Arts and Entertainment

Bonjour! And so I begin my second Arts and Entertainment post of the month. And mostly likely not the last! Here we go...
    Okay, so the whole French greeting was a nod toward Nick Pitera's amazing rendition of "Belle" from Beauty and The Beast. He does all of the voices perfectly! Here's the link if you want to watch it--it's amazing and super funny. http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2013/11/19/nick-pitera-is-awesome-once-again/ 

Watch out for a few more movie reviews! Up next on my movie-list is Tomorrowland and Lord of the Rings--Fellowship of the Ring. Oh yeah, whoa. Great movies up ahead. (So there's a dispute about Tomorrowland: so what? I'm not listening to negative comments until I watch it for myself.) It's going to be great. And I'm waited on bated breath for Pan. It looks amazing--and beautiful.

Fun Facts you might not know about Pixar:
1. Animators are encouraged to decorate cubicles: the result is unbelievably awesome!
2. On Pixar campus is a pool, a movie theater, and a basketball court.
3. Everybody rides scooters around campus.
4. Here's a ton of random facts about their movies! http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2015/05/30/12-things-you-didnt-know-about-disney-pixar-films/

Anyway, there's my short but sweet Arts and Entertainment post of the month. But I have forgotten the books! I'll end it with a poem found in Jesus, The One and Only,  written by Beth Moore:
                                                    
                                                O perfect Lamb of Passover
                                                        Let me not quickly run.
                                                    Recount to me the blessed plot
                                                      Tell how the plan was spun
                                                    That I, a slave of Egypt's lusts
                                                        A prisoner of dark dread
                                                  Could be condemned unto a cross
                                                     And find You nailed instead
                                           
                                                                      Au revoir,
                                                                            ---page turner

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...

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!                   ...
