Home: The Review

Page Turner here. I just watched the new Dreamworks movie, Home. Here's my review!
     (Possible spoiler alert)  It all begins with the Boovs; a friendly alien civilization who make a living running away. Their motto is to run away from danger, and they excel at that. The entire Boov colony takes over Earth, thinking that they are doing us lowly, primitive humans a favor. The humans are moved to Australia and the Boovs move in. Oh, a highly optimistic and somewhat accident prone Boov, couldn't be more excited about the move to earth. The problem? Nobody else is excited that Oh even exist, but that hardly dampers his enthusiasm. In a moment of highly optimistic determination, Oh tries to send an email to a fellow Boov, but accidentally hits send all. As in, send to the entire galaxy...even the dreaded enemies the Boovs were trying to run away from in the first place. Now Oh must try to escape from his peers, who are angry at him for always making mistakes. He joins up with a girl named Tip who was overlooked in the relocation of people, and together they set off on an epic journey to find Tip's mom and stop the mail. This light-hearted, colorful and innovative movie sparks imagination and is filled with humor, astounding creativity and sights you never would have dreamed of. Over all, Home is a heartfelt adventure through imagination and friendship. Although both Oh and Tip started out to stop and email and save her mom, they both learned about love instead.
Four and a Half Stars!

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!                   ...

The Great Gatsby Book Review

Hi, Page Turner here. Today is the third book in the 30 series on “15 Books Every Person Should Read.” Yesterday was about The Giver by Louis Lowry. Today I’m going to be writing about The Great Gatsby. A beloved, gritty classic about the 1920s, I read this book a few years ago and have been captured by its message ever since. I hope you enjoy today’s book review!                                         The Great Gatsby—a Book Review       The 1920s, dubbed the Roaring Twenties, has captured the imaginations of generations. Twinkling lights, flapper dresses, jazz, and Downton Abbey-esque dinner parties have all been general characterizations of this time period. Add in some speak-easy bars, some romance and mystery, and a trip to the cinema in the family automobile to complete the picture....

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...
