Fun Size Movie Trailer - Coming to Theaters Late October!

New Weekly Picks for Oct.1st

There's a book series called the Spider Wick Chronicles.  It's a cool book series. My favorite characters are Jared Grace and Mallory Grace,who are brother and sister. Jared has a twin brother named Simon. Simon likes animals, so he has a whole bunch of pets including mice, and a cat. They find a book in their great-great uncle Arthur's library.  The only way you can get up there is a dumbwaiter hidden in the wall.  There's a certain book in that library called the Spider Wick Chronicles, and its all about things called brownies and all sorts of things evil and good. After reading the book the kids find out the truth about what really happened to Arthur. I recommend this book for kids of all ages. You can also visit the Spider Wick site.

Written by:Madelyn Burton

Check Out Dragonball Z!

Me and my friends like Dragonball Z videos and books. We like them because they have action and adventure. My favorite character is Piccolo because he was a bad guy that turned good. My favorite villain is Cell.  He absorbs people with his tail and becomes stronger. That's why I like Dragonball Z.

You can go to the Dragonball Z website and watch videos, learn about your favorite characters, read sagas, and lots of other things!

Movie Picks for this week.
1.Pan's Labyrinth This is a Foreign movie directed by Guillermo del Toro. The film is set in 1944 fascist Spain and is about a girl who is fascinated with fairy-tales.

During the night, she meets a fairy who takes her to an old faun in the center of the labyrinth. He tells her she's a princess, but must prove her royalty by surviving three gruesome tasks. If she fails, she will never prove herself to be the the true princess and will never see her real father, the king, again. This is an interesting twist on a fairytale.
2.Blood Diamond Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a man who is haunted by his roots and has used his survival skills to become a successful diamond smuggler. When he meets Solomon his life is changes.
