Day 14

Me again! Well Valentine's Day is almost here and I just read the cutest story in the Clubhouse magazine. For all of you who don't know what that is...look it up. You're on a computer anyway, and I'll wait. You back? Okay, good. So it's about a newly engaged couple from the Adventures in Odyssey series, Wooton and Penny. Wooton is a sweet, wacky, friendly mailman born in Alaska with a love for God, licorice, and Powerboy comics (which he happens to write.) Penny is a kind, slightly-naive artist with a passion for God, vegetarian Tuesdays, and knit beanies. Altogether, it's a perfect match and they're truly happy...until they visit Penny's parents a few days before Valentine's Day. Wooton is impressed by Penny's father's romantic gifts for his wife, and he tries in vain to think of something just as sweet for his own soulmate. Meanwhile, Penny wants to show Wooton around town where she grew up...but things aren't exactly the same. The playground she used to visit every day as a girl is broken down and rusty, the ice cream parlor has been turned into a laundrymat, and the pizza place she used to love is now about to go out of business--and for a good reason. After a horrible letdown, Penny and Wooton are sitting around a small table in Mario's Pizzeria, a slice of deadly pepperoni supreme between them. Wooton pulls out pair of tickets for WaterWorld. Penny looks them over, and says that it sounds like fun, and all. Wooton points out the date for the tickets: 2066, exactly 50 years later. Because, Wooton says simply, he knows he'll be just as in love with Penny as he was before.  AWWW!!! Happy Valentine's Day!

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!                   ...
