If you are a movie buff I am here to tell you exactly what movies just got added to Netflix this month and which ones are worth watching. I am ranking the top ten best and worst according to Rotten Tomatoes critic scores, and then ten you should watch anyway!

Why anyone who is a movie buff should watch these next ten films. As everyone knows Rotten Tomatoes is the site to check for movie ratings. This is because it was the first and is one of the only sites that accumulates all critic scores for a movie and then puts them on their site and creates an aggregate score.

Now I tend to like watching movies that are rated 90% or higher because that means that they are received as great films. If I am trying to pick a good movie to watch and really watch then I will more often than not look up its rating to see how others have perceived it and to see if I think it will fall within the types of movies I enjoy to watch. These next ten films are just that.

Top Ten Best: Critic Ratings

1. “AlphaGo”

2. “Unrest”

3. “The Age of Shadows”

4. “Bad Day for the Cut”

5. “The Godfather”

6. “The Godfather: Part II”

7. “Apollo 13”

8. “Strictly Ballroom”

9. “The Truman Show”

10. “Dallas Buyers Club”


Here are the top ten worst movies added to Netflix this month ranked in order to critic scores. All ties were broken by audience scores. This list is for anyone who just wants to watch a bad movie for a night and get a great laugh! Sometimes everyone just wants to watch a bad movie and get a nice laugh. For example, just the other week a group of friends and I watched “The Room” together. We did not watch “The Room” because we thought it was going to be a good movie, but because we know it is so bad that it is funny to watch.

Top Ten Worst: Critic Ratings

1. “License to Wed”

2. “Furry Vengeance”

3. “10,000 B.C.”

4. “Batman & Robin”

5. “The Dukes of Hazzard”

6. “Wild Hogs”

7. “The Vault”

8. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales”

9. “The Lovely Bones”

10. “Before I Wake”


Next are the ten movies you should watch even though they aren't in the top ten best or worst lists. These are for more casual movie watchers that just want a good movie to watch and don’t really care if it is critically acclaimed or not. This list of movies is for sure worth a watch!

The top three on this list to me are just classic movies from all different genres. “Shawshank Redemption” has been rated on IMDB in the top three for several years now. Personally, I can’t wait to watch that movie this month!

As for “Cars 3”, who doesn’t just love Pixar films? Honestly, if you aren’t a fan of them then I am not sure we can be friends. “National Treasure” and “Wedding Crashers” are just national treasures for people my age.

Last on this list is “Batman Begins” which begins the trilogy to the some of the best superhero movies and by FAR the BEST DC movies! This only leaves me with the hope that this year the rest of the trilogy will be on Netflix. These movies are ranked in no particular order.

Top Ten Most Watchable

1. “The Shawshank Redemption”

2. “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”

3. “Lethal Weapon”

4. “King Kong”

5. “Cars 3”

6. “National Treasure”

7. “The Conjuring”

8. “Wedding Crashers”

9. “Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie”

10. “Batman Begins”


Last here is a list of all the movies and tv shows that came to Netflix this month. To the indecisive people of the world, I hope this gives you some ideas for movies to watch this month on Netflix!

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.
