Today I got to Los Angeles. First I went to Hollywood. I saw many movie stars names on these stars on the ground. Some I saw were Harrison Ford, Godzilla, Roy O Disney, Donald Duck and Michael Jackson. There were people dressed up as Darth Vader, Yoda, Superman, and Batman. I went to the Chinese Theater and saw R2-D2’s and C-3PO’s foot prints out front.
I also went to the La Brea Tar Pits today. There is a museum with bones found in the tar pits. I saw the tar pits. One of them had people working in it. In the museum they had the bones of a Columbian Mamoth and a Saber Tooth Cat.
I went to Marina Del Rey. It is a big marina. I walked around the marina and walked in the sand. Quinn wanted to go on a little dock, but he never got to. On the other side of the marina, there was a little playground that looked like a ship.
Disneyland
I will be going to Disneyland on the 20th of November.I will say everything that happens.
Star Wars Episode I,Phantom Menance
Phantom Menance was the first Star Wars prequel made in 1999. It has characters before the events of Episode IV. The characters are Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker’s father, young Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon Jinn. New enemies like Darth Maul appear. You see Obi-Wan’s master. Yoda and other jedi also are in the movie.
Wall-e
Wall-e is a robot used to clean the Earth 700 years after humans left the planet. There were other Wall-e robots,but they were shut down. Wall-e finds a lot of things, like an iPod, a spork, a rubix cube, and a boot. One day a space ship lands and a robot called Eve comes out. Eve scans buildings and the ground for signs of life. Wall-e gets on the space ship when it comes to get Eve. Wall-e goes on the big spaceship Axiom, where all the humans are. Wall-e brings the plant he found on Earth to the captain of the Axiom. The Axiom then goes back to Earth.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
I really liked the Temple of Doom. It has new characters like Short Round and Willie Scott. My favorite part was when Short Round was driving the car. Most of the movie took place in a palace in India. The main villain is the leader of a group of people called the Thugges.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
My favorite original Indiana Jones movie is Raiders of the Lost Ark. I like the part when Indy gets chased by the giant boulder.
My favorite parts are when Belloq’s head blows up and when Indy thinks the truck holding Marion blows up. I’ve seen it like 20 times. My brother had neighbors over and we watched it.
An Indy Adventure
Yesterday I went to the State Fair. They had an Indiana Jones exhibit. At the beginning the people go in a wooden building with pictures on the walls. Then they come out. There’s a truck and gophers on the ground.
Then the people go into a room on one side the alien from Hanger 51 is on a table and the crystal skull on another. On the other side there is a picture of Indy escaping from an explosion and you can see the Ark of the Covenant (top picture).
Then there was a big tent with ants taking a person into the anthill. Then there is a crystal skeleton in a room and before that there was a truck with a big, round saw blade stuck in it. In the middle there are four obelisks and a spaceship hovering above. then there was a rock with a skull carved into the side and a boat with Mutt and Indy and another person on it. Then there was a place where you can take a photo (below).
Then there was a temple with water going down the side.
My mom also blogged about the fair.
Indiana Jones: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I want to see it again, but my brother does not. I don’t know why he doesn’t want to see the movie.
I liked parts like when Mutt drives into the library and football stadium. I also like when you see the Ark from Raiders of the Lost Ark. My favorite parts are when the car\boat goes over the third waterfall, the ants attack the people, and the city being destroyed by the alien’s ship.
