I have always loved the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. I find them unbelievably funny! However, when I read this new one, I felt something was missing. Every time that I read A Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, I laugh my head off. However, this one really wasn't that funny. While these books are mostly meant to be funny, they usually have somewhat of a plot and a story behind it. This one really doesn't. I feel that it's just a bunch of random events put together that were meant to be funny, but really weren't. Oh, and don't let the book fool you. You know how it says that it's about Greg making a movie to get his mom off his back? Well it's really not. He doesn't start making the movie until page 200 or something, and there's only like 220 pages. On top of that, he's only making the movie for like 4 pages. I felt that last years "Old School" was much better in quality, and in laughs! I'm not saying that Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Double Down isn't worth reading, because if your a fan of Wimpy Kid, you'll end up reading it any way. I'm just saying that it could have been a lot better. I mean, I only laughed one time during this entire book. The others? Iv'e read them all multiple times and have laughed hundreds to thousands of times at each one! Okay, I may be exaggerating a bit, but you get my point. It's just not that funny. But you should read it anyway, and see if you like it or not.

Suicide Squad was an okay movie. It wasn't great, but wasn't horrible either. I enjoyed the characters, and their back stories. I also enjoyed the special effects, for the most part. However, DC is trying to hard to be like the MCU. Their too worried on creating a connected universe rather than focusing on the task at hand. Here's the thing, while their movies have been box office successes so far, 2 out of the 3 have received generally negative reviews while Man of Steel received mixed reviews. Now, I loved Man of Steel, I thought it was a fresh take on the modern Super Hero. So, I was excited for the sequel, but was very disappointed when it eventually came around. First of all, the film struggled trying to keep a coherent story, and was too worried on having Easter eggs for the future movies. While Wonder Woman was cool and all, she really had no other reason to be there other than so that they could introduce her for future installments. Same thing happens here. While most of the characters in this movie have a point to be there, there are some that it wouldn't matter or affect the story if they weren't. Also, the Joker. Now, I know that most people's major complaint with this movie was that Joker didn't get enough screen time. But quite frankly, I think the film would have been better if he was only in the flash backs. For example, he was important in Harly Quinn's back story, but other than that, he didn't really have a purpose. I felt, again, that he wasn't just there so that they could set up future installments involving the Joker. I felt that this was D.C.' S answer back rob Guardians of the Galaxy. For example, this film went into development right around the time of Guardian's massive success. It's the story of a group of characters that aren't heros (and aren't that well known) who get together because they have too in order to take down the notorious villain. While the two films aren't that much alike, you can tell that D.C. took inspiration from Marvel. Now, I'm not hating on D.C. Wht I'm trying to say is that D.C. shouldn't worry about competing with Marvel. They have compelling characters and story lines that can stand on there own, and also be a great universe. I mean, take the Dark Kinght trilogy for example. That was back when they weren't interested in doing a connected universe. And those were fantastic films. They really were. I'm not trying to say that D.C. never has a chance to compare to Marvel, because if they play their cards right, they could give Marvel a run for their money. So I say that if your a D.C. fan, you should watch this film. You shouldn't watch it anyway. Because really, it's not that bad. The problem is their trying to much to e like Marvel, and not like D.C. And so far, it's not really working for them.

This move was incredible! I loved every minute of it! It tells the story of Bill Cage, who is forced to join the army to fight against an alien race known as the Mimics. What they don't know is that the aliens completely slaughtered everyone and wins. However, cage successfully killed a Mimic, and it's blood disinigrated his entire body, killing him. However, it's blood causes him to relive the day every time he dies. So now, with his new power, he teams up with Rita Vrataski to take down the alien race for good. This is unlike anything I've ever seen. It was smart and oringal from beginning to end. The cast was great, especially Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. They did fantastic and both worked very well together. This movie wasn't great, and I've added it to my top 10 favorite movies of all time. Watch this movie, you'll be doing yourself a favor.

I read the entire Selection series and was seriously upset when I finished. Like the the Percy Jackson series and the Harry Potter books, I didn't want it to end. Nearly two months after I had finished the series, a friend told me that there were going to be more books! At first I wasn't sure what to think, because the series had seemed so resolved, but once I got over the initial shock, I was obsessed! I was on my toes, searching for the release date of the next two books every other day! When it finally came out, I had just spent all my money at the book fair. Luckily, somebody let me borrow the book, just the other day. I was over the moon! I immediately started it, and couldn't put it down. I finished it the next day (sadly), and can honestly say my only complaint is that the next book isn't out yet. :'( I loved reading through and meeting the children of all my favorite characters, catching up with them, and reading Maxon and America's reactions to what goes on in Eadlyn's selection. I can't wait for the fifth book, five stars all the way!

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!! In the third book of the Selection series things really heat up. Towards the start of the One two Northern Rebels, August and Georgia, come to visit Maxon and America. During the meeting, the rebels told Maxon that they could help get rid of the Southern Rebels. They also say that they would like Maxon to try and eliminate the castes. The rebels and America and Maxon get along fairly well and part ways with a new ally. Also, in the third book America finally starts to make friends with the rest of the Elite. Anyways, America soon faces yet another challenge called the Conviction. During the Conviction each of the Elite are supposed to help sentence criminals, but America doesn't see this as fair. While she thinks there should be justice, she also doesn't agree with the man she is punishing's sentence time. He was supposed to go to jail for life for stealing clothes for his daughters. Since America sees this as unjust she gives the man the super expensive earrings and bracelet Maxon gave her, and the bird necklace her dad gave her to pay for his crimes to the King. This makes the King hate her even more. A little later in this masterpiece book America and Maxon decide that they need to speak to August and Georgia again. With a little help from Aspen the couple gets to talk to the rebel leaders, and on their way of leaving they get attacked by the Southern Rebels. America gets shot and Maxon helps her escape into the streets alone. She runs into an alley way cradling her wounded arm and meets an eight named Paige. Paige stays with America until Maxon soon arrives. America then asks Maxon if Paige can come work at the palace for helping her and the Prince agrees to it. Paige was very happy to be off the streets and into a much safer place. Then, right before Christmas the book takes an extremely sad turn. (EXTREME SPOILER COMING UP!!!!!!!!!) America's father dies of a heart attack. While America travels home to mourn her Dad, Maxon sends both Celeste and Elise home to narrow the Selection down to Kriss and America. After returning to the palace she and Maxon have a very intimate night together and the Prince tells her he is going to choose her. Then when she was trying to tell Aspen that she and him are officially over Maxon catches her touching his chest. She meant the touch as a sort of push to emphasize what she is saying to him. However, Maxon thinks she is with Aspen and tells her that he will now choose Kriss. Finally, in the end the Southerners attack and Maxon gets shot in the chest protecting America. He realizes that he loves her and that he is willing to die for her. So finally after the attack ends, Maxon is okay, and proposes to her as the new King (both his Mother and Father died) . America says yes and she and Maxon were married. I loved this book and highly recommend it to 7th graders and up. Kiera Cass is an amazing author. You NEED to read the One.

Before I start I will warn you that this review CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! I recently watched the BFG and loved it! Sophie (the main character) and the BFG (the big friendly giant) were super lovable and gave a great example of unexpected friendships. This movie told a wonderful story about the BFG and Sophie who meet after Sophie sees the BFG spreading dreams in the witching hour of the night. After taking Sophie with him to Giant Country, and bringing her along to catch dreams to spread, the other 8 mean, children eating, giants realize that the BFG has a kid with him. Sophie and her giant friend then go to the Queen of England for help to get rid of the bad giants. After asking the Queen for help, the evil giants were taken to a place where they couldn't cause much trouble again. This movie may have had a few slow parts, but I still loved it. The special effects and settings were beautiful and the plot was sad, fun, and quite funny all at once. In conclusion, the BFG was a great film that I really liked. This movie is sure to be a family favorite and I recommend it to all ages.
