9 Must See Movies For Winter Break

You know where I'll be over the break.

9 Must See Movies For Winter Break
IMDb

Everybody knows that summer and Christmas are the best seasons for new movie releases. As Christmas break is coming up quickly, here is a look at the most intriguing movies coming out this December.

1. La La Land

Coming to theaters December 9, "La La Land" already looks like an award-winner. With the combination of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, this movie is bound to be successful. Stone plays an aspiring actress that falls in love with a jazz pianist played by Gosling. This movie seems like the musical experience that everybody needs in their lives right now.

2. Collateral Beauty

"Collateral Beauty," releasing December 16, already looks like enough to make me cry. The premise is kind of hard to explain in a few sentences, so I highly suggest watching the trailer. Who doesn't want to see a movie with Will Smith anyway?

3. Rogue One

"Rogue One" is a Star Wars story that takes you back to stealing the Death Star. While it is not a Star Wars episode, it is one of several Star Wars stories to come in between the new Star Wars episode installments. I'm sure all the Star Wars lovers out there have already purchased their tickets.

4. The Space Between Us

Cheesy? Yes. Unrealistic? Also yes. But "The Space Between Us" definitely looks heartwarming. The first child born on Mars comes to Earth, having other-worldly experiences and falling in love with a girl from Earth played by up-and-coming actor Britt Robertson. I realize it seems stupid, but watch the trailer and you might think otherwise.

5. Passengers

"Passengers" hits theaters right before Christmas, on December 23. Another movie involving space and humans on another planet, "Passengers" is also a bit hard to explain in a few sentences. I highly recommend watching the trailer if you have not already seen it. Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence should be enough to convince you.

6. Sing

I already know this movie is not for everyone, but for all the fans of "Zootopia" this movie is probably for you. On top of being incredibly star-studded, "Sing" just looks like an adorable animated movie full of applicable life lessons and a lot of talent.

7. Why Him?

Also not for everybody, "Why Him?" stars James Franco playing the rich, tattooed boyfriend meeting his girlfriend's parents, and of course not getting along with his girlfriend's father. If you need a good laugh, I'm pretty sure this movie will provide that for you.

8. Hidden Figures

Based on a true story, "Hidden Figures" is about three African-American women who work for NASA at the time of 1969 Apollo 11 flight to the moon. Being both African-American and women, they are rarely given the credit or attention they deserve as brilliant mathematicians. It truly looks like an amazing biographical movie.

9. Fences

This movie trailer is almost too intense to try and describe by myself. You know with Viola Davis and Denzel Washington this movie is going to be fantastic. Watch the trailer for yourself, and you'll understand why this is a must-see movie.

As you can see, there are plenty of fantastic movies coming out in the next four weeks. I highly recommend seeing at least one of these, as I'm predicting they'll be highly talked about.

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.

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.
