Inside Out: The Review



Page Turner here. I just realized that I never gave an official Inside Out review. How dare I! Especially with it being Pixar’s 15th movie…Hope you enjoy it!
(Possible Spoiler Alert)
What if those voices inside of your head where more than just voices? Meet Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust, the emotions of tween Riley. It’s been a hard year for Riley and her family; they had a good life back in Minnesota. She had her familiar house, her friends, her hockey team. They moved though, and Joy is determined to make it the best year for Riley, instead of the hardest. But Sadness is making that kind of hard…Joy is the head gal, the CEO of emotions if you will, and the little ray of emotional sunshine makes sure Riley never gets hurt, but with all these other emotions running around, it’s hard for her to concentrate. Everything was running smoothly when Joy first came to Riley. It was perfect. But then Sadness came along, and the reset followed suit. But now, as school starts, Joy is optimistic for a bright future. That is, until Sadness touches a core memory…the memories that define and shape Riley. Trying to save them, Joy and Sadness jump after them, but they are sucked away from Headquarters (where the emotions live) and sent into the rest of Riley’s mind. This deep, yet comical and whimsical, story follows the journey that Joy and Sadness embark on to save Riley. After all, who can function without Joy and sadness? The story follows Riley struggling with only Anger, Disgust, and Fear, as Joy and Sadness struggle back to Headquarters, embarking on breathtaking and innovative adventures and meeting unforgettable friends that teach them more about Riley then they ever knew. Inside Out is a humorous, yet deep story about the difference between Joy and Happiness, and the importance of family. Get some tissues ready!
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...
