Going Nowhere by Lena North
Going Nowhere is a fun-filled frolic with angels, shifters, witches, and glitter-farting unicorns. If you are after a heavy, angst-laden book, then I'm sorry, but you've found the wrong one!
This is an action-packed book that has romantic elements to it, but it doesn't overrule the whole story. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments, in fact, far too many to count. I loved this book from start to finish. With its crazy family, and heart-warming characters, plus there is always which one Hibiscus will go for?!
A brilliant story that I hope will be the start of a new series. Excellently written, with no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow. I thoroughly enjoyed every word, and really can't recommend this lighthearted novel highly enough.

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Cash App - Single by Medicated Marley in Music
Jun 17, 2019
Medicated Marley is an up-and-coming rapper and Instagram personality. Not too long ago, she released her debut single, entitled, “Cash App”, produced by RV3RS.
“Drop it to the floor bring it back now. I don’t wanna hear about your rap style, I just want the money bring the cash out. I just want the money here’s my Cash App, b*tch.” – lyrics
‘Cash App’ tells an interesting tale of a super-confident young woman who is all about her money.
Apparently, she resides on the westside like a Laker and has an up-to-par style with lots of flavors. Also, she smokes a lot of hydro weed and claims that she can out smoke any dude.
‘Cash App’ contains a relatable storyline, pleasing rap vocals, and vibey instrumentation flavored with hip-hop and trap elements.

David McK (3663 KP) rated The Star Wars in Books

Based on George Lucas' original rough-draft for 'Star Wars', this is an interesting read not so much for the (somewhat disconnected) story, but to see how the movies grew out of the original rough draft: this is very different from those movie(s), albeit with some of the characters and place names still showing up but in a different manner - most noticeable, perhaps, in the characters of Han Solo and Darth Vader (and 'May the Force of Others be with you' just doesn't sound right, does it?).
Having read this, it's also now VERY clear that Lucas was to re-use elements of his original rough draft in the Prequel trilogy, particularly in the whole Princess-in-hiding section(s) that are included in both The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.
The art is impressive, but the dialogue/story? Not so much.

Colombian drama (with thriller elements) is strong on visual style and raw cinematic power. Eight child soldiers guard a hostage and a cow in the remote wilderness, but excitable teenagers and high-powered semi-automatic weapons are never an advisable mix, and the relationships within the group begin to deteriorate...
Don't get too hung up on the thriller angle, for while there is a degree of running around with guns and some shooting, this is much stronger on atmosphere and understated characterisation. The film obviously owes a debt to Lord of the Flies (the appearance of a pig's head on a stick at one point is an acknowledgement of this) but the movie is more oblique and less focused than that. Clearly heartfelt, with a striking soundtrack and some breathtaking moments of visual style; a memorable experience even if it's not a particularly comfortable one.

Fairy Tale: True Loves Kiss
Maleficent- is a movie that people are mix about. Some people hate it, some people love it. For me i like it. Its a different take on the oringal source materal but with the same elements.
The plot: As a beautiful young woman of pure heart, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) has an idyllic life in a forest kingdom. When an invading army threatens the land, Maleficent rises up to become its fiercest protector. However, a terrible betrayal hardens her heart and twists her into a creature bent on revenge. She engages in an epic battle with the invading king's successor, then curses his newborn daughter, Aurora -- realizing only later that the child holds the key to peace in the kingdom.
Angelina Jolie is really good as Maleficent and Elle Fanning is really good as Aurora.
It is a underrated movie and should be watched.

Pretty good!
Thank you smash bomb!!! Finally got round to watching this movie that I received from the smash bomb competition.
Brilliant follow on from avengers endgame I felt it really brought spider-man up to date very advanced. Definitely worth the watch!
Young Peter Parker finally gets a summer off traveling with school, and with MJ the girl he has a crush on, but ofcourse for any super hero his work isn't too far behind as the four elements come to attack Venice right where they are, spider man meets mysterio a new hero and they join forces to try and stop whatever it is that keeps coming to cause harm to earth. Not going to ruin the story line but with a few twists and unexpected turns you see who is behind these attacks. Good action couldn't take my eyes off the screen!!
