The Secret Life of Pets Movie Review! + My Thoughts!

                 Today, as you saw in the title, I am going to provide you guys with information, and there are no spoilers. We saw the movie in Bow Tie Cinemas. First, I will start with the trailer (official trailer) for The Secret Life Of Pets.

Now that you saw or chose not to see the trailer, I shall begin with a short introduction for the main characters:

Max:

This is the character that causes all the trouble in the movie. He was first found by a girl named Katie:



She is the carer for Max and Duke.

Speaking of Duke, hear he is:



This is the dog that made Max unhappy and jealous of. They at first were very unfriendly to each other.

One of  the villains of the movie is the white rabbit:



So basically, the main idea is that two dogs named Max and Duke get lost, at first in the sewers, and then in Connecticut. They encounter many problems such as Snowball's (the bunny) minions and they want to get home. A rescue team (made of Mel:

, Buddy:

, and
Chloe:)


Oh wait! I forgot the birdy:



formed by the white female dog, Gidget, sets out to find Max. In the end, Snowball and his minions team up with Max and the rescue team and they look something like this:



My thoughts about this movie? I think it is an awesome movie, and I recommend this movie to pet owners! If you don't have a pet, I recommend them to you too! It highlights humorous aspects and it inspires teamwork! It is quite an epic movie made for everybody of all ages! My favorite part of the movie is this:



Ok, I put two of the same images on this post.

Overall, I rate this movie:



Four and a half stars! Here are some reviews made by other people:

Here's something dog people and cat people can agree on: "The Secret Life of Pets" is hilarious, sweet and fun.

By New York Daily News

An affable adventure with a strong voice cast. What it lacks in originality, it claws back with strong visual gags and a witty script.

By Empire

The Secret Life of Pets is adequate animated entertainment, amusing while it lasts but not especially memorable except as a catalog of compromises and missed opportunities.

By The New York Times

And that sums up the entire review, so, BUH - BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Today's Funny Picture

Arca: Leaving for Turkey!

I will be leaving for Turkey later today. I will not be able to post that much for three weeks. I will be back on August 20th. 

I will go to Bodrum on the first week. They have a great beach. I will be staying at a big resort. The second week, I will be in Ankara, the capital city. My mom's side of the family lives there. On the final week, I will be in Gurun. I will see my dad's side of the family there. Please be aware that on the final week I will most likely not be able to post at all. 

It is a 10 hour airplane ride to an airport in Istanbul. Once I am there, I will not stay long. I will go on another plane to Bodrum, then go on a bus ride to the resort. See you guys in Turkey. For now, I guess this means BBYYYYYYYYYEEE!!!

Play A Game!

This is a game I made on Code.org and you can play it too! The goal is to get to create a stormtrooper army.(warning: it might lag when you start getting to the higher scores!) You have to get a lot of points and you have a choice of posting it on comments! Here is the link to my game:

https://studio.code.org/c/243267351

In this game, I got about 20,000 points before stopping.

And here is the link to code.org if you want to make games too!

https://code.org/learn

There are lots of different modes!

Also, I found out that as soon as I release the new post it gets one view after a few minutes or seconds. It's either Arca or somebody else in the world. I have also noticed that the amount of views per day has increased by a lot, lets say by about 20 views or so! BIG IMPROVEMENT! This is great news and I hope it continues. Now, for a really long, BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

CONGRATS!!! WE GOT TO 5,000! CELEBRATION + FUNNY PICTURES + S?E?C?R?E?T P?R?O?J?E?C?T!!! 3 in 1!

           Guess what guys? We reached the goal of 5,000 views! WOOHOO!! This is a celebration post to celebrate the achieving of getting to 5,000 views! My next goal will be 10,000 views!

          

           
                 First of all, I will tell you a "behind the scenes" story. When I was only 8, I wANted to make a WEBSITE! I never knew Arca had a blog, I never knew he had a Youtube Channel, and I never knew he had a Google + account. When I made my first blog, it looked like this:

         
It was horrible and I didn't know how to do anything!



           I became friends with Arca. I remembered that website I used and it was Blogger. A little bit of info that helped me remeber was when Arca was talking about Blogger and his blog. That's when I went home and went on that website. I needed a little help from my mom for the basics and soon got the hang of it! Soon enough, it was buffing with posts!




        For the past months, many things have changed! The URL changed from hoohaahoohaa.blogspot.com to techxian.blogspot.com! The title changed from "Hey Everybody" to "A Life's Blog!" to "A Life's Blog With Friends!" and then to the final result, "Past, Now, Future".

           The reason why I stuck with "Past, Now, Future" was because on my blog, there posts in the past, posts in the present, and posts talking about what will happen sometime in the furture!



             For a behind the scenes for the title, I used cooltext.com. Here is the home page:

   
The logo I used was Epic Stone:



The color for the outline I used was frost green 02.

The other one was gold color. The insides. I used Star Craft font too! You can also change the texture! I changed mine to the lightning storm texture!



           If you want to have a better title or font, use Cooltext! (There are some advertisements on there, but overall, it is a website I always use when creating a project or something!) That is the end of the above section, so now I will start!



           I am very proud of what I have made. I have many thanks to my family members! My grandpa, grandma, and my other grandma have "given" me many ideas to post on my blog even though they can't speak English fluently.




            I also have to give me a shout out to my parents and brother! My mom and dad have also given me ideas and I thank them for allowing me to use the computer to blog and I have special thanks to my mom who helped a little in the beginning!!! Without them, this blog wouldn't have been so good! Lastly, thumbs up for my brother too! He is always interested in my posts and has officially become a "Past, Now, Future" member/editor/administrator. He even has an account which is called "Liang Meng"



            Next of all, I would like to give a shout out to the official members of the "Past, Now, Future" blog! Those people include Arca Baran, Kevin Lui (A.K.A kk kklastname), and Liang Meng. Arca Baran has been helping me on this blog since a week after I created my blog! i thank him for posting some posts that are on his blog and some that are original! even though problems sometimes come, we somehow solve it! He is also my best friend! I have known him since first grade!



            Kevin is also one of my friends, and he is in fourth grade! Even though he doesn't post that much, he takes care of things I can't do when I am busy! Therefore, if I missed posting something, Kevin will take my place and start typing! He helped me with the band concert post which was a big help since I was really busy that day!



              Lastly, my brother just joined my blog, and I appreciate the Journal he has worked on for the whole school year!

              These people are help me on my blog everyday, or once every while!

            However, the most important people are...



You people are the viewers, the people who helped me get to 5,000 views! You guys are the most important and are the cause to this post!!!! I thank you guys very much because:
