The Diary of A Wimpy Kid

The Dirary of A Wimpy Kid came out in March of 2010. Gregory Heffley (Zachary Gordon) Recieved a journal from his mom one day and he decided to record the first year of middle school in it. He starts out his journal by explaining the "cheese touch." He wrote that a student named Darren touched the cheese (old, smelly, and moldly old piece of cheese) and was contaminated by it. The journal constists of Greg and his best friend Rowely Jefferson (Robert Capron). They tried out for the wrestling team and found out that wrestling just wasn't for them. From there Greg is a tree in the play Wizard of Oz. At the end of the play Greg and Rowely get chased by some teenagers they have taunted before. They got chased all the way to Greg's house and get soaked in water by his dad, thinking that Greg and Rowely were pesky teenagers. At the end of the school year Greg's efforts become popular and remain unfilled. He wants to be Class Clown in the year book and he got nothing. Rowely ended up getting Class Clown for writing a story called "Ass man."
To be honest, this movie is a very much kid movie. Some parts were funny but I just wasn't into it all that much. The kid I was babysitting seemed to enjoy it quite much though. So if you're ever babysitting and want a funny movie to watch for the kid, think of this movie and you'll get some laughs out!!!

How would you like to be Micheal Jordan acting with the looney tunes in Space Jam? Space Jam is an American live-action/animated film. Mr. Swackhammer has a theme park on "Moron Mountain" which is failing. He sends his minions the "Nerdlucks" to capture the looney tunes. A retaliation from the looney tunes comes and they want to challenge the "Nerdlucks" in a basketball game. The "Nerdlucks" find a way to go to Earth and steel NBA talent (Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Muggsy Bouges, Larry Johnson, and Shawn Bradley) for their own talent. Once they got the talent they turned into the "Monstars" who are gigantic creatures that the looney tunes are unable to beat. The looney tunes summoned Micheal Jordan down to looney land. He insists that he is no longer a basketball player untill the Monstars come in the gym and take him for nothing.
