The Goonies

A group of kids think of ways they can come up with money to save their houses from the rich people. The kids run upstairs in the attic to Mikey, the main boy's, dad's museum collection. While up there they find a real teasure map of the pirate Mikey's dad told stories about, One-eyed Willy. The kids go on a treasure hunt in hopes to find the treasure but they run into some criminals and booby traps along the way!

Main Characters:
                            Mikey - Sean Astin
                            Brand - Josh Brolin
                            Chunk - Jeff Cohen
                            Mouth - Corey Feldman
                            Andy - Kerri Green
                            Stef - Martha Plimpton
                            Data - Jonathon Ke Quan

The people who picked actors for the characters in this movie did a really good job. Everyone's characters were very believable and fit the parts perfectly.

The Goonies is a movie filled with laughter, terror and suspense! There are moments where you can't stop laughing, moments that you hide your eyes and moments that keep you on the edge of your seat!

I don't have a specific favorite part of this movie, anything with Chunk is my favorite part. He's thee cutest and funniest kid in the movie.

If you're looking for a good movie to watch, definitely consider The Goonies.  (:

Unusual Job-Paradise Island Caretaker

If you are employed as the Paradise Island Caretaker on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef your duties are:
                 - swim
                 - explore
                 - relax
                 - blog
The idea of this job is to do everything the resort has to offer and write a blog to promote the island and resort.

The salary of this job is definitely not minimum wage. The Paradise Island Caretaker is on a $111,000 six month contract!

Pros:
         - you are paid to have fun and relax
         - you live rent free in a three-bedroom villa with a pool
         - all your food and activities are free
Cons:
          - you don't get to be with your family or friends
          - if not use to heat you're more prone to heat stroke and sunburn

I would love to work as a paradise island caretaker. It would be good for me because  I love the heat and water and relaxing. The one thing that would be hard for me to do this job is being away from my family for six months.
