Arriving on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand on Tuesday November 13th from STXfilms & Universal Pictures Home Entertainment  is the action-packed film Mile 22! It's already available on Digital.

Directed by Peter Berg (Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon), Mile 22 stars an outstanding cast including Mark Wahlberg (Deepwater Horizon) along with Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead), Iko Uwais (The Raid), Ronda Rousey (Fast & Furious 7) and John Malkovich (Red).

In a visceral modern thriller from the director of Lone Survivor, Mark Wahlberg plays James Silva, an operative of the CIA’s most highly-prized and little-known unit. Aided by a top-secret tactical command team, Silva must transport an asset (Uwais) who has vital information to an airfield for extraction before the enemy closes in. “Loaded with edge-of-your-seat action” (Steve Weintraub, Collider), Mile 22 is the perfect film for fans of fast-paced combat cinema.

Deemed as “Mark Wahlberg’s best action movie to date” (Jack Giroux, Film), Mile 22 is filled with non-stop action and intense stunts. The film on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital comes packed with exciting bonus features including a behind-the-scenes look at stunts with actor and stunt choreographer Iko Uwais, a special featurette on the fearless female actresses and more that take audiences deeper into the adrenaline-filled story.

I have been receiving several unrequested books this year, including Her Fear by Shelley Shepard Gray. I'm a fan of the author's writings, so I was thrilled to receive the book. However, since I didn't request to review the book, I put the title on the backburner for a few months, until I had time to read it.

I barely made it through last week. Between Halloween and dealing with my grandma's issues, I am extremely stressed! Actually, my grandma's dementia has been my #1 problem this year. She's 77 and lives in an apartment that is in a small senior community. For the last six months, she has refused to leave her apartment. Well, until my mother and me practically dragged her to the doctor's office last week. (Don't worry we didn't actually drag her.) We thought the doctor might put her in the hospital or recommend putting her in a nursing home, but all he did was take one medication away that he thought was interfering with a new antidepressant. If this doesn't work, the doctor said he would try other medications, which is probably what's going to happen.

For the past few weeks, either my mom or me have been taking my grandmother's meals to her, as she refuses to cook anything for herself. While she does have dementia, she's capable of doing some things if she wants to, but that's the main problem, she doesn't want to do anything. She has suffered from depression most of her life and it has gotten worse since her older brother died this year. 

I'm sick of tired that my mother and me are the only two people in my family who will help my grandma. I have two aunts, one uncle (who is worthless), and several "adult" cousins that will do nothing. Now, an aunt and two cousins do live far away, but the rest are just lazy! They won't send cards to my grandmother, not even for her birthday or Mother's Day. Her son (who I refuse to my call "uncle") hasn't visited her in years.

Thanksgiving is less than three weeks away and my grandma has already said she isn't going to the family dinner, which will only consist of my parents, my dad's brother, my maternal aunt, her husband, and their three young kids, and myself. Let's just say I'm not looking forward to the holidays this year. I'm actually dreading it.

Audiences today are becoming more and more discerning, as the world of media grows ever more fast-paced and sophisticated. While in years past it was enough for a speaker to get up to a lecture and go through a rote “point and click” slide show in order to engage a crowd, today’s audiences are demanding much more. Time is precious to today’s professionals, and no one wants to sit through a boring talk that offers little more information that can be gleaned by going through a book or magazine article. All of this is why event planning companies nyc and other major cities are becoming the go-to businesses for those who want to create an event that has major impact. 


Advances in digital technology have made it possible for savvy event companies to produce major shows that communicate a message in a big way. With lights, sound, video and virtual settings, today’s events have the impact of a major motion picture, which goes a long way towards selling an idea or a product to an audience. It’s possible to make a major event that truly engages a crowd on many levels, and leaves them wanting more.

Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @  Caffeinated Book Reviewer!

I'm a few days behind in my reading schedule. I just finished reading Her Fear by Shelley Shepard Gray early this morning and I'll be posting my review for it this afternoon.

Originally, I was going to start reading Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter 2: The Axe Will Fall by C.A. Verstraete on my Kindle on Friday, but I didn't get around to it, so hopefully I will find time to read it today. 

I'll be probably be speed reading 18 Wheels of Science Fiction anthology tomorrow, so I can post my review for it on Tuesday.

Later in the week, I'll be reading Robert B. Parker's Colorblind by Reed Farrel Coleman, which I have had an ARC copy for awhile now. It's a non-requested title that was sent to me earlier this year.
