Inside Out

Page Turner here.
I really want to see a movie about emotions. That's right, a movie about little people resembling emotions that take a great trip through a girl's brain. I think it looks so cool! It's about five emotions: Joy, Disgust, Anger, Fear, and Sadness. Nobody knows Sadness's purpose, but Joy works with everyone to make sure that Riley is happy and positive. But one day, Sadness touches one of Riley's memories, and through a serious of events, Joy and Sadness get lost and Disgust, Anger, and Fear are left to cope on their own. Possible Spoiler Alert. The movie is meant to teach us that happiness isn't what we're after. This world says, "You've got to be happy or you'll be miserable!" or "Just make Yourself Happy!" That means getting stuff, getting friends,traveling, spending, etc, etc. Not that this is wrong, but the world says that happiness is what you need for joy. The movie Inside Out shows that happiness is different than joy and that sadness can increase our joy. I believe that God gives us hardships for our good, and this movie, (although not bringing in the Bible) goes over this too. So get ready to watch Inside Out, and prep your emotions for a great movie!Or Vice Versa. :)

Books, Books, Books...

Hi, Page Turner here! Okay, so if the start of this high school year as been anything, it has  not  been boring due to lack of books to read. Here's a list of my favorite books, (in no particular order) that I've read since August!     1. "Bud, Not Buddy." This is book filled with humor and pathos and narrated by a ten-year old street-savvy kid in the Great Depression. After loosing his mom when he was six, he is moved to an orphanage. After a series of events, he finds himself alone on the road. But Bud has a secret--he thinks he knows who is father is, and he sets out to find him. This heart-warming story shows the heart of young boy, the mind of a hardened man, and the importance of family. 8/10! 2. "City of Ember Trilogy" Okay, so actually it's a quartet, but I've never liked the "Prophet of Yunwood" anyway. This series follows the events after a devastating world war that caused fire, starvation, and disease; a war that nearly wiped...

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back for--guess what!--another book review. That's right, folks. Book reviews are now officially part of the blog and will be labeled under movie reviews. What's this one on? Just one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Okay, so when I said 'graphic novel' I guess I should be more specific. According to the dictionary a graphic novel is "a novel in a comic strip format." This book combines pages with words with pages covered in beautiful drawings that tell a story almost as clearly as the aforesaid written pages do. If you haven't guessed it all ready, this is the story of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, does mystery, danger, an orphan kid living in a clock tower, an old man with a secret, the history and magic of movies, or a secret hidden in a metal automaton strike your fancy? Here's my review!                   ...
