Page Turner Daily News

Hi! Page Turner here. I know it's been a while since my last post, so here's an overview of what's happened since then!

Art and Entertainment: Okay, so the new movie Pan came out. I haven't seen it yet, but it looks so good. Also, Pixar has announced the release dates for their new movies, including The Good Dinosaur, Zootopia,  Toy Story 4, and Incredibles 2. Sadly, Incredibles 2 doesn't come out until 2019! I guess I'll just have to watch the first one four thousand more times...! Also, I went to go see Tim Hawkins. If you don't know who he is, go find out. Really. He's a great--and the funniest--comedian I've ever seen. Also, he's a Christian and family-friendly. I saw him live and he was fantastic!!!! He hugged my mom as he came down the aisle playing his harmonica. It was amazing! Also, if you want a really good TV show, I could suggest a billion, from Christy, to Lab Rats, to Pride and Prejudice (the five hour version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) But my most recent favorite series is Warehouse 13. It's a sci-fi/ fantasy/ adventure/ comedy/ drama (They like to cover all the grounds). It's about a group of people on a branch of the Secret Service that finds 'artifacts' that can do strange things. A shard from Cinderella's slipper can turn a person to glass, Magelons's Astrolabe can turn back time, Harriet Tubman's thimble can make you look like someone else, and so on. It's all stored in the Warehouse. Although rated TV-14 for violence and a few words, this show always has a good message, strong characters, and 'endless wonderment'. (Heh, heh, that's the tagline.)

Food and Drink: Publix has the best cakes, if anyone was wondering--especially their raspberry cream cheese cake. Egg nogg is out quite early this year and gryo potato chips--while good in theory--aren't good in real life. Just trust me on this one.

Sports: I don't know anything about sports. If you want news, go look it up. :)

Fox Daily News: Fox, my extremely cute golden retriever has been great. She's gotten over the whole must-eat-everything instinct and is now just focusing on rocks and socks and shoes. (-And earrings. It's a long story, but she's fine. Not so with the earring...) She's a little obsessive with the socks. Okay, a lot. She'll grab 3 socks in her mouth and dive onto the couch. We pull out two and scold her; when we turn around a few minutes later, she's chowing down on another one! She's so cute, though. So cute!

   Anyway, thanks for catching up. God is so good! He is with us and loves us everyday--He's always with me even days that aren't recorded on this blog. :)

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'...
