The Vapur Anti-Bottle is made of BPA-free 3-ply polymer and it rolls up super small when it’s empty. It’s a good idea to buy a water bottle that you can use over and over again because it’s better for Earth if we don’t have to make and recycle plastic water bottles, so we’re always looking for just the right reusable bottle.
I like how it is eco-friendly! And I like the color!
I don’t like when the bottle is half empty and it won’t stand up. Also, when it is full and you grab it too tightly, it might spray you like a juice box!
The water tastes good when it is cold…but when it sits around for a little bit like at the park, the water starts to taste like plastic!
The subs were super yummy! It was really easy to make them! We also made Teriyaki meatballs from the same cookbook, but they were disgusting. The cookbook says the the seasonings in the meatballs don’t overpower the other flavors in the recipes, but that’s not true. When we made the Teriyaki meatballs we could taste the Italian seasoning in the meatballs, and it didn’t mix well with the teriyaki… Stick with Italian recipes with Italian meatballs or get non-Italian meatballs for non-Italian recipes.
Disney is releasing Hannah Montana: The Movie on Blu-Ray and DVD, and Pete’s Dragon: High Flying Edition on DVD on August 18th. I’m not a big Hannah Montana fan, but I guess the movie was cool. Basically, in the movie, she can’t be both Hannah Montanna and Miley Cyrus at the same time. Ginger and Maya liked it a lot, but Maya didn’t want to do the review. I guess she didn’t have to because she’s only 5.
I haven’t watched Pete’s Dragon yet so all I know is that there is a dude named Pete and he has a dragon, and I think the dragon’s name is Elliot. It’s a very old movie. It might be good. I think people who like really old movies would like this one. I guess I might like it because I liked Marry Poppins…I don’t know…
We got a bunch of movies a long time ago that we didn’t review yet because we didn’t like them and we don’t like to do bad reviews.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s andFunny Face are both old movies that they released again with new special features, in honor of Audrey Hepburn’s 80th birthday anniversary. My grandma likes these movies and my mom does too, but I can’t really understand when the people talk because I think they talk too fast! Maya liked the singing and dancing in Funny Face, but I didn’t. My mom liked the special features and the booklet that came with them. They both come with 2 discs and the 2nd disc is all special features.
The best and the most important part is one of the new special features on Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It’s called Mr. Yunioshi: An Asian Perspective and it talks about how racist it was to have Mickey Rooney play a Japanese character with so many bad stereotypes. It also talks about other Asian stereotypes in movies and tv and why that’s wrong. And it talks about the Japanese interment camps during WWII and how bad that was. It’s the most interesting part of the DVD. Here are Breakfast at Tiffany’s other special features:
o A Golightly Gathering (new)
o Henry Mancini: More Than Music (new)
o Mr. Yunioshi: An Asian Perspective (new)
o The Making of a Classic
o It’s So Audrey: A Style Icon
o Behind the Gates: The Tour
o Brilliance in a Blue Box
o Audrey’s Letter to Tiffany
o Original Theatrical Trailer
o Photo Galleries
And Funny Face’s:
o Kay Thompson: “Think Pink” (new)
o This is VistaVision (new)
o Fashion Photographers Exposed (new)
o The Fashion Designer and His Muse
o Parisian Dreams
o Paramount in the ’50s - Retrospective Featurette
o Original Theatrical Trailer
o Photo Galleries
And I don’t really like Horton Hears a Who, either. It’s just that they try to be funny, but they are really not. Probably the only funny one is the little yellow one and I think her name is Kate or Katie. AND the Horton Hears a Who people didn’t even send us the real DVD!!! They sent us a promotional copy that came in an envelope and not a nice box!!! AND when you play the movie there’s a logo on the screen the whole time!! Annoying!!! We work hard on these reviews so the least they could do is send us a good copy!!
It’s November! That means you have to think about what to buy for a bunch of kids for the holidays. We celebrate Christmas, but our friends Noah and Madison celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah and other people do Kwanzaa and other people don’t do holidays, but still buy their kids things. So we’re going to try to post a review every weekday in November to help you with your gift lists. Also, we have tons of things to give away like books, DVDs, and games.
Here is our first pre-holiday book review (I think we’re going to try to do books all week long, but I can’t remember if that’s true or not). It’s a huge book called The Way We Work by David Macaulay. It’s not the kind of thing we like. But watch the video because my mom says it’s a really good book and lots of people might like it.
And now for our giveaway!
We’re giving away a different big book. It’s called The Bill Martin Jr. Big Book of Poetry. It’s a huge book filled with poems that were picked by Bill Martin Jr. To enter the contest, just leave a comment telling us what your favorite book is. If you’re a grown-up, tell us what your favorite book was when you were a little kid. We’ll announce the winner on Monday, November 10th.
If you ever considered becoming a teacher in elementary & secondary education, know that you can earn your degree online. No need to take time away from your kid time while you earn your desired degree.
Stick with Italian recipes with Italian meatballs or get non-Italian meatballs for non-Italian recipes.
