Tangled Reviewed By Madison


This movie is suitable for all ages.  Parental guidance is recommended for younger viewers.

Tangled is set in a large tower in the middle of nowhere, as many Rapunzel stories are.

Tangled is another version of Rapunzel.  In this movie, Rapunzel is a princess born with magical hair that comes from a drop of sun.  While her parents were sleeping she got taken from her home, and taken to a rather strange looking tower.  So every year on Rapunzels birthday, her parents send a gift in the dark of the night hoping she will find her way home.  One day many years later, a mysterious man appears from out of the blue, not having much of a plan for this girl, but strangly  ending up in a heap of trouble, adventure, and everything he wanted.

This movie comes with the stunnig voices of Zachary levi as Flynn Rider,  Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, and Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel.

I chose Rapunzel because I think she is a fun character with a bubbly personality, who always seems to find something to do in her tower.

I give this movie a 10/10 and I recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it, because it is a funny, adventurous, movie with a twist, from the old Rapunzel we know and love.

Ta Ta for now

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief reviewed by Conor


The suitable age for this book is 10 years old and also for mature teens.

This story is based in Manhattan, New York.
 A young 9 year old boy named Percy has just turned 10 and now he is in grave danger.  A boring field trip turns into a theatrical actions of mayhem.  His maths teacher,Mrs Dodds transforms into a fanged bat-like creature slashing to kill Percy. Then, His  Mythology teacher removes his ball point pen which changes into a sword which Percy pulverized the beast.  The next day, Percy gets a letter for a stay at Half Blood Hill.  Percy borrows his Step Dads car and drives to his destination.  On the way, In a flash of light the car flips from an enormous beast outside.  His friend Grover, a strange looking boy with knobbly knees pulls off his pants and underneath was the last think he wanted to see---two hairy looking goat legs.  He is a satyr.  Percy arrives at Half Blood Hill a place for kids who are children of gods and Percy is son of Poisoden.  He meets a daughter of Athena called Annabeth and Luke son of Hermes.  The camp director is a centaur called Chiron, son of evil father of all the gods.  Chiron thinks Percy has stolen the Lightning Bolt of Zeus, god of lightning and king of gods.  Percy is sent on a mission to retrieve the bolt before the Winter Solstice.  Percy's friend Luke is not what he thinks he is.

My favorite character is Percy.  He is funny and has a good sense of humour. his friends like Grover is a good dancer and likes drinking coffee.  Annabeth is courageous at math problems and loves learning something new.

This books rating is 10/10 for fantastic humour and amazing story writing for all ages from 10 to the oldest to the old. It has cool monsters and crazy gods.  This book is turned into a movie that is okay, but the books are better.

I hope you enjoyed my story!!!!
