My top 5 Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episodes

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is a '90's sitcom tv series that stared Will Smith as himself moving to Bel-Air to his uncle and aunt's house. His uncle's name is Philip, his aunt's name is Vivian and he has three cousins, Carlton, Hilary and Ashley. They also have a butler named Geoffrey. Will is trying to get a head start in life and the episodes mostly concise of some weird situation happening that Will is the cause of and the rest is just some really funny stuff happening throughout the rest. So now I 'm going to call out my top 5 favourite episodes right now.
5. Deck the Halls: Yeah, I'm starting the list with a Christmas themed episode. But I can't help it. This is a good episode. Realising that they never really celebrate Christmas, Will decides to decorate the house his own way and both him and Ashley decorate but everyone is angry because they've put up a bunch of lights and things like that and they want them to take them down. I'd say the reason I put this here is because it is full of happy Christmas spirit that does make you want to constantly watch it during the Christmas holidays. And the resolution of the episode is very satisfying and you feel something for it.
4. Courting Disasters: In this episode Will joins the school basketball team and he's fantastic at it. During the first game, he's able to do it all by himself and Carlton gets jealous. And the rest is just the next match and it failing for them at the end. Not only is this episode funny, but it also has some of the best characters in the show like Coach Smiley, Jazz and actually the team themselves are funny and likeable. They're very unique, very funny and they all get good lines to say. But on top of that, there's also another really good scene at the end game with Philip talking to Carlton and Will. The acting in this scene is very good especially from the person who plays Philip.
3. Knowledge is Power: By far, this is easily one of the funniest episodes in the show. After finding out that Hilary dropped out of school for 3 months, Will and Carlton blackmail her to do everything they say or else they'll tell Philip and Vivian. Just from that small simple plot this episode takes advantage of everything great you can do with something like this if you know what I mean. So yeah, the funniest part in this in my opinion is when Will and Carlton keep doing telling Hilary what to do. Just there, it just makes you laugh super hard. And, of course, the ending is how you would think it, Hilary eventually confesses when she gets fed up of all the stuff she's having to do. Yes, you can see it coming but it's done with plenty of laughs to keep it enjoyable.
2. Lucky Charm: After helping Philip's boss at golfing and financial advice, Will begins to say some things to him that also conveniently help him with his work so now he thinks Will is lucky and he gives him a job but Philip and Vivian try to tell Will that the boss man is crazy. And there's actually a great scene where Will goes to the boss's office and finds that what Philip and Vivian told him was right when they said to him that the boss took advice from his dog and when he died, he had him stuffed and put in his office. And when Will sees it, he screams and the way he screams and how they just sorta move on and never address it again has me cracking up with laughter every single time. But also the scenes where Will is accidentally giving the boss advice is also incredibly hilarious.
And my number 1 favourite Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode is... Homeboy, Sweet Homeboy: It was actually kinda hard to decide which episode should be my number 1 choice but I thought it should be this one. In this episode one of Will's friends from Philadelphia comes for a few days named Tray. For a while, him and Will have a hilarious time, we even hear them making really funny jokes, and then when Tray and Hilary meet each other, they strangely fall in love. And then the ending is actually a very serious and sad talk between Will and Vivian. And I'm not kidding, when I first saw the ending of this episode with the talk between Will and Tray, I actually cried. I'm not kidding. I did because it reminded me of something that went down between me and my best friend. What happened? I really don't want to talk about it. But anyway, the reason this is my favourite is not only that talk with Will and Vivian, but also because there are a lot of funny things in this episode. My favourite part is when Will and Tray are alone in the sitting room and they're just telling jokes. They're funny and there's actually a joke in this I'm really nostalgic with. It's about a pizza box. That joke always makes me laugh. Watch this trailer and you'll know what I mean.
Also, I just figured this out yesterday. Tray is actually played by Don Cheadle. Don Cheadle is the guy who plays Rhodey/War Machine in the MCU. Well... after Iron Man 1. That means they both played comic book characters. Don Cheadle plays War Machine and Will Smith is playing Deadshot in this year's Suicide Squad. But on top of that, they do make Tray funny and likable and not just some jerk like we usually see in these kind of stories. So yeah, that's my favourite Fresh-Prince of Bel-Air episode. Definitely check this show out. In my opinion, it's best to get the DVD rather than online. I've got the first 2 seasons and I really like both of them. I was actually first introduced to this show a few years ago when it was released on Nickelodeon and some other TV program. If you like the show, please comment and tell me what you think and thanks for reading.

Kung Fu Panda 3

Kung Fu Panda 3 is a movie I was very excited for as you all know. And, as you also all already know, I love the other 2 and the second one was might be one of my favourite movies of all time. So, there was a lot riding on this film. If it was a good, it would be like the 3 Toy Story movies with it being one of the best animated trilogies ever. Or if it was bad... well... it would pretty much be doomed to be a failure. So, was this movie any good? Yes. Yes it was. I don't know how I would put this. I do like it more than the first movie but I don't know if I like it more than the second. I'd say they're both either the same or the second is better. I can't choose. Also, again keep in mind for spoilers because I'm going to be talking about the whole story again. So if you don't want it spoiled, go watch it than read this review. You've been warned. What's the story? It starts of with Oogway in the spirit world fighting someone named Kai. Kai uses something called chi to steal Oogway's chi and captures him in a green thing that allows him to use him as a green covered minion. He then uses Oogway's power to escape and he come back to the spirit world. In the meantime, Po is trying to learn to be a teacher to the Furious Five. But he sucks at it. And we get a hilarious scene of him trying to teach them. That is one of the best jokes in the movie. Anyway, it then cuts to Shifu telling him about chi and how he must learn it. Then Kai arrives and sends his minions to attack the valley. We then see Po at his house and then another panda arrives and it's Po's real dad. It's also revealed that Po's real name is Lotis. Ain't that a funny name? Anyway, after a while, Po, the Furious Five and Shifu fight the minions and during the fight, the minions retreat and Shifu says Po has to learn chi to beat him. Apparently Oogway learned how to use his chi from pandas so Po's dad says he can show him but he has to come back with him to the panda village. They do and even Mr. Ping, (Po's adoptive dad) also comes. While there, Po meets all the panda there and each one has something that's funny. Back at the Jade Palace, Shifu sends Crane and Mantis to find Kai. When they do, they're transformed into green minions. They then go to the Jade Palace and Monkey and Viper are then captured while Tigress tries to go and warn Po and Shifu tries to fight Kai but he's then defeated and captured as well. Kai also destroys the palace and a huge statue of Oogway. When Tigress arrives, Po asks his dad again to teach him chi but then he says he doesn't know chi and that he was lying just to get Po to come so he wouldn't lose him again. Po gets angry and begins to train to fight Kai. Tigress and him talk and she manages to snap him out of being angry. He then gets the idea to train the other pandas to fight Kai. He then gets an idea to use the Wuxi finger hold on him but he needs to be close enough to do it. In case you don't know what the Wuxi finger hold is, just watch the first movie and you'll know. To make a long story short, it sends people to the spirit world, which is where Oogway and Kai were at the beginning of the movie. During the fight Po tries to use it on him but it doesn't work because it only works on mortal creatures and Kai isn't mortal. He's a spirit-thingy. Po then grabs Kai around the neck and uses the move on himself and both of them are sent there. The others then use their chi and give Po power and he gets a pretty awesome form cool clothes and cool dragon thing. With it, he beats Kai and sets everyone free. Before he returns though, he talks to Oogway and even gets a cool staff. And the movie ends with Po teaching chi to everyone in the village at the Jade Palace. So yeah, it's a little hard to say what I thought without talking about the rating of this in compared to the other 2. Like I said before, I would probably say it's better than the first movie but it's kinda hard to say that it's better than the second. I would say the same in terms of quality. Now the stuff I liked. Firstly, the characters are still likeable and funny just like we left them. Po is still my favourite for being his usual hungry, funny self. The story is also interesting and it's cool to see Po actually trying to be a teacher for once. And Kai is a cool villain. He's not better than Shen, but he still is menacing and he does have some funny stuff every now and then. On top of that, the animation guys. The animation is just perfect. The second movie is some of DreamWorks' best work ever and it definitely broke some new ground with what they did. How they managed to outdo that, I have no idea. First off, the textures are all so life like, especially the animals. They do feel like they're actually real. But, the best part of the animation out of all of it, is the action scenes. The choreography of the fight scenes are just amazing. The best one being the last one in the Spirit Realm. There's also new forms of it like hand-drawn, which by the way is incredible with how they show it with a few things happening at once. So yeah, this is a great movie and definitely check it out if you're a fan of the first 2 like me. Or really just check it out if you think that it's great which it is.

So yeah, I'm going to be doing stuff like this for a while. After this one, it's going to be a DC villain one and then I'm going to do different things with it like SpongeBob, Chowder and a few others. One of the reasons is because I want to. And the other is because I'm running out of ideas for entries again. When I see Batman V Superman, I'm going to do a review for that and the other comic book movies this year.
