My new friends Leo, Zachary, and Max introduced my friend Christopher and me to a bunch of funny YouTube videos by this guy who calls himself NigaHiga. They are hilarious. Here are a few of my favorites. You should watch them!

Movie Mayhem Week!

This week I'm going to tell you about movies I think you might want to see and let you know if you should watch them.  They are going to be Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, G-Force, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Up, Nim's Island, and The Spy Next Door.

Today I'll tell you about Nim's Island.  It's a good kid's movie about Alex Rover, who lives in her house, and Nim, who lives on an island, which is not named for us.  Nim's father is also featured.  A bunch of bad pirates come to try to take over the island.  So, Nim has to use all of her tricks to try to stop them . . . even blowing up a volcano to keep them off the island.  She also shoots lizards out of catapults.  There's an awesome seal who teaches Nim how to swim.  In return, Nim teaches the seal how to walk around on land, clap its flippers, play soccer, and a bunch of other cool moves.

Nim's Island is a good movie, if you like adventure, trickery, strategy, and that kind of stuff.  If you like the Indiana Jones movies, you'll probably like this movie, too.

Four Alien Thumbs Up

There is this really cool movie called "Aliens in the Attic."  It's about these kids fighting small aliens who are trying to take over the world.  The aliens have these chips that they can shoot into adults' necks and then control them like video games.  The kids are trying to protect their parents so they don't get shot.  While doing that, they have to do a few little cool techniques, like throwing firecrackers into the vents of the rental house to explode the aliens in them.

This movie is rated PG and I hope you like it.  It is appropriate for people who are 7 years old and up.  My parents don't let me watch PG-13 movies (can you believe that rip?!?), so this is about as good as it gets for me.

Good Reads, Redux

I recommend the Tintin graphic novels and comics. There are two main characters:  Snowy and Tintin.  Tintin also has a few friends that help him along the way, including Thompson and Thomson, Professor Calculus, and Captain Haddock.

The stories are really good because Tintin gets in a lot of trouble and has to fight people along the way.  People always try to play tricks on him, but he plays just as many tricks on them.

I really hope you enjoy the series, because it's one of my favorites.

By the way, if you're wondering why Snowy talks.  I don't know.

Ketchup Blood: Pro & Con

Faking that you're bleeding by pouring ketchup on yourself is a bad idea.  You might actually end up in the hospital and that wouldn't be good. On the other hand, you could use the ketchup on your body to dip the french fries that you buy at the drive thru on the way home from the hospital.

Not a Real Doughnut

If someone offers you a "Hertz Donut" don't accept it.  It's probably a trick and they'll hit you and say "hurts, don't it."  Even if there's a pile of doughnuts right there, don't fall for it.  A "Hertz Donut" hurts, don't it?
