Death Race - 6.4 - A really cool action movie.  Not much of a plot though. Quantam of Solace - 5.9 - It was alright.  I'm not a James Bond fan though. Igor - 4.5 - The start was good but in the end it got boring. The Tale of Desperaux - 7.0 - It was really good.  It had a good story. The Day the Earth Stood Still - 1.8 - It was so boring I couldn't finish it. Bolt - 6.3 - An around average cartoon.

 I got an autograph of UK's present best shooter Jodie Meeks.  I also got Kyle Macy's.  I think Macy played in the 70's.  He made it to the NBA so I'm glad I got his autograph.  (Getting to the game wouldn't have been possible without my Uncle Rick, who is the biggest UK fan I know.)  After the game, we went straight to a Japenese Steakhouse where our whole family ate in a room all by ourselves (so all the little kids wouldn't run away).  The Steakhouse was great--I loved their food.  They put on a great show.  They cooked the food in front of us and did tricks.  We all had a great time.  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JOJO2/643552/ Fri, 9 Jan 2009 22:12:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JOJO2/643552/ 1. Wall - E - 5.4 - It was okay but about half the movie there was no talking. 2. The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - 5.7 - It was like a rollercoaster-- the start was good, the middle was okay, and the ending was good. 3. Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - 2.5 - I was really disappointed because I loved the older ones. 4. Iron Man - 6.0 - I think it should be in the top ten super hero movie list. 5. Transformers - 3.2 - The movie was intended for kids because of the popular   toys, but the movie was plagued with bad language.  I bet a lot of fans didn't get to watch this movie 6. Eagle Eye - 8.3 - One of the best thrillers ever!  It was also really fast paced. 7. The Incredible Hulk - 7.1 - They didn't try to do impossible stuff on the chase scenes; overall it was really good. 8. Get Smart - 8.0 - The funniest movie I have seen in a long time. 9. Leatherheads - 2.8 - I don't know if they were trying to make a comedy or a sports movie.  But I do know this, they failed in both catergories. 10. Babylon A.D - 6.4 - It was great at the begining but the end made the movie a six. 11. Madagascar 2 - 7.2 - It was awesome!   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JOJO2/642256/ Wed, 7 Jan 2009 00:38:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JOJO2/642256/ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JOJO2/638612/ Wed, 31 Dec 2008 21:45:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JOJO2/638612/ Here is a list of some of the new movies I watched and I'll give ratings: 1 - The Dark Knight - 7.3  -  I didn't think it would be to good but supprisingly it was one of the best Batmen movies. 2 - Scorpion King 2 - 6.0  -  It was pretty good.  Number one was better though. 3 - The Happening - 2.0  -  One of the worst movies ever.  Period! 4 - Kung Fu Panda - 7.5  -  This movie wins the best movie on this list.  You couldn't stop laughing. IMPORTANT :  Before you view any of these movies you should check the ratings.  But if you want more in depth reports, then let me recommend www.family.org (go to the "plugged in" area).   Oh here's a cool device we have.  It's called Clearplay.  If you want to watch a movie, but it has too much bad language, then you should buy the ClearPlay DVD player at the Lifeway Christian bookstore or on the internet.  It can play regular DVDs.  You can change the settings on it  if you want it to take out bad language or if you want it to skip when there's too much mushiness.  Here's the website where you can learn additional info:  www.clearplay.com.  Hope you get it!   It'll lead to a good family movie night without having to worry about bad language.                            http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JOJO2/634575/ Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:51:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JOJO2/634575/
