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!

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...
