My Thoughts on the 2023 Kids' Choice Awards

       Hey guys, Chuck here, and while John Campea and his crew are gearing up for the Oscars next Sunday, I had much more fun watching the 2023 Kids' Choice Awards on Nickelodeon. The show was this evening and there were lots of blimps, lots of laughs, and, of course, lots of slime. Yep, this was a fun night, so let's talk about it. 

       Okay, so a lot of great movies were up for awards tonight, with the likes of Avatar: The Way of Water, Black Adam, Jurassic World Dominion, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Top Gun: Maverick all up for the award for Favorite Movie. And who won the orange blimp? Well, the big winner was Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Yep, Sonic took home the blimp for Favorite Movie, which made me very happy. The Favorite Animated Movie winner was Minions: The Rise of Gru. Dwayne Johnson won two awards for Favorite Movie Actor and Favorite Male Voice in an Animated Movie. Other actors who won include Millie Bobby Brown and Selena Gomez for Enola Holmes 2 and Hotel Transylvania: Transformania, respectively. 

       Television was also honored tonight, as shows like SpongeBob, MasterChef Junior, The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, and Wednesday won orange blimps. Actors like Joshua Bassett, Olivia Rodrigo, Finn Wolfhard, and Jenna Ortega also took home awards for Television Acting. 

       Music stars, including the likes of Dove Cameron, Bella Poarch, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa, and BTS all took home orange blimps. Heck, Taylor Swift took home two, one for Favorite Female Artist and one for Favorite Album, as did Harry Styles for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Global Music Star. 

       Other awards, of course, included MrBeast winning Favorite Male Creator, Charli D'Amelio winning Favorite Female Creator, LeBron James for Favorite Male Sports Star, Serena Williams for Favorite Female Sports Star, Ninja Kidz TV for Favorite Social Media Family, Olivia Benson Swift for Favorite Celebrity Pet, Minecraft for Favorite Video Game, and Harry Potter for Favorite Book. 

      Adam Sandler was honored tonight as King of Comedy. And, while I'm not the biggest fan of Adam Sandler, I have enjoyed his movies from time to time, with Mr. Deeds probably being my favorite Adam Sandler movie. Optimus Prime from the Transformers was also honored tonight with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Honestly, there aren't many fictional characters that deserve Lifetime Achievement Awards, but Optimus Prime has entertained multiple generations, and he definitely deserves it. But, then again, so do Superman and Batman. 

      And, what's really neat is we had some sneak peek at some upcoming movies, including an exclusive clip from the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, first looks at both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Monster High 2, and so forth, were definitely really neat. 

        But, of course, it's not the Kids' Choice Awards without celebrities getting slimed, a lot of them did. Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Bebe Rexha, Dwayne Johnson (by his own daughters), Adam Sandler, Melissa McCarthy (in a dunk tank full of slime. Nice touch), the four lead stars of the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and so forth. And, I really loved seeing WWE Superstars Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Montez Ford, Xavier Woods, and Big E compete in a tug of war with a  WWE fan (who was set up with tickets for the upcoming WrestleMania). That was really cool. Live music performances by Bebe Rexha, Young Dylan, and Lil' Baby were definitely great. Honestly, better performances than Rihanna at the Super Bowl, am I right? Heh, I kid, I kid. 

      Overall, this year's Kids' Choice Awards were tons of fun. I laughed, I cheered, and I had a blast when the nominees I wanted to see win took home the orange blimps. Kudos to hosts Nate Burleson and Charli D'Amelio for doing such a great job. I absolutely loved this year's Kids' Choice Awards, and I'm glad I watched it. Anyway guys, this is Chuck signing off, and I'll see you guys on Monday with my review of the 2009 video game Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Review - The Thundermans Return (2024)

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Last night, I watched the new movie The Thundermans Return on Nickelodeon, and I have a few thoughts on it. For those who don't know what The Thundermans was, it was a Nickelodeon sitcom that ran from 2013 through 2018, and focused on a family of superheroes known as, well, the Thundermans. The show was okay, at least the episodes I happened to catch when it was on, but after seeing a lot of the advertising for this movie, I was genuinely tempted to check it out. So, here's my review of the new Nickelodeon movie The Thundermans Return.           So, the movie starts off with the Thunderman family, who since the end of the series have moved to the city of Metroburg, and are fighting crime as the superhero team the T-Force. And, something worth noting is that the family has aged in real time, so we see that Phoebe and Max are now adults, Nora and Billy are high schoolers, and Chloe is a middle schooler. Unfortunately, after a mission gone awry due to

Review - Ocean's Eleven (2001)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Back in the 1960's, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and the rest of the Rat Pack teamed up and made a movie called Ocean's 11 , which told the story of a military veteran named Danny Ocean, who teams up with his fellow squad members to rob a number of casinos in Las Vegas. It was definitely a product of the time, and is actually a really fun movie. Seeing Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and the Rat Pack on screen together is just genuinely fun.        In 2001, producer Jerry Weintraub and director Steven Soderbergh would bring together a fantastic cast to tell a more modern version of the Rat Pack classic, and that's the movie we're talking about today. This is my review of the 2001 Steven Soderbergh film Ocean's Eleven starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, and Julia Roberts, along with the likes of Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle, Eddie Jemison, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner, and

Review - Night at the Museum (2006-2014)

          Hey guys, Chuck here, and after reviewing Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon, I needed something of a pallette cleanser. And, thus, I'm taking a look at the Night at the Museum trilogy, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ben Stiller, Rami Malek, Mizuo Peck, Ricky Gervais, Patrick Gallagher, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, and Robin Williams, with additional cast members throughout the series including the likes of Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Carla Gugino, Bill Cobbs, Charlie Murphy, Jake Cherry, Amy Adams, Bill Hader, Hank Azaria, Jon Bernthal, Christopher Guest, the Jonas Brothers, Dan Stevens, Skyler Gisondo, Rebel Wilson, and Ben Kingsley.          So, the first Night at the Museum was released in 2006, and focuses on struggling entrepreneur Larry Daley, who ends up getting a job as the new overnight security guard at the Museum of Natural History, taking over for the older guards Cecil, Reginald, and Gus. Larry also befriends one of the daytime staff, Rebecca, and has a few r
