Pete's Dragon
BFG
Secret Life of Pets
Ben Hur
Sausage Party
All these...

After having a Vizio M55-D0 for about 10 days and deciding I couldn't stand the judder of 60hz and realizing I wasn't yet ready for 4K (it made DVDs literally look like VHS), I traded it in for a 1080P LED set. I got a Sony KDL60W630B/2 that RTNGS spoke fairly high of. Everything looks fine...

I know The New Howdy Doody Show has a bad reputation among fans of the original Howdy Doody show -- heck, I watched it in 1976 and was a big fan, yet I'll be the first one to tell you the original show was better -- but I retain a fondness for it and it continues to be a "guilty pleasure." I...
So I just bought a new desktop and haven't yet touched it (meaning it is still in the box). I have already decided I'm going to add a 256 gb SSD to use as the boot drive. I assume I should go ahead and fire new box up (the SSD doesn't deliver until Oct 11) and configure it and then install new...
