My wife and I purchased a new Maytag washer and dryer from Best Buy in Vestal last week. This is the tale of my rather poor experience.
The opening of our local Best Buy was eagerly anticipated by yours truly after Circuit City went bust last year. The new store had been open all of two [...]

This is not an easy review to write. Not because I don’t like or recommend the movie–I enthusiastically do! But because I don’t want to give away any of the plot, and because even two days later as I write this, the movie still haunts me.

The Cinema Saver shows second run movies at deep discounts, so it’s actually affordable to “chance” [...]
