Tim Tebow to Start?????????
From Sporting News...
Leave it to the New York Jets to turn a two-quarterback controversy into a three-headed monster.
Starter Mark Sanchez finally was benched for his poor performance in Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, but it wasn’t for you-know-who. With Tim Tebow out of action with fractured ribs, it was Greg McElroy coming off the bench to throw the game-winning fourth-quarter touchdown pass in the ugliest of 7-6 victories. “I thought I needed to make a change,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said of the decision after the game. “It’s just something I sensed and I felt. When you’re around this game long enough, you get that feeling ‘you know what? I’ve seen enough’ and it’s time to make that change.” Ryan had no other choice but to pull Sanchez after two and a half quarters. Sanchez had completed only 10 of his 21 pass attempts for 97 yards and threw three more interceptions. The Jets were held scoreless while he was in the game, and Sanchez was no better than his struggling counterpart, Cardinals rookie Ryan Lindley (10-of-31, 72 yards, INT).

Spongebob Squarepants Song Helps Shoppers
I do not own this picture. GK World and/or Nick owns it all.
From Huffington Post...
So who's responsible for the catchiest holiday song to come along in years? Would you believe Michael Vick and South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson (who -- you may recall -- shouted "You lie!" at President Obama back in September 2009 as our Commander-in-Chief was addressing a joint session of Congress)?
Strange but true, folks. During a recent phone interview, Tom Kenny -- the actor / comedian / songwriter who's probably best known for voicing SpongeBob SquarePants -- revealed that it was Vick and Wilson's bad behavior which helped inspire the creation of that new Xmas classic, "Don't Be a Jerk (It's Christmas)."
"This was back in 2009," Tom recalled." And my songwriting partner Andy Paley and I were knocking around some ideas for a SpongeBob Christmas album. I mean, why should Alvin & the Chipmunks and Charlie Brown have all the fun?"

Is Rajon Rondo Worth It?
I do not own this picture. The Boston Jam and/or the NBA owns it all.
From Fox...
On Wednesday, shortly after Boston point guard Rajon Rondo responded to the hard foul by Kris Humphries on Kevin Garnett with a flash of anger and fists, a second fight broke out among NBA fans around the country: Whether or not the mercurial Celtics star is worth all the trouble.
This is the third time in 10 months Rondo has been suspended. The triumvirate began with throwing a ball at an official last season, continued when he made contact with an official during the playoffs, and now has been punctuated with a full-fledged fight against another player that went to the stands — spread to the point that Nets forward Gerald Wallace was fined $35,000 and Garnett fined $25,000 for escalating the brawl, and left Boston without its best player for an entire half against a very good Brooklyn team.
That Rondo is a magnificent talent is not in doubt. He is a playmaker extraordinaire, and had been chasing Magic Johnson’s streak of consecutive games with 10 or more assists when his ejection brought an abrupt halt to his stretch at 37 games, nine behind the Magic mark.

Dwight Howard Does Not Like Deron Williams
From CBS Local...
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Dwight Howard doesn’t care if he’s severed his relationship with Brooklyn Nets’ star Deron Williams.
The detested Lakers’ big man’s list of enemies continues to grow — and Williams might be the next player that Howard has alienated.
“It’s my life, so if he’s upset because I made a decision for me, so be it,” Howard told the Daily News. “If he doesn’t want to be friends because I’m on another team, then so be it. There’s no need to smooth things over.”
Williams expected Howard to become a free agent after Howard demanded to be traded to the Nets.
Howard continued to pout, but failed to exercise his right to become a
free agent which would have opened the door for him to join Williams in
Brooklyn.
Howard says he’s moved on and is happy to be a Laker.
“I’m here now in L.A. there’s no need to talk about what could have happened. I’m happy with being here in L.A.,” Howard said in the same report. “The fans have always been great here. Now that I’m on the team the fans, from day one, they’ve just been unbelievable to me and to this team.

Charles Barkley Gone
I do not own this picture. The NBA and/or Vimeo owns it all.
From Awful Announcing....
Charles Barkley recently told SI.com that his broadcaster career may be coming to an end in the near future. This is surprising since Barkley has always been quite popular amongst his NBA viewers. He's jovial, witty, and seems to enjoy himself on air. In the interview with SI.com, Barkley stated that he "loves his job" and "the people he works with" which makes it even more surprising as to why he'd hang up the mic so early. And yet, Barkley says he may not make it through the end of his current contract, which runs for four more years: "I love my job," Barkley said. "I love the people I work with. And I'm going to try to do things to keep me engaged. But I have four years left on my current deal and to be honest with you, it's going to be a struggle for me to make it for the whole four years. I really don't know how much longer I'm going to do this. I need something more, or something else to do to be honest with you." "Dude, you have been doing this for 13 years and if I make it to the end of the contract it will be 17 years. Seventeen years is a long time. It's a lifetime in broadcasting. I personally have to figure out the next challenge for me."

Hostess Shutting Down
I do not own this picture. Hostess and/or Cup Cakes owns it all.
From the Baltimore Sun...
Soon after hearing that Hostess Brands Inc. was shutting down for good, Lisa Renee Clark wasted no time dashing out to the Wonder Hostess Bakery Thriftshop in Glen Burnie.
But by midday Friday, she was almost too late. The Twinkies had sold out. Supplies of Wonder white bread were dwindling. And the shelves appeared bare of Ho Hos. Finally spotting two boxes of the cream-filled snack cakes, Clark snatched them up.
"So many fun, good things from my childhood are going away," said Clark, 43, a self-employed production assistant and camera operator from Pasadena. "It reminds me of school lunch."
Nostalgia for Hostess' iconic snacks and Wonder bread drove consumers to the outlet on Furnace Branch Road and area grocers Friday to buy Hostess products by the bagload.
On Friday, the 82-year-old company announced it will liquidate and fire more than 18,000 workers, saying a nationwide strike by bakery workers forced a shutdown of operations. And consumers stocked up, fearing Hostess treats would disappear forever, though it's more likely the brands will be sold off and returned to the market by new owners. Shoppers at Giant Food and Safeway stores in the Baltimore area were buying large quantities of Hostess foods, both grocers reported.
"I can't imagine being without Twinkies," said Edythe Smith, of Annapolis, who also loaded up on Hostess Donettes and CupCakes while shopping with her daughter at the thrift shop.
Hostess, which once ranked as the largest U.S. wholesale baker, had suffered declining sales for years as American diets shifted to more health-conscious choices and as labor and ingredient costs rose. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from its creditors in January. The Irving, Texas-based company blamed striking workers for its latest move.

Gasol and Stodemire
From the Bleacher Report...
I do not own this picture. The NBA owns it all.
With the Los Angeles Lakers struggling at 3-5 and the New York Knicks sitting pretty at 6-0, allow me to welcome you to the NBA's version of Bizarro World.
The Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks, two of the most prestigious franchises in all of sports, are surprisingly on two opposite sides of the basketball spectrum to kick off the 2012 season.
Out in Los Angeles, the Lakers are still trying to grasp an identity. The front office ousted head coach Mike Brown after five games, turned down a franchise icon in Phil Jackson and ended up bringing in the offensive guru and Mr. Pringles impressionist Mike D'Antoni. As they sit under .500 through their first eight games, there certainly has some work to be done in order to retool this squad into a viable contender.
But as we head east to New York, there's a bit of a different story. Although they're not the most talented in the league, the Knicks are currently the last remaining unbeaten. They've bested some NBA powerhouses in Miami and San Antonio and look to be clicking in all the right places under the direction of Mike Woodson.
So how can the Lakers turn it back on and how can the Knicks maintain their exciting success?
Simple, swap power forwards.

LeBron says Chris Paul is the Best Point Guard in the NBA
I do not own this picture. The Chicago Tribune and/or the NBA owns it all.
From the LA Times...
After the Clippers beat Miami on Wednesday, LeBron James sat by his locker praising Chris Paul.
"He's always aware, he knows the tempo of the game, knows the score. He's always aware of when he needs to pick his points, you know, pick his shots or get into attack and make things happen.
"That's why I've always felt that he's the best point guard in the NBA."
Paul had 16 points and 10 assists in the Clippers' 107-100 win over the defending champions. He opened the game up for his team, turning a 54-52 halftime lead into a double-digit advantage heading into the fourth quarter after he scored 13 points in the final three minutes and 22 seconds of the third quarter.
Paul referred to his third-quarter scoring frenzy as a stroke of luck.
When a reporter told him that the reigning MVP of the league thinks that Paul's humility is a bit misguided, Paul laughed.

Lost in the hoopla surrounding speculation over the possibility that LeBron James might ditch the Miami Heat for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2014—a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma—was this tidbit from the "report" filed by ESPN's Brian Windhorst on Thursday:
Meanwhile, keep an eye on Chris Paul, LeBron's best friend in the NBA. James has wanted to team up with CP3 for seven years or more. In 2005, when Paul was about to be drafted, James asked the Cavs to attempt to move up to get Paul, but the Cavs did not have the assets to pull off such a trade.LeBron, it seems, is buddy-buddy with CP3, perhaps even more so than he was with Dwyane Wade (and, to a lesser extent, Chris Bosh) prior to the summer of 2010. James has never played with a great point guard before, though that may have as much to do with how his teams have viewed his abilities as a floor general more than anything else
Paul and James have only grown closer since, playing together on Team USA four times since 2006 and winning gold medals in 2008 and last summer. Paul will be a free agent in 2013, and his situation could influence James' plans a year later.

Carmelo Anthony is renewed. The New York Knicks forward is averaging 27.3 points and 7.3 rebounds a game and playing the best defense of his career.
The result: The Knicks are the last unbeaten team in the NBA at 4-0. But that's not good enough for USA TODAY Sports' NBA power rankings voters.
In our first in-season power rankings, Anthony trails LeBron James of the Miami Heat, whom the Knicks beat to open the season, in MVP votes while New York comes in second in our team rankings to the San Antonio Spurs.

Sky Fall Review
From EW...
I do not own this picture. Skyfall and/or Fandango owns it all.
Of all the marvelous feats that make Skyfall such a thrilling addition to the James Bond movie canon, the greatest may be that the 23rd entry conveys the melancholy of loss, mortality, and future-shock anxiety, while at the same time leaving us plenty of space to enjoy one of the most complexly unhinged villains in Bond history. Bounding back four years after the sour stasis of Quantum of Solace and 50 years after Mr. Bond ordered his first martini on screen, this freshly oxygenated entry — the third starring the totally captivating cool cucumber Daniel Craig as Agent 007 — is both an elegy and a mission statement. It's also a great, long-lasting jolt of pleasure.

LeBron James and Brown
I do not own this picture. Stepien Rules and/or the NBA owns it all.
From CBS...
LeBron James is very familiar with Mike Brown. He played for him in Cleveland for most of his career. And upon the summer of LeBron's imminent departure in the wake of the decision, in an effort to convince him to stay, Brown was fired as Cavs coach. The perception has always been strong that James was responsible for that decision, that were he to return to Cleveland, there would have to be a new coach.
James has, from time to time, defended Brown publicly, and Brown, for his part, has hinted that while Kobe Bryant's work ethic is superior (and who is it not to?), he had nothing bad to say about James. After the Lakers fired Brown on Friday, James began to tell reporters why he didn't feel it was fair before PR cut him off. From ESPN:
"I think it's unfortunate," James said Friday after the Heat's win in Atlanta against the Hawks. "I just don't think he got a fair shake, honestly. With the shortened season last year, and five games into this year, he didn't really get a full season."

iPhone 5 Review
I do not own this picture. Apple and/or Pocket-Lint owns it all.
From TechRadar ...
Update: We've spent two weeks with the iPhone 5 now and we've updated the review with our thoughts - see what you think and make a decision whether you still do / don't want to buy one. The excitement of the rumour mill, the titillation of every leaked photo led to higher than ever levels of expectation over the iPhone 5 features, and while the announcement was greeted with some derision at the lack of perceived headline improvements, the record sales tell an entirely different story. Given the underwhelming changes to the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5 launch really needs to re-energise customers to prove Apple can repeat the game-changing trick it managed with the iPhone 4. The iPhone 5 price is predictably high, so consumers will need to bear that in mind too when looking for their next smartphone.

Halo 4 Review
From Paste Magazine...
I do not own this picture. Game Informer or Halo owns it all
I think a lot of people were asking the wrong question when they pondered whether 343i would make as good a steward of the Halo franchise as had Bungie. What I wanted to know was whether or not 343i could drag Halo out of the miserable hole that was Reach. During the first few months of Reach, you could wreck ¾ of the player-base by abusing armor lock. Then, the top players perfected their jet pack skills so that anyone who didn’t know how to fly-and-headshot was hopelessly outclassed. It made the game a lot harder to come back to if you have a life outside of playing Halo, because Bungie essentially doubled the amount of basic movement and control literacies that become rusty with disuse.
Many people are concerned about Halo 4‘s new multiplayer progression system. In most of the match types, you have to customize your own loadouts. 343i made the ridiculous decision to lock many of your choices with a “Spartan point” currency system. It’ll take five hours to gain access to everything, then maybe another five to finally unlock it all. God knows how the armor specialization system works, because it was feature-locked during the review period. You need to select a primary weapon, a sidearm, a grenade, an armor ability, a defensive perk, and an offensive tactic. Pretty much everybody I played against during the review period went for what’s sure to be the “vanilla” build for the foreseeable future: battle rifle, magnum, frag grenade, shield recharge (defensive), and quick reload (tactical). Plasma pistols and grenades don’t feel quite as accurate as they once did.

Then, the top players perfected their jet pack skills so that anyone who didn’t know how to fly-and-headshot was hopelessly outclassed. It made the game a lot harder to come back to if you have a life outside of playing Halo, because Bungie essentially doubled the amount of basic movement and control literacies that become rusty with disuse.
Many people are concerned about Halo 4‘s new multiplayer progression system. In most of the match types, you have to customize your own loadouts. 343i made the ridiculous decision to lock many of your choices with a “Spartan point” currency system. It’ll take five hours to gain access to everything, then maybe another five to finally unlock it all. God knows how the armor specialization system works, because it was feature-locked during the review period. You need to select a primary weapon, a sidearm, a grenade, an armor ability, a defensive perk, and an offensive tactic. Pretty much everybody I played against during the review period went for what’s sure to be the “vanilla” build for the foreseeable future: battle rifle, magnum, frag grenade, shield recharge (defensive), and quick reload (tactical). Plasma pistols and grenades don’t feel quite as accurate as they once did.

In the tradition of "Toy Story," "Wreck-It Ralph" imagines the secret lives of children's playthings, only here, it's videogame characters who come to life after an arcade closes its doors. Tired of being bad, a Donkey Kong-style demolition expert quits his destructive day job to become a hero, inadvertently wreaking havoc as he travels from game to game in search of redemption. With plenty to appeal to boys and girls, old and young, Walt Disney Animation Studios has a high-scoring hit on its hands in this brilliantly conceived, gorgeously executed toon, earning bonus points for backing nostalgia with genuine emotion.
From Maleficent to Scar, as long as there have been Disney animated movies, the villains have stood out as their most memorable characters. Flipping that dynamic, a la "Wicked," the story team behind "Wreck-It Ralph" -- director Rich Moore and scribes Phil Johnston ("Cedar Rapids") and Jennifer Lee -- decided to position a classic 8-bit baddie as the center of their affectionate homage to the world of videogames. The fun begins at a "Bad-Anon" sharing session, where various villains have gathered -- in Pac-Man's ghost home, of course -- to commiserate about their sorry lot in life.Unlike humans, these hard-coded characters don't enjoy the benefits of free will. Instead, they have been programmed to be aggressive -- and ultimately beaten by the heroes in their respective games. For Ralph (John C. Reilly, a naturally comedic star with a voice ripe for animation), that means being thrown in the mud and having to sleep in the junkyard every night while Fix It Felix Jr. ("30 Rock's" ultra-peppy Jack McBrayer) parties with the Nicelanders. Lucky for Ralph, he can hop the train to Grand Game Central, a giant surge-protector terminal where digital creations are free to mingle after dark, offering licensed cameos from Q*bert, Sonic the Hedgehog and Tapper for the benefit of those old enough to remember them. But Ralph mustn't forget the key rule: "If you die outside your own game, you don't regenerate, ever."

Here Comes The Boom Review
From Box Office......
I do not own this picture/poster. Here Comes The Boom and/or Fandango owns it all.
If Viola Davis could throw a punch, Won't Back Down would have ended a lot differently. But Kevin James can—kinda—so instead of fighting teacher's unions, this month's second flick about failing schools has a different solution: make the biology teacher fight MMA. (Though that means facing 205 lb heavyweight Krzysztof Soszynski, James may have the easier task.) Here Comes the Boom is Rocky for fifth graders, with enough pro-school propaganda to make parents think it's worth the price of popcorn. Like James in the ring, it doesn't pack a lot of power, but it comes out swinging and sweats for applause. Boom won't be a box office knockout, but if it hits its target audience of preteens, it can leave theaters a humble success.

From The Basketball Overload.....
The 2012-2013 season is still just under two months from beginning with the NBA's preseason, but the offseason has reached a dry period, with potentially the only big block yet to fall being Dwight Howard. Now is an ideal time to review what each team has done in an attempt to better position themselves for either next season or for future seasons (hey...Daryl Morey). Basically I'll just look at each teams best move and conversely their worst move and then summarize their offseason up to this point, grades and all.

NBA 2k13 Review
I do not own this picture/cover. NBA 2k13 and/or Gamestop owns it.
From NY Daily News
LOVED IT: MyCareer RPG experience is even more in-depth, fluid controls simplify key on-court actions, solid presentation
HATED IT: Game does poor job of teaching, lousy menu system, some overdone presentation flourishes
GRAB IT IF: You love hoops
They didn't need to change a thing. And yet, they changed just about everything.
Visual Concepts entered this year with a tried-and-true formula for a basketball video game. For years, the NBA 2K series has been built on a handful of pillars — a deliberate on-court pace, an immersive RPG element, and a realistic dynasty piece — and these pieces have routinely led to success. Why mess with it, right?
Wrong, decided Visual Concepts. And the end product is NBA 2K13, the most immersive sports game this year. From the on-court experience to the off-court life to the recent integration of hip-hop into the NBA culture, this game wants to draw you in. And even if Jay-Z hadn't lent his production skills to the presentation (and done a highly overrated job, by the way), NBA 2K13 would have been a rousing success.

Hotel Translyania Review
I do not own this picture/poster. Hotel Translvania and/or Collider owns it.
From Indiewire.....
For some reason (and we're convinced it was a cosmic misunderstanding), the various studios are releasing three horror-themed animated films in three consecutive months. Last month, we got the marvelous (and unfairly marginalized) "ParaNorman," next month we have Tim Burton's triumphant "Frankenweenie," and this week we have "Hotel Transylvania," about a gothic safe haven for all manner of things that go bump in the night. To set itself apart from the pack, "Hotel Transylvania" has opted to forgo any intentional spookiness and focus purely on comedy – mostly of the broad, physical variety. And while "Hotel Transylvania" doesn't have the eeriness or resonance of the other two films, it is admirably energetic – a pinball machine of a movie, one that's painted with cartoon monsters and really, really loud.

The Oggieloves Review
Yes I saw the movie. The worst opening movie ever. I had to see it. I like horrible movies. I do not know why. This is a quote from Patrick StarI do not own this picture/poster. The Oogieloves and/or Fandango owns it all.
"Dumb people are just blissfully unaware of how very dumb they are."
Patrick Star
You will feel dumb in this movie. Well, the movie is about them planning a surprise birthday party for a bed or something that could not talk at all. The balloons floated away and there was no balloons left in the state. That is the movie. I give this movie a 12 out of 10 because it was that good. I am just kidding, I can not give this a amount because it was ridiculous. I can not even write the review. The review is done. Please read my next review.
Here is the trailer.

Nick and Disney Channel Shows. Shows from 2006 and now.
I do not own this picture. Spongebob and/or Nick owns it.Hi, this is going to be a review about the Nick and Disney Channel shows from 2006 and now. There is going two be two catergories. One from 2006 to 2008 and the other will be from 2009 to 2012. Lets start with the first category. During the 1st category we had Drake and Josh, Ned Declassified, The Fairy Odd Parents, Spongebob Squarepants, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and many more. The 2nd category has iCarly, Victorious, The Fairy Odd Parents, Spongebob Squarepants, Phineas and Ferb, Good Luck Charlie and more. So this is how I look at it, Drake and Josh > Victorious Ned Declassified > iCarly, The Fairy Odd Parents = The Fairy Odd Parents, Spongebob Squarepants = Spongbob Squarepants, Phineas and Ferb > The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody > Good Luck Charlie. The only good show they added was Phineas and Ferb. Thanks for reading and read my next review.
Here is a episode of Spongebob.

The NBA Season 2012- 2013 Trades
Hi this is a review for the NBA Season for 2012-2013 trades. This season, we have a lot of differences. Dwight Howard to the Lakers, Joe Johnson to the Nets, Andre Iguodala to the Nuggets , Ray Allen to the Heat and so many more. I am only going to talk about these trades. Let me start off with Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard who did not want to play on the Orlando Magic anymore, demanded a trade. I do not think it is right that he got his coach fired, Stan Van Gundy and then left the team, but what are you going to do. It went from him going to the Brooklyn Nets to the Houston Rockets to the OKC Thunder. I am not sure if anyone heard this but Dwight Howard was going to be traded for James Harden, Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins. Next trade we have is Joe Johnson to the Nets. Joe Johnson, who is coming off his worst season of his career in my option is going to try to get better having Deron Williams with him. Then, we have Andre Iguodala, who got trade to the Nuggets because of the Dwight trade. Andre who is the 5th best Small Forward in the NBA should do great of the Nuggets giving them a star player. Last, we have Ray Allen coming to the Heat. Ray, who is the 2nd best three point shooter (after Kevin Durant) will be a surprise for him to come off the bench. Those are all the trades and my options on the trades.
Here is the Dwight Howard interview

The Odd Life of Timothy Green
This is a review of the movie of The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The movie felt like the longest movie I have ever watched. It was about about a married couple that could not have kids. Magically, a kid comes out of the ground. He looks normal, but has leaves on his legs. Every time a leave falls off his ankles, he is one step closer from disappearing. This movie felt like it was 6 hours long. It felt longer than The Dark Knight Rises, and that was a long movie. I would give the movie a 4. Thanks for reading and please read my next review.
Here is a preview of the movie.....
The Watch Review
I do not own this picture. Fandango and/or The Watch owns it all.This is the review for the Watch. This movie was horrible. I am sorry, but I thought this movie was going to be like Grown Ups and soon have a squeal like Grown Ups 2. Ben Stiller instead of Adam Sandler, Vince Vaughn instead of of Chris Rock and Johan Hill instead of Kevin James. It was nothing like Grown Ups. This movie was more like Battleship with a little comedy. The movie was about Ben Stiller wanting to make a Neigh hood Watch to watch out the town. Ben Stiller was too serious, Vince Vaughn was tryng to be too funny and Johan Hill was trying to copy what he did in 21 Jump Street. 21 Jump Street was a lot better. I recommended not to see this and watch Grown Ups. I give this movie 4 stars for the reason that I am a fan of these three actors, but they did not do a good job.

Madden 13 Review
I do not own this custom cover. The person that made it and/or Madden 13 and/or Xbox own it all.I wanted to mix it up a bit and do a video game review. It this review, I will be doing a review on Madden 13. I have Madden 13 for the Xbox 360. Madden 13 is a new experience to all Maddens. It has Calvin Johnson on the cover and even know I was rooting for Cam Newton instead, I actually like the way the cover looks. It is good quality and has a look of the whole city. I like this custom Victor Cruz one better because I am a Giants fan. The game starts out with a video of Ray Lewis. I do not think Ray Lewis should have done the video because he is not on the cover. It should have been Calvin Johnson or the coach of the Lions or something. The game play is great. I am not a big fan of Ultimate Team because I do not know a lot of NFL players. I know most people that start Ultimate Team don't know most of the players they get, but I just gave up. The Connected Careers is fun, but the only problem I have with it is that you can only put one Game Face in it. That stinks because I had all these celebrities I was going to put in the game. I had Jimmy Fallon, Spongebob Squarepants, Kate Upton, LeBron James, Will Ferrell and a lot more and I do not know who to put in. Overall I give the game a 7.5. It is a fun game with a lot of new features, but I get bored of Ultimate Team and you can not put more than one Game Face. Thanks for reading and please read my next review.

Ted Review
I do not own this picture/poster. Fandango and/or Ted own it all.
Welcome to the Basketball Exclusive. This is my review on Ted. Ted was a movie about a kid that has no friends and wishes his teddy bear was real. Well, his wish came true. Over time, the bear got older and so did the boy. The boy (Mark Wahlberg) who name is John still lived with his teddy bear and he was like 35 years old. John also had a girlfriend (Mila Kunis) named Lori Collins. Lori was Ted (Seth MacFarlane) out of there life and relationship. Once Ted moves out, but John sees him everyday because everyday there is something better at Ted's house. One day they are watching Cheers outtakes and bloopers and the next day they are meeting Flash Gordon. Lori finally can't take it anymore and breaks up with John. Ted feels bad and decides and tells Lori that if he gives John another chance, Lori and John will never see Ted again.
Overall I give this movie a 6.5 because it was funny, but I thought there was going to be less smoking and the story line at the end was weird. Thanks for reading this and please read my other reviews
The Dark Knight Rises Review
I do not own this picture/poster. Fandango and/or The Dark Knight Rises own it all.
The first review on my movie channel is the Dark Knight Rises. This movie was great, but it was long. The villain Bane (Tom Hardy) is trying to take over the city and kill Batman Christian Bale) . He trapped Batman in a well. Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) at the beginning was a bad guy and than transferred to a good guy. At the end, Batman got out of the well and went to fight Bane with Catwoman. During the fight, Bane punched Batman though glass. Than they told this story about Bane saving Miranda (Marion Cotillard) a few years ago and how she was always a villain. Blake/Robin ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt) was trying to save the kids. They faked like Batman and Catwoman got killed, but only did that because they wanted to start over there lives and be normal people. I give the movie a 8.5 stars because it was a great movie but way to long. Thanks for reading and make sure to read my next review.
