5 Movies For Your Holiday Break Movie Playlist

Media Stinger

The holidays are right around the corner and what can be better than lounging around for a week with good food on the way? Good movies too! Below are some suggestions of feature films coming out in theaters within the week, or have been out but are definitely worth the watch.

1. Justice League

Justice League will be out in theaters on Sunday, November 17. Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa are few among many of the famous cast that will deliver the action-packed and highly satisfying fictional superhero movie we have been craving for since the last. The ratings thus far are 8.4/10 on IMDB. The movie is rated PG-13, so with parental permission, you can spend some quality time with the youngster cousins during this enjoyable fantasy flick.

2. Thor: Ragnarok

The third flick of the series came out on November 3^rd and is well worth the watch. The movie received 8.2/10 IMDB ratings. Thor finds himself imprisoned and must contest against a former ally: the Hulk. Chris Hemsworth, Cate Blanchett, and Tom Hiddleston will deliver a delightfully comedic film full of adventure for you and your family or loved ones to enjoy.

3. Murder on the Orient Express

This is a movie I am personally excited to see. The movie has received a mild 6.8/10 IMDB ratings, though I do not often let the ratings sway me. It is certainly worth the watch and decide for your own if it has captured your interest. It identifies as crime, drama, and mystery, which appeals to me as I quiet often enjoy a game of Clue. The movie came out on November 10^th staring Willem Dafoe and Penelope Cruz, among other famous and capable actors. The story is inspired by Agatha Christie’s novel, therefor we can assume the mystery will be a deliciously keen puzzle to solve.

4. Wonder

This movie is also one to look forward to coming out on November 17^th. It is directed by Stephen Chbosky (Perks of Being a Wallflower director and author) therefor we can expect a wonderful film to reveal to us the most precise adaptations of human concepts and hardships on film. Jacob Tremblay, Owen Wilson, and Julia Roberts are few among the capable actors to invite us into their wonderous story lives and tug at our heartstrings with laughter and perhaps tears.

5. A Bad Mom’s Christmas

This movie came out on November 1^st and received an average rating of 5.7/10 on IMDB. Comedic films usually get this form of rating because all they serve is to make us laugh and not much thinking is involved, though this sounds to me like the perfect comedy to indulge in post-Thanksgiving dinner induced coma. Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell are actresses we are accustomed to bringing us a good laugh and seeing them on film alongside other famous bad-ass mom actresses will make for a complete and wonderful Thanksgiving Break.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
