8 Reasons Why You Definitely Need To See 'Beauty and the Beast'

The live action Beauty and the Beast finally hits movie theaters this Friday, March 17th. If you still need some convincing to go see this remake of the tale as old as time, here's why you need to go see Beauty and the Beast!

1.Belle was probably one of your favorite, if not your favorite, Disney princesses.


Belle is smart, kind, and loves to read-- how could she have not been your ideal Disney princess growing up?

2. She's probably still your favorite princess today.

Don't even try to deny the envy you feel when you visit Disney World and see her walking around in that classic yellow gown and a prince on her arm.

3. One person, two words: Emma Watson.

Emma Watson as Belle isn't just a dream come true for her; it's a dream come true for all of us!

4. The movie recreates some of your favorite songs from the original.

Emma Watson singing "Belle" and "Something There"? Yes, please! Ariana Grande and John Legend will be also featured in the film with their rendition of "Beauty and the Beast".

5. Beside Emma Watson, the film features more of your favorite actors.

Josh Gad, who voiced Olaf in Frozen, plays Gaston's right-hand man, LeFou. Stanley Tucci, who you'll recognize from his roles in The Devil Wears Prada and The Hunger Games, takes on a newly-created role for the film. Tucci plays Cadenza, the grand piano.

6. It makes a Harry Potter reference in the very beginning

In the very beginning of "Belle", Belle asks the townsman if he's lost something and he remarks,"Problem is, I can't remember what". Seem familiar? That's because Hermione and Neville have a similar conversation in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone! As Neville's Remembrall turns red, Hermione asks what he has lost and he replies, "The only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten." Coincidence? I think not!

7. It's basically your childhood.

Between the above Harry Potter reference and Emma going from Hermione to Belle, this movie is combining two of your childhood obsessions-- Harry Potter and Disney! And Emma Watson isn't the only actress with Harry Potter in her background. Emma Thompson, who played Professor Trelawney in HP, plays Mrs.Potts.

8. It'll get you excited for all the Disney live-action remakes to come.

With Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King in the works of becoming live-action films, Beauty and the Beast will prepare you for what to expect of Disney's future remakes.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
