Hi Friends. Tonight I'll be talking about the movie INSIDEOUT & the Original Cast Recording of
the new Broadway Classic FUN HOME.
INSIDEOUT
The people of PIXAR have done it again. INSIDEOUT is the best
film since BRAVE & UP. The great voice cast includes AMY POEHLER,
LEWIS BLACK. PHYLLIS SMITH, BILL HADER, & MINDY KALING.
The story is about what happens inside the head of an eleven year old
Riley Anderson after she is moved from Minnesota to San Fransico.
The emotion Sadness accidently touches one of Riley's memories
and the emotion Joy tries to fix what Sadness has done because
when Sadness touches Riley's memory it turns dark. All of a
sudden JOY & SADNESS are sucked up a tube leaving emotions
FEAR, DISGUST & ANGER in charge of Riley's mind. The
writers give LEWIS BLACK as ANGER the best line in which he
says San Fransico & Hawaii have ruined pizza. PHYLLIS SMITH
from THE OFFICE & BAD TEACHER was great as Sadness. BILL
HADER(NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2) was unrecognizeable as
FEAR. MINDY KALING(THE MINDY PROJECT) was awesome
as DISGUST. AMY POEHLER as JOY was awesome as well. So
go see INSIDEOUT but be sure you bring some tissue because during
the five minutes you will need them. The next movie I'll review will be
TERMINATOR: GENISY followed by THE MINNIONS. Until next
time enjoy the movies & save me some popcorn.
FUN HOME
What can I say about the cast recording of FUN HOME. The only
thing I can say is how great it is. The score is by first time TONY
AWARD winners JEANINE TESORI & LISA KRON who also
won the TONY for the best book. What I like about the cast recording
of FUN HOME is that they have included little bits of scenes from the
show to help us understand the songs. The show is about lesbian
cartoonist ALLISON BECHDEL and her coming to terms with her
homosexuality at the age of nine. The shows four best songs are
RING OF KEYS in which nine year old Allison discribes her
feelings after she sees a butch lesbian. Second good song is CHANGING
MY MAJOR in wich nineteen year old Allison sings about how well
she enjoyed her first lesbian encounter. The third song is WELCOME TO
OUR HOUSE ON MAPLE AVENUE in which the BECHDEL family\
describes how their father likes to keep the house clean. The last good song
is called COME TO THE FUN HOME in which the BECHDEL children
sing about the services that the BECHDEL FUNERAL HOME can provide
for their loved ones in a pretend comercial that their filming. The BECHDEL
family owned and ran a funeral home hence the shows name. The show is also
based on the best selling graphic novel ny ALLISON BECHDEL herself.
FUN HOME would be a great fit at THE LA MIRADA THEATRE FOR
THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER onstage series. I can't wait for
FUN HOMES Los Amgeles premire. I'll most likely see it five times in
while it's in L.A. Newcomers SYDNEY LUCAS and EMILY SKEGGS are
excellent in the rolls of Small Allison and Medium Allison. They both were
nominated for TONYS. So go out and get the FUN HOME cast recording.
You wont be sorry.
Inside out is on my summer bucket list (a term my daughter uses) Pixar never fails to please. They are brilliant story tellers I am looking forward to that.
