       The House With Clocks in Its Walls (release date Sept. 21, 2018) Directed by: Eli Roth is  an American film director, producer, writer and actor. He is more associated with the  horror genre. Some movies he has directed are, ‘Inglourious Basterds”, “The Green Inferno”, “Hostel”,  and “Knock Knock”. . .The House with Clocks in its Walls  is based on a juvenile fiction book in 1973 by John Bellairs. The actors that star in this movie are Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Owen Vaccaro, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Sunny Suljic and Kyle MacLachlan.
      The House with Clocks in its Walls is a very magical,  adventurous, comedy. The story follows a 10 year old boy named Lewis (Owen Vaccaro), who  loses both of his parents has to go live with his uncle Jonathan (Jack Black). After witnessing abnormal activity around the house, Lewis  eventually discovers that his uncle is a warlock.. Since Lewis doesn’t have many friends he calls on his uncle to bring to  life a wizard who turns out to be evil. The remainder of the plot deals with Jonathan and Lewis stopping the trouble they brought. They have to stop the evil wizard and his wife before they change everything from the past.
     I really enjoyed watching The House with Clocks in Its Walls because it was very entertaining.Some scenes of the movie were magical and the actors were very believable. In my opinion I think the actors did a spectacular job. I would rate this movie a B.

Taste Of Japan at The OC Fair.

    Have you ever wanted to learn about a new culture? You should go to the OC Japan Fair,  opened on October 19-21. The entrance is only $8 per person and children under 6 can get in for free. Also, people over 65 years old can get in for free too. When you enter, the first thing that's there are the food stands. The food looked amazing (sadly I didn’t get to try any food) but it smelled amazing! Also, where the food area is they do concerts where Japanese artists sing. There are many activities you can do like walking around and seeing many things about the Japanese culture.
There are many fun activities you can do such as a Japanese game called Kingyo Sukui (goldfish scooping) you can play, it's a game where you catch as many fish with a paper net and you get to keep the fish you catch until the paper net breaks. I stayed there to see other people play this game it seemed very difficult but it also seemed fun to play this game. This required for the person to be fast with the poi (paper net) before it breaks. Once you walk in you see a traditional piece of clothing called a kimono. This  kind of clothing  is used for important festivals and for formal occasions which you can purchase at the Japan Fair.
    Once you have entered the store you can start walking around and look at some Japanese things. There are many activities you can do. In the fair they also have some Japanese paintings. They do this every year. I recommend visiting for a fun time.
