The Hunger Games Review By: Jillian Kreifels and Alan Love

   
                                    The Hunger Games
                    Review
                                                  
                                     


         I recently went to the movie theaters to see the movie everybody is talking about, "The Hunger Games". This movie is about a survival game show that brings two kids 12-18 from each district (district 1-12) and they pick the kids randomly, like a raffle, to compete for there lives. They have to train a long time and then they  go to the arena, in which only one person survives and everyone else will die. It was called the hunger games because they need to hunt for their own food. This movie has it all: action, romance, violence, and suspense. This movie is based off "The Hunger games" (the book), so it had a lot of big shoes to fill because the books were really good. I think they did a great job! There were a lot of messages in this movie and I think everyone can relate to at least one. I would rate this PG-13 movie 9 out of 10 stars, because I don't think this movie was as good as the books, but I do think people should see this movie!! Once you've seen the movie, then you should comment and tell me what you think!!!

Let's kick this off with the I pod 4th generation. The 4th generation of the I pod and now it is showing big 2011 changes. The I pod's changes were; thinned shape, 640 to 960 mega pixels resolution video. Also the screen is 3.5 inches diagonally. The storage sizes go to 8, 32, and 64 Giga bytes.

Although Charger accessories are sold separately, making you spend a couple of dollars so it can not be that bad. Custom engraving is available for online purchases. Lot's of accessories for the I pod available in Apple stores, making your Ipod very customizable.

Now the Iphone 4S is kind of similar of course here with the scoop. So the screen is the exact same size as the Ipod, with a rectangle shaped body and the same again with 640 to 960 mega pixels resolution. Storage sizes go to 8, 16 and 64 Giga bytes.

The Blind Side Review By: Jillian Kreifels

     
    
The Blind Side
Review
       I recently watched the movie "The Blind Side", and it touched my heart. This is a true story about a boy named Michael Oher, who is on the streets, and Leigh Ann Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) opens up her home for him. This is a story about a boy that never had anything in his life and became an amazing football star all because one family opened their home and their hearts for him. I really have nothing bad to say about this PG-13 movie. I would give it 10 out of 10 stars. I think it’s amazing that a family that just was being kind out of the goodness of their hearts became an amazing story. They had great actors on this movie and the movie was funny!! I would recommend anyone to watch this movie if they want comedy, sports, and a heartwarming film!!!

Top 10 Action Movies By: Ricardo Dime & Alan Love

Top 10 Action Movies.
By: Ricardo Dime
Alan Love

Hi! It's me again here with a Top 10 Must See Action Movies! So if you want to go see a movie with action, go look at this list!

Number 10 on the list will be Spider Man. PG-13
It had a good story line, well plotted suspense. The plot gets boring too much emotional scenes and some scenes are inappropriate for children. Rating 6.9

Number 9 on the list is The Terminator. R
Good action and suspense from former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also had good plots and transitions through scenes. Lot's of blood and gore and too much violence. Rating 7.6

Number 8 on the list is WANTED. R
Wanted was a good action movie about a wimpy worker who finds out that his father was a professional assassin. And he is to share his dead father's superhuman killing abilities. Good action movie, but too much violence and blood and gore. Rating 8.2

Number 7 on the list is Star Wars Return of the Jedi. PG-13
Star Wars was the hit of the 1970's. The story is about a kid named Luke Skywalker, son of Anakin Skywalker, and there is an inter galactic war against the Sith and the Rebels. Cheesy effects and sound quality. Rating 8.5

Number 6 on the list is Lara Croft Tomb Raider. PG-13
Tomb Raider is basically like Indiana Jones except the adventurer is a woman. Good cast, plot, and suspense. The bad thing about this movie is it get caught in the action then goes to an emotional scene and you can get confused through out the transitions.

Number 5 on the list is Fast and the Furious 1. PG-13
The Fast and the Furious was about street racers in L.A. and the Brian O'Conner gets involved in one of the best street racers, Dominic Torreto. Good cast, and action. There are scenes not appropriate for children, but overall awesome movie. Rating 8.9

Number 4 on the list is Mission Impossible. PG-13
The Mission Impossible crew is back with an almost impossible mission with awesome gear and a new concept car from Bmw which is the Bmw I8. The movie was good but there are sexual situations, which doesn't make this kid friendly movie. Rating 9.3

Number 3 one the list is Inception. Pg-13
Inception is a movie about people dreaming and some how gets in sticky situations. The movie had great scenes, camera angles, and a good cast. The only bad thing about this movie is that in the end you can't tell if  the movie was a dream or reality. Rating 9.4

Number 2 on the list is Fast Five. PG-13
Fast and the Furious series kicks off with a new movie but this time Brian and Dom are now stealing from a rich guy in Rio with a little help with their friends in their past. The movie has a great cast, great camera angles, awesome effects, and good background music by Brian Tyler. The only bad thing about this is in the end you get confused because they say Letty Ortiz has stolen a military convoy but she is dead because in the last movie Letty died, so it leaves you with a question mark while leaving the movie theatre. Rating 9.5

Number 1 on the list is 12 Rounds. PG-13
12 Rounds  is basically about a detective and his wife gets kidnapped by his past foe Miles and now Miles is putting the detective in 12 Rounds which is there are 12 Rounds and if he makes it past 12 Rounds he gets his wife back. The movie has a great cast and great action scenes, there is nothing anything bad to say about this movie and that's why it deserves the Number 1 Spot.

Thanks for reading and enjoy these movies!

Midnight Club LA Complete Edition Review

Gaming Review
Midnight Club Los Angeles
Complete Edition Review
By: Ricardo Dime

                Midnight Los Angeles, by Rock star games, is continuing the Midnight Club Racing series! In this current edition on Midnight Club in Los Angeles, with your unnamed character, your goal is to be L.A.’s "Top Street Racer". Of course there are the police trying to stop you from street racing by hot pursuits, and ticketing. The overall taste for game is good, because the cars are like real cars. There are lots of varieties of design and you can also wreck your car. There are different kinds of races and opponents, and there are even goals to get you farther in the game.  The only bad thing about this game is that it will get boring when you finish the game, and when you beat the game, you’re too fast for the cops to get a bumper to bumper chase. There is Midnight Club L.A. Remix and Complete Edition, there are differences between these two.
L.A. Remix has an extra story line after you complete the L.A. career and then you get invited to Midnight Club Tokyo. Midnight Club Tokyo has been repeated because it has appeared on Midnight Club 3 'DUB' Edition and 'DUB' Edition Remix. The game also features a online multi-player and you get to share your customized vehicles to every other Midnight Club Racer all through the world.

Midnight Club Los Angeles will be out October 20, 2008 for the Ps3, Ps2, Xbox, PSP, Wii, and PC, and released on October 20,2008
Full overview and snapshots of the game is on; http://www.rockstargames.com/midnightclubLA/

Footloose By: Jillian Kreifels





                                                             Footloose

 This week I will be reviewing…… Footloose!!! This weekend I watched the new Footloose. The concept is that teenagers have a voice and can make a difference and be heard. Also, there is a lot of dancing that is very intense and interesting to watch. I enjoyed the dancing and liked how they wanted to bring the old Footloose to a new generation, but I think it’s hard to beat the first one with Kevin Bacon. They did a great job so that if you haven't seen the 1984 Footloose you will still get the great story line. I would rate this PG-13 movie 3.5 out of 5 stars. In all it was a pretty good movie and people should take their time to watch it!!!

Subway review By: Jillian Kreifels, Ricardo Dime, & Alan Love




Subway
                                                         
        Hello readers! Today we are going to review… Subway! Well Subway is a clean restaurant and they have good food but… their employees are rude. The reason why I think Subway employees are rude is because; the Subway employees are very gloomy or they just don’t care about their job they are just there because they are forced to do this job, and sometimes they get mad at customers for no apparent reason. On a good note, they have good food choices and lots of fresh products. Also, there food is very healthy and you get to make your sandwich any way you want. It’s a good food choice because you get your food fast and it’s easy to save it and eat it later. Subway’s motto is true like… Subway Eat Fresh!
