5 Movies Left In 2015 To Look Forward To
tuxboard.com

2015 may be a slow year in terms of Academy Award nominees, but there's no doubt that this is the most profitable year we will see for quite some time. From "Jurassic World" to "Spectre" to "MockingJay Part 2," there was no shortage of blockbusters. If the movies are your holiday destination, you'll still be able to find some noteworthy films, even with just two months left in the year. Here is what is left.

5. "The Night Before"

Directed by: Jonathan Levine

Starring: Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anthony Mackie

From the team that brought us such modern masterpieces as "This is the End," "Neighbors" and "The Interview," comes a holiday film probably not for the whole family. With cameos from Tracy Morgan and Miley Cyrus, "The Night Before" could be what we expect, deeply offensive but highly entertaining.

4. "The Revenant"

Directed by: Alejandro G. Inarritu

Starring: Leonardo Dicaprio, Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson

The first film since winning multiple Oscars for his work on "Birdman," Director Alejandro G. Inarritu ventures into the snowy wilderness to unfold a tale of a man (Dicaprio) brutally attacked by a bear and nearly killed in 1823. His companions rob him and leave him to die in the harsh winters of the Nevada territory, leaving him to extract revenge. Dicaprio and Hardy in the same film? Sign me up.

3. "Concussion"

Directed by: Peter Landseman

Starring: Will Smith, Alec Baldwin. Albert Brooks

A biographical film about Nigerian forensic pathologist, Bennet Omalu, the doctor leading the way for justice for American NFL football players who have experienced great head trauma through CTE. This film will leave a black eye on the NFL at a time when it already has quite the black eye due to their negligence of domestic abuse and player safety. The fallout from the film will be bigger than the film itself, but it could also be a well-overdue Oscar bid for Will Smith.

2. "The Hateful Eight"

Directed by: Quentin Tarantino

Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh.

What better way to spend Christmas Day than watching limbs fly and blood pour in a Tarantino production? Tarantino’s second straight Western following "Django Unchained," "The Hateful Eight" looks like a throwback to his older, grittier films. A blizzard forces eight fugitives to coexist in a stagecoach Passover. Will Tarantino let his end peacefully? Nope. Doubt it.

1. "Star Wars: the Force Awakens"

Directed by: J.J. Abrams

Starring: Harrison Ford, Mark Hammill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac

C'mon, who put this anywhere but number one on a list like this? They are lying to themselves if they did. The Force Awakens has completely shattered box office records already. It comes out a month from now. 30 years following the events of Return of the Jedi, TFA looks to chronicle the search for revenge for sith lord Kylo Ren, already looking like a legendary villain just from trailers. Not much more is known but what is known is that this will be the biggest movie America has seen. Possibly ever.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
