12 Movies To Watch In 2018
studybreaks

I don't know about you, but I am always searching for new movies to watch especially during the cold winter months. I decided to put a list together of some of my favorite movies that might go a little unnoticed compared to other trending movies!

1. Stuck in Love

This movie is hands down my favorite movie in the entire world. If you need a movie with comedy, romance, and relatable characters... this is it. It's basically the story of three relationships each at very different stages in their life. Someone please start a petition to get this movie back on Netflix!

2. Zodiac

Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr.? Heck yes. This suspenseful unsolved murder mystery was must recently added on Netflix and I loved it, highly recommend if you're looking for a good thriller.

3. Soul Surfer

I think that this movie is one of the best ways to start off 2018. Based on a true story about the surfer Bethany Hamilton, this movie will inspire you to overcome challenges and never give up. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.

4. The Pursuit of Happiness

This movie was just put on Netflix and I am so happy. Will Smith and his son create a heartwarming story about a father and son who face adversity in San Francisco and teaches the importance of hard work and love. (Yes the title is spelled like that)


5. Source Code

Warning this movie will totally mess with your mind but that is one of the reasons why I absolutely love this movie. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a helicopter pilot who is a part of a top-secret mission for the military. I guarantee this movie will have your attention for the full 93 minutes.

6. Brooklyn

Stop what you're doing right now and watch this with your mother. Brooklyn is (in my opinion) the closest movie to the Notebook that I have seen.

7. The Perks of Being A Wallflower

Not only is this movie filled with the best quotes and inspirational words, the acting is incredible. Based on the book, it is a coming of age drama follows an introverted boy journey through high school. Yes, I ball my eyes out during this movie every time so make sure you have a box of tissues with you at all time!

8. Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine is a comedy-drama road trip film that follows a family going on an 800-mile road trip to the grand daughter's beauty pageant. One day I will have a yellow VW bus like their family does!

9. Hacksaw Ridge

I gave a movie to watch with your mom now this is the perfect movie to watch with your dad. I watched this in theaters with my Grandpa and we loved it. This movie is also based on a true story and is truly inspiring!

10. The Judge

This movie is very serious and at times sad but wow is it good. Robert Downy Jr. plays a successful attorney who returns home to his family. Not only is this movie wildly entertaining but it has an amazing soundtrack.

11. Glory Road

Need an inspiring Sports movie to watch like The Blindside? Then this is your movie!

12. My Cousin Vinny

One of the most underrated and under-appreciated movie of all time, My Cousin Vinny was shown to me by my parents when I was little and has always been one of my favs. If you need a laugh, watch this movie.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
