Inside Out
Reviewed by Eddie S.

insideout

From the previews I thought this was just going to be a silly story. Boy, was I wrong!

Inside Out is a story about an 11-year-old-kid (Riley) who moves from the cold Midwest to San Francisco. We see inside her- how the emotions of joy, disgust, sadness, anger, and fear work together to keep her functioning. Some malfunctions cause all kinds of changes to her feelings and personality. Joy, Sadness and her little kid imaginary friend, Bing Bong, work to get Riley back to “normal”. This is the simple summary.

Actually this story is about memories, growing up, and letting go. The story is quite beautiful and quite complex. It’s also sad at times.

Little kids will love the animation . It can be a bit scary for little kids. For bigger kids and adults there is another whole level to the movie. I recommend Inside Out to kids in first grade and above who want to enjoy the fun story. I really recommend the story to fifth graders and above and to adults for the very sweet story, connections to real life (especially for fifth, sixth, and seventh graders) as well as the great animation.

  1. The book is about a kid who wants to be the fastest runner in fifth grade. Maybe the Bridge to Terabithia is about a race and the finish line is across the bridge. Maybe Jess is scared of the bridge and he knows he can win the race, but he is to scared of the bridge. And then he has to find the courage to cross the bridge to win the race.

  2. Starcraft 2
    Reviewed by Elijah

    Starcraft 2 is one of the world’s greatest games. Costing $60, it is well worth the price. Featuring a awesome campaign and cool multiplayer system it is my favorite overseeing games.
    Playing Starcraft is one of my hobbies. Being a video game freak i got big on the game and went crazy. There are three cool races, called The Terran(humans), Protoss, and Zerg. In multiplayer you can play all the races, my personal favorite is zerg there like bugs the size of sheds-smallest and airport size-biggest. One thing that i especially like is that you can make friends online. Then invite them to games on multiplayer or co-op. I currently only have 3, but what’s the difference.
    My family also plays this game. My Dad got me into the game and my cousin and I play a lot together.
    I recommend this game to all gamers who have a good idea about how to build a army super fast. Take me for example i once made 50 zerglings(zerg the smallest-shed size)in 2 minutes of play time. Thats crazy amount even among top gamers. But as you can guess it’s more complicated than that.
    This game is crazy fun. Playing it is one of my top hobbies. If you buy the game you will be happy with the results. Its well worth the price.

  3. Where the Red Fern Grows
    I decided to read this book after my mom told me about it, and to be honest I thought that this would be a weird book. Little did I know that it would turn out to be my favorite book of all time. Where the Red Fern Grows is about a boy named Billy who has three younger sisters and he really wants two coonhounds (a type of dog). The problem is that they cost $50 each, and Billy’s family does not have the money to buy any. Billy saves up by working and selling fishing items to fisherman. After two whole years Billy finally has enough money to get his dogs. Instead of waiting for them to arrive, Billy travels on foot to go get his dogs. He falls in love with them. I won’t tell you the names of the dogs, because thats for you to find out! Anyway, Billy trains them to become hunting dogs. They encounter some good, and bad every time they go hunting. There is so many adventures in the book, and you will feel a lot of different emotions while reading. I really would recommend this book to 3rd grade and up, and you better be ready to read a pretty thick book. It is a great heartwarming story that you will never forget.

  4. Leap
    At first l thought Leap is probably the worst movie ever because
    It was about a girl doing ballet.

    Leap is about a girl who wanted to be a ballerina who lived in an orphanage.
    She had a passion for dancing,then her friend a boy found ballet class in Paris so they broke out of the orphanage and made it into the train. The boy wanted to be an inventor and he was helping to build the Eiffel Tower and the girl becomes a dancer and dances in a show.

    This is actually about feelings and dreams, and it is a little sad sometimes.

    People who are about 3rd grade and up will understand the movie,
    l would prefer this to 4th grade to 8th grade. It is a great movie and it shares feelings.

  5. Panda Express

    Panda Express is a delicious restaurant. Panda Express is a chinese restaurant with many options to choose. I think everyone should have the orange chicken there. The place has many options of food like I said but here are some of the choices you can have. You can have the orange chicken, the Sesime chicken, many types of noodles, another thing you can have is egg rolls, and cheese wontons.

    My personal favorite as you can already probably tell is the orange chicken. Panda Express has many options and is the best restaurant in the world!

  6. MONSTER TRUCKS

    I think Monster Trucks is a great movie because it’s sad but also very energetic.The sad part is when the monster got reunited with his family.And the energetic part of the movie is when they go to try to stop the bad guys from poisoning the nest of monsters.There’s all of the reasons why I think Monster Trucks is a great movie.

  7. Le´madeleines is the best restaurant in my opinion it is a french restaurant, because of their customer service, and the way they cook their food,and the set-up (the one in Longmont is the one I went to and the one I’m reviewing), Le’ Madeleines customer service is so awesome the way they treat they say comments to you and when you’re done eating they take your plates and cups and all your dishes to the back and they assign you seats but they ask if you prefer a booth or chairs so you can have what you want and you can sit outside if you like and inside they have a place where you get your own drinks with free refills because you get your own. The way they cook their is amazing because of their recipes and they cook it to perfection because they cook it for the right time and the right temperature. Their setup is very pretty there is a fire pit and the food bar is like a buffet where you slide your tray to the stations one station is where you choose your salad and the other station is where you slide your tray and order your soup and the last station is where you pay and get all the food you ordered and then you go to your table. Enjoy

  8. A Dog’s Purpose seems like it is going to be a happy story but no.
    A Dog’s Purpose is about how the dog goes through more than one life as a dog for one purpose. He goes through at least 7 life’s and one the last life you see in the movie is happy.It starts of sad but then it is happy because the dog finds his first owner. It’s sad because he dies in all his life’s so it is sad to watch.

  9. The book is about a kid named jess who wants to be the fastest runner in fifth grade. Maybe the Bridge to Terabithia is about a race and the finish line is across the bridge. Maybe jess is scared of the bridge and jess knows he can win the race, but jess is to scared of the bridge. And then jess has to find the courage to cross the bridge to win the race.

  10. Sweet Cow
    Sweet Cow is the best ice cream on planet earth. By my first impression I thought it was going to be a weird burger bar, but boy was I wrong they have a huuuuuuuuge variety of flavors of ice cream they have mint chocolate chip they have Oreo banana split they have mint Oreo they have soooo many root beer float flavors and milk shakes.And for their tip they have a joke it says”Try cow tipping its fun’

  11. I’ve met Jess and Leslie , they are great characters , but I personally think that Leslie
    is the best character in the book! I think that Leslie is a better character than Jess because Leslie has a big imagination and has seen more than just the little town that jess has lived in for so long .Plus Leslie doesn’t really care what other people think he unlike Jess . For example when she
    want’s to hang out with Jess but Jess doesn’t want to get caught by all the other kids in the school ,but eventually he gets over it.That’s why I like Leslie better than I like Jess . But to be honest they’re
    Both pretty good characters!

  12. Horses are beautiful and majestic animals.If you go to a farm or a zoo you know what I’m talking about.They’re all beautiful colors.When they run in the wind They’re hair moves softly through the wind.In my opinion I think it’s really fun to ride on a horse.Some times I wish I had one.Like a black with a mix of brown,it’s fun to go on rides With the people you know like family and friends.Once when I was at my aunt’s house my friends and cousins and I Went down to the river climbed on the rocks and saw some horses and the owners let us pet them and feed them.

  13. Review
    “A Dog’s Purpose” the movie

    I think that “A Dog’s Purpose” is a good movie for people who don’t cry when watching a movie at home or at the movies. It is a good movie but very sad. The dog named Bailey goes through many lives as many different kinds of dogs breeds. The movie shows love and compassion with the dogs and their owners. Bailey shows that dogs do different things in their lifetime. Like a police dog or blind person dog. Although Bailey is a lovable, sweet, kind dog and goes through many lives. He or she dies many times in the movie and I think that it is very sad, but another dog always comes and shows up. Bailey loved his owner since the day he adopted him and Bailey had some hard times but also good times.

    I think the main moral of the story it that dogs are a mans or womens best friend. And will always be there for you when your sad or just need a friend.

  14. When I first was starting to read Harry Potter to be honest I thought it would be boring and to mature for me but when i read the first  page of Sorcerers Stone I knew it was perfect . Harry potter is about   Harry realising  that his parents were both a witch and a wizard and goes to this magical school where he meets new friends Ron and Hermione learn magic and goes on big risky adventures   every year  It has adventure in almost every chapter which makes it interesting  and there are a  lot of plot twist that keeps you into the book.With every word you read on the page you feel like you are apart of the story .There are so many mythical creatures and characters  you can’t help but loving . I love Harry Potter so much and it means so much to me and I very much advise you to read it.

  15. MONSTER TRUCKS

    I think Monster Trucks is a great movie because it’s sad but also very energetic.The sad part is when the monster got reunited with his family.And the energetic part of the movie is when they go to try to stop the bad guys from poisoning the nest of monsters.There’s all of the reasons why I think Monster Trucks is a great movie.

  16. YAT (young ameritowne) is where you get to know what it is like to be working in real jobs and you get to learn how to be a good salesperson and how to raise and lower your prices as needed and to get more customers. Also it teaches you how to follow the law. Finally, you get to get to learn how give good customer service and bring attention by advertising good and explaining the product well and be kind and welcome them when they walk in and be helpful to the customer by asking if they need help finding anything.

  17. Have you ever thought there is no action packed pixeled boss fighting game for you, if so you were wrong. Terraria is a 2D game made with pixels so then is doesn’t look real and I like those games personally. If you are like me and like those types of games then, you would love this game called Terraria. Plus, in Terraria you can let your imagination take you away and build whatever you want to build as long as you can think of it you can pretty much build it like the phrase your imagination is the limit. I hope I have helped you figure out a game that you would like to play.

  18. I think Harry Potter is the BEST BOOK and the BEST MOVIE EVER because it has action it has mystery it has everything you would want it’s like a spell was cast to pull us into the book/movie. The three main characters are Harry,Ron and Hermione they go through dangerous and epic adventures and they do all of it just to destroy the darkest the meanest the most horrible the absolute worst wizard of them all the one who killed Harry’s parents, VOLDEMORT! There are so many cool and amazing characters that sometimes die and it’s super sad because you will start growing to love the characters.There are 7 books in the of Harry Potter. In conclusion, i think that everyone should read this amazing fantasy story.

  20. I have just finished Bridge to Terabithia and something that I would change about the book is Leslie dying. Because Jess and Leslie were best friends and when Leslie died Jess was really sad/mad.It made Leslie`s family cry and Jess really hated seeing older people cry it made him uncomfortable.I would also change the book because Leslie was the queen of Terabithia and Jess should not have to regret not taking Leslie to Washington. If I were Jess I would not want to come home to my best friend dead and my parents thinking I was dead.

  21. I think that the beginning of “Now You See Me 2” was STUPID because the Magician, for his trick, was put inside a safe that was being dropped into the ocean, or a Lake, or something but I don’t really know what it was but it was a blob of water. But anyway and he was supposed to escape the safe but he didn’t. I think that was just stupid, for anyone to do that not just him. I believe in magic, but teleportation doesn’t exsist. So why would anyone not just a Magician jump into a safe and try to escape it in where ever water is and plan to make it out, Alive. I mean THAT’S JUST STUPID. CAN’T FIX STUPID. SO STUPID IT’S FUNNY!

  22. Bizzardvark
    I thought Bizzardvark on Disney Channel would be a show for little kids but after I watched it, it was a very good show. Bizzardvark is about these two teenagers (Paige and Frankie) who have their own Vuugle channel (Vuugle is like youtube but in Bizzardvark) and after they hit 500 views they got to go to the Vuugle headquarters and they get to make their videos better. They have very crazy days because of their “manager” Bernie (he is actually not their manager in the show). He causes bad things to happen to himself and he tries to act all cool but he is not. There is another girl named Amelia and she has her own channel as well but she has to do everything right she can never do ANYTHING wrong or cheap. Her channel is called Perfect Perfection with Amelia,she is so full of herself and she doesn’t care about other people only herself.She has to beautiful all the time and she makes fun of Frankie for her looks but Frankie doesn’t care because she knows it’s not true. The other character is Dirk (the actor of Dirk is Jake Paul) and he has his own channel as well,and it is called Dare Me Bro and people all over the world send in dares and Dirk has to do them and he is stupid he doesn’t understand anything really besides dares, so he can only understand really is just dares and nothing else really.There is one more character that really needs to be described and that is Liam he is a robot. He is the owner of Vuugle and he hates on Bizzardvark’s channel. He is just really grumpy and hates everybody at Vuugle and regrets starting Vuugle, because he doesn’t like anybody there, and doesn’t want so many people around him.He really doesn’t like people at all and has no robots to be with him. He is always so lonely and shows all his sadness whenever he is near somebody so they will feel bad for him.
