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 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....

Who is the Best Avenger?

Hey, hey, hey! It's me again. Monday isn't the best of days, so I'd like to let off some steam by revisiting one of my favorite things to do: debate about movies. Oh, yeah. Today's topic? Who is the best Avenger? (Yeah, uh oh. This could conversation could get heated :) The following post is my personal opinion and I'd love to hear yours in the comments!        Okay, so we've got, what, like, 10 Avengers now? Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Spiderman, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch...I'm leaving out a few, but you get the gist. I'm going to just focus on the original: Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk. Now, pretty much all of these guys are pretty cool. Natasha's like a secret agent/karate fighter, the Hulk can turn green and smash buildings, Iron Man's like a techno Superman, Thor can, well, control lightning, Hawkeye's Avenger's version of Katnis, and Captain America'...
