Movie Review
We are back with the new and old characters from the first movie. There however is one small difference, they’re in Africa and… the title of the movie is different 
- Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo set off on another world win adventure. King Julien the Lemur and the rest of the crew set off to go back to their home land. The aircraft designed by the penguins appears to be finished. Engine starts up and they fly away, there is however one small problem. They kind of forgot to feel the fuel tank! They crash land in Africa!
Alex meets his real parents, Melman becomes a witch doctor, Gloria finds a new ” BIG friend” and Marty finds out just how unique he really is! Watch as Alex and the crew battle through their adventure to try and get the water back for all the animals. It will take smarts, brilliance and perhaps even a sacrifice! It this wonderfully made animated film, it is one to watch for sure!
Editor’s Report
I have to say I enjoyed the movie, I don’t know if the storyline was as good as the first movie, but it was still something I liked watching. For a second movie, I was expecting it to be a tad rubbish like most second series movies, however I was delighted to see it actually had some pretty funny parts. One for the kids but even adults can enjoy this as well; there are some pretty funny quotes that they may find amusing!

Movie Review
Twilight is a great movie, full of action and excitement. It is basically a story about a young girl named Bella Swan. She is a bit of a loner and never really did fit in any group at her old school in Phoenix. However, Bella’s mother gets married again and sends her to live with her father. Of course she goes to the local school; not expecting much to be different she feels a change. She meets a young boy that she find amazingly wonderful, Edward Cullen.
Bella doesn’t know that Edward is a vampire at first though. As the movie progresses she finds out about it; but Edward’s family is different to other vampires. They only drink blood on animals and never that of a humans. The two begin to get closer and closer, but Edward gets the urge to bite Bella more and more as time goes on. What will happen when a new group of vampires threaten to attack Bella, watch this action filled movie to find out just what goes on!
Editor’s Report
I went out and watched this at the movies last week. One thing I will say is it is a very different movie, it is as if you are reading a diary to get into the movie. It starts off a little slow but towards the middle and end of the movie it really starts to get good. I am going to get this on DVD shortly as I really did like the movie. I am sure anyone that likes supernatural type movies would love this. If you are thinking it may be a little to gory or bloody to watch, don’t! It is perfectly fine to watch and I would even recommend it to 10 year olds!

Movie Review
Tony Stark is a billion dollar man, he likes the women and he likes to go through with his plans to make money. As he travels to Afghanistan, he gets himself in a rather big bother. He is captured by a world leader and is set to do a task, the task being he will need to create a missile. Stark however decides not to do what he is told to do, he makes an Armour suit and thus the legend of Iron Man is born. However when Stark returns back home, his co-workers see a large change in his attitude and him personally.
A greatly directed movie especially for someone that has only made their first movie in the action field. Many expectations were set and many were accomplished, well worth checking out just how good it is.
Editor’s Report
I personally found it to be a pretty good movie. I would have to admit the beginning is a little stop start and doesn’t make all that much sense. However, as you get into the film you begin to understand what is happening and what it is all about. Probably recommended for those that like the comic book style movies of superheroes. Stuff like Spiderman, Superman and Batman are all included in what I mean. Plenty of action and cool stuff to check out!

Petit’s time had now come, he had to make the decision whether to go through with his life long dream or go for another option. Watch the close calls that him and his men must go through in order to fulfill their job.
