Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

This is the story of Alexander and how he constantly has horrible days and his family seems to not care about it and their lives seem so perfect. At 12 he makes himself a birthday ice- cream sundae and wishes that his family new what it was like to have a bad day. Their day however is not just a bad day but a terrible,horrible, no good, very bad day. However theses freak things that are happening to them brings them closer together. This movie had me conflicted on one hand I thought it was funny in an outrageous way that they were having this terrible day but also I felt Alexander was an asshole to wish this upon his family. Overall the movie was an alright movie the comedy was ok it gave me a chuckle but nothing amazingly funny.

Teen Beach 2

The is the sequel to the Disney Channel original Teen Beach Movie. The twist on this movie is the characters from west side stories come to the real world and they love it but they must leave soon before they and their world are gone forever. The movie had a good story line but for me it was too peppy. so if your over nine you may be annoyed with the movie.

$chooled: The Price of College Sports

This documentary highlights the debate on whether or not student athletes should get paid. It goes through multiple interviews which highlight both sides of the argument. The documentary was well put together and accurately shows the position of both sides. However, I think it sways more towards athletes getting paid. Personally I agree athletes should get paid but not by the institutions. So Institutions give them their normal scholarships but then money from endorsements and boosters get split between athletes and the program. An athletics association of the university will then decide how to split the money at the university comprised of the athletes to split the money by sport. Anyways this is an interesting debate for all sports fan and will continue for a long time.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The hit animated TV series has come to life when the foot clan has been terrorizing the people of New York and the only ones who can stop them are the mutated turtle and their master splinter. The movie was pretty good. It had a good story line that connected pieces of the story well. The CGI was really good tooo to bring the turtles to life. Anyone who watched the animated series should definitely watch this movie.

This is the story of Alex Murphy. He is paralyzed from an explosion and Omnicorp replaces his body parts.

This captures the biblical story of Noah. It is super intense and full of drama. It also adds the characters called the watchers. I'm not sure if they were in the bible but they are great guardians by god. The movie is a great drama.

They then realize that the video is shared to the Ipads that Jay gives out to people and they look to retrieve the Ipads and get rid of the video. The movie wasn't that good.
