6 Movies You Need To See Right Now

I'm not a movie buff by any means, but I've watched my fair share. Just like with my TV shows, I have and will watch a variety of different movies. This here is a list of ten movies that I encourage you to see ASAP.


Real Steel: This is by far my favorite movie, and I honestly can't even tell you why. Starring Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a burned-out prizefighter who lost his chance to win when robots took over the boxing ring. Now Charlie works as a small-time promoter, piecing together scraps of metal into low-end fighters to earn barely anything from each venue. Just as Charlie hits rock bottom, he teams up with his estranged 11 year old son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship robot for a final shot at redemption.

The A-Team (2010 Film): This here is one of my favorite action films to date: The film begins with John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson) being held captive in Mexico by two Federal Police officers working for a renegade General. Hannibal escapes and sets off to rescue Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Bradley Cooper) who is held captive at the renegade General's ranch. Face is rescued by Hannibal with the help of Ranger B.A. Baracus (Quinton Jackson). Pursued by General Tuco, they stop at an Army Hospital to enlist the help of eccentric pilot Howling Mad Murdock (Sharlto Copley). The four men escape in a medical helicopter and blow up Tuco's copter after he flies into American airspace. The movie then follows the men eight years later and depicts a mission gone wrong.

Footloose (2011 Remake): As much as I love the original, I was highly impressed with this revamped version of the 1980's classic "Footloose". This rendition follows Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald), a Boston-raised teenager who moves to Bomont to live with his uncle and his family following the death of his mother to leukemia and his father's earlier abandonment. Throughout the film, Ren learns more and more about the town's ban on dancing whilst falling for rebellious Ariel Moore (Julianne Hough), the daughter of Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) who set the dancing ban in place after his son Bobby's drunk driving accident caused his death. Through Ariel Ren is able to grant the students a senior prom outside the city limits.

Money Monster: If you like George Clooney and Julia Roberts, then this is a film for you. Clooney portrays Lee Gates, a TV host and Wall Street guru who picks hot stocks on his show "Money Monster". During a live broadcast, irate investor who lost all of his money Kyle Budwell (Jack O'Connell) takes over the set and holds Lee hostage. While Gates tries to plead with Kyle, he's communicating with his producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts) in the control room. Together they try to figure out a way to defuse the impending situation and disarm the young man.

The Intern: If you're retired, a widow, and over 65 years old, become an intern for a top online fashion site.That's exactly what Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) did in this heart-warming comedy/drama starring Anne Hathaway as the over-worked head an online fashion company, Jules Ostin. Combined with Ben's humor and likeable personality, the two begin to form a lasting friendship as their lives intertwine throughout the film.

50 First Dates: This movie is by far one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. He stars as Henry Roth alongside Drew Barrymore who plays Lucy Whitmore, a young woman who resides with her father and brother after a car accident left her brain impaired and unable to keep any short term memories. Initially when Lucy's father and brother learn about Henry they try to keep him away from her because she will never remember him, but soon they come to realize that Henry's intentions with Lucy are exceptionally different than those of his past. 50 First Dates hilariously and romantically displays the effort those of us will go through in order to be with the person they love the most.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
