Life of Crime … Exploring with Orkin {+ Giveaways}*

{Notice: The winner of the $15 Fandango gift card is Marcy M. and the winner of the Orkin giveaway is Brian B. Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all that entered the giveaways.}

Once again I’m being different and bringing you two awesome giveaways, but they’re not books. The first is book-related, while the second is geared toward youngsters going back to school.

Life of Crime, the new caper comedy from legendary author Elmore Leonard starring Jennifer Aniston, Tim Robbins, Will Forte and Isla Fisher, hit theaters, on demand and iTunes on August 29th! 

To celebrate the release of Life of Crime, I have a $15 Fandango gift card to giveaway to one lucky visitor. More details in a moment.

Have you heard about the movie or read the book? Well, here’s a brief summary of the movie:

      When a pair of low-level criminals kidnap the wife of a corrupt real-estate developer, they get both more and less than they bargained for in Life of Crime, a dark caper comedy based on legendary author Elmore Leonard’s novel The Switch. 

      Starring Jennifer Aniston, John Hawkes, yasiin bey, Mark Boone Junior, Isla Fisher, Will Forte and Tim Robbins, Life of Crime is packed with the outrageously eccentric characters, black comedy and unexpected twists that earned Leonard a reputation as one of America’s sharpest and funniest crime writers.

      Mickey Dawson (Jennifer Aniston), the wife of crooked real-estate developer Frank Dawson (Tim Robbins), is kidnapped by two common criminals (yasiin bey and Jon Hawkes), who intend to hold her for a $1 million ransom and extort her husband with inside information about his illegal business dealings. But Frank, who is holed up in the Bahamas with his mistress, decides he’d rather not get his wife back, setting off a sequence of double-crosses and plot twists that could only come from the mind of master storyteller Elmore Leonard. 

Here’s the movie trailer for Life of Crime for your viewing pleasure and to entice to a bit more.
