First Movie Review of 2016

Hi, Page Turner here! I can't believe it's 2016! Anyway, here's a short and sweet version of my movie reviews for the last few movies in 2015....(beware of spoilers!)
         War Room: War Room is about a couple who's entire marriage is falling apart. They don't see each other ever, and when they do, they constantly fight. Their daughter is feeling neglected and although the wife would claim that God is prevalent in their home, He is no where to be found. All of that changes when the wife meets a sweet, yet feisty, old woman with a heart exploding with passion for God. I love this movie because it shows how strongly God uses prayer, the importance of a relationship with Him, and how to seek Him. Four and a half stars!
       Minions: Okay, so I know a lot of people like Despicable Me. So do I, but I would suggest you skip its slap-stick counter part. It's not a bad movie, but it's not really that great either. It's got a little bit of a moral to the story, but not much, and the plot goes everywhere. Minions seems like an excuse to make people laugh at these crude, yet sweet, banana-loving minions. Not horrible, but I'd skip it if there's anything else to watch. One star and a half stars.
      Pan: Okay, I'm going to admit that this is one of my favorite movies ever! Pan is about a brave, loyal orphan boy who gets kidnapped by pirates. The pirates steal children to work in their mines in a fantastical world called Neverland, and the entire project is headed by the notorious (and deranged) pirate named Blackbeard. When accused of lying, Pan is sentenced to death where he reveals that he may be the Chosen One, a boy a native story prophesies will free Neverland. Teaming up with a savvy miner named James Hook and the native warrior Tiger Lily, Pan must learn if he really is brave enough after all. Four and a Half Stars!
      Star Wars: the Force Awakens: Ahhhhh!!!! Best movie ever! Thirty years after the defeat of the Empire, the First Order rises up to once again take take tyrannical control over the galaxy. Finn, a stormtrooper, finds himself unable to harm anyone, despite his training. Teaming up with Resistance fighter Po, he escapes from the First Order headquarters and crash-lands on Jakku, where he meets Rae, a tough scavenger with a troubled past. That's all I can tell! Seriously, if you haven't seen the movie yet and you're reading this to see if you'll like it: don't. Just go see it. You'll like it--I promise.
            Anyway, those are the last 2015 movies. Now it's 2016. Remember, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The years pass by and bring change, but God will never change. Hold on to that promise this year and remember how much He loves you!

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...
