The Boy Who Cried Werewolf Review
Okay, so this time I'm going to review a Nickelodeon movie that premiered back in 2010 titled The Boy Who Cried Werewolf.
The film stars Victoria Justice as Jordan Sands,who is awkward and nerdy 17 year old, and she basically has a ruff life in school and is bullied by these two asshole girls.
She lives with her dad and her little brother and her mother passed away. The family visits to their Great Uncle's castle which they inherited in Wolfsburg.
They meet a really scary and weird housekeeper played by Brook Shields. There's also this Real Estate Agent named Paulina who starts dating Jordon and Hunter's father.
Jordan gets something caught in her foot while she and her brother are down in their Great Uncle's lab,after some bats scare them, which is a pretty cool sequence.
Jordan then slowly starts to transform into a werewolf by night and it's up to her brother Hunter to help cure her before it's too late.
We see Jordan slowly change throughout the movie, she can start seeing without her glasses, she becomes more confident and when she gets cursed you see her flipping like an acrobat as jumping heights. Overall I did enjoy her character. She's a party nice girl ended she really does care for her brother in the movie.
I also thought the Real Estate Agent was a good villain, I mean it's pretty cool how you don't expect her to be this crazy vampire because she seems like such a nice lady and she's so nice to the Kids. It comes off as a bit of a surprise.
I also enjoyed Hunter, Jordan's younger brother in this movie. He's a pretty smart kid, and you kinda can connect with him on what he's going through. I mean, think of scary it would be if one of your siblings turned into a werewolf...
Over all, this is pretty fun and enjoyable movie. I thought it was just okay first two times I watched it, but upon rewathing it I found myself enjoying it.
Victoria Justice does a pretty good performance, and her character in this movie differs from her characters in Zoey 101 and Victorious.
The climax was decent, but I think it could have been longer, and I didn't care much for Brook Shields' character.
Also, I found it weird that they chose the characters to sing a Britney Spears song in the end credits. I mean, it's oddly nostalgic for me to hear that, but a 90s song that's not even popular anymore seems a bit out of place for a Nickelodeon movie that aired in 2010, but I'm not really complaining about that.
It's pretty good for a TV movie. I'd say give it a watch if you see it reran on Nicktoons or Teen Nick. That's all I have to say for this review. Take care.

Fred 2: Night Of The Living Fred Review
Okay, time for another review, and I sure do have allot to say about this TV movie. You see, when Fred become the biggest internet star, which is probably the biggest mystery, Nickelodeon just had to bring him to the network in hopes it would boost their ratings. , Fred made an appearance on ICarly, then he got three movies and a tv series.
Well, I haven't seen the first Fred movie, but I saw this on Nicktoons Network The other day, and let's say it blew my mind by how bad it really was.
The basic start of the movie begins when Fred finds out his favorite teacher has been replaced by some weird ass man Mr. Delvin.
There is also a girl who likes Fred in the movie and he thinks she is stalking him. Talia her name is.
Fred and his mother get invited to a party at the teacher's house, and Fred start to suspect he's a vampire.
To talk a little about the characters, Fred's mother is just horrible. She doesn't take good care of him, she basically tells her son who has mental brain damage that he's crazy, she acts like she's drunk, and she talks to Fred like she wants to try something inappropriate with him.. okay, I'm gonna drop it there.
The next character I'm going to talk about is Fred's best friend Berths played by Danielle Monet who's known for her role of Trina Vega on Victorious, I honestly like her character. I think she's a good friend to Fred, and she might be the most sane character in the movie. I like that she wears pretty cool and creative outfits.
Now, let's talk about Fred.. oh, my god, Fred never stops talking, and he even sings at one part of the movie, and he constantly talks into the camera. He consistently has these crazy over-the-top fantasies. If Fred's voice doesn't cause you a nervous breakdown, then so many things about his character will.
Fred also had a dad who lives in the fridge and he just comes at random times out of nowhere. I can't tell if he's real or part of Fred's fantasy. Oh, wait, he's an imaginary dad.
Okay, this movie is literally insulting people who are severely mentally ill or handicapped. I mean, there are people who deal with these problems in real life and I think this movie is going to offend them.
So, with all that is this one of the worst movies out there. Well, actually I don't think I would. To be honest, while it is indeed a bad movie, I feel ashamed to admit it,but it's one of those movies that might be worth one watch just to see how bad it really is.
I mean some of the parts with Fred acting like an idiot,his fantasy sequences and other parts honestly did make me laugh hard at how stupid they were.
I also did enjoy Daniela Monet as she played a pretty fun, likable character. Can't go wrong with her. She has indeed been a good actress for Nickelodeon.
However, most of this movie has a plot that just goes nowhere and in the end of the movie it just leaves viewers confused.
Fred gets extremely annoying and it's a wonder how there actually are people that tolerate his voice.
This was definitely a bad movie. I don't know which people consider worse the Fred movies or the live action FOP movies with Drake Bell as Timmy Turner. I might review one of those movies in the future.

A Christmas Tori Review
Merry Christmas, Everybody! Today I'm gonna review a Christmas special of a Nickelodeon show I often enjoy watching. I'm going to review the Christmas special of Victorious "A Christmas Tori"
The basic plot of the episode is it's Christmas time at Hollywood Arts and the teacher Sikowitz is having Tori and the rest of the students become secret santa's and give another student a present to get in the Christmas spirit.
Meanwhile, Trina brings home a freaking huge Christmas tree and she has Robbie come over and decorate the big thing.
Tori has trouble thinking of what to give Andre for a gift and Jade actually gives her advice. It's overall a great ending with Tori, Cat and Jade singing Andre's song he wrote.
Cat I believe gets a cotton candy machine from Robbie, and I believe Jade gets some kind of scissors.
I have to say it was a pretty fun Christmas special. It was funny and a bit touching. I think I might be being too nice with this review, but it could just be because I often enjoy this show, even the bad episodes I admit are flawed. That's all I have to say for this review. It's a pretty good special, but I don't think it's a show for everyone, but if you enjoy the show I think you'll love this special.

Marry Christmas, Drake and Josh Review
Okay, so today I'm reviewing a made for tv Christmas film based on the Nickelodeon classic sitcom Drake and Josh. While I do find Drake and Josh a bit overrated at times it's still a great show and I enjoy rewatching it, and this movie was made not too long after the original series ended and aired back in 2008 and it got some of the greatest ratings for a TV movie.
But how was the movie. Well, it was okay. There were some parts I really enjoyed and some I didn't. My first problem with the movie is absolutely hate Megan in this movie. I mean, she cuts an awesome inflatable snowman Josh makes and she's just really unlikable throughout this movie. I know she's evil on the show, but she's more evil in a funny way. I really didn't like her in this movie.
I must also say that the movie is way too mean spirited towards Josh. I mean, he gets taken to jail for no reason, and most of the characters treat him like a sack of shit.
I forgot how much torture Josh went through in the series. Hell, even Freddie from ICarly and Robbie from Victorious didn't go through what poor Josh had to deal with, but Josh does make friends with his prison roommate and I have to say I really enjoyed that character.
I think the movie did have a sweet story with Drake keeping a promise to the little girl to make her Christmas good, but a lot of the movie focuses on too much drama and and there's not enough moments that made me laugh. I mean, it's not a bad thing, but when it's a movie based on such a comedic show like Drake and Josh I really expect more laughs. There are some great jokes like when Drake gets chased by the crazy girl in a Santa suit. I really loved that scene.
Overall, I thought the movie was decent, not really great, but not bad. If you're a big fan of Drake and Josh I would say this movie is worth a watch, but I would recommend just sticking with the show itself. Because it's better in my opinion.

Rango Review
Okay, today I'm doing a movie review. This review is gonna be on one of my favorite films the 2011 animated film Rango.
From Nickelodeon movies and the director of Pirates Of the Caribbean comes a western animated film about a chameleon named Rango who goes from being a house pet to becoming a shrift for a town called dirt.
There are so many things I love about this movie first thing I want to talk about the characters and story. I really enjoyed Rango's character. It was really great seeing him go from kinda an actor and a house pet to becoming a hero and facing Rattlesnake Jake and saving Beans towards the end of the movie is just makes a great lead character and a great story.
Some of the other characters I really liked were Beans, Rango's love interest she was a really awesome and strong character and Rattlesnake Jake is is a fantastic villain. He was threatening, scary and crazy.
The animation in the movie is some of the greatest animation I've ever seen. The characters look really detailed and realistic. The music is epic and awesome.
The movie is really dark. It's got language, gunfights and the characters smoke and drink. It's for sure a movie more for family with stuff adults will enjoy, similar to movies like The Fantastic Mr. Fox.
So far, Nickelodeon has done two fantastic films I love, Rango and Sponge Out Of Water. I really look forward to seeing future animated films from Nickelodeon and Paramount Animation.
Rango is a fantastic movie. It's really creative, it's edgy and has great animation and music. I definitely recommend you give Rango a watch if you haven't seen it, because it is an amazing film.
Well, that's all I have to say for this review. I might review Minions next, as that's a movie that I'm pretty excited to talk about, and I might still review Inside Out, but I'm not sure.
