Muppets Most Wanted Movie Review by Ash K.




Immediately following the events of their last film, the Muppets find themselves at a loss as to what to do for their sequel. They are approached by Dominic Badguy (bad-jee), who offers to manage the group and schedule a European tour. Meanwhile, the criminal mastermind Constantine, a near-exact double for Kermit the Frog in appearance, escapes from a Siberian Gulag and joins his subordinate Badguy to begin a plot to steal the Crown Jewels of England. Once the Muppets arrive in Berlin, Badguy secures them a show at a prestigious venue. Kermit, frustrated with the troupe's ludicrous requests and Miss Piggy's insistent hints at marriage, goes for a walk at Badguy's suggestion. Constantine ambushes him and glues a fake mole onto his cheek, matching Constantine's own, then slips away; the locals mistakenly identify Kermit as the criminal, and he is arrested and sent to the Gulag. Constantine takes Kermit's place, raising the suspicions of no one except Animal, and he and Badguy steal several paintings from a museum during the show. The next morning, Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon and CIA agent Sam Eagle grudgingly team up to apprehend the culprit, whom Napoleon believes to be his nemesis, "The Lemur" - the number-two criminal in the
world. And I don't want to spoil the ending so I will just say that Kermit escapes out of the Gulag… and things happen. A kind of person that will like this is that a person that loves Action, Adventure, and Comedy.

This film is rated PG by the MPAA for some mild action.

Cast: Tina Fey as Nadya, Ty Burrell as Jean Pierre Napoleon, Ricky Gervais as Dominic Badguy, Steve Whitmire as Kermit, Eric Jacobson as Miss Piggy, Dave Goelz as Gonzo, Tom Hiddleston as Great Escapo, Danny Trejo as Himself, Ray Liotta as Big Papa, Christoph Waltz, Peter Linz as Walter, Til Schweiger as German cop, Celine Dion as Piggy Fairy Godmother, Ross Lynch, Debby Ryan, Lady Gaga, and Usher as the Wedding Usher.

Penguins of Madagascar Review

Penguins is action-packed (the genre), emotional, and full of comedy! It is rated PG and reveals the unknown part of the Penguins' lives. Although it has almost nothing to do with Madgascar 3, 2, or 1 (the previous movies), it still contains Private's cuteness, Kowalski's literalism, Skipper's spy talk, and Rico's wildness. In this movie, the Penguins ofMadagascar go on a mission to save all the Penguins stolen by Dave the evil octopus. The North Wind (an elite spy squadron including Classified (a wolf), Short Fuse (a seal), Eva (an owl), and Corporal (a polar bear) tell them to stay out of it, but the Penguins' defying nature makes them do otherwise. I recommend people who like random comedy, action, or adventure. Also, if you want to know my rating on this movie, it's 9.7 out of 10.0.

Thanks for reading

Hope Poem by: Gabrielle .M.



 Hope is like a candle,
 for some it burns bright others
 don't understand how to absorb The gentle,
 delicate light. It's a thing you can't describe more
like a feeling locked inside some people choose to use
 it in vain others choose to unlock the chains. Some can't
 find the key, that lets this magical, mischievous feeling roam
 free. They have to except the despair they are feeling, but there's
 a lot more to this special meaning. If you can't set it free, you must
 listen to me, there are multiple ways that you can find the key. It starts
 with one word the simplest of things it's called hope, now let it soar and spread
 its wings...
