True Events That Inspired the Hit Mob Movie Casino

September 26th, 2017

CEO

Casino is one of the best movies made in the 1990s and remains hugely popular to this day. Released in 1995 and starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone, the film is based on the non-fiction book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas by Nicholas Pileggi and centers on the relationship between two friends. One is a mafia enforcer and the other is a casino executive, and the two compete against each other over a gambling empire, fast living and women.

As with many great movies, Casino was based on several true events. It was not exactly a ‘true story’ movie, but several of the events and the plot was inspired by real-life events. In fact, the main characters in the Martin Scorsese-directed film were based on real people. Sam ‘Ace’ Rothstein is based on Frank Rosenthal, Anthony Spilotro inspired Nicky Santoro, Ginger McKenna is based on Geri McGee and Phillip Green was an inspiration from Allen Glick.

Elvis Presley’s Incredible Influence on Las Vegas

September 26th, 2017

CEO

Although Elvis Presley’s untimely death came in 1977 when the legendary singer was only 42 years of age, his memory still lives on and he is still a hugely important icon even today. One place in particular has a lot to thank the King of Rock and Roll for, and that’s the world-famous gambling hub Las Vegas. Elvis was one of the most important figures to make regular appearances at the Nevada city and help boost the appeal of the casino capital of the world. Here we discuss Elvis’s Vegas years, and how apparent it is that his spirit is still very much alive in every corner of Sin City today.

“It’s the end of the world as we know it!”

How else do you explain the multiple hurricanes that exceed their category strengths hitting some places back to back without recovery? What reason is there for earthquakes to hit the same country twice without losing much strength? Smokey the Bear can’t prevent the forest fires and his tears are hardly enough to put them out…and that is just one continent!

Then to add sick, twisted insult to injury the leader of the free world is pissing on the rest of the leaders in the world, every chance he gets. It is possible that the only thing saving us from war is the fact that they know like most Americans, that we are dealing with an old senile idiot? We don’t want war. His mouth is writing checks he thinks our asses are going to pay for but much like the President of Mexico, John McCain, Maxine Waters and Stephen Curry he has been met with an emphatic Hell No!

Chronicles Of A Semi-Hot Mom: Single Parenting & More…

September 21st, 2017

CEO

By Arita Sysamout

In preschool, my son came home and asked me when I would start to look old like the other parents? My response was “Not for a very long time.” I’m hot enough to where the other moms at school don’t want to be my friend but not hot enough to be an Instagram model. The side eye is blatant when I show up to practice in heels. Yes, bitches, I work all day and rush straight to practice in my work attire. I don’t get the luxury of living in yoga pants and hanging out at Chik-fil-A. That was one of my first experiences with meeting other moms; I was already the odd woman out. I’m a full-time parent, zero time runner, we had nothing in common. They asked me if I was babysitting my own kid? To some that may sound like a compliment, but to me it sounds like a snide insult. No, I wasn’t 12 when I had him and I won’t apologize for my taut skin.

One Of The Best Early Gangster Movies

September 19th, 2017

CEO

Gangster and heist movies took off as a genre back in the 1930s. While films such as The Godfather, Goodfellas and The Departed are still popular in 2017, they are relatively recent movies produced in an era where technology has advanced massively. Still, it was as far back as the 1930s when gang and mafia-related films first started to gain the attention of the public in the United States of America.

One of the best gangster movies of all time is Little Caesar. A 1931 American pre-Code crime film, it centred on a hoodlum who rises through the ranks of organised crime until he reaches its upper echelons. The film was actually based on the novel of the same name by William R. Burnett and is more popular than the book. Received well by the critics, Little Caesar aptly portrayed the social situation at the time and is worth a watch even now if someone wants to get a picture of what life was in the 1930s.

Tati’s World: Gennady “GGG” Golovkin – Canelo Alvarez Makes My Love/Hate Relationship With the Sport of Boxing Flare UP!

By Tatiauna Miller

I have fond memories of my dad and me watching boxing on the weekends when I was younger. We’d watch old fights and new ones, compare our favorite boxers and discuss the different fighting styles. Back then, my father would watch them all, he had favorites in every weight class, but I preferred to watch the smaller faster guys because it made for a more interesting fight. As I grew up, I started watching less Boxing and more of the UFC because I saw how crooked the sport was becoming. I remember feeling dissatisfied after each fight, even the great boxers were disappointing. I remember feeling so upset with Mike Tyson after the “Ear” incident, or the Mayweather, JR. sucker punch to Victor Ortiz, that shit still pisses me off! All that drama in the ring and out, sullied the excitement of the sport for me. If I wanted to watch drama with a side of fighting, I could just watch the WWE or Jerry Springer.

The Mafia Chronicles: Louisiana’s Dark Side, From Carlos Marcello to Barry Seal and Beyond

By Larry Henry

To many, Louisiana is an alluring destination known for moss-draped bayous and excellent food, where the unofficial state motto, Laissez les bon temps rouler (Let the good times roll), defines not just a widespread infectious attitude but also an inherited way of life.

To others, the Bayou State is a breeding ground for 747-sized mosquitos and something more sinister: organized crime and political corruption.

A few things connected to Louisiana popped up on my radar screen recently, reminding me that my home state remains a place of never-ending interest and intrigue. This is especially true regarding its well-documented history of crime and corruption.

The Neighborhood Watch: The Consequences Of Being Polite!

September 17th, 2017

CEO

By Katrina Broner

To Be Rudely Polite About It…

The only way to get people to be polite these days is to be rude about it. Then it seems that you can’t be polite without it quickly escalating into being mistaken for hardcore flirting. The only happy medium is to be a bit of a jerk.

I can’t stand people, especially children, that don’t say Please & Thank You! It’s a really simple way to acknowledge kindness but it can also get you more than what you asked for. One would think at this point in human history, common courtesy is just a built in behavior but it’s not. It’s more like a generational flaw at this point for so many. You can always tell if a person is just being rude or they truly just didn’t notice. But how many times have you been walking into a store and a person didn’t hold the door but they definitely saw you right behind them? I’m the jerk that’s not afraid to put them on blast and get loud…Thank you for holding the door!

Did you know they have all kinds of “Days” to honor ridiculous things like April 30th Hairstyle Appreciation Day and March 10th Middle Name Pride day, but no Sober Friends day? I proclaim September 15th as “National Sober Friends Day!”

Sober friends are extremely important. This person is the physical representation of a drunken friend’s conscience. When all things in the drunk friend’s head goes to shit, this person brings out the pooper scooper. Sober friends have probably seen you at your absolute worse and still choose to hang out with you and if anything that deserves some praise, or maybe a trip to the therapist.

Will Beauty and the Beast Rule the 2017 Box Office?

September 13th, 2017

CEO

When you look movies set to dominate the 2017 worldwide box office, there are beauties and there are beasts. How did Fate of the Furious make over a billion dollars while one of the best films of the year, Logan Lucky, bombed? I’ll tell you how: the public (as a whole) doesn’t give a damn about quality; it wants spectacle; it wants CGI cars being chased by a submarine; it doesn’t want (or at least need) Oscar-worthy storytelling.

People now look at movies and ask themselves: is it worth spending cash and seeing in theatre or can I wait and download it at home? It’s a sad state of affairs, but reality is that the public wants to see super heroes, Vin Diesel, and Disney characters on the big screen, while quality sits on the sidelines waiting and collecting awards. Right Moonlight?
