Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I went to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid with a friend last Saturday and I thought it was great. Greg Heffley is terrorized by the thought of middle school and is the shortest and probably most un-popular person. He is freaked out, but has a false bravado. Surrounded by weirdos, his older brother Rodrick, and his best friend Rowley make his life, in Greg's opinion, terrible.

I love this movie and I highly recommend it. It is very funny, scary, and gross, all at the same time. It has Greg narrating the whole movie, making it seem like you are seeing the story through his eyes. The casting in this movie was great, and the actors nailed their parts. Zachary Gordon, aka Greg, did a good job having a quirky, memorable face, but not being always such a likeable character. Robert Capron, aka Rowley, did a great job bringing the happy, childlike, and loyal Rowley as we know him today. Devon Bostick, aka Rodrick, did a fantastic job being very cruel and full of himself, but having an innocent face when needed.

Well, overall I give this movie two thumbs up, and it is better than How To Train Your Dragon 3-D.

Never Back Down

Never Back Down is a movie that I liked a lot and I think you will to. It starts out as this guy is playing football and he gets into a little fight and his brother got a scholarship on tennis so they moved. Then when he gets there he gets into another fight and so he trains at the gym and then fights the guy again at the end for revenge. This movie gets a two thumbs up rating from me because it is so action packed and my type of movie is action but most of all it is just a fun movie to watch.

To tell the truth I have not seen many movies like this one, but in the ones I have seen this one has to be the best. When one would first see this movie on a commercial or in a ad, it look sort of boring or as some people would say dorky. But seeing this movie on the big screen can really make a difference!
All the action scenes make this movie dramatic, expressive, and frighting, but the funny or friendly scenes, make this movie have caring, compassion, and love. All these qualities are very good to have in a movie, because there is something for everyone, no matter what one likes.




Although not all of this movie is action, some people would say there is too much action in it. Too much action can sometimes make a movie sad, but having something sad just makes a person want to keep watching so they will see if it gets better. Plus, it would be too boring with no sad parts.



The screen play must have been very imaginative, because almost every part of the movie is interesting. The director must of done a wonderful job with the actors and actresses because to a lot of people the expressions and animation on this movie was very well done.



Another thing I found interesting is, who sees a movie with animation, and real people every day? In fact, I the animation was so blended into the real people parts, sometimes one can forget it's even animation. I saw this film in 3D and loved it! I have to say, judging from the Academy Awards nominations and from many peoples' reviews (including mine), this film deserves two thumbs up. Nice job, Avatar!

101 Dalmatians



            101 Dalmatians is one of the best movies on the planet. The one I like is the original, the one that's animation. It’s a movie for all people, and, although some parts are sad, the ending is fantastic. It's a movie for all people, and especially those who like dogs. The movie is about 101 dalmatians and an evil lady named Cruella de Vil. It’s an exciting tale, and I would give it four thumbs up.

The Last Song

I thought The Last Song was a good movie, but it was really sad. A bunch of people where crying in the theater. The only thing I didn't really like was there was a lot going on at once. They also didn't explain everything that well. The movie was basically about a girl named Ronny and a boy named Jonah who get dropped off at there dads house in Georgia for the summer. There parents are divorced so they don't get to see the dad that often because the mom lives in New York City and the dad lives in Georgia. Jonah and the dad got along very well together but Ronny did not. Its a pretty long movie so I could say much more, but I might give it away.


The movie had so many little problems and details that it was kind of hard to follow everything. There could have been a whole separate movie for each problem or detail. Besides that I would probably give it a 2 thumbs up! I would recommend seeing this but if you don't like sad movies, its not a good movie for you too watch. I almost cried myself it was that sad. I thought it was really good and hope you watch it!

Mi Pueblo

Mi Pueblo is a marvelous mexican restaurant down in San Anselmo. It is a wonderful restaurant for the family, easily 3 whole forks. It is very well adapted to vegetarians and beef taco lovers, they have a big buffet of chips and the hottest salsa,(Also known as the best) tacos, burritos, and enchiladas the whole family can share. They have all the bean varieties you can eat. I hope you have fun and get a mouthful of awesome.

Bring it on: Fight to the Finish

Bring it on: Fight to the Finish is a movie that has cheerleading in it. I really liked it, because of the way the characters played their parts.

The movie is about a girl named Lina, who came from east L.A. to go to Malibu to live with her step dad and step sister. She goes to a new high school and becomes the captain of the Sea Lions cheerleading squad. A girl named Avery gets in the way of the Sea Lions becoming the All Star squad. But Lina doesn't let Avery get in her head. They go to the nationals, and they go forward to becoming an All Star. They do good. But you have to see the movie and see if they become All Stars. The rating of this movie is PG-13.

Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging is a definite girls movie. The best thing about it is the friends. All four girls, Georgia, Rosie, Ellen, and Jazz are in love with boys. Although Rosie has a boyfriend. The girls spot to gorgeous boys. Robbie and Tom. Well... things happen....

This movie was romantic, funny and two thumbs up. I think it might be on my top 5. Georgia the main character is not the prettiest but she knows her stuff. My favorite people in the movie are Jazz and Georgia. Well if you wanna know the truth... This movie has alot of kissing! That is what snogging is! The title makes the movie sound way to grown up but if one see's it they will have the prof! Well this movie always makes me happy when I see it!
