REVIEW:
Thanks to Allied Integrated Marketing, my family and I were given an opportunity to attend an advance screening of this film. Inside Out is an emotional movie about emotions. It shows what's going on inside the mind of an 11 year old girl, Riley. The main emotions that reside in Headquarters (aka the control center) are Joy (voice of Amy Poehler), Sadness (voice of Phyllis Smith), Fear (voice of Bill Hader), Anger (voice of Lewis Black), and Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling). The voice cast is excellent; each voice fits its character perfectly. All five emotions work together to help Riley adjust to a big change in her life when her family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. But then Joy and Sadness get swept up into Riley's Long Term Memory and have to figure out how to get back to Headquarters. Since only Fear, Anger, and Disgust remain in Headquarters, Riley is in turmoil. In the meantime, Joy and Sadness have an unforgettable adventure of their own. Parents of preteens and teens will be able to relate to Riley's parents as they know how challenging it is to help their kids navigate through the roller-coaster ride of their emotions.

 I highly recommend Inside Out! It's a fantastic family movie! Funny, witty, imaginative, thought-provoking, and heart-tugging! All emotions have their places (roles). We use different emotions to convey (a thought or feeling), communicate, cope, and connect with others. This movie shows how emotions affect our actions & reactions and what we experience in the real world affects our emotions. There are many more emotions in real life but it would be too crowded in the Headquarters if they had more than 5. My family enjoyed this poignant movie and and was touched by it. It reminded me that childhood doesn't last forever and that I should make as many fond memories with my children as possible. These "core memories" will serve them well, especially when their emotions are out of whack :).

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...
