Concussion Movie Review
By: Cam Benke
I think the movie Concussion is a movie that is making kids want to quit the amazing game of football. In the movie they make it sound like every time you get hit in football you're going to get a concussion. Now I've been playing tackle football for three years and have gotten hit probably more than a lot of people, playing quarterback. And not once have I gotten any head injury or any kind of concussion. If anything you're more likely to get injured in your arms and legs then your head anyway. In conclusion I think this movie is influencing kids who watch it not to play football.

Top 10 Basketball Players of 2016
By: Jake Schaefer
10.) Paul George- After the gruesome broken leg he suffered, he earned the nickname PG-13. In the 15-16 season he carried the Indianapolis Pacers. He averaged 23.6 points per game, 4.2 assists, and 7 rebounds per game. There is much more to see from PG-13.

9.) Damian Lillard- This starting point guard for the Portland Trailblazers has been a good player his whole career, and it’s only his 4th season. This season he averaged 25.1 points per game, 6.8 assists, and 4 rebounds per game.
8.) Lebron James- Many of you are thinking why one of the greatest of all time is at #8. Lebron just isn’t in his prime anymore. Although he is a great all around player and he can play all positions, there are better players than him right now. This season he averaged 24.9 points per game, 6.6 assists per game, and 7.4 rebounds per game. As you can see, Lebron is still a great player, he can just be better.
7.) Kyle Lowry- This point guard for the Toronto Raptors is an all around guard. He can pass, drive, shoot, he can do it all. This season he has been very good. Although he averaged 21.7 points per game, he has made up with is by averaging 8.5 assists per game. Kyle Lowry has improved a lot since last season and that's a fact.
6.) Draymond Green- The Power Forward for the Golden State Warriors is a key part to their big three. He is part of a championship winning team. Playing with 2 time MVP Steph Curry, alongside his splash brother Klay Thompson, has helped him grow and learn more basketball skills. Draymond has averaged only 13.5 points per game, but have an average of 7.4 assists, and 9.6 rebounds per game. As you can see, Draymond is needed on this championship team.
5.) DeMarcus Cousins- This Center for the Sacramento Kings is a beast. He has lead this team to an alright record but his averages are crazy, he averaged, 27.3 points per game and 11.5 rebounds per game! The Center is a complete beast.
4.) Kawhi Leonard- This Small Forward for the San Antonio Spurs is a great player. He averaged 20.8 points per game, and 6.8 rebounds. Bue he is a great defensive player. He won defencive player of the year in 2015 and 2016. He is a good offensive player and a good defencive player.
3.) Kevin Durant- Also known as KD, this Small Forward for the Oklahoma City Thunder won the MVP in 2014. He still has got the skills and you will be able to see so. This season he averaged 28.1 points per game, 4.8 assists per game, and 8.3 rebounds per game.
2.) Russell Westbrook- This Point Guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder is a super good all around guard. He averaged 24.1 points per game, 10.5 assists per game, 7.4 rebounds per game. He also averaged 2.1 steals per game. As you can see, this player could MVP.
1.) Stephen Curry- I’m pretty sure many of you have heard of this player. He is a scoring legend. People are saying that he could be the greatest scorer ever. This season he was the only one to average over 30 points per game. He averaged 30.4 points per game, 6.6 assists per game, and his 3 point percentage was 45.9%. That mean the is a 45.9% that he will make the 3 pointer. He also won the MVP of 2015 and 2016. As you can see, Steph deserves to be #1.
Jungle Book Movie Review
By: Amanda Revolinski
I believe that the “ The Jungle Book” was not as good as the original movie and book. To start with, the new movie had more violence and it made it not kid friendly, also it didn’t have all the original songs. Second of all, the ending was extremely different from the original movie and book, which was ok but not the world’s best. Last of all, the characters are more accurate to the real animals, not that it’s bad but it just is just not as good as the original. That is why I believe that “ The Jungle Book” is not as good as the original movie and book.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
By: Meghan Kohl
In many cases, which this one is, the book was better than the movie. In the start of the book Harry Potter starts off at the Dursley’s. Then the Weasley’s invite Harry to come with him to the Quidditch World Cup and stay with them the rest of the holiday. Which involves a funny scene with them coming to get Harry. In the movie Harry has a bad dream and wakes up at the Weasley’s. They then go straight to the Quidditch World Cup. But do not play out the match! In the book they play out the match. Also Dobby helps Harry with the Gillyweed instead of in the movie, Neville helps him. The same scenario when Dobby finds the Room of Requirement in the Order of Phoenix book which is number 5 in the series.

Review on Subway
By: Cassandra Antonson
Subway is a create your own sub sandwich restaurant.There is so many creations and different varieties of sandwiches you can make, and believe it or not there are options for everybody. In addition to the meats and fish and veggies and cheeses there are that you can put on, you can also choose your own bread. They have breads any where from flatbread to italian herbs and cheese bread. Also, if you do not like your sandwich cold then there is always the option to toast it. Of course if you don’t like sandwiches, you're probably thinking that why does she say that there is options for everybody when I don’t like any kind of sandwich. Besides sandwiches they also have soup, pizzas, and much more. That is why Subway is amazing.
Crown Candy Review
By Lily Foster
The Crown Candy restaurant is located in St. Louis, Missouri. I recently took a family trip there and that is the first place we went to. Crown Candy is a restaurant that doubles as a candy store. When we went our table was located closest to the kitchen so we could smell the delicious aroma of everything they were cooking. The waiters and waitresses were very nice there and they treated their customers with a lot of respect. If I ever go to St. Louis again, I am definitely going back to the Crown Candy.
Review on Taco Bell
By: Ruby Zollin
Taco bell is a fast food restaurant company that was founded in Downey, California and founded by Glen Bell. They sell popular tex-mex foods specializing in burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and nachos. Taco bell serves over ⅓ of the world's population per year!
My opinion on Taco Bell is great. I love their tacos and it’s one of my top cravings. I do think they should get orders right more often due to my past experiences. The employees of Taco Bell are friendly and I never have to wait over 5 minutes for my food to be done. Overall I would give a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
Some evidence to my rating would be for example, Taco Bell’s food isn’t gross and flat like Mcdonald's for example. If you are in a rush and you’re very hungry Taco Bell will treat you with a delicious burrito through the drive thru. Their timing is fantastic for instance, let's say that you order a to go meal with a taco, chips, and a soda no doubt about it that it will be hot and ready within 3-5 minutes. There is also a downside to this timely manner, occasionally Taco Bell is known for mixing up orders probably due to time. In the end the workers are very nice about the situation.
What I suggest you to do you may ask is go out and buy some Taco Bell. If Mexican food isn’t really your thing there are still other options like desserts and just a good salad. It’ll be fast and friendly and your food will most likely be flavorful! If I were you I would go get some scrumptious Taco Bell, trust me it won’t disappoint you.

Review on Doughboys Pizza Place
By: Maggie Davis
Doughboys Pizza is a new pizza place in Cottage Grove, WI. The address is 447 W. Cottage Grove Rd. I really enjoy the pizza there along with many other people. Some good reviews of Doughboys Pizza Place are that the pizza has a very good texture. Some bad reviews of Doughboys Pizza Place are that the pricing is way too expensive. The reason they put in a Doughboys Pizza Place is because throughout that whole location in that strip mall there have always been pizza places. Doughboys Pizza now serves lunch and opens up at 11a.m at the Cottage Grove location. Overall, I think that Doughboys Pizza Place is a great new addition to Cottage Grove.
Review: Ginza of Tokyo
By: Adeline Dean
My review is on a place known as Ginza of Tokyo, but in japan and tokyo they called it The Hibachi. It is a restaurant located all over the world. They serve food such as sea food, jamaican food, japanese food, and it many more of those topics. It has private rooms, and open tables you can sit at. It recently closed down to a move, but they have some still in sun prairie. I really liked this place because it was a fun experience for me, you get deeper into the culture of the japanese and it is a great place for birthdays. It is also a great place because it means a lot to me because i am part jamaican and it connects me to the restaurant and i recommend this to people who like different culture food and watching entertainment while you eat. This is why i recommend this place to many people.

Daddy’s Home Movie Review
By: Brock Drake
I am doing a review on the movie Daddy's Home . This movie was recommended to me by some friends. Daddy’s Home is rated PG-13 and is comedy movie. This movie was a really great movie to watch. The plot of this movie is that two dads (Will Ferrell and Mike Wahlberg) are competing to be the best dad to their two children. They are competing against each other and most of the time the same dad loses. For example, one dad was trying to show how well he could ride a motorcycle and ended up driving it into the wall. He also almost died trying to show the kids how well he was at skateboarding. He ended up hitting the phone lines and getting electrocuted. The same dad keeps losing at these events when he tries to show off. In the end the dads finally get along and resolve their problems and they get along better. This movie was a great movie and I would recommend it to kids who like comedy movies.

Review on Clash Royale
By: Hayden VanLanen
The game “Clash Royale” is a game on mobile devices that allows you to battle people in real time with troops. The game was created by Supercell, a game making company. It is the 27th best rated game in the App Store. I think that this is a great game. It has lots of fun things about it like different arenas you try to get to. You also get chests. The chests vary. There was just an update on Tuesday, May 3. It added new cards and other things too. It’s fun also because you can say things to the people or show that you're mad. Most people have given it 4 ½ stars for rating. Almost all of the good cards are hard to get. All in all it’s a great game.

Curfew: Do We Need One
By: Alex Buss
Curfews can be annoying, and limiting. But is it right for a village to have one. First off the parents should be able to decide for their son or daughter because it's their child. Not the villages. Yet with a village or town curfew it could possibly be more of a relaxed place at night. But think about it, would people actually obey the curfew? We think not. Overall would it help the area in any way? Would it have any affect on how kids do in school? It probably wouldn’t change a thing except stress people out.

A Step Above Dance Studio
By: Maura Phillips
If you have a passion for dance, you are going to want to find a good place to let out your emotions, and learn new things. A Step Above Dance, is easily placed in Monona, and has good lessons with great teachers. They have classes for kids in preschool, to kids in highschool.
A Step Above is the right place to go for any type of dance that you might like. The teachers take time with each kid, to show them what to do if they get a move or a step wrong. The service is amazing all the way through, and it is really worth your money.
New kids each year, end up loving the fun times with their friends,
and cool dance combinations they can show off to their family. You don’t need to be a girl, or a dancer to be in the academy. Ballet has been proven to improve balance throughout all different types of sports. One boy in an all girl hip-hop class said, “I am definitely doing this next year.”
It’s a great chance for kids to express their emotions, and have fun. Looking for a good place to go whether for school, or a good sports team, it gets pretty tough. But, when looking for somewhere to dance, A Step Above Dance is the right place to go. Come down and try out a class, maybe even fall in love.
Ghostbusters (1984) Review
By: Benson Wood
Ghostbusters is a film released in 1984 about 3 scientists and one average guy, hunting and trapping the paranormal in New York. It was written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, directed by Ivan Reitman, and has been a personal favorite movie of mine since I was 6. I have seen the movie multiple times and done lots of research on it. It stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, and Sigourney Weaver making up the main cast. The movie is a horror-comedy duo. On movie critic websites, it averages about about 87% out of 100.
Even though I adore this movie, it still has its weak points. While speaking about real paranormal/biblical activities that occurred in real life, Dan Aykroyd repeatedly confuses and switches numbers and dates. There are multiple continuity errors in the film, including visible crewmen and stage lighting, scenes early on showing the end of the movie, and so on.
On the other hand, the actors were wonderful. Bill Murray was hilarious as he pranced around on screen. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis did a very well job on their performance as scientists investigating the paranormal. Ernie Hudson obviously had known how to really be an average New Yorker, as his performance was very authentic. Rick Moranis’ nerdy/outcast character in this movie brought hilarity into situations usually deemed awkward.
In a simple summary, 3 Scientists get kicked out of the college they are being funded from for a lack of evidence and research. They sell some of their properties and start a business, solely based on catching ghosts. Their first client, Dana Barrett, ends up having a god from another dimension possessing her apartment building. As the movie continues, Dana’s situation gets worse, and the Ghostbusters get more popular. This attracts EPA attention, and this results in chaos around the city. The ghostbusters end up being the only people who can stop the god, and attempt to do so.
If I were you, I would give it a watch. Although their are some continuity errors in this film, I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 on my rating scale.

Terraria Review
Zach Blotz
The game Terraria is a fun, 2d sandbox game. People always say it is a Minecraft ripoff, but that is not the case. First off, Minecraft is 3d, a huge difference. Plus, if I were to record all of the items,potions, blocks, accessories, weapons, armor, enemies, bosses, and invasion events, I might be able to fill an entire dictionary! Minecraft, on the other hand has maybe only about 100-200 items, and only 2 bosses. Terraria has 29(not including mini-bosses)! Terraria has hours(and hours and hours) of fun in it, so it shouldn’t be overlooked.
My Opinion On Red Robin
By: Brianna Back
Red robin is a very popular place to go to for lunch or dinner. Whenever I go to Red Robin to eat I would always get there milkshakes. Their milkshakes are very delicious and are topped with whipped cream and sprinkles on top. They also have a normal sized milkshake or a monster size milkshake that is very filling you are barely hungry for your main course. Red Robin restaurants are all over the United States and can find them in any city where you are located at. Red robin has some great burgers with anything you want on it. When I go there I normally get there bacon cheeseburger because it's so good to have the bacon and cheese together in one burger. You can also get other foods besides burgers or you could get a different kind of drink too. They have all sorts of different foods like mac and cheese,chicken sandwiches,or even salads. They also have a lot of appetizers to pick from if you are extra hungry. They have fried pickles,onion rings, and salsa and chips. I would probably get the salsa and chips because those are the most filling and very delicious. My opinion on Red Robin restaurant is it is a very delicious restaurant to go to when you are feeling hungry.
Movie Review - The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
By: Anabelle Vesperman
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a popular movie that originated from the well-known book author, John Boyne. It follows the short life of a young boy who lives in Nazi Germany, Bruno, whose father works for Adolf Hitler. In the beginning, Bruno moves to a new town (Auschwitz) with his family and ventures out exploring the environment. While exploring, he approaches a concentration camp where many people, including an eight year old boy, Shmuel, are wearing striped pajamas. Bruno then befriends Shmuel and they enjoy having fun together, even though they are separated by an electric fence. Shmuel then asks Bruno if he will help him find his father, so Bruno dresses in striped pajamas and crawls under the fence, disguised as a member of the concentration camp. In the end, both Shmuel and Bruno die due to being horrifyingly killed in a gas chamber with others in the terrifying camp. Overall, the movie was very accurate to the book and was very well-acted and played. This movie is great for anyone who enjoys book to movie adaptations, wants to learn more about the Hitler time period, or is interested in historical fiction movies. This amazing movie included great scenes, wonderful detail, and intriguing dialogue. If you enjoyed this movie, like me, you may also enjoy Come and See, The Pawnbroker, or the Grey Zone. I loved this movie, so therefore I believe all middle school, and high school students should watch it to become more educated on the topic of Adolf Hitler and his effects on others.
Starbucks Review
By Aurora Hines
When you walk into the Starbucks inside the Eastside Target you immediately smell coffee brewing. In the seating area, there is Target themed furniture. The people are overall nice who work there. I am definitely going there again. It is conveniently located to the left when you walk into Target and the coffee is very high-quality and worth your money. If you want to work on homework or go on your computer, you can take a seat at a table and relax. There is even food there if you would like a snack with your coffee or smoothie. So come on down to the Eastside Target and relax and drink your coffee.
All Star Converse
By: Elizabeth Stammen
All star converse or chucks have been around for along time infact they have been around since 1908. Many people have converse young and old, they are one of the most popular shoe types out there. They provide their customers with many different color options, styles, and sizes. They are made for every one you can find them in the kids section, womens, mens, and even babies. I purchased the white converse, which you have most likely seen before. I would definitely recommend getting a pair. They are very comfortable and very breathable, they also add an amazing touch to your style. Even better the price is great for such a good quality shoe, only costing around $49.99 for a women's pair. These shoes also last for a very long time, though they may get a little dirty but they sell cleaners for them so don’t fret. This is the third pair of converse I have had and I am still wearing the others too. So that shows that they are definitely an awesome quality shoe, take long time for them to wear out, and are very comfy. Overall I give converse shoes a 5/5! I also definitely recommend these if you're looking for a new pair of shoes, because with all their choices you're sure to find one that suits you.!
Twilight
By: Camille Simmons
From sparkling vampires to brave werewolves, Twilight is a drama that is constantly being debating. It tells the tale of 17 year old Bella Swan, and follows her as she moves to live with her father. It continues like this for a while before it starts to take a turn. She is soon thrown into a battle, and one that she might not escape alive. This well written saga is commonly thought to be trash, and this may true due to the fact not all of the characters are sound in the head. This, in addition to the fact the story is pretty sexist, plays a big role in how people have judged the book. Then again, Twilight is not a story for people who like a ton of adventure or horror, I believe it was written more for the romantic side of people. As well as anyone who likes teenage werewolves and vampires.
