In a week, I am going to turn 16 years old. I am so excited about my birthday. But for now let me talk about some of the best things that happened when I was 15:
-I started this blog.
-I went to Comic-Con for the first time.
-I went to see Monty Python at the theater.
-I also went to see Muppets Most Wanted, Maleficent, The Hobbit, and Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day at the theater (dang that's a long title!)
-I got my Wii U.
-I got the new Smash Bros. game and two Amiibos.
-I got to spend the night at my Aunt's house several times.
-I went to the National Underground Railroad Museum and had a great time.
-I got to go to Acting Class again and was the Narrator in a play called "The Three Gallant Sisters".
I had a great year when I was 15, and let's just hope my 16th birthday doesn't go anything like this:

Comic-Con 2015
I hear that there is going to be another Comic-Con close to where I live that I am really forward to going to. It is going to be much bigger than the last one and have a lot of people I would like to meet. Firs off we have Verne Troyer, who plays Mini-Me in Austin Powers. For those who are unaware, Austin Powers is a comedy movie that parodies James Bond and other similar movies and adds lots of crude, off-color humor. In the movies, the bad guy named Dr. Evil has a henchman named Mini-Me. I am a really big fan of those movies and would love to get my picture taken with Mini-Me. Next we have, Gigi Edgley who was the host of a game show called Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge and also starred on the science fiction fantasy series Farscape. As a fellow Muppet fan, I think it would be awesome to meet somebody who knows Brian Henson. Last but not last, Robin Taylor who plays the Penguin on the most recent adaption of the life of Batman, Gotham will be there. I have seen every episode of Gotham thus far and am REALLY enjoying it so I can not wait to see all of those awesome people there.

Top 10 Super Smash Bros. Downloadable Characters
I am really enjoy the new Smash Bros. Wii U game and I can not wait until Mewtwo is released as a downloadable character this Spring. So today I am going to list top 10 characters that should be released as DLC for SSB4. The one rule is that every character has to be a game character. As cool as it would be to have Darth Vader or Superman in Smash Bros, every character on this list is going to be from games. You may be thinking that a character like say Batman has been in games, but these characters have to originate in video games. Okay, let's start the list:
#10:Toad - I mean we have tons of Mario characters like Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi and I believe that Toad is the one character who's missing. Considering Toad has a new game called "Captain Toad:Treasure Tracker" it would be appropriate for Nintendo to had him.
#9:Toon Zelda - I hear that Toon Zelda was going to be added to Brawl but was taken out due to time constraints. Which means that it really surprises me how she wasn't added to this game. This is the first Smash Bros. game to date to not have a new Legend of Zelda character, so I think Toon Zelda would be a perfect fit to fight alongside Toon Link.
#8:Ridley - I know Sakurai said that Ridley would be too big to be in the game but come on, the Metroid series needs some love. I mean really, the only character is Samus (not counting Zero Suit Samus, who I consider to be another form of Samus), so imagine how awesome it would be to be a giant space dragon in Smash Bros.
#7:Dixie Kong - I feel like Diddy Kong needs a friend. He is one of the loneliest Smash Bros. characters because fans treat him with such disrespect. He's kind of like Meg from Family Guy in that way. So I think that the only think to Diddy Kong cooler and to represent the Donkey Kong series a little bit more, they should add Dixie Kong.
#6:Crash Bandicoot - I know you might be thinking "REALLY!? He's a Sony character" but before you start complaining, I think that Crash would be an excellent third-party edition to Smash Bros. He is a mascot just like Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, and Megaman and it would be cool for him to join the mascot fight.
#5:Wolf - It is a mystery to why they even took out Wolf in the first place. The Star Fox universe has only two characters and in my opinion, Smash Bros. needs another bad guy. The only new bad guy in this game is Bowser Jr. and I think Wolf would really be a good edition to Smash.
#4:Pokemon Trainer - I know that Charizard is already in the game, but please, hear me out. I think that Pokémon Trainer should return because he really made Brawl be a lot more Pokémon-ish and as a fellow Pokémon fan, I definetly think he should be in it.
#3:Spyro the Dragon - Yes, that's right, there is another Sony character on the list. I have always liked dragons and I think that Spyro would be a good edition to Smash Bros. because don't you think, the game needs a dragon.
#2:Lucas, Ice Climbers, and Roy - I know it's kind of wrong to put three in one, but these characters, even though I never really played as them should still return just so people who liked them can have their favorite characters back.
#1:Snake - Snake was one of my favorite characters in Brawl and it really made me mad when they took him out. I was a huge Snake fan and I miss how awesome he made the game. So I most definetly think that Snake should return.
Well, that is my list, see ya next time on the Matt Show!
#10:Toad - I mean we have tons of Mario characters like Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi and I believe that Toad is the one character who's missing. Considering Toad has a new game called "Captain Toad:Treasure Tracker" it would be appropriate for Nintendo to had him.

The Top 10 Best CGI Animated Movies
Hi everybody, it's Mattie E. Neuman from 2MattTV and today I am going to list the best CGI animated movies. Please note that 2D animated movies like Mulan, the Lion King, and Lilo and Stitch will not be on the list.
1:Up - Up is by far my favorite Pixar movie. The characters are likeable, the story is heartwarming and funny, and the plot keeps you guessing what will happen next. If I had a pick a favorite character it would probably be Dug. I don't know, he's just so cute and funny.
2:Toy Story - Toy Story is another great Pixar film about a toy cowboy named Woody who meets a toy space ranger named Buzz Lightyear. This movie is REALLY funny and features a bunch of new characters like Woody and Buzz and also some familiar faces like Mr. Potato Head and the Troll Dolls.
3:Ice Age:The original Ice Age is one of my favorite kid's movies period. It is funny, it has an interesting story, and I really like the characters. Even though I like them all, if I had to pick a favorite character it would probably be Scrat, I just really think he's funny.
4:Shrek - The first Shrek, in my opinion, is the only good one in the series. The story is about an ogre and a donkey who save a prince from a fire breathing dragon. It has a lot fairy tale characters like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Pinnochio, and the Three Bears it is. It is definetly a must see movie.
5:Finding Nemo - Wow, just, wow! I remember watching this movie when I was younger and thinking it was awesome. Now that I'm older, I can appreciate the movie even more. I mean it is like if you took the fish characters from Spongebob and made them a lot less human-like and added a believable underwater setting you would get this movie. My far character in this film is by far Dory, not only is she funny, but Ellen DeGeneres did a great job voicing her.
6:Ice Age 3 - I know it's kind of cheating putting a sequel on here, but this is definetly the second best movie in the Ice Age series. A lot of people were turned off when they added dinosaurs, but I thought they were really cool-looking. The whole story about Sid being trapped in the dinosaur world was pretty good and the subplot where Scrat falls in love with a lady squirrel was funny, too. My favorite new character in the movie is Buck he was really funny and a great addition to the series.
7:Despicable Me - How could I forget this one? Despicable Me is a REALLY good movie and is by far one of the best animated movies since Ice Age. Also, if you ask me, the Minions are defiently the best characters and I can not wait for the movie based off of them.
8:Horton Hears A Who - I've been a fan of Dr. Seuss since childhood and this movie really treats Dr. Seuss fans right. Unlike those stupid live-action films they made of the Grinch and the Cat In the Hat. Ugh, those movies were so unwatchable, they pretty much felt like if Seth McFarlane wrote children's movies. But now that those crappy movies are over, we finally get a good Dr. Seuss movie. It's creative, funny, and animated. I personally believe that anything Dr. Seuss should be animated.
9:How To Train Your Dragon- Let me tell you something, I REALLY like dragons and this movie has a really good intepretation of them. This movie is by far one of the best animated fantasy films I've ever seen and is written really well and is funny at times. My favorite character in this film is Toothless, mostly because the guy who provided the sounds for him also voiced Stitch. What more is there to like?
10:Rio - Rio is a movie about a bird who gets sent to South America to meet one of the few female birds of his species. The movie was really good and I'm surprised that I haven't seen the sequel yet. No matter how good the sequel is, it still makes a good number 10 on my list.
I thought about including Despicable Me 2 and Toy Story 3 as well, but I figured that one sequel is enough for this list. Anyways, thanks for reading and have a great day.

New Spongebob Movie
Apparently, Nickelodeon is releasing another theatrical Spongebob film. It is going to be sequel to the original film simply titled "The Spongebob Movie" which came out in 2004. When I first saw the trailer, I was a little skeptical. To be honest, I thought it looked kind of stupid. But then after seeing it several more times, I realized that it actually looks like it might be pretty funny. I have been a fan of Spongebob since I was in Kindergarten and have seen almost every episode, special, and movie they've done and I think that this movie might be really good. I've noticed that a lot of fans say that new Spongebob isn't as good as old Spongebob, they say that the writers are running out of ideas and that the character's just aren't likable anymore. I personally do not agree with that statement, I think new Spongebob is just as funny as old Spongebob and sometimes even better. That's right, I'm a part of the minority that actually enjoys the newer Spongebob episodes. I think they're just as funny, witty, and creative as the old episodes even is there a few duds. If you ask me, I'd say that Nickelodeon's other hit cartoon the Fairly Oddparents has gone extremely downhill, but Spongebob is just fine.
