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!

Gilligan: the Mind Reader

I love the show "Gilligan's Island." In this old TV comedy, seven castaways are stranded on an island and are constantly looking for a way off--but poor, awkward Gilligan always messes it up. Once on the show, Gilligan finds a bush with beans that enable him to read others minds. How cool would that be! I mean, forget conversation barriers, awkwardness, finding the right words to say, etc, etc. Or is it? By the end of the show, the entire group was pitted against each other, for everyone could read each others thoughts. Thoughts are supposed to be hidden from others. Even though we are supposed to take every thought captive to Christ, I know I struggle. Ugly things pop into our minds--who would want to see that?  In science fiction, mind reading has always been seen as fascinating, bizarre, and a gift. In Gilligan's Island, the Professor admits that he thought it would create world peace. Hah. But the truth is, Someone knows every thought you've ever thunk, and w

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Hi, I'm Paige Turner, and I'm back for the Christmas season. I'm looking forward to writing more on my blog and also celebrating one of my favorite times of the year! Christmas can be an exciting, cozy, comforting time, but it can also be filled with stress, doubt, and sadness as we think of those we miss. Wherever you are this Christmas season, I pray that you'll find peace in our Savior--something that we all need to be reminded of, including me. :) Christmas can also be an exciting time, full of joy--even during stress and sadness, a deeper kind of joy--about Jesus, our Healer and King.I'm looking forward to celebrating love, family (while eating some delicious food), but most importantly, Jesus, Immanuel, which means, "God with us." Merry Christmas!                                                                                     See you soon,                                                                                          

No Strings Attatched

"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown!" sang little Pinocchio as he danced glibly around the stage, string-less and worry-less, as the other puppets look sadly on, connected by strings like true marionettes. Maybe you recognize this scene from the 1945 Disney Pinocchio movie. For some reason, that made me think about our strings. I think we pride ourselves to be like Pinocchio: chipper, happy, and totally independent (although not quite as wooden.) Well, in reality, we are totally dependent on God. Our talents, our future, our past, our present, and our circumstances are all in the hand's of God. Sure, our decisions change things, but God's in control; nothing we do happens without Him planning it. Good grief, we don't even control our body! You can't tell your cells to burn glucose to give you energy, or your heart to beat, or your stomach juices to digest the food. (Say it with me, eww . Very good.) But God looks after u
