Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules - The Movie

I enjoyed this movie a lot. It suprised me how the plot was and wasn't true to the book. It may be the fact that I read the books a year ago, but it felt like the plot had changed. The acting isn't great, but Devon Bostick, who plays Rodrick, is pretty hilarious. I give the 2nd movie in this series an 8 out of 5.

The Hunger Games - Book One of the Hunger Games series

Ok. This series will make you want to read books, something nothing has done for me in a looooooooong time. It is literature at its best. The characters are really interesting, and the way everything happens just is incredibly amazing. By this I mean how one thing follows another in a way that keeps the reader interested. Suzanne Collins's newest book gets a 9.5 out of 5.

Rango - The Movie

Wow. This is definetly one of the best movies I've ever seen. The animation is amazing, the things look like what they actually are, and the voice acting is REALLY good. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this movie. It was incredably amazing. Period. I give it a 10 out of 5.

Mega Python VS Gatoroid - The TV Movie

Wow. This TV movie is really...unique? I'll use that. I personally know one of the main characters, and a side character. The acting is good, but the effects? Bad with a capital B. It is clearly fake, especially when it is partially above the water. Also, it is completely unrealistic. They blow up something beneath a bridge, but the bridge doesn't blow up. I give this a 7.5 out of 5.

More Thanksgiving jokes

I want to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Here are some more jokes to tell at the table. Check out last year's jokes for some more ideas. A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one fresh enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, "Don't you have fresh turkeys?"

While the players gazed in amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and demanded a tryout. Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught pass after pass and ran right through the defensive line. When the turkey returned to the sidelines, the coach shouted, "You're terrific!!! Sign up for the season, and I'll see to it that you get a huge bonus." "Forget the bonus," the turkey said, "All I want to know is, does the season go past Thanksgiving Day?"

Madden '11-The Video Game

Not really much to review here. Another Madden game with updated rosters, better graphics, and current records. However, they did change the kicking style, which I personally like more than the old way. I think it's pretty obvious when the cuts in the commentary are. I think the new stuff doesn't compare as well to the old styles, but I like it. I give this videogame an 8.5 out of 5.

Sabotaged-The Book

This book is the 3rd in the Missing series by Margret Peterson Haddix, and you need to read the 1st two books to understand it. The first is Found,the second is Sent. This series is probably going to consist of more books, so be on the look out for them. It is a little slow, but once it picks up pace it gets really good. I rate this book an 8 out of 5.
