 If you are looking for the mind-numbing special effects movie-goers have come to expect at your neighborhood multiplex, don’t order this magnificently real perspective on war in general. The Hurt Locker won the 2010 Best Picture Oscar…against strong competition from a technologically overwrought marvel like Avatar. Leave it to a woman, Kathryn Bigelow, to direct the 2010 Best Picture Oscar winner. This is not a movie about the politics of war; this is a movie about war being the job that the characters do. And, speaking of characters…Jeremy Renner is magnificent as the resourceful staff sergeant who is addicted to the adrenaline rush of life-on-the-edge.
Interesting, isn’t it, how there are some movies that are best enjoyed in the privacy of your home…instead of a crowded theater? Your home is the perfect setting to view this intense and “must see” Best Picture of the year. |

 Brad Pitt takes no prisoners in Quentin Tarantino’s high-octane WWII revenge fantasy Inglourious Basterds, a nominee for Best Picture Oscar. As war raged in Europe, a Nazi-scalping squad of American soldiers, known to their enemy as “The Basterds,” was on a daring mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Bursting with “action, hair-trigger suspense and a machine-gun spray of killer dialogue” Basterds is another Tarantino masterpiece with a crowd-pleasing revision to history.
We found ourselves laughing aloud at the over-the-top antics of the Basterds…and then, being shocked at ourselves upon absorbing the fact that those antics were savage and brutal as only Tarantino can do savagery and brutality. And, speaking of funny, savage and brutal…all in one sentence…the performance of Christoph Waltz, as the diabolically sinister and evil Nazi, was the only choice for Best Supporting Actor honors at the Oscars.
Turn off the phone, pop the popcorn, chill the beverage, get in the comfy sweats…you need to watch this perspective on war without interruption. |

 Used originally to protect missile parts, the list of effective uses of WD-40 has grown to near “urban legend.” From the mundane removal of road tar and grime from cars to keeping pigeons off outdoor patios (they don’t like the smell), WD-40 is the gift that keeps on giving! It protects the Statue of Liberty surface…removes all traces of duct tape…and, our personal favorite…spraying WD-40 on arm, hand and knee joints to relieve arthritis pain. WD-40 is a must-have in every home, garage and vehicle in America. |

 We’ve found the perfect solution for cooked laps and hot laptops – the Notebook Buffer! This lightweight cooling pad cannot be squashed, but it bends, folds, rolls up and protects your computer and your lap from overheating. Notebook Buffer’s soft fibers adjust to the contours of any surface. Open-cell technology is the part of the clever design that allows your laptop’s heat to escape long before it cooks you both. Elevating your computer less than an inch off your lap, there’s plenty of fresh air in there, and it really takes the heat off! The Notebook Buffer provides cushioning protection for your laptop in your computer bag while traveling. It weighs in at less than 4 ounces, and the overall size of 15 x 10.5 inches will do the job for any portable computer. Every notebook becomes a laptop with Notebook Buffer! |
