LG G4 Review and Giveaway

Now that the flagships from Samsung and HTC have been on the market for a little while, LG is here to shake things up with their newest flagship device: the LG G4. The successor to the LG G3 (which we loved), the G4 refines what was great about the G3, and it manages to stand out in a crowded market thanks to a great camera, removable battery, gorgeous screen, and optional genuine leather back cover.

The LG G4 is a gorgeous phone that feels great in the hand, but it couldn’t be further from the slim, metal Galaxy S6 Edge (our review). With a 5.5″ screen, it’s also a good deal larger than other flagship phones, like the 5″ HTC One M9 (our review); in fact, physically, it has the most in common with the much cheaper Asus ZenFone 2 (our review), which itself looks a lot like an LG G3 copy.

The curved back panel gets pretty thick at the center — 9.8mm to be exact — but it tapers around the edges, which makes for a comfortable grip. The phone comes in both genuine leather and plastic back cover versions, though we reviewed one with black leather. It makes for a fingerprint-free device that’s also comfortable and warm to hold.

That takes you to here: I clicked on the filter at the top and told it to filter out everything but male characters and then I saw this: I rolled with Buck and continued. You need to click Select...

MoviePass drops pricing to under $7 per month, if you opt for the annual plan

MoviePass, the subscription service that lets consumers pay a monthly fee to see unlimited movies in theaters across the U.S., is slashing its prices yet again. The company announced today it’s now offering its service for $6.95 per month, down from the current price of $9.95 per month, when customers commit to a one-year subscription plan. That works out to a flat fee of $89.95 annually. The deal is a limited-time promotion, as opposed to a permanent pricing change, but MoviePass didn’t say how long the offer is valid. However, it is open to both new and existing subscribers – the latter who would receive a 25 percent savings on their current subscription if switching over to the annual plan. This is not the first time that MoviePass has dropped its pricing. When the company introduced its $9.95 per month, one-movie-per-day plan this August, down from $15 for 2 movies per month (or more in select markets like L.A. and NYC, and going as high as $50), it saw so many new sign-up...
