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 Good Dinosaur

Hi, Page Turner again! In case you were wondering, I had a blast on Valentine's Day and I'm now back for a brand-new movie review! Today, I was able to watch the Good Dinosaur and was left with feelings of Jurassic proportions...   The Good Dinosaur starts out with incredible CGI landscapes inspired by the Wyoming mountains, as a green dinosaur couple looks over their three eggs that are starting to hatch, in a moment akin to the very beginning of Finding Nemo. Each of the eggs hatch out three young dinosaurs, but Arlo is the very smallest of his family. As the summers pass and the farming family grows, Arlo's brother and sister place their footprints on the side of their corn silo, besides their parents, indicating they've 'made a mark' on the world. Everybody in his family has one except Arlo; everything in life scares him. His kind Papa tries one day to help Arlo prove his bravery and earn his mark by capturing and destroying the critter that eats from their...

Marvel Movies Review

Alrighty, a movie review! It's been a while, but I love doing these...      Okay, so I've recently watched the Avengers, Avengers 2, Winter Soldier, and Iron Man. (Do you see a pattern?) Here's the rundown: Avengers is really good. It's got violence, and some language, but a lot of funny dialogue, heroic deeds, and suspense, plus a good ol' superhero/modern-end-of-world feel to it. Thor's brother, Loki, teams up with an alien-robot race to take over the world, so S.H.I.E.L.D. must contact Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, and eventually Hawk Eye to save the day. The problem? They don't get along well. In fact, mayhem and dissension could appropriately describe this band of strange heroes with tons of emotional baggage. The team must learn to work together, or the world will suffer the consequences. Avengers 2 is once again riddled with violence and some language, but again has the same redeeming qualities. Hydra springs up once more...
