X-Men Apocalypse Review At Cinemark 17 Fayetteville, GA - Video X-Men Apocalypse Review At Cinemark 17 Fayetteville, GA I just saw X-Men Apocalypse at the Cinemark 17 Theater here in Fayetteville, Georgia. Honestly, while it was slow and plodding, I found that I really enjoyed it. The film was marked by a number of great performances, from Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender, to Oscar Issac and James McElvoy. Plus, the special effects were epically cool. The storyline fits within the X-Men canon, which is another way of saying if you have not seen an X-Men movie before, you may not dig this one much. But for X-Men fans, check it out. via IFTTT http://youtu.be/FIIsTF5mVmk

Las Vegas Oakland Raiders Stadium Will Give No Tax Revenue To City, County In Proposal - Video The Las Vegas Sands and Majestic Realty Oakland / Las Vegas Raiders Stadium Economic and Fiscal Impact document that is part of the information for the May 26th Southern Nevada Tourism and Infrastructure Commission was written to fool public officials. It promises tax revenue by the millions but then one small report section near the end of it calls for a tax increment revenue district. That area will collect all tax revenue and give it to the proposed stadium authority that is ran by the developer - in this proposal. So the City of Las Vegas and Clark County will not get tax revenue from the project if they go along with the tax increment revenue financing proposal. Oh and that is on top of the other $750 million the Las Vegas Sands and Majestic people want from an increase in the hotel tax. Greedy. via IFTTT http://youtu.be/T4JirSNtdbo
