Reviews: Despicable Me 2

Today, I saw Despicable Me 2. Despicable Me 2 is one of the greatest movies of all time. A sequel to Despicable Me, The Minions are pretty much the same, hilarious minions that they were in the first movie. My favorite thing about the Minions is how they are constantly smacking each other and blowing raspberry and laughing. The 2nd movie starts with a birthday party for Gru's youngest daughter, Agnes. The scene fades, and gives a preview to later parts of the story. Meanwhile, Gru has given up his life of evil to become a Jelly and Jam producer. Sounds lame, right? WRONG! Gru only produces Jelly for the first few parts of the story, until kidnapped by the league against villains. It turns out, Someone else is evil, and has stolen a syrum that overtakes whoever becomes a victim to it. Worst of all, this person kidnaps almost half of the Minions and injects them. Gru takes a while to notice that half of his minions were missing, as he was entirely focused on something else. First of all, Margo was now dating someone, and Gru did not appreciate that his girl was dating someone. Second of all, Gru was assigned an undercover mission, and was assigned a partner. Their goal was to find out who took the syrum. They find someone who has traces of the syrum, and that man is arrested. However, the true criminal is actually someone else. I will not tell you this someone, because you need to see it yourself. One of my favorite scenes in the entire movie is actually shown in most of the tailors. Gru becomes angry, and starts a fire. Minions Burst into the room with fire extinguishers and hoses. The last minion enters with lights on his head yelling BEE-DO over a megaphone. The minions have some difficulties putting out the fire, and Gru takes the Megaphone. after losing the megaphone, the victim continues his BEE-
DO. Annoyed, another victim sprays him with a Fire Extinguisher. If I had to rate the movie, it would receive 5 stars out of 5 available. The movie was funny, and friendly for everyone.

Atlanta Braves face off. Against Miami in a tight game

Very intense game today in the MLB as the Atlanta Braves face off against the notorious Miami Marlins. The Braves had an amazing early start by scoring 3 times in the first inning and taking the lead 3-0. The Marlins were not out of the game though as they score one time 3 innings in a row to tie the score at 3 each. The score stayed the same until the ninth inning when the Marlins scored one run to take the lead and the Braves couldn't capitalize. The final score was 3-4 Miami. Despite the loss, spirits remained high as Turner Field hosts one of the best Independence Day celebrations in the world. Fireworks synced with music and the longest and most colorful display I had ever seen. I would recommend going to a braves game any day, but would strongly recommend going on a Friday if you like fireworks. Happy Independence Day!

Georgia Aquarium

So today I go to visit the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. While there was exhibits that I found interesting, I was not impressed with the Aquarium. For starters, the crowd was larger than it should have been. There were so many people that you couldn't even see the exhibits. The employees were very snobby. One employee yelled at my aunt about going the wrong way in the line. My biggest problem was the mass amount of people that were there. The Dolphin show that was at the aquarium was okay but it was rather short and involved the same things multiple times in a row. The effects were interesting. I would not recommend going to the Georgia Aquarium during summer vacation. If you are going to go, go during the school year.
