A Cinderella Story by Jordan Marshall

If you have ever seen the movie, Another Cinderella story, you will know that it is based off of the Disney movie, Cinderella. There are two of the redone Cinderella movies. One of them stars Hillary Duff and one stars Selena Gomez. They both have somewhat the same plot but more modern twists. 

Both stories include the evil step sisters that the main character gets stuff with when her father dies. The step mother is evil to her and makes her do all of the dirty chores.  She has a very rough high school and everyone gives her a hard time when she falls in love with the most popular guy.They are all really good movies and the directors did a very good job of basing it on the original film.

The Avengers by Noah Harrison

By now most people have seen the action movie The Avengers. It is about the group of super heroes that team together to help defend Earth from the invading forces of Loki from Thor’s home-planet. Loki is Thor’s brother who becomes power hungry and wants to take over Earth. Thor defeated Loki once before, but now he needs help from the team of The Avengers on Earth.

The team is made up of Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk, Hawkeye, Thor, and Black Widow. They all must join forces to defeat Loki and his army. They do not get along at first but come together in the end to get victory. When they unite with their powers, they are unstoppable. Go Avengers and I hope they make a sequel to this awesome movie.

Movie Review by Ben Johnston

The Avengers is a good movie. The only problem is I feel like a nerd when watching this movie. This movie has a lot of fictional Hero’s. Iron man, Captan america and the rest of the Avengers fight off a alien force that is so powerful it takes all of them to save the day. 

This movie is a bit nerdy but, fun to watch. I give this movie 7 out of 10. Although it lacked a story behind how they got together in the first place. This movie is a must see     

if your in to super hero movies.

“The House At The End of The Street” was not as scary as i thought it was going to be. It was more of things jumping out at you kind of scary. I went and saw it with my friend this past Saturday. It was a pretty packed movie. I normally don’t watch scary movies but this one was a good one. It has a very big twist to the story. 

I think the trailer makes it look more scary then what it is. It made be be on the edge of my seat for some of it. Its a action movie and has a lot going on during the movie. It is not a slow action movie once it gets to the point and start to figure everything out it gets really good.

Movies by Manning Pendergrass

The movie that will be discussed in this article is “Courageous.” It was an emotional movie. There was moments where you wanted to cry, laugh, and other moments where you were nervous for the characters. The movie was very entertaining. It was a very spiritual movie as well.

My favorite scene is the Snake King scene. The main characters had plans to go to lunch, when he got called to take a person to jail. The main characters best friend is in the back seat and he is to pretend that he is a leader of a deadly gang, “The Snake Kings.” It was very funny!

"The Expendables 2" by Ian Romine

The Expendables 2 has just hit theaters and it has lived up to its expectations. This movie has all the characters you would want to see in an action movie. Including, Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenager, and Sylvester Stallone.

This movie had a great plot line. It was full of twists and turns of 

Matthew Huntley Dark Knight

The Dark Knight Rises is the movie I chose for my review.  The Dark Knight Rises is a long movie it is 164 minutes long. Throughout the trilogy he has a different enemy’s especially in this movie. The thing is The Joker is definitely not Bane, Bane is a much stronger and more dangerous enemy. The Batman is pretty much gone in Gotham City as he is aging.

As Bain’s army takes over and rules the city Batman decides to come back out of  hiding for justice. Bain has a bomb he is transporting around in different trucks it will go off no matter what. Bain does not know that it will go off whenever but Batman does so he stops it. Batman saves Gotham City from Bain and defeats him by carrying the bomb out far away over the ocean from Gotham.  But when they found the machine that Batman flew off in it said it was on auto pilot. So is Batman still alive?    

By Noah Williams

I am doing my movie article on Finding Nemo. This movie is an american classic it really brings out why we are americans. It is a real feeling jerker it can make you sad or happy. Depending on where you grew up. Like if you grew up in the hood you probably wouldn’t like it but if your a city boy like Trammell or Josh you will like it.

It really makes you feel like what really happens in the ocean. If my pet goldfish got lost you better bet i would be out there looking for him. I wouldn’t let him go for anything. My goldfish means the world to me. I could see why he would chase nemo so far, because I would to. It makes me feel happy that there other people out there that care about fish. I wish everyone was like that if so we would have a lot better economy. I hope one day a fish could run our country because it is better than what we have now.

Peter Pan By: Reagan Waldron

I’m going to do a movie review on Peter Pan. This movie was one of my favorite movies when I was little. It a story about a girl named Wendy and her two brothers John and Michael meet him and go to Neverland. Wendy had told her brothers about this place and claimed to have been seeing a shadow lately. One night he shows up and Wendy and her brothers meet him and then they leave.

When they get there, the first thing they encounter is Captain Hook trying to get Peter Pan. The story continues with Tinker Bell getting jealous which ultimately leads to Captain Hook almost killing Peter Pan. In the end they all come together and take Wendy, John, and Michael home. It is a good story with a good main idea and has a moral value in my opinion. The lesson I think is that we all have to grow up one day, no matter how much we want to stay a kid.

cody littlejohn- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Strangers Tide

Pirates of the Caribbean series is one of my favorite series. It is hard to decide which movie in the series is the best. I seen them all so many times and I like them all. I was very impressed by there last movie “ On Strangers tides” did live up too the other movies. It is so hard to make a seres cause you have to make the new movies better than the one before. 

I think that “On Strangers Tide”  was just as thrilling, mysterious, funny and scary as the other movies. I do not recall anything special about this one. It was still a great movie tho. Johnny Depp did a great job in the movie, he defiantly fits the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. One of my favorite seen from the series is when Jack was running and panicking away for the Indians in the Second movie.

Finding Nemo By: Olivia Knott

    Finding Nemo was one of the best family films about 10 years ago. When it came out everyone talked about it. About three years after it came out disney bought pixar animated films and that’s when it became really popular. In a week or so, it’s coming out in 3D and I think it will be a big hit again! It is a great movie for little kids, and it’s also my favorite movie. 

This movie is about two clownfish who just bought a house in the middle of the reef and it gets attacked by a barracuda. As the clownfish Coral and her husband Marlin come face to face with this evil fish, Coral is rushing and swimming down to save her eggs when the fish eats her along with her babies. After the attack, Marlin finds one egg and names him Nemo. Years after Nemo starts school, he gets kidnapped by divers. Marlin sets out on an adventure and meets a lot of friends along the way to find his son!

Batman By: Baylor Cohu

When I first saw this movie I was at the beach in Florida and it was the best thing that happened that week. I walked into that movie just a boy at the beach, but I left a man with a dream to be a superhero. That pretty much describes how good the movie was. 

It starts out as batman being a rich business man in hiding while Bane ( the bad guy) is out trying to cause disruption in the world. Eventually Bruce Wayne realizes that not only his city, but the entire country is depending on a hero to arise and save them from the terrible things that are yet to come. If you want to know more about this incredible movie then you will just have to go and watch it and find out for yourself.

Movie Review of Big Trouble in Little China by Evan Fausz

Well I’m reviewing the movie called “Big Trouble in Little China.” It is an old film ,but I just saw it recently. It is the story of a man named Jack Burton, a truck driver, who gets swept into a mess regarding ancient evil chinese sorcerer Lo Pan. He must save his friends fiancee and he must take on Lo Pans three immortal warriors. Lo pan needs to marry a woman with green eyes to get his physical form back. He also has to get back his stolen truck.

The movie had a commercial failure. Grossing much less then expected, it was called a failure, but once it went to dvd it got a much better reception then before. I thought for the time it came out the effects were ok. The acting in the film I thought to be good, but others may have different opinions then me. The story to me was interesting, but could use some work. Overall I would recommend this to someone who was bored but not to someone who is really into movies.

"The Hunger Games" By: Maggie Crabb

The Hunger Games is a movie about a girl named Katniss, who volunteers to take her sisters place in a very dangerous game. This game is called the hunger games. The hunger games is a game where they take a boy and girl from each of the twelve districts and train them to fight. They can each use their own talents to fight. At the end of this training, they stick them in an arena and they are forced to fight and kill each other. The last person alive wins and gets to go home to their district. While in this arena, Katniss and the boy from her district start to fall in love. But there can only be one winner...

The director of this movie is Gary Ross. There is also a book series. If you have not seen this movie, I really suggest that you watch it. It is an awesome movie!

Avengers By: Malik Miller

THE AVENGERS

The release of the “Avengers” was historic. The Avengers will definitely go down as one of the greatest hero movies of all time. Putting heroes such as the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and  Hawkeye certainly made this a “must-see” movie. The Avengers lived up to and passed its hype as the best heroic movie of the year. But, it wasn’t your normal typical hero story. Marvel through a twist into the story. Some of the “heroes” weren’t exactly what you would consider a hero.

With so many different egos, how can you possibly make a team like that work? WEll, they were like the Dream Team of superheroes.

You’ll be surprised how heroes will set their differences aside to save the universe. If you haven’t seen The Avengers yet the you need to by it on DVD. It releases on september 25 in stores. Rumors are that their will be a sequel to the movie, and I hope there will be! It will be just as, if not better, than this Avenger movie.

Remember The Titans By: AJ Ikard

Remember The Titans

By: A.J. Ikard

Remember the Titans is about segregation. There is a white school that is now segregating with black people. Everybody is mad and frustrated about this happening. One day while the Titans were practicing, there was a riot and they ran to help out but they got into trouble for doing this. The black and white football team set out for a camp for football.

While they are there they have to learn about themselves and to get along. They don’t like each other while they are at the camp. The coach makes them learn some things about each other. Even though they were mean to each other at camp and did not know what to do about each other, they turned out to be the best football team and go on to win the Championship!

Where The Red Fern Grows By:Tiffany Von Tungeln

    Where The Red Fern Grows is a great family tear jerker. Directed by Norman Tokar, and written by Wilson Rawls, this story will surely bring you to tears. It is about a young boy who wanted two coon hound dogs to hunt with, and he worked so hard to save up a lot of money. Before he knew it, he could afford two puppies, which he named them Dan and Anne. They were trained to hunt for raccoons with him in the forrest, and soon they were catching every coon in the forest. The boy and both dogs grew very close until there was a tragedy one night while they were out.

    In my opinion this was a very good movie, but it could have been better. For its day and age, it was one of the saddest, and greatest movie of its time. I wish the quality would have been a little bit better. It would have enhanced the film and the way it affected you. For this reason, there was a remake in 2003. You should see it!

Facing the Giants By Preslee Lones

Grant Taylor: “I want God to bless this team so much people will talk about what He did. But it means we gotta give Him our best in every area. And if we win, we praise Him. And if we lose, we praise Him. Either way, we honor Him with our actions and our attitudes. So I'm askin' you... What are you living for? I resolve to give God everything I've got, then I'll leave the results up to Him. I want to know if you'll join me.”

Facing the Giants is about a football coach, Grant Taylor, who doesn’t have the best luck with winning games. He does not play for God, but he loves the Lord, and his team is too lazy to step up. But when it comes close to him losing his job, he sees something's got to change. Grant Taylor sees that he can’t do it without God. Once they turn over to God, things start happening for the the team on and off the field.

I would tell anyone to watch this movie! It is great for people who love sports, playing or just watching because we lose sight of what really matters sometimes. My whole family loved this movie! If you have doubts, this movie can help you move on from them. It is such an up lifting movie!

I used to have Simba and Scar action figures to play with. I always had Simba and Nalla stuffed animals! All in all I absolutely love "The Lion King." It is my m favorite movie. I also reccomend it to you

Brave by: Cassie Naff

Do you ever feel like your parents don't understand you? That's the way Merida feels in the movie "Brave". She is a princess in Scotland who loves to ride horses and shoot arrows with her bow. Her mother doesn't think this is proper behavior for a princess and decides it's time for her to get married. Of course Merida hates this idea. When the three guys chosen to be her husband have an archery contest. Merida embarrasses her mother and causes a huge fight between them. Merida runs away and meets a witch. When Merida asks for a spell to change her mother, things go really really wrong.

I liked Merida and her little triplet brothers were hilarious. The movie had funny scenes, but it also made you think about how mothers and teenage daughters get along. It showed that sometimes we just don't hear what the other person is trying to say to us. This was probably the first Disney movie that didn't have an evil step-mother to torture the princess. That made it feel a little more realistic, even if there were witches and magic spells and wisps.
