Kung Fu Panda 2

    The lovable Po is back on a new action packed, comedic adventure.  Today I got to see Kung Fu Panda 2 and it was very funny. It had an action packed story line pulled together with some funny parts for an amazing movie the family would love. If you go to the theatre expecting a kids movie you will be disappointed it is amazing for all ages. It gave you an understanding on why Po is so different. It gives you the beginning of the story you never knew. I believe it really brought out the main characters and showed more from their past. It is a lovable sequel that will probably become a trilogy. It was definitely a success, but don't take my word for it check out what people said at http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1664708/kung-fu-panda-2-reviews.jhtml.

Oh My the Pirates got Problems!

    Today is Friday the 20th. Besides that today is the day that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides comes out in 3D and IMAX. I know some people that are very excited to see it but before you see it you should know some problems they overcame while filming this movie.

    First of all, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom didn't want to be in Pirates 4 because they felt that their characters were exhausted with their adventures. The writers had to write the script without them causing the writers to create new characters like the first mate played by Penelope Cruz.  Another big problem is that Penelope Cruz became pregnant during the filming. They had to make a different corset for her that was made of elastic instead of the buttons it had originally. It became difficult to film. They would have to film her from different angles not showing her baby bump. They even used her sister in a few scenes.

    These problems have been solved and I am extremely excited to see how they fixed these problems. I especially want to see if I can tell the difference between Penelope Cruz and her sister. Hopefully this film goes beyond the others; giving the Pirates ending a nice bang.

O Mothers

Mothers Day is coming. It is a day for cards and kisses, chocolate and hugs. The hardest thing in the world is to get moms something for Mother’s Day. You feel bad just giving her a note but you are as broke as a hobo so you can’t but her something so you look through the house for something. Hopefully we can both learn something about what to do for Mother’s Day.

One thing you can do is make a "What’s Happening Now" list. It is a list you make of what happened this year so she can remember this mother’s day and not forget what has happened or what she has achieved. You can put either family events like uncle Ben turned 52 or you can say a news event like the royal wedding. It helps to look back at the past and remember the happiness.

If your mom likes flowers but you don’t have the money to buy a bouquet then you could simply make flowers. You need tissue paper that is preferably her favorite color. You also need a nice tissue paper that can be used to wrap around the flowers for the wrapper. You need to simply cut out squares of the colored tissue paper and roll them up so they look like buds. The tighter you roll them the more they look like buds. If you want to make flowers just don’t roll it tightly. Attach green rolled up paper as stems to the flowers and wrap the wrapper around it for the perfect bouquet.

            I know the bouquet works out rather nice. It is a creative way that always makes moms smile. Plus, they do not die so you can always remember them. I am excited to see how the list works out. It is a very nice way to remember the laughter and tears of the year. I hope these ideas help you give your mom a nice gift that she will always remember, even if you are broke like me.

Dizzy "I'll Be Back".

The Dizzy Peacock as you know it or Dizzy has been shut down. As you might not know it has a new sign on the side of the building that says Dizzy Burgers. In my opinion it is rather dumb that it can still be called Dizzy if it reopens. A tourist might ask "Where is Dizzy Burger?" but then a Palmetto native would say, "No but I know where Dizzy Peacock is." They would say that because they are the same thing according to people from Palmetto. I definitely think that if they want to reopen they should name it something different. I know a lot of Palmetto High School students went to dizzy after school to get a sandwich or a drink. They asked each other if they wanted to go to Dizzy not if they wanted to go to Dizzy Peacock. It is going to be the same thing. They will probably have the same financial problems as Dizzy Peacock had because people will treat it like Dizzy not like some new store called Dizzy Burgers.

The Death of a Bad Guy.

            Osama bin Laden is dead. If you have not heard about his death you live in a cave in Antarctica. It was yesterday afternoon that President Obama announced Osama had been shot in a firefight with the USA Navy. He was buried in the ocean because no country wanted to bury him. It was believed that Osama was hiding in a cave but it turns out that he was living in a mansion with tons of security next to the Pakistan military academy. The house also didn't have any phone lines or Internet which would make me wonder even more who was living there. 

Many people thank the president for killing him but I think the Navy Seals that were out there fighting and risking there lives. They deserve more thanks then President Obama does. Even CIA director Leon Panetta was more involved then President Obama. She was directly in charge of the military team during the operation. I think the USA should celebrate for know but remember there are still more bad guys out there that are really mad that Osama bin Laden is dead.
