Along the way, each person discovers their avatar’s unique abilities while navigating through the jungle. It is certainly the wildest adventure they have ever been on, but will they be able save Jumanji and get back to their real lives?

Review

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is one of my favorite Dwayne Johnson movies. It is hilarious, and the amount of action in it makes it very exciting to watch. The cast is the most amazing set of actors ever; The video game characters did a great job of acting like actual teenagers; especially Jack Black, who perfected his role as a popular girl in high-school. Kevin Hart is the comic relief, there to provide funny jokes with his natural sense of humor. And Dwayne Johnson along with Karen Gillan are the action squad. Their fighting scenes are very entertaining, even though they aren’t too realistic.

I also loved the jungle visuals, because they made it look absolutely stunning. And the locations of some sets, like the desert scene, were very beautiful as well.

Overall, I think this movie is amazing and I highly recommend it.

Monk – TV Show – Review

Mr. Monk, Created by Andy Breckman; ‎David Hoberman

mr. monk review

Summary

Monk is a American comedy-drama detective show, portraying the life of Adrian Monk, a brilliant man. He suffers of mental disorders and phobias, and the death of his wife, Trudy Monk, haunts him even years later; It’s the only murder he hasn’t been able to solve yet, but will he ever? . . .

Review

I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to find a show with light-hearted laughter, positive messages, and role model examples.

This show is entertaining, sad, funny, and will steal your heart. It shows how people with disorders and illnesses can be brilliant as well, and with Adrian, this shines through his personality. His way of solving cases, the passion, and the way he notices little things, will have you hooked. It has witty dialogue, and the plot keeps the audience begging for more. I appreciate Monk because of the writers’ and directors’ effort to make sure that the murder mystery itself is not the main focus of every episode. Friendship is the real theme of this show; The main characters show each other respect and demonstrate what it is to be a true friend. Overall, I think Monk is one of the best, if not the best, crime shows, out there.

Spies in Disguise -Animated Movie -Review

Spies in Disguise, Directed by Nick Bruno, Troy Quane

Spies in Disguise

Summary

Spies in Disguise is a family comedy movie starring Tom Holland as Walter Beckett and Will Smith as Lance Sterling. Walter’s mother died as a hero, and ever since then, he has been trying his best to make the world a better place with his ideas and gadgets. But the world’s greatest spy, Lance, doesn’t believe in his ideas. When Walter accidentally turns him into a pigeon, the two have to work together to help each other, despite their differences.

Review

The amount of action and adventure in this movie will have you watching it in amazement. The characters are hilarious, and each of their personalities go well together. The most impressive were the two voice actors, Tom Holland, and Will Smith. Their impeccable performance and chemistry blew me away.

The amount of positive messages in this movie are also something that made me like it so much.

But sometimes, even though most of the jokes were amusing, some seemed as though they were forced. They were strained into scenes even when they weren’t needed. This might have annoyed some people, but it did still keep me entertained throughout the movie.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a hilarious, action-packed, and adventurous family movie.

No Good Nick -TV Show-Review

No Good Nick, Directed by Keetgi Kogan, David H. Steinberg

no good nick rating
(4/5) PG
no good nick tv show

No Good Nick pretends to be a distant relative to the Thompson family, and tricks them into adopting her. Jeremy is suspicious right from the start, because nothing about her seems right. He was determined to figure Nick out before she did something terrible. But she is out for revenge and won’t stop until she has made the Thompson’s life as miserable as they made hers. . .

When this show first came out, not many people believed in its success. But, watching it, proved them wrong. First of all, the plot twist, storyline, and the cliffhangers at the end of each episode, give the show a little bit of suspense, making it a real nail biter. The acting is great, and characters are portrayed well. Nick, the main character, is a street-smart, witty, and intelligent kind of girl. The show however, has a laugh track, and the humor is kind of pushed. At first, the jokes seem a little mean, but you get used to it. But following Nick’s journey with the Thompson family, and getting to see just how far she will want to go to help her dad, is the best kind of experience. I will definitely recommend this show, and will be watching it again myself soon!

Jessie -TV Show – Review

Jessie, Directed by Pamela Eells O’Connel

Jessie
(4/5) PG
jessie

Summary

Jessie is a Comedy-Drama Sitcom available on Disney Plus. It is the story of an incident that led to an unpredicted nanny for the Ross family. She was probably the best nanny they ever had; But, she only came here to fulfill her dreams of becoming a Hollywood star. Each episode is a day in the crazy lives of the Ross family, and it will have you doubled over with laughter and emotion at the same time!

Review

Jessie is the type of show that I have no problem re-watching several times. The interesting plot, humor, and drama, will keep you hooked. I also love how every episode is different, because it makes me want to continue watching; wondering what the next one will be about.

All the characters have something special about their personalities, and even though they might not always get along, the Rosses are always there for each other at the end of the day. Jessie’s personality definitely stands out because she is a strong independent woman who never gives up on her dreams, even after getting rejected multiple times. Her love for the Ross kids starts to grow, and develops into something that might be an obstacle on her path to pursuing her dream. But will Jessie choose her career or the kids?

Bunkd -TV Show – Review

Bunkd, Directed by  Pamela Eells O’Connell

bunk'd

Bunkd continues the adventures of Emma, Ravi, and Zuri. In this show, their millionaire parents send them to a summer camp. But when they get there, it is nothing like they expected; The camp director is a mean lady, and the food served there is just disgusting. All they wanted was to spend summer vacation with their parents, but now they were stuck in Camp KikiWaka. Could this be the worst summer of their lives?

Bunkd is hilarious and will leave you in fits of laughter as you watch the Ross family’s everyday life in camp KikiWaka. The first 2 seasons were amazing. You got to follow them as they learned to adapt to their weird surroundings and make new friends.

But seasons 3 and 4 were a letdown for me. The whole show is a spinoff of Jessie, and is supposed to be based on Emma, Ravi, and Zuri. However, these seasons unexplainably took away all of the main characters. The replacements were younger kids, and these kids’ acting, along with the script, ruined a great show.

Overall, this show was awesome for the first couple of seasons.

So I would recommend those seasons , because they were fun to watch and were better than the rest of the show.

Percy Jackson, The Movies

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Directed by Chris Columbus

(4/5) PG
Percy Jackson

Percy Jackson, directed by Chris Columbus is truly a thrill to watch. Although it has its similarities with the book, it is different, and engulfs you in suspense, which leaves you wondering what’s going to happen next. I really recommend it if you have an interest in Greek mythology, or if you are looking for a great movie to watch!

The Sea of Monsters, Directed By Thor Freudenthal

(5/5) PG
percy jackson

In sequel to Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, this movie directed by Thor Freudenthal is just as good; Only better. Percy meets Clarisse, the daughter of Ares, who is the God of War. Unfortunately for Percy, he became his rival, and things get worse when Thalia’s tree got poisoned and weakened the barrier. What’s more is that Kronos might come to life once again, but Clarisse had been given the quest instead. Maybe it isn’t up to Percy to save everyone this time. . .is it?

The movies are slightly different from the book; But, it was entertaining nonetheless. Some mistakes were caught in the plot as well. However, the actors’ undeniably great performance made up for that.

Hubie Halloween – Movie -Review

Hubie Halloween, Directed by Steven Brill

Hubie Halloween

Hubie Halloween is about a kind-hearted man. His name is Hubie, and he is ready to make this Halloween safe for everyone. But no one takes him seriously, and he is always underestimated. Soon, people realize that they have to turn to Hubie, but not before some tragic events take place. That’s when they realize that Hubie might be the only one that can save them this time . . .

This movie is just perfect for the October month, but feel free to watch it anytime! It’s another Adam Sandler movie, one that will creep you out but make you double-over with laughter too. I enjoyed watching this movie very much because it made me laugh a lot – and not many movies can do that. There were a few bits of dry comedy here and there though.

I loved how the cast included a lot of great actors and actresses; ones that most people grew up watching and are very familiar with, such as Adam Sandler, Peyton List, Noah Schnapp, Karan Brar, and more!

One great addition to the movie was the multiple-gadget thermos, because it set off Hubie’s personality very well.

Overall, this was an amazing movie. I recommend it to people of an age older than 12, because of language and mild actions.
