QUEENPINS


7 out of 10.💸💰 

I don’t know if you saw the video of that man that wouldn’t leave the window seat for a child, who said he paid for it and if the mother knew her child would like a window seat, she should have bought a window seat ticket for her child? It's from this movie.

The first thing is, how could this movie - which is made of legendary stuff - be a box office bomb (that means it didn’t do well, not that it blew up)? Maybe they didn’t do enough publicity or something, because you need to watch this movie. Totally recommend.

C, a stay-at-home wife who was a 3-time Olympic racewalker (this is an actual Olympic sporting event - you basically walk very fast) does nothing but coupon clipping and rearranging the house after she had a miscarriage and they don’t have enough money for another round of IVF. She is best friends with her neighbor, T, who is in the beauty business but had her identity stolen by Tempe Tina (Bebe Rexha) and now everybody thinks she’s a fraudster. The stolen identity is not the demonic kind, just legal and financial, you get.

C’s husband is a brutally honest fellow (I don’t like people like that) that has no human emotions so after he spoke to her one day and she angrily went to eat something but found out it was spoilt; she wrote to the factory. They sent her a coupon for a free box of cereal in apology but when she went to cash it (is that what they do to coupons?), the supermarket attendant told her it was nothing special, they do that for everyone who complains.

She goes home and sends a mail to every company she can, and gets a free coupon from every single one. She finds out there’s a factory in Mexico where these coupons are printed and tells T to join her. They get to the factory and meet this crooked couple who work there and recruit them to help them steal the coupons, which they then sell for a fraction of the price of the product online.

They make a lot of money but the companies notice and they are tracked by 2 weird officials and arrested. Since they have a lot of money, they find a good lawyer. C goes to jail for 11 months and T gets probation. Their accounts were frozen but they didn’t keep most of the money in the bank so T goes to Montenegro with it so that they can continue the business once C gets out since there’s another coupon factory there and they can’t be arrested there. 

Meanwhile, while they were making money, C went for IVF and it was successful. When the husband went to tell her story for the gods when she was arrested, she divorced the idiot.

So, all’s well that ends well – for criminals. I liked the way the movie played out but it was a bit drab overall, think of it like a heist movie but yahoo-yahoo white people style.

LOOT EP. 1

  Welcome to my new happy place! I love this series so much – thus far. I started by downloading one episode to test it out, then downloaded the remaining once I was done with the first. It’s a little less than 30 minutes per episode and while there’s 10 episodes in the season, only 6 (now 8) are out for now. All episodes are standalone though. Story starts with Molly’s 45 th birthday. She’s married to a billionaire and they started out poor together. She got a boat- think Titanic size - for her birthday but at the party later, discovers her husband is cheating on her with his secretary (who was 1 year old when they graduated college). She gets a very painful divorce and 87 billion dollars. Apparently, she didn’t do anything but live rich once they became rich because she doesn’t know she has a charity organization. She gets called in by the very scary but pretty lady who heads the charity because her post traumatic divorce lifestyle is disturbing their reputation and decide...

  Molly’s husband does an interview (remember Meghan and Harry with Oprah- that kind) with his new wife and you know all these people who smile and insult you with very kind words, he’s that kind of person. She gets angry and decides to do one, sorry, ten too.   She preps for the interviews and all but on the interview day, gets scared and cancels. She decides to do a YouTube interview instead, the Hot Table Talk. You eat peppery food and talk. There are 10 levels. You can cool down with beer or milk. From the first bite, our aunty started drinking. You know that sweating and dripping nose, she was experiencing everything. She couldn’t sit. She was just gulping beer, Mixing it with milk. It was bad. Then she started getting angry- after she was drunk. She told them she could buy the studio and burn it down – as she was hopping around. She also told them she could kill them and nothing would happen. It was quite the interview.  She got 8 million views, with a lot of co...

  Molly decides to get involved in the day-to-day work at the charity and first day, she’s almost fainting at 10:04. They only get 5 minutes to talk about their weekend and there’s a lot of work to do. I know she sounds spoilt but after they got rich, she became a stay at home, go to lunch, the spa and cocktails kind of wife, you get. The movie gives an inkling into the lives of rich wives who are not WAGs, what do they do? Her friends who are currently in Miami call her but she can’t go meet them because she doesn’t want to seem unserious so she takes everyone at the office to Miami for a “bonding trip”. They were already a bit peeved about being kidnapped, then there’s a thunderstorm and they have to land in Oklahoma where they get stuck for hours.    They head back to the office but Molly goes to Miami, which she hates because her friends are fake people and it was not worth it. She apologizes after getting back to work and just invites the work people to the res...
