We love our Roku's!!! We started several years ago with a Roku 2 box and from day 1 we were hooked!!! Currently we have six Roku's in the house (.Now, that you've got all your viewing options, there's only one thing left - movie snacks! Check out our favorite Halloween treats and eats to make this spooktacular season so you're all set for your next Halloween movie night. yes the original Roku 2 is still working beautifully) and the latest edition Roku 3800 is a most welcome addition. We live in a multi-generational household and reflect three generations of taste. The Roku's give us the freedom to watch whatever we want whenever we want. Our daughter and son-in-law recently bought us a 4K UHD TV for our bedroom and the first thing I did was to purchase a Roku Streaming Stick+ so that we could take full advantage of the incredible picture quality. We returned the favor when a bracket malfunction destroyed the TV in the kitchen and brought an HDTV for the family. Guess what the first purchase I made for it wa s? Right. Our grandchildren can enjoy their favorite Disney, Nick & Nick, Jr. programs along with a myriad of other child friendly programming without being subjected to the incessant commercials for more toys and sugared sodas. The adults can stream their favorite Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, etc. programs without competing for the living room couch!!! We took our Roku 2 Box and put it in one grandchild's room and our Roku 3600 Streaming Stick in the other child's bedroom. I was familiar with the upgraded Roku 3800 Streaming Stick because I recently installed one on the flatscreen in my wife's office. As long as the Roku's are getting a clear wireless signal they operate flawlessly. That did require us to add two extenders to areas of the house that were "dead zones" but that's really not the point.Few movies have done so much with so little as Locke. With barely one set-the inside of a car-and one on-screen actor (Tom Hardy) director Steven Knight sculpts a minimalist road movie from a transformative nighttime journey on an English motorway. It’s supremely tense and propulsive, but punctuated by moments of deep reflective stillness-the revelation of a lone state of mind that echoes out through the wider human experience and triggers bright flashes of recognition. Ivan Locke (Hardy) is a construction manager who discovers, out of the blue, that a woman he unknowingly impregnated during a drunken one-night-stand is about to give birth. Rather than return home, as planned, to watch a soccer match with his wife and kids, he chooses to face up to the consequences of his brief, uncharacteristic infidelity by driving through the night to help the woman cope with her labor.Ĭomplicating the mission is Locke’s obsessive, almost unhinged determination to make sure that the upcoming day’s work-a crucial concrete pour for the foundations of a massive building-goes ahead without a hitch, even though he has effectively deserted his post. The fallout for both his marriage and his job is likely to be catastrophic, but Locke is determined to break with his forebears’ long and inglorious history of running from hard truths. “The Lockes were a long line of shit,” he says to himself, summoning the ghost of his deceased, despised father in the rear-view mirror. “But I straightened the name out.”Įverything must be accomplished from behind the wheel of his SUV, through a series of phone calls that stretch his sanity, and our nerves, to breaking point. #Vudu the perfect assistant movie series. #Vudu the perfect assistant movie movie.
