Patton 360 Battle of
I’ve tried out numerous pedometers over the years, but this one is by far the most accurate and the best I have worn. I clip it on every day and it counts my steps, my aerobic steps, and my calories burned. It’s very accurate. I did a lot of research on pedometers before making this purchase, and this was the one that kept coming up as ideal. It has not let me down. The ownly downfall is how big it is. Thankfully my bosses don’t mind this attached to my pocket. Recommended!
Masters of War Patton
War is hell. More importantly, war is hell for those whose very lives are defined by it. The late George C. Scott brings Patton to life in a way that few actors could have. A West Point graduate who believed he was the reincarnation of Alexander The Great, Patton focuses on the character of the man and his obsessive rivalry with “Monty” his British counterpart. Patton comes across as a gunslinger in modern warfare believing that the code of conduct for a soldier in battle should be respected regardless of which side you’re on and, of course, his side should always be the winning side.
Francis Ford Coppola co-wrote the perceptive screenplay (and shared an Oscar for it)and the talented late director Franklin J. Schaffner (”Planet of the Apes”, “The Warlord”)fashioned his directorial masterpiece from the material he had at hand. Brilliantly filmed with sharp, powerful support performances (particularly from the talented Karl Malden), “Patton” remains one of the best films about an idividual involved in a massive war and what drove him to try and be the best.
The transfer by Fox looks vivid and sharp and, although this isn’t a high definition transfer, “Patton” looks really, really good even on higher resolution televisions. Unfortunately, the extras here are minimal particularly when compared to the marvelous two disc edition this single disc DVD was drawn from. The commentary is, at turns, dry and fascinating just like the subject himself. A pity that the two disc set is no longer available. If you can find it, it’s worth having.

First let me preface by saying that I do not review items often. However I was such taken aback by the quality of this piece of tech that I thought it deserved at least a few words. It arrived very quickly from the states (I’m based in the UK) excellent service, I placed the order on friday midday and then by Monday it was here! that is great service. The device feels really slick and smooth..the e-ink display is super crisp and crystal clear to read. very good contrasts and you can really appreciate the 16 shades of grey. it completely disappears after the first few lines. I turned it on straight out of the box and a few of my purchases were there waiting. the wireless system is very speedy, checked the kindle store just to see what it was like speed-wise. very fast and quick to download items. i really cannot fault this wonderful piece of kit!
