4 Movie Ideas for Valentine's Day
Seeking Alpha

How are you going to celebrate your Valentine's Day? How about dinner followed by movies on your favorite streaming channel? If you are like me, and have a partner that LOVES romance and comedy on the big screen (not), Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to play that card – “I would really love it if we could watch some of my favorite chick-flicks today – that would be the best Valentine’s Day present ever!” Play, set, match.

Cook something cool from a Tasty video, load up on the popcorn, hit the couch, and let Netflix take you away.

Looking for some good Valentine’s Day movie ideas? Here are my top 4 picks for Valentine’s Day, 2017:

1. "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"

The tale of Benjamin Barry, an advertising executive and Andie Anderson, a writer for a magazine. They meet in a bar after making interesting bets with co-workers related to making and breaking relationships. The story is filled with surprises and humor.

2. "Love Actually"

The setting is placed around Christmas time in London. The story follows eight individuals and takes place during the Christmas season in London. It’s a great story and explores relationships at all of their highs an lows - falling in love, companionship, affairs, and heartbreak. The characters’ experiences and moments are relatable to viewers of all ages.

3. "10 Things I Hate About You"

The fun, classic film follows the story of Bianca Stratford, a sophomore in high school, and her sister Katrina, a feminist who hates conventionality. Bianca is not allowed to date unless her sister has a date. A new student to Padua High, Cameron, is dying to take Bianca out. Knowing Mr. Stratford’s rules of dating for his girls, Cameron looks for someone to take Kat out.

4. "50 First Dates"

Veterinarian, Henry Roth, lives in Hawaii and enjoys the company of endless vacationing women with no strings attached until he meets Lucy Whitmore. Henry finally thinks he has met the girl of his dreams until the next day Lucy fails to recognize him. He then discovers that Lucy suffers from short-term memory loss. This discovery makes Henry even more motivated to make her fall in love with him all over again every single day. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are the stars of the film.

I recently read an article that talked about millennials and their obsession with Netflix. I asked 102 University of Iowa students (love social media survey tools!) if it was true. 98% of the students I reached said they had either a Netflix or Hulu account. 58% of them stream 0-5 hours per week, 34% watch 6-10 hours, and 6% watch 11 hours or more per week.

Why are millennials so hooked on Netflix? It’s super convenient. No huge cable bills. You can binge watch! You can watch it on your mobile device, your smart TV, and even your gaming counsels. The original programming is great and there are plenty of other great shows and movies available – and now you can download a lot of the programming to your devices!! Netflix has 83.1 million subscribers and is changing the very nature of “TV.”

For now, my focus turns to picking the best chick flicks to watch on Valentine’s Day, but I am counting the days for "Stranger Things" to come back on air!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
