The much anticipated sequel to Inside Out is finally here! Taking place two years after the first one, Riley is now 13 and has developed a "Sense Of Self". However, things take a difficult turn when Riley's puberty alarm goes off, resulting in 4 new emotions showing up. Anxiety (leader of the new emotions) becomes a HUGE problem.

Glory To God The Movie Was Great! The story was basically a rehash of the first movie, but still managed to add even more depth to an already creative and well written plot. The way the film portrayed growing pains going on to high school was so accurate that it's kind of scary. From her new emotions to her long term memory changing, it was very accurately and creatively portrayed. And the movie did a brilliant job at portraying anxiety (figuratively and literally). I also liked how they explained Riley's "Sense Of Self" and how it evolved as she became a teenager, basically going into full circle when she takes full control over her emotions. 

The characters were just as charming in this as they were in the first movie. Seeing them basically go on a road trip was kind-of hilarious. I was pleasantly surprised at Joy's development. She had really good development in the first one, but this movie surprisingly expanded her characterization. Seeing her fear in the possibility that Riley might not need her anymore was very intriguing. There was even a line she said that made me cry. It was also nice to see Sadness develop a backbone (well.....just barely). 

New characters were awesome. All of them were great editions to the film (Ennui was probably my favorite). Anxiety was very well written and acted. She's antagonistic but it was still clear that she thought she was helping Riley and went EXTREMELY overboard. When she came to that realization, her guilt became too much. It was kind of heartbreaking. Also, Lance, Bloofy, and Pouchy were HILARIOUS!😂  

The animation was good (which was no surprise), but I was pleasantly surprised by the 2D animation that was featured for Bloofy. And lastly, the voice acting was fantastic. Not all of the original cast returned, but I feel that our new cast members really held their own. Amy Poehler and Maya Hawke were probably the best of everyone.

Is this movie better than the first one; no. But one thing it has over the first is that it managed to make me cry TWICE 😒. It is indeed a worthy sequel to the original. Thanks For Reading.

Discombobulated But Good

  I've always had an odd relationship with The Color Purple . I don't care enough to read the book, and some family of mine participated in a community production of the Broadway musical. I do like the original movie, but it's also EXTREMELY annoying due to some of it's subject matters. I saw the remake yesterday, and it of course centers on Celie Harris-Johnson and the struggles she's had throughout her life. The movie is all over the place in terms of it's writing, pacing, and it's music (and considering this was directed by the same idiot behind Black Is King,  I am not surprised). Don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible. But there were times in the movie where I wanted more but got less, and in the times I wanted less, I got more than I would like. A lot of songs from the musical were cut in favor of new songs that weren't so great. The songs from the musical that stayed in the movie were arranged horribly. I also felt that the plot moved pret

Top 10 Female Performances In Music Biopics

  This list is of acting portrayals of female singers in movie biopics. Tv movies will be considered, but Tv shows are excluded.  #10: Reese Witherspoon as June Carter Cash- Walk The Line Witherspoon's performance as June Carter Cash has had varied reception among critics and audiences, and that's understandable. Several people found her very annoying and disagreed with her Oscar win. I wouldn't say I agree with her win, but I don't really care enough to disagree either. Overall I thought she did a relatively good job as June Carter. A good job, not a great job (she's at the bottom of this list for a reason). The problem isn't even Witherspoon, it's just that other actresses on this list could easily outshine her.  It also doesn't help that Witherspoon is the only actress on this list whose character is not the center of the movie as "Walk The Line" obviously focuses on Johnny Cash. While that does give Witherspoon a disadvantage, for me it was

Top 10 Signature Songs

  You know how an artists has that one song that pretty much defines their career and who they are as an artist? This is a list of those songs. Please keep in mind that just because an artist and their song is on the list doesn’t mean I like the song or the artist (especially the artist). It just means that I acknowledge the impact and importance of the song and/or artist. One song per artist. #10: The Real Slim Shady- Eminem Technically speaking, Lose Yourself is more notable than The Real Slim Shady . But I feel like this song really set the standard on who Eminem is as an artist. He pretty much hit the jackpot when coming up with such an iconic nickname, and Eminem presents it with so much personality, style, rhythm and aggression that it just works. I'm not even sure if it could have as much of an effect on people with someone else in the track. Only Eminem could make it work. Again I have nothing against Lose Yourself , in fact I love that song more than this one. But I feel
