Why FIFA is awesome by Leo

FIFA (by EA Sports) is probably the best game on Xbox right now. It all started with FIFA 94 and has come all the way to FIFA 15 which is supposed to come out in late September. FIFA is great because it has lots of different game modes such as: manager career mode, player career and FIFA ultimate team where you create your own team on the cheap. There is this thing called replay theatre
where you can save your replays on to and then watch them time after time. On FIFA players have ratings, for example Alexis Sanchez is 82 rated out of 99 so that means he is good; other players aren't so good and only have a rating of 56. Another reason why FIFA is great is that you can play as some of the legends of the past with classic XI an also you can play as the brilliant players of the present with world XI and some times if you don't want to do any special modes you can just play a game against each other with the teams you love.

As well as the normal FIFA games there are also FIFA Street games where you can create your own players and go on tours with them. On FIFA Street you need to use a more skilful approach than on FIFA 14 because as you're playing on the streets, it is also harder.

Why Shark Movies Are Brilliant by Jack

Shark movies are awesome because people are always getting chewed in half and having limbs severed. I like Jaws because the music makes it really scary because you can't see the shark but you know it's coming. The first Jaws is packed with suspense and goriness. My favourite bit is when the shark attacks Dr Hooper in the cage. Unfortunately the other Jaws movies were not so good with awful shark models in Jaws II, CGI that was nearly as bad as the new Star Wars movies in Jaws III and a shark that explodes by swimming into a boat in Jaws: the Revenge. 

Deep Blue Sea is another bad ass movie were scientists get stuck in their compound with bloodthirsty super smart sharks. I like the bit when Samuel L Jackson gave a great heroic speech and just after he finished he got eaten by a shark. My favourite bit is when Preacher the chef gets trapped in the oven after losing his bird to a shark in an oven which has accidentally turned on. While the shark was busting through the glass Preacher makes a hole and climbs out of the top, jumps out and with his awesome line of: "you ate my bird"  throws his lighter into the gas oven and blows the shark up. Although there was some shonky CGI the model sharks were amazing.

Me and my Dad have the pleasure of watching some other ones Such as... Sharks in Venice, (that's actually its name) Shark Attack and Ghost Shark. Dad can't wait!

It's a Family Affair...

Welcome to The Warner Corner. This is a blatant attempt by me, Dad Warner, to get my two sons, Jack and Leo, to read and write more. As both seem pretty impressed that I keep a blog (The Blog of Delights - it's great! Check it out!) I thought creating a blog where my two sons can write their own mini-posts on books and films would encourage them to read more and write more and hopefully learn to enjoy writing a little more. If all else fails, I'll stick one of my posts up from my blog.

As an English teacher, it's hard to sit in a parents' evening and hear how one of your boys doesn't like writing - in fact, he finds it absolute torture. I know how important it is for a child to have good writing skills and, with one son about to start big school and one the year after, more proactive measures seem necessary. Hopefully, if they take to this, I'll see their writing and views develop. Well, that's the hope...

Now all I have to do is entice them off FIFA 14 long enough to write something...
