Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)

Troll leader
You probably haven't seen this movie, but it's called Spiderwick Chronicles.

It's about a  person who makes this book that trolls want, but one day he gets drifted off by magical creatures and a boy, his mom, his sister and his brother move in the house. But they don't know about the book so they await the dangers of the magical book.

There are a lot of fantasy creatures like trolls, griffins, flying flowers, magical sprites and other amazing creatures. The end is happy because the girl finds her dad, who was in a magical land and has not aged. But this time she goes with him to the magical land.

I have seen this movie two times--at the movie theater and at my grandma's house because I got it for Easter two years ago. I'm in the middle of reading the book series, but my sister has already read the whole entire book series. I think you would like this movie.

Life of Pi (2012)

Pi and Robert Parker
I went to go see Life of Pi in the movies. It is a sad and heart-warming movie about a guy who gets stuck on a boat with a bunch of animals.

Life of Pi has a lot of Academy Awards. I think it is my favorite movie. I'm not trying to give anything away, but in one of the scenes his brother and parents die. I probably didn't give it away because you've probably already seen the movie.

I don't think it's based on a real story because that would be crazy. There is no other movie like this one, I am not surprised.

My favorite part is when he gets to that Venus flytrap island and finds the human tooth. It made me feel sad and I had this tingly feeling like I was going to cry.

I personally think this movie is awesome and that you should see it. I hate when the monkey and the zebra get eaten by the hyena.

One last thing before I am done: The Mad TV show made a funny version of this movie, and in it he gets stuck on a boat with Dr. Seuss and he loses all the food and other funny stuff.
