it was a bit disappointing. Not the best they have had but I still can't wait for the next season.


Overall I give season 12,  4 out of 5.

Silicon Valley®: The Complete Fourth Season *Review*


The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.


Change is in the air in Season 4 of Silicon Valley as the Pied Piper guys pursue their video-chat app, PiperChat, but Richard (Thomas Middleditch) has a hard time letting go of his dream to put his algorithm to better use. As Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani) flirts with notoriety while Gilfoyle (Martin Starr) looks on in amusement, Erlich (T.J. Miller) searches for his next big break, Jared (Zach Woods) attempts to pivot with the company, and Big Head (Josh Brener) enters the world of academia. Over at Hooli, Gavin (Matt Ross) finds himself threatened by Jack Barker (Stephen Tobolowsky), while Monica (Amanda Crew) struggles to bounce back at Raviga after her fallout with Laurie (Suzanne Cryer). Sharp, irreverent and hilarious, Silicon Valley continues to lambast the self-important world of tech in a season that finds the Pied Piper guys looking to leave their mark, even as they continue to fumble along the road to success.

You can now purchase this online or in stores near you.

MY THOUGHTS

I do watch some comedy shows but very few.
 Silicon Valley sounded interesting so I decided to give it a shot.

Now I admit I have not watched the previous seasons so I can't say how good the previous seasons were but I have to say that this show is just OK. I did find it funny at parts but this show just isn't for me.

I know it is a show that many of you might like but for me, it just isn't something I would ever watch again.


I give this 3 out of 5

Planning On A Home Remodel?

When is the moment when a homeowner knows they have to plan a remodel? It could be when another child is born and the need for a new bathroom becomes crystal clear. It could be when a student moves back home, and it’s obvious a new bathroom and a kitchen makeover would be helpful. It might just be the day that the bedroom color scheme looks tired. No matter what it is, when a home needs a remodel, it’s important to know that there are ways to plan for one successfully.

Getting a Loan


Many homeowners pay for a remodel by borrowing out of the equity in their home. There are many low interest loans available today, and this can be a sound way to add value to a home, without greatly increasing mortgage payments. If financing can be acquired, a home remodel plan can begin.



Making a Plan


It’s important to really plan for that dream house remodel. Many online sites and design magazines offer visuals that show what certain materials and color schemes look like in a room. This can be a great place to find ideas and also find ways to problem solve in certain areas in a home. Once a plan for the remodel is decided on, it’s wise to look for an experienced contractor who can help turn those ideas into reality.


Checking Online


It used to be more difficult to find a good contractor, but today with all the online sites available with listings of local contractors, that job is much easier. Sites offer information about contractors with referrals and references, as well as examples of past projects. After reviewing listings, a free phone consultation can be arranged with a good candidate. This talk gives the homeowner a chance to work through their ideas, like how to build stairs for a deck or build out a garage, and make a solid plan for improving their home. If the contractor is the right fit, an agreement should be made and the plans should commence.


Yes, a home remodel is a big project, but if planned well, it can be a great way to add to the enjoyment and value of a home.
