Bring it on: In It to Win It is about two cheerleading teams, who hate each other. When both of them go to the East Coast camp to battle it out, the rival camp/cheerleading squad the Falmingos, take the sprit stick. {Its a stick that the leader of the camp owns. Its very special and brings good luck.} The Sharks, one of the squads, think the other team, The Jets took it. There really mad, and then they see that the team from the other camp is REALLY good. So they combine teams, and become the Shets. Finally when the big cheer-off comes, The Falmingos are amazing. Its a really fun movie, and its really good.

I give this movie 5 stars.

The Tempest?

Um, well, I just saw a play: The Tempest by Shakespeare, at The Dalton School and I guess it was at least okay. I thought it was VERY confusing at some parts, but at other parts it was pretty good I guess. The person who actually was amazing, an airy spirit, named Ariel and another girl named Miranda. They both were very good and should continue doing middle school plays. Some others should not. I give this play about 2 and a half stars.
