A Haunted House – Teen Movie Review
A Haunted House centers around the lives of a young couple named Malcom (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins). Life was going well, the love birds finally moved into their dream house in Los Angeles. Malcolm was so excited that he even decided to record everything.

Malcolm eventually found out that it wasn’t the house that was haunted, it was the girl.

A Haunted House is a comedy, horror spoof film, NOT for kids of any age.
The Impossible – Kids Movie Review
At first I didn’t want to see this movie, and now I can’t stop thinking about it. The Impossible centers around the lives of one family and their fight for survival during the 2004 Thailand tsuanmi. Henry (Ewan McGregor), his wife Maria (Naomi Watts), and their three sons were at a beautiful Thailand resort over Christmas vacation. The sun was shining as Maria was lounging by the pool, while Henry and the boys were playing in the water. What started out to be the perfect vacation, changed within minutes. The blender at the poolside bar stopped working, the wind began to blow, and the palm trees started to shake as a 90- foot wave came crashing over everything. The Impossible, based on a true story, is a gut-wrenching drama about a loving, compassionate family and the struggles they endured as they tried to survive the worst natural disaster in modern history.
