Riddle My Timbers

Hi, Page Turner here. I hope I can stump you with this riddle. Enjoy!

Riddle:
Imagine you are in remote territory in Alaska, in a small cabin. Your cabin is of Spartan design, with nothing but  three chairs, a table, a bed, and a junk drawer. A huge blizzard has hit a few weeks ago, and you have been completely snowed in your cabin. The snow reaches so high outside that it is starting to fall into your chimney, and you have long run out of food and firewood. After careful conservation, your generator has lasted this long, but now it just died and the temperature of your cabin has dropped considerably over the last few hours. Your legs, arms, and nose are beginning to go numb, and your hands are beginning to shake. You begin to become dizzy, and you feel to tired to get up from the chair you are sitting in. Suddenly, you hear howling, muffled and far away. Although it stays muffled, it begins to get closer. Snows suddenly starts to crumble and fall into your empty fireplace. The baying of wolves is now startling clear and too loud in your delirious mind, and it fades in and out, as they begin to scratch at your roof. You haven't eaten in almost a week, and you're breathing is becoming shallow. For a second, you wonder if the wolves can dig you out of your snow-locked cabin, but you quickly realize that you would be either dead or killed by the wolves before that could happen.You suddenly remember that you have enough supplies in your junk drawer to construct a simple radio. Staggering to your feet and trying to ignore the howling of the wolves, you stumble to the drawer. Being a scientist in the Alaskan wilderness came with much training. You assemble the radio, but your fingers stiffen suddenly, and you collapse into a sitting position on the ground. The radio has toppled far out of reach, but you still have hope. There is still a way to get out alive. 

What is it?

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...

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!                   ...

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...
