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!

No Strings Attatched

"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown!" sang little Pinocchio as he danced glibly around the stage, string-less and worry-less, as the other puppets look sadly on, connected by strings like true marionettes. Maybe you recognize this scene from the 1945 Disney Pinocchio movie. For some reason, that made me think about our strings. I think we pride ourselves to be like Pinocchio: chipper, happy, and totally independent (although not quite as wooden.) Well, in reality, we are totally dependent on God. Our talents, our future, our past, our present, and our circumstances are all in the hand's of God. Sure, our decisions change things, but God's in control; nothing we do happens without Him planning it. Good grief, we don't even control our body! You can't tell your cells to burn glucose to give you energy, or your heart to beat, or your stomach juices to digest the food. (Say it with me, eww . Very good.) But God looks after u...

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,...

Day 21

  Hey, Page Turner here! Back for day 20 in my countdown to Valentine's Day. There is a lot of romance movies out there. One of my personal favorites is Princess Bride. ( spoiler alerts ahead)  I mean, come on. " My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." It doesn't get much better than that, does it?! Princess Bride is a humorous romance complete with a kidnapped princess, shrieking eels, giants, sword fights, Miracle Max, betrayal, and a dashing hero. The best part is the entire story is read by a grandpa to his sick grandchild, a young kid with a cynical sense of humor and boyish distaste for romance. The movie follows the love story of Buttercup and Wesley, two peasants who are madly in love. Their story is cut short when Wesley dies at the hand of the Dread Pirate Robertson, and Buttercup is given to the prince to marry. As the days count down to her wedding day, Buttercup is kidnapped by a Spaniard swordsman, a kind-hearted giant, and a se...
