by Kaitlyn Burnett
Do you know of a world where everything imaginable is possible? You might be thinking of Hogwarts, but this isn’t the world I’m talking about. I’m talking about Tomorrowland. Does the name ring a bell? Well guess what? For all of you sci-fi lovers, there are making a great new movie about it! In this new Disney film, a girl from an ordinary town gets magically transported to the well-known Disney theme park land, Tomorrowland! Remember all of the futuristic rides like Space Mountain? Imagine living in a world where those rides are real-life! But how does the girl find Tomorrowland you ask? Great question! One fateful day she finds a mysterious pin that, only by touching it, transports her to Tomorrowland. How cool, right!! Just think, if you were in her shoes, you could travel to a place where you could fly with jetpacks! Or even build rocketships that could explore the galaxy! Is it just me, or does this movie sound like an out-of-this-world feature! Not hooked yet? How does a cast starring the famous George Clooney and the new-comer Britt Robertson sound? Interested now? Watch BOTH of the trailers below and see Tomorrowland when it blasts into theaters May 22, 2015!
Pitch Perfect Is Back!!!
by Kaitlyn Burnett
I don’t know about you, but I missed Beca and the gang after they sang their way into our hearts with the first Pitch Perfect movie. Well luckily for all of us, they are all back and as great as ever in Pitch Perfect 2! I saw this movie over the weekend with my friends and I loved it! Fat Amy was once again hilarious and put on a great show, and there is a new Bella joining the a capella group. The Bellas make it all the way to the world championship and, I won’t say if they win or not, but I love their song mashup at the end of the movie! This is by far better than the first movie and I hope to see more of the Bellas soon! So what are you waiting for? Go see this great movie before it leaves theaters!

"It's been going very well," Josiah tells PEOPLE. "I met Marjorie a few years ago, when I was taking Spanish lessons at her house, and I was very impressed with the way she was with her siblings and her love for the Lord. Sparks began to fly when both of them went on a mission trip to El Salvador in December. “She really caught my eye," he says. "That is really where I noticed her.”

Paul Blart Mall Cop Review
By Kian Mostoufi
Looking for a great movie in a theater near you? If so, I highly suggest Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. It’s about a mall cop who became well known by saving people held hostage on Black Friday, one of which was his daughter in the previous movie, Paul Blart Mall Cop. This lead him to giving a speech at a security convention in Las Vegas 5 years later. But when thieves try to steal valuable paintings on display and hold his daughter hostage at the hotel Paul is staying at, it’s up to him and his fellow officers to save the day. Will Paul Blart be a hero once more, or will the bad guys succeed this time? Find out in the hilarious comedy sequel, Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.

Big Hero 6
By Maura Kilcoyne
On Friday November 7, I had the pleasure of seeing Disney’s latest movie, Big Hero 6. Overall, I thought the movie was entertaining and fresh. There was never a dull moment. Everything happened back to back. I love to see that in movies because it tells me that the creators really tried to get as much action as possible into the film.
My favorite parts of the entire film were the scenes where Hiro, the main character, was trying to teach Baymax how to fight and the scenes following the end credits. If you have not seen the movie yet, I would definitely recommend staying for the credits.
There was only one thing that bugged me about the movie: the lack of scenes with Hiro’s friends Fred, GoGo Tomago, Wasabi, and Honey Lemon. They could have played bigger roles, and had no real backstories.
According to Box Office Mojo, Big Hero 6 has made $148,317,471 Worldwide at the box office, ranking 1st for the past week of November 7th-13th. I would absolutely recommend this movie. The film sends a great message about applying one’s talent to making the best of a situation, and I’m certain you will fall in love with Baymax!

The Duggar's Continue to Grow!
by: Hannah Chan
The reality television show 19 Kids and Counting continues to add to their family. Jessa, 22, is the third Duggar child to tie the knot, following in the footsteps of her older siblings, Josh and Jill.
Jessa and husband, Ben Seewald,19, were married on November 1st in front of a 1,000 guests, including celebrities like Kirk Cameron. A beautiful bride, Jessa wore a blush tone dress from Allure’s Modest Collection with a heart shaped necklace, which Ben gave to her when they started courting. The dashing groom, Ben wore a navy suit with a coral bow tie. The wedding party, definitely Duggar size, consisted of eleven bridesmaids, dressed in modest coral, ten groomsmen dressed up in navy blue pants with suspender, a gray dress shirt, and a coral bow tie, and two flower girls
Jessa’s wedding was what you would think of as a tradition wedding. First, ice cream sundaes replaced the wedding cake. Second, the usual white wedding dress was replaced with soft pink. However, the most shocking event happened at the alter! When the pastor exclaimed the famous lines, “I now pronounce you husband and wife.” The newlyweds had their own idea of their first kiss, dashing down the aisle, sharing the first kiss in private. This unique family continues to pave their own path in life and in weddings!

The Hobbit:
“The Battle of the Five Armies brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town. Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice.” Directed by Peter Jackson coming out on december 17
Annie:
“Academy Award® nominee Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) stars as Annie, a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz). But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) - advised by his brilliant VP, Grace (Rose Byrne) and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy (Bobby Cannavale) - makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around.”
Directed by Will Gluck rated PG coming out december 19
