Movie Reviews: Inside Out of this World

It has been a long while since I have done these, but I am back.  I will try to do more since me and my wife are seeing more films.  I will try hard not to spoil anything.  If you are worried, stop reading this until a later time.  And now............

Inside Out

This film created by John Lasseter and Pixar is a flick about feelings understanding feelings.  We start out with the birth of Riley and the feelings she develops in time.  The five feeling portrayed were Joy by Amy Poehler (SNL and Parks & Recreations), Fear by Bill Hader (SNL and Skeleton Twins), Disqust by Mindy Kaling, Anger by Lewis Black (Stand Up and The Daily Show) and Sadness by Phillis Smith.

The movies shows a lot of the aspects of the human mind.  The one that I need to yet understand is Abstract Thought.  I will need to look that up.  Another area that threw me was The Sub-conscience.  I thought it had a part in what we call second nature, but this movie showed different.  Either way, this movie was very toughing and emotional.  It seriously tug at the heart strings and has a great deal of funny scenes.  This movie was very well done and I would place it as one of my favorite Pixar films.  Highly recommend all to see.

Oh and the short film, that Pixar always shows before the major feature, was wonderful.  You will see if you haven't seen Inside Out yet.  Enjoy!

5 Stars


Jurassic World

The Jurassic series returns with a whole new cast which includes Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio and Irran Khan.  They also brought back BD Wong who was in Jurassic Park.  Although they revamped the cast, the storyline pattern pretty much stayed the same.  Welcome to the island, see amazing herbivores, learn of great new predator, predator escapes, unusual plan solves situation.  I am actually glad they did not change this format because to me it still kept the movie entertaining.  I will say this was no better or worse than the others.  I still recommend folks to see it, especially fans of the Jurassic Park Series.

It does leave a bit of a cliffhanger that could or could not lead to another sequel.  We shall see.

3.5 Stars

We do plan to see more film in the near future and so I will keep sending reviews as we see them.  Feel free to leave comments below.  See ya soon.

Until then..........
