The Polar Express (2004)
Where is your Christmas spirit?
How could you not love this film? It's family oriented and captivates the spirit of Christmas in a magical hour and a half of the animated movie experience of the holidays. I have never seen anything like it, the animation is absolutely stellar and the way the movie just grabs you is amazing. For all of those people who have panned this movie, all I have to say is: where is your holiday spirit? This movie isn't supposed to be realistic, that's what Christmas is all about. Forgetting about logic and get taken in by the magic of it all. Anyways, movies aren't supposed to be realistic, it's a suspension of reality, and the way it takes you along for a ride and this movie meets and exceeds my expectations.
Zoey 101: Spring Break-Up (2006)
Superficial, predictable, but expected from a show such as Zoey 101
I can't say I was surprised at this atrocity when I watched it a couple months or weeks ago (can't remember). I saw it as a two part episode of Zoey 101, because that's how they showed it here in Canada.
I was incredibly annoyed at the Makeover a Nerd thing, it's just an example of how unaccepting, unappreciating, superficial, negative, biased, and stereotypical the people in the entertainment business is and frankly I'm extremely peeved. It wasn't at all funny. A nerd is a stereotype and it makes people very offended.
Secondly, the people in Zoey 101 don't have real problems. Logan has a big house, he has a famous dad, he has everything and Zoey is rich too. They never have to deal with the things that today's tweens and teens have to do deal with such as peer pressure, and stereotype problems. Also, the actors are horrific. Jamie Lynn Spears doesn't deserve to be in a television show as successful as Zoey 101 (what is wrong with the world?), she doesn't have any talent as an actor. In fact, she's worse than Britney! The Chase and Zoey thing was incredibly predictable, I mean how could the show go on with Zoey and Chase dating? What other problems could they possibly have? Except for the fact that Chase doesn't get the girl he wants, everything is perfect! The absolute worse 48 minutes of my television watching life. Ever. 0/10 (and that's being generous)
Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County (2004)
Wasting My Life Watching People Waste Theirs
I watched a few episodes of Laguna Beach in a Laguna Beach Season 1 marathon because, being the couch potato that I am, had nothing to watch. And I can honestly say that MTV has seriously reached an all time low.
MTV is giving the wrong idea to those naive kids out there that all you have to do is go on shopping sprees and sit around and fun and drama will fall into your lap. If this was a soap opera or a drama, I would love it, but it's reality. I can't believe that people in reality sit around and bitch about stuff that no one cares about. There are more important things in life than figuring out whose going to ask to out to prom or which skanky dress looks hotter on you.
With the upcoming show "Two-a-days" (does MTV honestly think that people who are maybe less than popular in school wants to watch a TV show on cheerleaders and football players who have everything?) and Super Sweet Sixteen, it's apparent that MTV is mocking those who actually want to do something with their lives except sitting around and be completely materialistic.

My Super Sweet 16 (2005)
Critics are right about "over the top materialism"
My Super Sweet Sixteen is a show where rich soon-to-be 16 year olds get the party of their dreams. This show has been panned by critics for "over the top materialism" and I would have to agree.
I think it's one of the worst shows on MTV and there's been some pretty bad MTV shows. The show is about spoiled kids who get whatever they want, but wait-not only do they show the good parts of being a total spoiled brat, they also show so-called "drama" in planning the perfect sweet sixteen party. These kids seemed like their party is ruined if they get a performer that no one's ever heard of or if Rihanna shows up late to escort them to the party.
Not only that, but their parents seem perfectly willing to spend a ton of money on their parties. Someone on the show even said that their parents spent more on their party then on the parents wedding! It seems like this kids have no appreciation of their parents or even realize how lucky they are because they are only part of a small minority who can actually afford Sweet Sixteen parties like theirs or their parents want to spend so much money.
For a show that stresses over the top materialism and laughs in the face who are less privileged I rate this show 1/10
Click (2006)
Lighthearted movie with a great lesson
I have to admit, when I first went to see Click, I wasn't too enthusiastic about it. I mean c'mon, a guy that gets a universal remote? But I did, only because I had a couple of movie passes that expired that day. But wow, was I ever in for a shock. The jokes were average for me, and the first hour were pretty much light hearted comedy. But then, things took a spin. I have to admit, I did cry. You should have seen the look on my nine year old brother's face during that part of the movie.
In the end, it's probably not out to win an Oscar, or to move the world in some dramatic way, but it does teach you a lesson for life you'd never forget. It's nothing like any other comedy I've ever watched, and my favourite movie this year.
To the cast, director, and crew, I applaud you for a wonderful movie. Yesterday, I walked out of the movie with a different outlook on family, on life. Rarely a movie touched me like that. I know you must think, I'm kidding, but I'm not.

6Teen (2004)
Pleasant Surprise
This was one of those shows that I was less enthusiastic about watching. I have two little siblings and they both convinced me to watch it and I was like "What the heck, it can't kill me, right?" Well, it definitely exceeded my expectations. It's witty, smart, and definitely something new. One of the best shows on Canadian television since the awesomely awesome Degrassi. I watch it everyday at 7 P.M and I'll never get bored. These teens are people that most 16 year olds could certainly relate to, they have good lessons, with a funny twist. Jude by far is my favourite character, he's laid back and just doesn't care what the the world thinks.
Two thumbs WAAAAAAAAAAY up for a pleasant surprise.

Toy Story (1995)
I seen a movie quite like this one
I saw this movie was I was about 10 years old and I was captivated. This film was awesome. I watch it over and over again with my younger siblings and I enjoy it just as much as them. It's a great story and every time I watch it, it brings out the the kid in me.
Tom Hanks was amazing as Woody. Tom Hanks is one of my heroes and he never seizes to amaze me. He really brings Woody to life and he fits the role perfectly.
Toy Story has a really good, solid story line and amazing visuals, especially for 1995.
Toy Story 2 was almost as amazing as this movie, but nothing's as good as the original. I heard that they're making a Toy Story 3 set to be released in 2008. I'm hoping the theater is packed, with different generations, appreciating how Toy Story is not a only a stunning film, but also an example of the best kind of art there is. An absolutely awesome motion picture.

Zoey 101 (2005)
Worst show ever
I first watched this show hoping for a few laughs, good acting, and good plot. Sadly, I got none of those things.
First off, this show is completely unrealistic. How can someone go to a boarding school that's super hip, awesome location, and barely any rules? Plus a sushi bar. A SUSHI BAR. No school has a sushi bar. And what's up with the huge, ultra cool, ultra hip dorm rooms? This doesn't happen in boarding schools! Everyone in this show seems to be perfect. Zoey, looks perfect, has the perfect friends, never has to do homework, and is super popular. Sounds more like a villain to me! I hate how they use so many cliques in this show, Example: Dana the skater chick. She is completely ignorant and wears "edgy" clothes. The jokes are old sooooo old too! I wouldn't watch this show if I were you, it's one of the most horrible shows I have ever watched and I hope it gets canceled soon! Rating: 1/10
