Though it is rare, this sequel was spot on!

Movie Review: Hotel Transylvania 2

It's a great time for great movies! This movie happened to be a sequel of a really great movie that came out a few years ago. Hotel Transylvania was such a good movie that they decided to have the great idea of making another one (a great decision in my opinion). This movie was one of those rare times where a sequel is almost better than the original. With it's wonderful plot line, hilarious characters and a lovable baby this movie rivaled those before it!
Read ahead for more awesome reviews of this newest installment of Hotel Transylvania!

This movie was based all around the fact that Mavis (Selena Gomez) and her new hubby, Jonathan (Andy Samberg) just having their first baby. Once the news was broken to Mavis' father, Dracula (Adam Sandler) he tried very hard to get the baby, Dennis (Asher Blinkoff) to get his fangs, because he definitely could be part vampire! Mavis is worried that her father is trying too hard to get Dennis his fangs so she tells Dracula that she and Jonathan are planning on moving away so Dennis can try living with humans, since he might actually be a human. Dracula definitely does not like that plan and tricked Mavis into going on a trip with Jonathan while Dracula (along with this friends Frankenstein, Mummy, the Invisible Man, and Wayne the Werewolf) take Dennis on an adventure to get his fangs. Unfortunately, Mavis finds out, of course, and well you'll have to go see the movie to find out what happens next! But I definitely assure you, it ends with a happy ending.

This movie was full of witty humor, clever puns, and all sorts of great sly adult humor that makes the young children movie all that much better. The characters were full of character development that stemmed from the first movie, although you don't need to have seen the first movie to know what is going on in this one.

The plot definitely takes a bit of the turn for the dark as the movie really gets going and creates a ton of tense scenes that can be a little bit frightening for small children but overall those tense parts really clear up with the humor that is involved in a way that makes you forget it was stressful in the first place.

If you are into cute movies or if you are still in the Halloween spirit I definitely recommend this movie for all people of all ages. It's a great way to spend a few hours and I can guarantee you will even laugh out loud at some parts! Hotel Transylvania 2 is an excellent sequel that you will be reaching for on a cold day cuddled up under the blankets. There is no, as Dracula would say, "blah-blah-blah" about it!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
