Book Rating
This is the story about a young girl, second-generation Irish, Francie Nolan, growing up around 1912 in a tenement. The mother, Katie, works cleaning apartments to bring home enough money for food and very little else. The father, Frankie, is a singing waiter, but when he finds work, he ends up drinking most of his wages. He's kind to Francie, but he's an unreliable alcoholic. Her brother, Neely, is Katie's favorite, and is a typical brother to Francie. He's mostly off trying to be tough with the other neighborhood boys. Francie spends her time reading,with her goal to read through all the authors in her neighborhood library, and goes alphabetically.
  
The Hangover Part II (2011)
The Hangover Part II (2011)
2011 | Comedy
Why was this movie even made? It was just a money grab. The Hangover was hilarious, and they tried to make lightening strike twice. It did not work, at all. For one thing, the facial tattoo on Stu... Why wouldn't Mike Tyson allow it to be an exact copy? It was weird, considering Tyson was in the first one.
The funniest thing that I remember from this movie is when Alan calls Thailand 'Thi-land'. Other than that, blah. Bradley Cooper was nice to look at throughout, which is the only reason I'm rating it as high as I did.
I did not see the third one, and I'm content with never seeing it.

Used to be better...
I used to really love ibotta but then it seemed to evolve more toward a focus on alcohol.

I have nothing against alcohol, we just don't buy hardly any.

My favorite deals were the produce deals. We would often see what ibotta had rebates on for the week and plan our meals accordingly. Unfortunately, the deals also have shifted toward boxed foods, which doesn't work for a family that does a lot of cooking from scratch, like us.

It has the potential to be amazing but it's just not what it used to be and most of the time we don't even bother with it anymore.

Another Angry Birds, but begs for In App Purchases
This is literally a cash cow for Rovio.

I downloaded this app cause my kids love the films, however I found out over a couple of months that they were buying lots of gem packs, which Google and the designer was unwilling to refund. These were simple 99p purchases to £19.99 packs, having played the game I was offered to buy gems about 10 times in 15 minutes gameplay.

It is a good game but watch out for the milking of real money for gems and feathers

Elohim is an artist and producer based in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, she released a new version of her “F*ck Your Money” single, entitled, “FYM (Rock Mafia Remix)”, featuring rapper Wiz Khalifa.

‘FYM (Rock Mafia Remix)’ contains a relatable storyline, harmonious vocals, and lush instrumentation flavored with electro-pop and hip-hop elements.

The likable tune follows last week’s release of Elohim’s new EP, entitled, “BRAINDEAD”.

The 7-track project explores Elohim’s courageous struggle with mental health, a centerpiece of her artistry and songwriting since day one.

The release of “BRAINDEAD” is timed with the month of May in support of Mental Health Awareness Month.

Downloaded this app through a earnit app and at first I found it kind of boring but giving it a little time it is actually a lot of fun it's kind of like Monopoly except you can go to other players usually friends from your Facebook if you link your Facebook to the game and you can destroy some of their buildings still their money occupy some of their buildings. It's a real easy game to get into and once you really get the hang of it and start playing with friends it can get really addicting. I'm a huge fan of time-wasting games and this is one of the best I found

Awix (3310 KP) rated Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter (1974) in Movies

Feb 14, 2018 (Updated Feb 14, 2018)  
Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter (1974)
Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter (1974)
1974 | Adventure, Horror
Somewhat atypical late-period Hammer horror; feels a bit like a pilot for a TV show but is none the worse for that. Dope-smoking, katana-swinging action man Kronos does battle with a vampire that feeds off youth itself.

Works hard to avoid the usual clichés, with some great moments of black comedy along the way. References to other Hammer films from around the same time will please the faithful. Action choreography by doyen of swordmasters William Hobbs means that the fight sequences (especially the climactic duel) are considerably better than you'd expect from such a low-budget movie. Should have been the start of a series, but Hammer had run out of money.

Dice you don't roll, and books you don't read?!?!
This is a smart little game, that easily travels with you, the dice represent values, and therefore don't get rolled. It's essentially a set collection game with the values ever changing and the crux of the game is what to keep and what to pass, and then what to bid on when it comes up. Be savvy with your money until the time is right and get the best collection. Great little game. Not a ton of depth, but plays better with larger player counts, not especially good with 2 players.

Beatriz (138 KP) created a post in Pets!

Dec 4, 2018  
Hello! This is Hatty and she is a gerbil!
Me and Paige found her at Pets at Home one day
She had been given back by someone and the money for her would be given to charity
We fell in love with her the second we saw her so we immediately brought her home. She runs to us on her little ball, she nibles our fingers carefully not to hurt, and she gets all excited when we come home. She also loves kissies and make my back a slide. I would post videos of her but for some reason I can’t do here you have a picture of her to wish you all a good night!

Once Upon A Deadpool (Deadpool 2 PG-13 Version) (2018)
2018 | Action, Family
Should have went straight to video
I really like Deadpool 2, and this is basically the same thing. It has been cleaned up a bit so they could make it PG13. They also added in a few new scenes.
The things they added were funny, and the changes didn't take away from the over all effect of the movie.
The main reason I am giving it such a low rating is because, it was completely unnecessary. I would have understand a PG13 DVD release, but a theater release is just over kill. I think this is just a money grab mixed with an attempt to keep Deadpool relevant why they work on the next movie.
