Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days

     In this third Diary movie Greg is trying to have a fun summer vacation and hang with Holly Hills. But with Greg's family nothing is normal. With civil war reenactments and trips to the country club and camping trips it's anything but normal and as you can suspect with this movie it's fiasco after fiasco, but in the end it comes together and makes for a good kids movie. I think this movie can be quite predictable and actually really funny. Although sometimes I did wish that that something would go right. I recommend this to little kids at ages 7+. Rated PG for some rude humor. 1 hour and 34 minutes. Starring Zachery Gorden, Robert Capron, Devon Bostick, Steve Zahn, Peyton List, and Rachael Harris. Grade B-.

The Dark Knight Rises

   In this 3rd batman Bruce Wayne has hung up his cape and taken the fall for Two Face's crimes from the second Dark Knight film. With new criminal Bane on the loose Bruce Wayne must put the cape back on and fight for what may remain of Gotham. I think this batman be a bit slow at certain times but it has a lot of potential and new toys. This movie is great, but see the first two. I recommend this movie. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language. 2 hours and 45 minutes. Starring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Micheal Caine, and Gary Oldman. Grade B.

Captain America is about a man named Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) who wants to serve in World War II, but couldn't get in so a Doctor (Stanley Tucci) does an experiment on him that turns him into the world's first Super Soldier and he takes the name Captain America.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is about Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliff) who sets off with his friends(Rupert Grint, Emma Watson) to destroy Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). I think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is a fantastic movie that at parts was funny and sometimes a little dark, it was all great. I know that Harry Potter 7 Part 2 is my favorite Harry movie. At the end everyone was cheering so loudly that you couldn't hear the theme song. I highly recommend this movie. PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images. 2 hours 10 minutes. Starring Daniel Radcliff, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman. Directed by David Yates. Grade A.
