Dome Pondering Movie Review: Inside Out (2015)

What is it about? 

After Riley moves from Minnesota to San Francisco, her emotions - fear, disgust, anger, joy, an sadness - must all figure out how to get her through this time.

Who is in it? 

Amy Poehler - Joy

Phyllis Smith - Sadness

Richard Kind - Bing Bong

Bill Hader - Fear

Favorite Scene:

When a boy runs into Riley, the scene pans into the mind of the boy to show that all of his emotions are pretty much flipping out with a siren sounding, "girl! girl! girl!".

Favorite Quote:

"Do you ever look at someone and wonder, "What is going on inside their head?"

"All right! We did not die today, I call that an unqualified success."

Review: 

Inside Out is a nice little Pixar film that is super duper clever and relatable for adults more so than children. The film carries a very interesting plot line of several emotions controlling the human being and how each dictate memories and experiences.

From the clever storyline, to the interesting dynamics included, such as long-term memory, erasing memories, changing of memories, and how each person reacts to situations, the film does make you wonder about our internal selves and what goes through the minds of others.

Again, I cannot stress enough that Inside Out is very, very, clever, and carries some life lessons along with the entertainment.

Very much worth the ninety-minute run-time.

Grade: 4/5

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in.  Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever.  Yes, ever!  I don't need Triple H's metrics and benchmarks to influence me. No, no, no! In terms of hype, storylines, payoffs, match quality, and just overall fun - this entire weekend was amazing.  I'm slightly skewed in my preference as well. This was my son's first Wrestlemania as a pro wrestling fan. Having him at my side cheering on his favorites, getting caught up in the drama, and even crying at the end of the night because his Tribal Chief lost to "that no good Cody" added to the overall appreciation of the event.  So yeah, I have some

NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 Review: 'For super casual NXT fans like me - no complaints here'

It's become officially a tradition that NXT Stand and Deliver makes Wrestlemania weekend feel like the ultimate wrestling weekend - as if it isn't already. There is just something about a major show being held midday on a Saturday, among the hype for the already dual night of Wrestlemania - that just emanates and screams - wrestling fans, don't go anywhere all weekend.   Nonetheless, NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 for this super causal NXT viewer was entertaining. I was well aware (and followed) the story of Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes (more on that in a bit) more so than the other happenings, but that didn't matter. The show offered many reasons to check out Shawn Michaels' project on Tuesday nights.  With that said, here are some quick thoughts on NXT Stand and Deliver 2024:  - Baron Corbin is amazing on the NXT brand. For many reasons, he just never clicked for me on the major brands - and that very likely might not even be his fault. I didn't think Axiom an
