7 Movies To See If You Don't Like "Star Wars"

If you're like me and you've never seen a "Star Wars" movie in your life, then all the excitement about the new movie is probably lost on you as well. But not everyone needs to be hyped about "Star Wars" to enjoy what Hollywood is releasing this holiday season. Here are seven movies in theaters or coming out soon that you should be excited for!

1. Krampus

In Theaters

It's Christmas, and it's a horror movie! It doesn't get much better than that. A family is about to lose all holiday cheer when they're haunted by Krampus -- basically the anti-Santa who comes for all the people being naughty. For all of you horror movie junkies out there, this is the perfect movie to get a good scare and be excited for the holidays.


2. Sisters

In Theaters


Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are at it again with another hilarious duo in "Sisters." When two distant sisters reconnect to clean out their old house, they suddenly decide to throw one last party before letting it go. If you're a fan of "Baby Mama," then you'll probably love this one too.


3. Macbeth

In Theaters

It's a good time for Shakespeare lovers with this newly adapted version of "Macbeth," starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard.


4. The 5th Wave

Releases January 15th

Rick Yancey's thrilling sci-fi novel comes to the big screen with the release of "The 5th Wave." If you like action, aliens, suspense and hunky boys than you've come to the right place.


5. Kung Fu Panda 3

Releases January 29th

Any fan of Dreamworks movies is exciting about the third installment of the beloved childhood classic, "Kung Fu Panda." It's okay to admit you're excited for this movie if you're over the age of 20, we all are.


6. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Releases February 5th

Another genius hybrid plot, this time involving two of society's favorite things: Jane Austen and a zombie invasion. I don't care if you've never heard of "Pride and Prejudice" or if "The Walking Dead" is foreign to you, you're going to want to take this opportunity to see Lizzy Bennet decapitate the undead. Maybe Austen will make a cameo herself.


7. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Releases March 4th

The knowledge that Tim Burton got his hands on the movie rights to Ransom Riggs' peculiar and beloved novel is not surprising in the least. If you're a fan of all things strange than this is the movie for you. And if you're a fan of the books, "Library of Souls" was released in September.

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.
