Top 5 Board games

Cristian J., 7th Grade

Hello, today will be telling you the top five new games made in 2018 but will soon become more popular through the beginning of this year, 2019.

Coming up in number 5 will be Connect Four SHOTS.

Connect Four Shots is the next generation from the original game, and has been introduced by “ Dude Perfect “ who had created the product forty times bigger .. literally! Bouncing balls all over the table and trying to make it in the gird is way… way… way better then putting coins through a rectangle.

Number 4 will be Clue with Classic Reveal

Clue (owned by Hasbro) has been around for a while and now has one, a new character named “DR. Orchid”, and two, a new object that replaces the black envelope which is a mirror were the suspect, weapon, and place are held. It’s a bit more expensive, I mean William Petersen said it himself “If only the who was as easy as the how.”

For number 3 shall be Monopoly Cheaters Edition.

Monopoly Cheaters Edition ( also owned by Hasbro ) does not play games as you finally have the ability to CHEAT. Monopoly CE has cards know as cheat cards where you will have to attempt to get away with challenges Get away, awarded, but get caught, get Handcuffed.

For numero dos will be…..Dos.

From the creators of UNO ( Mattel Games ) DOS is one different color, and two way more complicated from the original which is UNO. Dos is a bit similar to Uno, you can one, match colors, two match numbers, or three (Cough..Cough..#TRES..COUGH…...anyone? ) have two cards that add up to the number on the deck.

And finally for number one will be the game of Life.

The game of Llife is a simple board in which you travel spin and spend. Of course this game has already been around for a while but in this specific BOX you will receive PETS.

Adding pets to your game will be great when you travel through directions you choose that will be filled with surprises, action, and more to come.

My name is Christian J. and i will write to you next time ( GET IT) and enjoy your game,I MEAN day.

Movie Reviews

Cody P., 6th Grade

Venom was critically panned, “Venom's first standalone movie turns out to be like the comics character in all the wrong ways - chaotic, noisy, and in desperate need of a stronger attachment to Spider-Man.” - Rotten Tomato Critic Consensus. The critics gave it an average of 4.4/10. I don’t agree with the critics, it may be a big time jump and it may be barren without Spiderman, but I enjoyed it. It was a funny, PG 13 Sony/Marvel movie. It shows the life of Eddie Brock and the symbiote that latches onto him, Venom.

Avengers Infinity War was a great movie in my opinion, and I think critics agree. “Avengers: Infinity War ably juggles a dizzying array of MCU heroes in the fight against their gravest threat yet, and the result is a thrilling, emotionally resonant blockbuster that (mostly) realizes its gargantuan ambitions.” - Critics Consensus. Avengers Infinity War features most of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) characters. I was enjoyable movie to watch and I liked it.

In my opinion Ready Player One was a great movie, I think critics agree with me “Critics Consensus: Ready Player One is a sweetly nostalgic thrill ride that neatly encapsulates Spielberg's strengths while adding another solidly engrossing adventure to his filmography.” Ready Player One is a nice movie for people who want to find easter eggs. It’s filled with video game references and is overall fun to watch.

Spider-man Into the Spider-Verse was a fun, enjoyable movie for the whole family. Critics really like it as well. “Critics Consensus: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse matches bold storytelling with striking animation for a purely enjoyable adventure with heart, humor, and plenty of superhero action.” Into the Spider-Verse has a animation style that looks similar to a comic. It feels like your in a comic book. The style of the animation includes onomatopoeia, such as Thwip! And Pow!. It has the dots and streaks of lines like the comics have. Overall it was one of the best experiences I’ve had watching a movie.

Incredibles 2 is a great family/animation movie. I think the critics agree “Critics Consensus: Incredibles 2 reunites Pixar's family crime fighting team for a long-awaited follow-up that may not quite live up to the original, but comes close enough to earn its name.” Incredibles 2 follows Elastigirl trying to stop the new villain. Incredibles 2 is similar to the first, same characters. The difference is that Mr. Incredible has to stay home and monitor the children. Overall I think it is a nice movie.
