A walk and talk romance set in the beautiful city of Hong Kong, the film asks the question - what happens when you meet the right person at the wrong time?

Other than attempting to bleach them or heading to the dentist's office in a last ditch effort before heading to Comic Con (as a vampire with fake - but very white - vampy teeth), there's no way to remove plaque on your own. Don't fear though, Global Ionics has heard the call with a new tool to avoid the situation in the first place - the Ionic ProClean toothbrush.

Read MoreWhat a weekend! My feet are sore, my shoulders are bruised from hauling home all my swag, but I was definitely in my element: Surrounded by books and authors willing to hand me books for free.
Most of the panels were things I'd seen before; getting kids to read, visual literacy, digital books and lending, and a host of interesting (and entertaining) authors taking questions from their fans. But my personal goal for his adventure was to bring back more books to review for you all. Boy, did I ever luck out.
Currently, I have 12 titles pending where the authors know to expect a review, and 7 others I'm reviewing just for the heck of it. I'll be posting these as quickly as I can read them so look forward to them!
The highlight was meeting briefly with the two geniuses behind CinemaSins and hearing them talk about how they got started and what upcoming projects they have. They're such down to earth, intelligent, hilarious guys, and it was a pleasure to meet them.
The event was amazing and I look forward to going next year (with better shoes, perhaps?). I can't wait to get to reading all these awesome books and telling you guys all about them!

Altantic City Boardwalk Con took place on May 14 to May 17th at Altantic City Convention Center. Overall the con had a good turn out for its first year, but did suffered a little bit from the common first con blues.
Location: As stated above the con took place at the Altantic City Convention Center. This is actually a very nice spacious setting to hold the con. With three floors available a lot of halls like Hall D, B etc. I can see the con expanding to more floors and the entire convention center in the future. There is plenty of breathing room on the main floor, which I consider important for any con. Everything was separated greatly.
The autographed section was kept far from the vendors, panel sections. Artist alley and indie artist were all gracious to chat about their work. Vendors and booth were also setup nicely. I love how they had all featured cosplayers in one section. Miracole and Chris Burns were on hand as Rogue and Hawkeye (will catch you guys next time, sorry I missed ya.) Having all the featured cosplayers in one area made it convenient. It gets tiresome going booth to booth looking for your favorite cosplayers. Having them in one section was great and hope to see other cons follow suit.
The location is right in the heart of Atlantic City as well. After the con we had a great time to go sightseeing. The team visit various casinos such as Caesars Palace, Taj Mahal and more. We even enjoy a calm stroll on the boardwalk.
Hail Justin!
Guests: The con had a good billed such as The Flash cast, Stan Lee. Unfortunately first con blues struck and the stars had to cancel. However that didn't really hurt the con much. Stars like William Shatner, Adam West were still on deck. As any con it gets better with age and I see this being the con the be for our friends in New Jersey.
Showroom Floor: The showroom floor had a lot of cool things to see. Three things I found fantastic was the Batmobile display which was amazing. The Batmobile from major Batman live action adaptations were on hand. Adam West Batmobile, Batman Forever, The Tumbler and The Batpod. I truly wanted to drive the Batpod. More cars were on display as well as the Ecto 1 from Ghostbusters, signed by the GB Cast themselves.
Finally the suit display in the middle of the convention was great. I went full geek when I saw the Space Ghost suit on display. As a kid who stayed up late watching the original Space Ghost on Cartoon Network. I can appreciate the suit on display.
Final Words: Altantic City Boardwalk Con was pretty good for its first yea. Like any con it has some kinks to workout. Overall the staff had a blast, which you can see in our outtakes with 8Bit drum below. ACBC is off to great start, once it finds its niche it will be the definitive con in Jersey.
