LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Inside Out (2015) in Movies
Sep 25, 2020
Standard Pixar affair - easy to look at, appealing to a younger audience whilst simultaneously bludgeoning adults with relatable emotional moments that make you want to curl up in a corner somewhere and weep.
Inside Out ticks all these boxes without a shadow of a doubt.
The animation is wonderful as usual and is arguably Pixar's most colourful film to date. The concept of emotions can be complex at the best of times. It's a concept that most people will struggle with for their whole lives and is something that will truly never be understood. Inside Out tackles this with aplomb, using colour coding to make it accessible to kids, and exploring just how complicated feelings can become especially as puberty begins to hit. It's very clever in its execution as well.
The majority of the story takes place in Riley's head, as her emotions Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust all struggle to keep everything balanced as she starts to hit roadblocks in her life. One thing leads to another before Joy and Sadness are ejected out of the "control centre" and desperately try to find their way back, leaving the other emotions to handle the pains of growing up.
It's one part emotional family drama, and one part bonkers sci-fi adventure, and it works really well with the help of a great voice cast.
Inside Out doesn't quite hit the lofty heights of the best Pixar efforts for me, but it's still damn good and surely will appeal to everyone in some way, no matter what age your are.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel in Books
Jan 12, 2018
This books does an amazing job or taking us through the complexities of coming out not only to others but to ourselves. The diversity of cultures really hits on what life really is like including the "toxic" people we may come in contact. Farizan does an amazing job capturing the emotions of her characters. Also it is nice not to have an LGBTQ novel that is all about sex but more the complexities of feelings and relationships.
Charlotte (209 KP) rated Jackie (2016) in Movies

an important & sadly unique historical perspective, from that of a woman (4 more)
aesthetically gorgeous, with varying filming styles/ techniques that are blended together wonderfully
creates an incredibly number feeling which allows you to relate somewhat with Jackie (see disadvantage of this below*)
interesting perspective in the way the film almost entirely ignores JFK, allowing Jackie’s character/personality to fully come across
incredibly well acted
Dean (6926 KP) rated Avengers: Endgame (2019) in Movies

An epic adventure
What a great way to bring to conclusion some 22 films over the past decade. So many characters, so many great films. This film is no exception. It has some great battles, great SFX as you would expect. It's also a very poignant film with a vast array of emotions felt by the characters and the viewer. Overall a very good conclusion to the Marvel saga.

<strong>Fab Read</strong>
Loved the latest installment of the lords of the underworld, Kane was such a hunky bad boy protector, absolutely loved his softer side to, adore a Lord who is not afraid to show his emotions, as for Tink got to be one of my most favourite females of this series, loved seeing her poor excuse of a family get there just desert's a very satisfying conclusion, what a fab read this was.

The characters! (1 more)
The storyline!
Completely hooked! Thankfully it's an 11 book saga!
The first of an 11 book saga. Hooked from the start. I felt a connection with Keira (the main character), and shared emotions with her. It's very important to be able to feel what the characters are going through and the Author has done this very well.
It's paranormal, it's romance, and it's horror. Its a surprisingly great combination!

Complete Favorite
As I huge fan of Mercedes Lackey books, I have always been impressed by her ability to transport you to a different world. This book beats them all. She pulls you in from the very beginning and holds you until the book ends, leaving you feeling like you were somehow a part of the characters' lives. This book draws out emotions from every side of the spectrum. It is my absolute favorite of all her books.
An interesting take on addiction
This book tells the story of Nikkis decline into addiction and his struggles to get out of it. Some of the story Motely cruel fans will already know but in this book Nikki goes into the feelings and emotions behind the situation. The book is a bit dull in places.
