Inside Out
A child’s mind has a wide range of emotions until their
doctor prescribes Adderall for their ADHD.
Thankfully, the adolescent in this animated movie has an
array of emotions.
When her family moves from Minnesota to San Francisco,
hockey player Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) has a hard time fitting in, causing her base
emotions - Joy (Amy Poehler), Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Bill Hader), Sadness
(Phyllis Smith) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) - to be out of whack.
Things get worse when Sadness darkens Riley’s memories of
Minnesota and Joy and Riley’s long-forgotten imaginary friend Bing-Bong
(Richard Kind) must restore her recall before she runs away from home.
One of the most cerebral computer animated features ever,
this expertly rendered escapade mixes base elements of child psychology with
Disney’s demonstrative storytelling and Pixar’s age defying comicality.
Mind you, if Riley keeps playing hockey all of her emotions
are going to be concussed. Green Light
Vacation
The most important thing to remember when traveling with
your family is to book separate flights.
Unfortunately, the foursome in this comedy is confined to
the same rental car.
Desperate to bond with his wife (Christina Applegate) and
sons the same way his father (Chevy Chase) did with him and his sister (Leslie
Mann) when they were younger, Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) plans a cross-country
road trip to Walley World.
Along the way, the brood encounters an array of characters
(Chris Hemsworth, Charlie Day) and finds themselves in a number of outrageous
scenarios that test their rapport.
Featuring a cruder, more malicious Griswold clan than any of
its predecessors, this continuation of the hapless Chicagoans lacks the
congenial spirit of the slapstick series, save for a few glimpses of
irreverence from its supporting cast.
Incidentally, kids still play I Spy on road trips – except
now it’s online, and for money. Red

***Mental Picture Frame***
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Memories are what keep the human race entertained when the
WiFi is down.
However, the memories of the man in this dramedy are a
crippling distraction.
When he learns his Ex Clementine (Kate Winslet) underwent a
procedure to remove all her memories of him from her mind, Joel (Jim Carrey)
follows suit.
But as the extraction team (Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood)
begins raiding his memory bank, his subconscious retraces their love story back
to its beginnings.
Outside his mind, happenstance has found the mind wiped Joel
on the same train as Clementine. Both are inexplicably drawn to one another.
From the warped mind of writer Charlie Kaufman and
visualized through the surreal lens of director Michel Gondry, this candid, yet
highly unorthodox, commit on post-relationship woes unravels like a fevered
dream.
Besides, if you don’t remember previous relationships you’re
liable to date the same crazy bitch over and over again.
He’s in a Broken Frame of Mind. He’s the…
