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!

Calling All Lego Lovers!

     Hi, Page Turner here. It's been a while. I suppose I just haven't had a lot to write about. :) There is, however, something important to write about today.      If you're a fan of Lego, science fiction, or just enjoy an awesome plane model, I have some really cool news. Take a look: This elegant Lego design is called the The U.S.S. Martin . It is a Lego set featuring two large engines in the rear (see figure 2) made from blue Lego parts.      Within this carrier lies hidden guns for defense when the crew is confronted from surly space pirates or other threats.      In the front (see figure 1) lies bulbous cockpit that, in emergency situations, transforms into an eject-able escape pod. The rear of the cargo carrier unfolds to form a ramp, where the happy crew is loading for flight.        The U.S.S. Martin  is covered with sleek maroon and grey paneling and dotted with vents for heat distr...

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,...

Back Again

                Hi, all! Page Turner here! I hope that everyone is having a great summer! One of the things that I am really excited about this summer is reading. With school and everything else going on, I haven't made time to read a book in a really, really long while. I feel like God gave us books, and that reading the right books can be a blessing in our lives. They can inspire us to be creative, teach us lessons, inspire us to love one another, and move our hearts to both a greater understanding and a greater love for our Savior. I feel like a few hours with a good book are a great use of time--and I plan to be doing just that this summer!       Over the next few months, I really hope to revisit some old books as well as some new ones. I know I can't read all of them, but I also hope to at least take a thoughtful review of some books that I feel God has used to impact my life. That's why I've made a non-definitive list of 15 F...
