Ford V. Ferrari

AVAILABLE NOW! RATED PG 153 MINUTES AMAZON Based on a true story, an eccentric, determined team of American engineers and designers, led by automotive visionary Carroll Shelby and his British driver, Ken Miles, are dispatched by Henry Ford II with the mission of building from scratch an entirely new race car with the potential to finally defeat the perennially dominant Ferrari at the 1966 Le Mans World Championship. Starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon. REVIEW: I can see why this one is an Oscar winner. What a great film! It's a great story. It has wonderful actors playing these roles that actually happened, and showing those who didn't live through it, how it all went down. I'm so glad I watched this one. I didn't think it was going to be that great, like whoopie, it's about racing. But actually, it's the history of the Mustang GT. What a piece of machinery it is too! The history behind it was so intriguing! The hub

The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter (9)

The edition I'm reading. Kindle:   27769 KB Print:  80 pages Publisher:  Warne; New Ed edition (May 28, 2010) ASIN:  B004CRSIL0 AMAZON The Tale of Peter Rabbit  was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902 and endures as Beatrix Potter's most popular and well-loved tale. Re-originated in 2002 to mark the centenary of publication bringing it closer to the original edition, six illustrations were restored, four that were removed in 1903 to make room for endpapers and two that have never been used before, Beatrix having initially prepared more illustrations than could be accommodated in the original format. AUTHOR BIO: Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and spent much of her childhood drawing and studying animals. The Tale of Peter Rabbit¸ published in 1902, was her first book, expanded from an illustrated letter she had sent to a young friend.

I shouldn't want him, but the harder I shove him away, the deeper he slips inside me. AXL She knocks me out like f*ckin' morphine. A good girl like Holly is a drug for a broken man like me.

They don't know it yet, but the f*ckers coming after her are already dead. I'm gonna make her mine, and
