2 Page 2 Rental Review Here s this week s movie review. The only movie I saw this week was the Three Stooges, with Moe, Larry, and Curly. The movie was good and funny. They throw pies at each other and Moe finds out that their friends were born with nuns. We had some good weather all the time in September. For October, the weather is going to be hot outside. Be ready next week Larry and Curly try to get money for the nuns. I love The Three Stooges and I own this movie at home. At the end of the movie, Moe gets a job with his friends. I love movies and this movie is so very funny. Movie Review when it is supposed to get very hot and sunny. Topic of the Month Hi, this is Clayton Malik Hauer, with your topics for the month of October, since there are now only 3 more months left in The month of October is the scariest month of the year. But it s also the start of the holiday season with Halloween; and since movies such as The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises came out, they broke old box office records and set new box office records. The most popular costumes this Halloween, while children are out Trick- Or-Treating, will most likely be Captain America, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Black Widow, Black Struck, and the Norse God Thor. Thor was the God of Thunder and Lightning in Norse mythology and for whom we have named the fifth day of the week Thursday, or Thor s Day. Most of the male children will most likely be dressed just like The Dark Knight himself or Batman, and to all of you children that will be out Trick Or Treating this Halloween night, please be safe. I ll see you next month! Theresa Moons Heather Birch Clayton Hauer
