Jump In---Movie review

This past week we were in Gretna at our friend Madelyn's house. We rented three movies from Gretna food and video (the only store in Gretna) we got Barbie Diaries, Mr. Bean's Holiday and Jump In! We watched Jump In one morning. We head all seen it before, Thea and I had seen it when we went to Vancouver! I'd say it was just as good the second time!

Jump In is about an undefeated boxer named Izzy/Isadore who's Dad is so proud of him and wants him to be a boxer forever. But Izzy joins a double dutch team and they compete in a bunch of competitions! Izzy is played by Corbin Blue.

I really like Jump In, it's an awesome movie!

With all that said I give Jump In **** out of five stars!

Mr.Poppers Penguins---Movie review

The other day we went to cinema city and we saw the movie Mr.Poppers Penguins. It was hilarious!!! We all loved it! One of the main characters was Jim Carrey. I think he is from Canada or something!

In Mr. Poppers Penguins there were a bunch of really funny penguins; Nimrod, Bitey, Captain, Stinky, Lovey and Loudy! Nimrod always walks into things, Bitey bites people a lot, Captain was the first penguin, Stinky farts a lot, Lovey hugs people and Loudy is really loud!!! Mr. Popper lived in an apartment that does not allow pets so he had to hide the penguins.

I give Mr.Poppers Penguins ****1/2 out of five stars!

Diners Drive-Ins and Dives ---Restaurant reviews

So, on our trip we went to three different Diners Drive-Ins and Dives restaurants!

First we headed south to Duluth, Minnesota to a diner called Duluth Grill. The food at the Duluth Grill was alright I didn't much enjoy my chicken fingers but I loved the fries!

The main reason we went to the Duluth Grill was for the pies! They had lots of different pies such as blueberry, lemon, strawberry, coconut and banana cream! We ordered the banana cream and the strawberry pie! They were absolutely delicious!! We all loved the pies like crazy!!!

Here's what the banana cream pie looked like!

                                                    BEFORE

                                             AFTER
Looks good doesn't it! That was my choice! Mom and Dad let Thea and I choose two pies for the four of us to share! Now here's what Thea chose, the strawberry pie!


                                       BEFORE
                                           AFTER
Now, the hard part, I give Duluth Grill ***1/2 out of five stars!


For the next place, we're staying in Duluth we're just going to another part of town to visit  a breakfast place with two names, here is Chester Creek Cafe  At Sara's Table. This restaurant was awesome! Except for the fact that the night before we went on a bike thing with four seats and the restaurant benches were wooden so they really hurt my butt! Back to the breakfast, Thea and I each had a huge pancake. I could only eat 1/2 of mine but Thea was able to demolish about 3/4 of her pancake!

                                                                    Here's my pancake!

                       These are the sirups! On the left it's maple sirup and the right is beer sirup!
Alright now I give Chester Creek/At Sarah's Table ****1/2 out of  five stars!

Now to St.Paul, Minnesota for a place called The Blue Door Pub! The Blue Door Pub is a loveable dive that serves burgers with the cheese in the inside! it was pretty good all though the cheese wasn't much to my liking and it wasn't the best burger I've tasted but it was still really good! With my burger instead of getting fries I got Tater Tots! They were delicious!!!

                                                Here's a picture to prove it!

                                   Thea, like usual, had a root beer and I just had to get a picture!

So, we had a great time and Dad bought himself a T-shirt, no surprise there!!!


I give the Blue Door Pub **** out of five stars! 



                          At two out of the three diners restaurants we went to we saw this:

Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer--- Movie review

Today we went to see, you guessed it, Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer! It was so awesome!!! I loved it! It was really funny and just awesome!

Judy's Auntie Opal comes while her parents are away. She thinks it's gonna be horrible but the summer turned out pretty good after all! Her brother Stink wants to catch Bigfoot and for most of the movie Judy thinks Bigfoot doesn't exist but when it comes to fame and thrill points she's all for it!

Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer is the perfect movie for all ages! Even the Dad's that would rather sit on their buts and watch a football game!

Here it is, I give Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer **** out of five stars!

101 Dalmations--- Movie review

Last night we watched 101 Dalmatians on TV. I've seen it before but it was just as good this time! It was really funny, Mom laughed a lot! The actors were really good and the dogs were so cute! Cruella Dev Il is still a bit creepy and there's one guy with a huge scar on his neck and he's really creepy, plus he can't talk! 

The version we saw wasn't animated which is probably better. It's definitely a family movie. It's not meant for tiny toddlers nor is it meant for just adults, it's meant for the whole family to enjoy! The movie is not too long and not too short, it's the perfect length! 

So now, the part that you might have been waiting for.... 
I give 101 Dalmatians ***1/2 on five stars!

Anne of Green Gables A New Beginning---Movie review

Today we saw a movie called Anne of Green Gables A New Beginning. I didn't like it. It was really confusing. I never knew what was happening. It was really long, it was 114 minutes. When the movie ended there were a few questions you might have had about the story that wasn't answered so it was so confusing. The movie was in the past and then the present and back and forth. There's some violence and some really sad parts. The movie was really boring.

it took place during the time before Anne went to live with those people who's names I forget. You know the people that live in Green Gables! Anyways you keep thinking that's about to happen and it never does.

I have to say I don't really recommend Anne of Green Gables a New Beginning .

I give Anne of Green Gables a New Beginning * out of five stars!

Night at the Museum:Battle of the Smithsonian--Movie review

A few weeks ago we watched the movie Night at the Museum:Battle of the Smithsonian. It was so funny! My dad laughed like crazy! We all agreed that it was even better than the first Night at the Museum! There were some of the same characters and some new characters! They're all really funny!  One of my favourite characters was Amelia Earhart she was funny!

There were these three statues that sang and they were sort of baby angels and they were played by the Jonas Brothers! They were so funny!!!

Anyways, I definitely loved it and recommend it. It might be scary for young audiences.

So, I give Night at the Museum:Battle of the Smithsonian ***** out of 5 stars!
