Lights, Camera, Action!

Okay, quick! Think of your three favorite quotes. Chances are, they probably came from a movie, maybe a book. But probably a movie, right? Movies impact us a lot. Think of the Hunger Games. You can never think of eating pita bread without smiling, can you? Or how about Star Wars? If someone says, "It's gonna take a lot of force to move this," you immediately start humming the Darth Vader song, right? Or how about if someone started saying, "Do you want to-", I bet you finish it with "...build a snowman?" I've had that one happen to me a lot. Anyway, the point is, movies affect us. But some movies aren't all so good, and some even put bad language, images, or songs into our heads. Of course, there are a lot of good ones, like the majority of Disney and Dreamworks, along with other movie companies. I think there are some awesome Christian movies out there right now, but there hasn't been a good, quality C.G.I animated Christian film. Even VeggieTales has sold to someone else! I think that someone should start an animated film company, similar in quality to Disney Pixar, Disney Studios, or Dreamworks, and central its  films around God, have a good story line, and make a positive difference, all for the glory of our Savior. Is anyone with me? It would be so cool. Imagine a twist on a classic fairy tale story, with as good of quality as Tangled or Brave. (Of course, we might have to ask for John Lasseter, the producer of Pixar, to help!) Anyway, I think that would be so neat. We have talents that God has given us; let's use them for His glory. Get ready, movie industry! We're takin' you by storm!

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!                   ...
