Blockbuster Movies All Year Long?
Rob Hunter, Film School Rejects

When you think of movie season, the first thing you may think is summer time, with all the blockbusters, or fall with some pretty great movies. What about February and March? Think about the prominent movie releases in the last five years before 2016. There's not a lot.

The February/March film period is not an active time for good or commercially successful movies. That doesn't mean the movies are necessarily bad, but compared to other periods of the year, it performs the least in terms of the box office and sometimes content.

You got the summer blockbusters like Marvel, DC, "Transformers" or some nostalgic reboot (e.g. "Power Rangers," "Warcraft") ready to take all your money. Fall is a good time for Oscar-worthy movies, blockbusters that didn't quite make the summer time (e.g. "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Dr. Strange") and horror flicks.

But I think we are witnessing a new trend.

Considering that March follows the Oscars, people have renewed energy about movies and what they will anticipate.

Movies like "Ghost in the Shell," "Life," and "Power Rangers" are set to blow up the March box office as well - and that's not counting the decent movies that may come out as well.

In 2016, February had "Deadpool" busting the box office, being the highest grossing R-rated comic book film, and one of the X-Men cinematic universe's best-performing movie. It opened the doors for "Logan's" release (March), and possibly more R-rated movies.

Now what does that mean for the summer blockbusters? Will they have strong competition now, especially with "Logan" and "Beauty and the Beast's" releases? Chat it up in the comment section!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
