Cinderella Story---Movie review

A few days ago our parents went to a 3 hour long play with their friends and we stayed home with a babysitter. We were watching T.V. and Cinderella Story was on YTV so we watched it. It was a really good movie!

A girl named Sam Montomery (played by Hillary Duff) lost her dad in a earthquake and was stuck with her mean, bossy, ugly stepped-mom Fiona and two stepped-sisters, Gabriella and Brianna! Sam's dad used to one a little old greasy diner that everyone loved! When he died, Fiona took over. It turned into an odd pink greasy diner! The waitresses all wore pink tops and poofy skirts. They all moved around on roller skates! This all meant that Fiona owned it and was the boss! Sam was forced to skate around at the diner and would have to work late or when she should be at school! For a while Sam had an e-mail exchange with a 'secret admirer' he called himself Noman or something like that. They decided they would meet in the middle of the dance floor at the homecoming dance. They did and Sam had to leave early to go to the diner and since she was wearing a mask the guy never found out who she was! Eventually he found out and a bunch of people were teasing Sam about the e-mailing stuff. Then she didn't like the Noman guy. She went to his football game she left but just as she was leaving, the guy who's name is actually Austin Ames is the captain, he saw her and went up and stopped her and then there was 5 minutes of kissing. Yuck!!!!!

It was a really good movie we all really liked it. "Ya it was awesome!" says Elmo. Thea made me say Elmo!!!

I give A Cinderella Story **** out of five stars!

I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream!

Who doesn't love ice cream? Seriously, who? There are lots of awesome places to get ice cream and I'm going to tell you some of my favourites!

My absolute favourite is BDI . It's awesome!!! I used to always get soft vanilla ice cream covered in sprinkles in a cup,but I've recently discovered a new favourite, the hot caramel sundae! It's delicious!

If you've never been hurry over (if you live in Winnipeg) before it closes for the season, because after all it is outside!

Another great place serves delicious gelato. This place is called Eva's Gelato! It's really yummy too! My favourites are the mint chocolate chip, wildberry and strawberry! The fruit flavours are usually better but nothing beats mint chocolate chip! Eva's is open year round and is a great alternative to BDI during wasps season!!! They also sell coffee but I don't know anyone that's tried it. At least I don't think I do!

Another great place to get ice cream and other treats is a place I'm sure you all know of. The amazing..... DAIRY QUEEN! My favourites at Dairy Queen are mint Oreo blizzards, Oreo blizzards and the strawberry lemonade chillers! Lemonade chillers  are basically a strawberry lemonade Slurpee but more liquidy!

Aladdin---Movie review

Today we watched Aladdin at our Grandma's house. It was alright.

At times it was kind of confusing and it was a bit over-dramatic and well not scary but like "scary wannabe". It was also sort of odd! I didn't really like Aladdin neither did Thea! We had never seen it before but we thought we'd give a shot!

I give Aladdin ** out of five stars.

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!
