Star Wars: The Bad Batch is an animated television series that acts as both a sequel and a spin-off to Star Wars: Clone Wars. It focuses on the squad known as Clone Force 99, a band of genetic enhanced clone troops.

Set during the Dark Times of the Empire’s reign, Star Wars: The Bad Batch is focused on a group of mutant clone troopers who played a key role in the Clone Wars. Their genetic mutations meant they were largely unaffected by Order 66’s inhibitor chips, ensuring they remained sympathetic heroes in the animated Disney+ TV Show. It increasingly feels like a continuation of Star Wars: Clone Wars, with Clone Force 99 unwittingly stumbling into Imperial plans for the entire clone army.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves recently released with high reviews with a 94 on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.6 out of 10 on IMDB. The Dungeons and Dragons page says the movie is about a charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers who undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic. Still, things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the legendary roleplaying game’s rich world and playful spirit to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure. The movie has an excellent plot, characters, and twists. I do really like the visuals: The displacer beast was a highlight. However, there are also many issues, such as the Tiefling druid Doric turning into an owlbear, which is a creature in the tabletop game, but druids cannot turn into them with the wild shape ability. Also, there is Edgin, the human bard, is never shown to use the incredibly powerful magic that they possess and only uses the instrument for distractions, singing, or as a weapon. The jokes were mostly funny but they didn’t have the charm of an actual D&D campaign Overall I would still recommend watching the movie because it is pretty good.

The Legend of Vox Machina was an animated TV show based on the Critical Roll D&D campaign. In the show, we follow the group of Vox Machina members, including Vaxthe half elf ranger, Vex the half-elf rogue, Keyleth the half-elf druid, Grog the goliath barbarian, Percy the human gunslinger, Pike the deep gnome cleric, Scanlan the gnome bard, and Trinket the bear (not a class, just a bear in armor). In the first season, the group attempts to take back Whiterun from the Briarwoods. In the second season they try to stop the dragon, Umbrasyl, while trying to fulfill their plan, called the Chroma Conclave, which aimed to unite five dragons and take out Tal’Dorei. All the characters are really fleshed out with backstories, growing as characters and getting redemption. Vox Machina is a show I would recommend to an older audience, if you are into or want to get into fantasy, I would definitely recommend watching it.

“ We’re getting off this island.” Imagine an emergency landing on an Island not knowing where you are and not being greeted nicely by the locals and having to fight to survive. I know if I was a passenger on the plane I would want Brodie Turrance (Gerald Butler) to be my airline captain; luckily the characters in the movie Plane have him. He does everything he can to save everyone and most importantly make sure they all get off the Island. The story starts with plane captain Brodie Torrance getting ready to fly Trailblazer Airlines Flight 119, which will carry not just regular passengers but also an FBI agent with a man in handcuffs he is taking to custody. The flight takes off, but while over the ocean, a storm forces Turrance to make an emergency landing on an unknown island. During the storm, two people–a flight attendant and the FBI agent–died, but everyone else survives. Upon investigating the island, the captain and the FBI-wanted man Louis Gaspere (Mike Colter) realize that the locals are not so welcoming and would prefer them dead. Soon the group of people left behind are found and kidnapped and the people want the captain and Louis dead for killing their men. Captain Turrance must then rescue the passengers, which he later on does. But the task is not easy. He faces many challenges with Gaspere as well as the locals, and they can’t leave until they have fixed the plane. Some background of the movie Plane is the director is Jean Francois Richet, who has won awards and is well known for being the director of Mesire Killer Instinct and One Wild Moment. The main character is Gerald Butler he is known for Olympus has Fallen and London had Fallen. The other main character is Mike Colter who is known for Marvels, Luke Cage, and Marvel’s Jessica Jones. The movie Plane was very interesting and it remind me of the 2010-2012 movie era when the storylines of most action movies went by smoothly while still building suspense. The storyline also shows viewers what the routine is for passengers and pilots and the problems that may occur when flying through a storm, crash landing, and fighting for survival. The characters are all interesting and realistic I didn’t feel the actors weren’t pushing a person on their selves they all seemed genuine about playing their roles to the fullest. One thing though is that I would have liked to have seen what that prisoner did after we took the money and went off like what did he do but overall this is an awesome action movie, that was suspenseful, and interesting and avoided unnecessary sidebars and backstories.

During the off season with Carter softball they are working out two to three times a week. Hitting and practicing also two to three times a week. They work really hard to have a good season. 

Coach Burkhart said “ I think we will have another great season with the group of girls we have”. 

The pitchers and catcher pitch two days a week with the catchers and have a little workout after to get stronger for the season, and get their arm strength up.

Earlier the cosmo class went on a field trip to different cosmo schools. One of the schools was Tennessee School of beauty. They went to TSB and one other one to see what the schools were like, they also went to the mall. Maddie Lewis that is in the class said that the field trip was fun and she really liked TSB and it seemed like a good school. TSB has been there for a long long time. This is how their cosmo trip went.  

Some sports have lots of student support. One sport that doesn’t have as much support would be softball and baseball. The past few years baseball has had more support than softball. 

Some of the softball players say they don’t have many students come unless it is siblings or anything related to that. A few games out of the season some people will come and watch. 

Baseball has had lots of support the last few years. Some people may think or say  it is because they have been good the last few years.

There are many different softball bats people and teams use. Everyone has their own opinion on bats. I personally like the Easton brand the best. One that I have mixed feelings about is the rawling bats. They are good bats, they just aren’t my favorite. 

Chromebooks have most games blocked so students can not play games during class. Students should be able to play games when they have time or are allowed too. One reason why students should be able to have games on their chromebooks is students have extra time during class or after. Another reason why games should be allowed on chromebooks is that kids get done with their work early and have nothing else to do in class. My third and final reason is sometimes teachers give students free time in class and could play games then. Some teachers would say it is a good thing that games are locked and blocked because the chromebooks are for school use and work only, not games. They also would say they should not be worried about playing games, they should be doing their work and not playing games. Students would argue that games being unlocked is okay. They could play games when they have free time or their teacher gets done teacher early or anything like that.
