Movie Review: The Lorax

The Lorax

Oh. My. Gosh. This was one of the best movies I've ever seen!

It's a story about a boy named Ted. He has a crush on a girl named Audrey. When he finds out that her dream is to see a real living tree, he sets out on an 'adventure' to find a tree. His energetic grandma tells him that he should see the Once-Ler, an old man who lives outside of their town made from plastic. The Once-Ler tells him parts of the story of trees, one part everyday. In the end of the story, the Once-Ler gives Ted the last Truffula Tree seed, and tells him to plant it. There is some conflict with the greedy town zillionaire, Mark O'Hare. He and his bodyguards try to stop Ted, but in the end Ted has all of the townspeople and the two bodyguards on his side. The trees grow again and the Lorax comes back to see the Once-Ler, who has trees growing in his yard.

This movie is definitely two thumbs up, and a 4.5 star rating!

          

 

   

The Wizard of Oz, Book vs. Movie

Dear Readers,
I have another book vs. movie post, and this one is about the Wizard of Oz. I recently finshed the book, and I noticed a lot of changes from the movie. Here is a list of things. I won't list all of them because I think that you should read the book and I don't want to spoil it!

1. It's not red slippers, it's silver slippers!
2. The original Wizard of Oz describes a different appearance for Dorothy, the Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodsman.
3. They see the Wizard one at a time.

I think that 3 differences is enough, especially as they are the strongest, at least I thought! I hope that you read the Wizard of Oz!

Movie Reviews

Movie Review Number One:

Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer

THIS movie is really funny and made me laugh more than two times. Judy makes a plan to have the best summer ever with her friends. But two of her best friends go away, leaving her to do the plan with her third friend, and her Aunt Opal. I recommend seeing this movie. 

Movie Review Number Two:

Rio

RIO is a great movie for families. It's about a bird who is taken from the jungle, abandoned in Minnesota during winter. A little girl finds him and promises to take care of him. She names him Blu. Then, when they are grown up, a man finds Blu and wants to bring him to a special place where he wants Blu to mate with a female, Jewel, to save their species. The movie brings on a crazy journey, and it is up to Jewel and Blu to decide their fate! I recommend seeing this movie also!
