The Sandlot!

Have you ever thought what it is like to be the new kid on the block? Smalls discovers life can be pretty difficult. Smalls is not very athletic, and when a few of the neighborhood boys invite him to play baseball he jumps at the chance to belong. When he secretly borrows one of his new stepdad’s baseballs, one of the boys hits it over a fence. The soon discover that the ball was signed by Babe Ruth, so they try to get it back. The legend goes there was a monster and he lived in a junkyard. People took stuff from the junkyard and he ate them. Will the boys get it back, or will they be eaten by the monster?

I like this movie because I really like baseball. I liked that the boys in the movie played baseball just to play. They didn’t need grown-ups to play, they just played. This is a really great movie, and I watch it over and over!

If you like baseball and monsters I would recommend this movie. I give The Sandlot five paws.

Will You be the Next Monkey Warrior?

In Monkey Quest there are 20 levels, and, of course, the first 2 levels are the easiest levels. You try to defeat an evil monkey.

I love this game because in Monkey Quest there are many things to do, and I never get sick of it. The game is awesome because you get to create a monkey, name it, and play the game. This game has many things such as monsters, shops, and many more. There are monsters such as the bat hog, the crawler, the tiny little monsters, and dragons. If you kill a magma creature, make sure you have complete health. You pay for things with bananas. You can buy things like clothes, potions, and weapons. I love this game and I could play it forever and ever.

I think you should try this game and I give this game, and I give it 5 paws.

The Hunger Games

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to fight for your life? Well for Katniss Everdeen, a character in the Hunger Games, that’s her everyday life. It all started on the day of the reaping. The reaping is where you get your name drawn to compete in the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are no ordinary games, but a game where one boy and one girl from each district come together and compete against each other for survival. If you win you get money and a house. If you lose you die.

I like this movie because it is very adventurous. An example of this is like when Katniss goes hunting for her food in the woods, or when she shoots arrows across the sky. I also love how realistic fiction this book is. An example of this is when she hunts squirrels and trades them for bread from the baker. As I was watching it I could not take my eyes off the screen.

I give this book five paws.

Maze of Bones

                                                                                  

Ever wondered what it’s like to be part of a family that shaped human civilization? That’s the Cahill family for you. 14-year-old Amy Cahill and her 11-year-old brother Dan Cahill are a part of the Cahill family that, over thousands of years, has created the human population. When the Cahill kids’ grandmother Grace dies, the race for the 39 clues has begun in the Cahill family. Amy and Dan’s parents died in a fire and their kids have to live with their Aunt Beatrice. Because they chose to go for the hunt and have given up a million dollars, Aunt Beatrice has them wanted by Social Services.  Now the kids can’t give up on the hunt. Once you join the hunt, you can’t change your mind. The prize is eternal (never ending ) power that only one team can get to before all the others get even a hint of what you can do with it. Will they automatically lose and be eliminated, or will they win the clue hunt and have the power to rule the world? Find out by reading this beginning book of a series full of action, suspense and surprises!

I love The Maze of Bones for the adventure across the world. From Boston to Korea, from Egypt to Japan, Cahill family members will hunt for the clues. They make alliances with other teams but are from time to time double-crossed.  The 4 Cahill branches (Ekaterina, Janus, Thomas, and Lucian) fight other branches and even betray other branch members for the grand prize. There goes a Cahill legend that the original Cahill children Katherine, Jane, Tomas, and Luke fought because of their father, Gideon Cahill’s death. Each kid thought the others had ambushed their father, but none of them killed Gideon. That’s where the Madrigals come in. The ancestor of all Madrigals, Madeline Cahill, was taught by her mother (Olivia Cahill) that the only thing that now matters is bringing the family back together. Gideon had made a serum that he and 4 of his children drank. Madeline didn’t get any at all because she wasn’t born yet, so her family branch was made of unenhanced pacifists that, for centuries, have worked together to bring the family back together. The Ekaterinas are pure geniuses, Janus are artistic in many ways, Thomas are the athletic ones, and the Lucians are good at planning things. Maybe finally Madrigals can bring the fighting and crazed family back together thanks to Amy and Dan Cahill. Like I said before, I absolutely love this book. 

That is why I liked the Maze of Bones. I give this book a rating of-- wait for it-- five paws.

Hotel Transylvania

Have you ever wondered where monsters go when they just need to get away?  Well maybe you should ask someone at Hotel Transylvania.   The owner of the hotel, Dracula, has been working on a big project for 118 years. Little does he know a human is either going to save his hotel or burn it to the ground.   If you want to find out what happens then watch the movie.

 I think that this movie is hilarious.  An example of this is when the human dressed up as Franken Stein and sang in front of the hotel.  I also think that this movie is telling how parents are not ready to let their kids see the real world.  Another reason I like this movie is because it is very sad.  One example of this is in the beginning of the movie when you learn why Dracula hates fire.  Those are some examples of why I loved this movie.

I recommend this movie to all people who love fantasy. I give this movie 5 STARS!!!!

Pokemon Rocks!

Have you ever earned money or prizes by playing a game in a tournament? When I recently went to a Pokémon tournament, I came in 2^nd place and earned 10 booster packs.

 

 The basic idea is to have about 15 energy cards, 20 Pokémon cards, and 25 trainer cards before you can go out and play.  Pokémon is a game with different characters. If you have a good deck, you could win the championship. If you win the championship, other people can buy your deck signed. They can also buy your play mat. You get 3% of the money from the sale of your deck and you mat. 

This is one of the best games ever!  It’s fun! It’s easy to learn, it’s a fast game, and I like to play quick games.  When you open a booster pack you never know what you will get. This game is the best game I have ever played. 

I would recommend this game to a friend if they like fast games. I give this 5 paws.

Playing in the NFL!

Have you ever wondered what it was like to play in the super bowl? Well, in Madden 13, you can! This video game is for PlayStation, game cube, and Xbox. It allows the players to become cyber professional football athletes. You get to play in a stadium with screaming fans. If you play in the super bowl, you get to play in the new stadium!

I like Madden 13 because you can be a coach or be a player. If you’re a coach you can tell your team what to do and what play to do. You can also do a lot of things like challenge plays if you think it’s the wrong call.

If you don’t want to be a coach, you can be a player on whatever team you want. First, if you’re a player you go to practices, then you get to play in games. Next, you get to play in the playoffs. Last, you get to play in the super bowl. If you want to play in a super bowl you can’t be a coach. Only a player can play at this level.

It’s fun to be a player because you can play in a lot of games. It’s also fun to be a coach because you can make your team to win. I bet you’re wondering how? You can substitute players, or you can pick your teams play.

I would recommend it if you like sports game you should play it. I would give this game 5 paws.
