REVIEW:
There were so many good actors in this movie I thought for sure it was foolproof and would be awesome. I really anticipated a great action movie.
It was just okay for me.
I think most of the movie was a little slow-paced, and it didn't really pick up until the end. Sadly, not soon enough though.
The idea of it being loosely based on the old adage, an eye for an eye, wasn't for me either. It's been done too many times to count, so in order for it to stand out it needs to be impeccably done.
The ending as I said was different and what I liked most about the film. Don't think it was because it was finally ending, though honestly, that helped too. I was over it at that point. The last of the movie was really gritty, and if you read my blog regularly, that's kinda what I'm into. I don't want fluff, I want blood and gore. What can I say?! My mom claims I should have been a boy.
Will I recommend it? Probably not. I probably won't think about it again.

 2/5

As some of you may know, I love taking photos. Photography is a hobby of mine, but I often add some of my work to my walls. Recently, I was contacted by Canvas Champ, a company dedicated to making your photos come to life on canvas prints.


Since I had recently moved, the first thing to do was to walk around the place and see where a piece of art needed to be placed. Then it was about finding the perfect photo in my collection to hang there. Next, I was onto the website to start building the print.



Once you start, it will seem like there is too many options, but it's so easy to use. You choose the size, and within a few minutes you will be done and waiting for your art to show up.



The user interface is a simple design that you can easily get through with no hassle, even if you are not computer savvy a…

Why Upping Your PR Skills Can Help You as a Blogger

When it comes to running a blog, there are a lot of things you need to think about to be a success. Some of them are obvious, like coming up with quality content and marketing yourself well on social media, and yet they can be forgotten by a lot of bloggers.
