As an avid and frequent moviegoer, I can honestly say that 2016 was a great year for film. Great movies were created from all different movie genres. Granted, this list contains only some of the movies that I have seen, and trust me there are plenty more that were released that I definitely still want to see... but for now, here are the movies from 2016 that I would highly recommend to all the movie fans out there:

1. Passengers (December 21st, 2016)

Who doesn't love a good love story set in space? Now, I know that this movie did not get the best reviews, but I absolutely loved it!

2. Central Intelligence (June 17th, 2016)

Honestly, when seeing a movie in the theater, I have never laughed for so long and for so hard. Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart... enough said

3. Deadpool (February 12th, 2016)

There are almost no words to describe this film except that Ryan Reynolds is amazing in this and yes, it should have been nominated for an Oscar.

4. Captain America: Civil War (May 6th, 2016)

As an avid Marvel fan, this movie really tugs at the heartstrings... but it is definitely worth the watch and is a worthy addition to the franchise.

5. Collateral Beauty (December 16th, 2016)

PSA: Kleenex is a requirement if you choose to see this film.

6. The Legend of Tarzan (July 1st, 2016)

A live action film about Tarzan with Samuel L. Jackson as the comic relief? Who wouldn't want to see this action film?

7. Moana (November 23rd, 2016)

The Rock was destined to voice the character of Maui. And the stupid chicken gives a unique touch to this movie.

8. The Jungle Book (April 4th, 2016)

It can't get much better than Bill Murray as the voice of Baloo.

9. Why Him? (December 23rd, 2016)

James Franco was born to play this role since no one else could have pulled this off as well and as hilariously as he did.

10. Dirty Grandpa (January 22nd, 2016)

Mostly because Robert De Niro is one of my absolute favorite actors, but this movie is also hilarious just overall.

11. La La Land (December 9th, 2016)

I'm usually not one for musicals like this, but with all the hype surrounding it my interest was immediately sparked, and I am so glad that it did. This movie was amazing as well as the music in it.

12. Finding Dory (June 17th, 2016)

Ellen Degeneres has waited 10 years for this, and it was definitely worth the wait.

These films made me laugh, made me cry, and laugh so hard that I cried. I would recommend these movies again and again. So the next time you decided you want to chill out and have yourself a movie night, pick one of these great movies. I promise, you won't be dissappointed.

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.
