The Horrible Lineup Of Films Coming Out This Year

9 Movies 2017 Doesn't Need
List Challenge

Among the Hollywood blockbusters coming out this year, there are some films that shouldn't have even made the lineup:

1. The Mummy.


If I hadn't known what I was already watching, I never would have guessed The Mummy's trailer was an actually Mummy film. Instead it's an explosion fest featuring Tom Cruise. It's nice seeing a female mummy, but there doesn't appear to be an substance to this film.

2. The Fate of the Furious.

The last Fast and Furious film had a perfect send off to the late Paul Walker. Yet the franchise doesn't appear to be finished, and another film is coming out this year.

3. Fifty Shades Darker.

For Valentine's Day we will be treated to another film riddled in unhealthy relationships and rape culture. It's a sequel for a film that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

4. Monster Trucks.

While this film has already been released (in 2016 internationally, 2017 domestically), it has to be on the list. Paramount had a $125 million dollar budget for this kids' film featuring monsters inside trucks. It won't be making its money back.

5. Smurfs: The Lost Village.

Once again we're treated to a bad movie with blue people (sadly I'm not talking about the other one, Avatar). This is the third film in Sony's franchise of the smurfs. The second film only made a fraction compared to the first, making it unclear why a third was needed.

6. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

After Johnny Depp's abuse scandal, it's surprising that he's still getting jobs. But that's Hollywood for you. With the last film being a bore, it's time for Disney to lower the pirate flag on this franchise.

7. Despicable Me 3.

Illuminations Studios is bring in the money with their annoying army of Minions. I'm not looking forward to the commercials featuring those yellow nightmares.

8. The Emoji Movie.

I feel like this idea was came up by an old guy trying to figure out a movie that's trying to stay hip. I have no words for this film.

9. Jumanji.

In honor of Robin Williams, it's sad to see one of his beloved classics being remade so soon. I have nothing against the actors in the remake, but it's not a movie I'll be seeing.

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.

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.

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.
