Five Amazing Movies Releasing This Year

2017's line-up of movies looks like one of the best yet. Huge Disney titles such as the live-action "Beauty and the Beast" and "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" look to be great movies in the near future. Many movies are getting a sequel this year such as "Jumanji" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," but there are only a handful of movies that will make a real success. There are many heavier hitters in releasing this year, but only five will truly be amazing. Here they are.

5. Kong: Skull Island

The last King Kong movie that was released was not well accepted among fans. I personally really enjoyed it and I am very excited for this one. There are a few reasons why this movie will be amazing. For one, King Kong is much much larger than in the previous films. The reason he is so much large in this movie is because, in 2020, Godzilla and King Kong will battle it out in their own movie. The previous King Kongs would have no chance at a creature the size of Godzilla and so he had to be enhanced just a bit. Trailers have been released for this movie and look great. "Kong: Skull Island" releases on March 10.

4. Thor Ragnarok

The last two Thor movies didn't do much for me. I thought they were mediocre compared to the other superhero movies that were releasing at the time. The reason I have his third installment on this list is because it has an all-star cast with some other super people in it such as Hulk and Doctor Strange, making this Thor must see. Mark Ruffalo and Benedict Cumberbatch will be reprising their roles as their super alter egos making for an amazing movie to watch. "Thor Ragnarok releases November 3.

3. Power Rangers

When I was a kid I loved to watch "Power Rangers". My brother always teased me about it, but it was too good not to watch. Now I finally get to continue to watch it when I am an adult. With a short film released about the power rangers that was very adult oriented with blood and sex, a huge movement for a more adult version of a film to be made started and it's finally happening. "Power Rangers" does have a trailer already released and it looks amazing of course. The trailer shows a little bit of how they obtain their abilities and what happens soon after. They also give a sneak peak at the enemy that is to come. "Power Rangers" opens up in theaters this March 24.

2. Star Wars Episode VIII

Star Wars had to make this list but is unable to obtain the top spot due to other factors. Episode eight will release December 15 like all the previous Star Wars movies. There is no trailer for it yet, but Kathleen Kennedy says there will be one around the beginning of spring. That is when all the nerds will begin to speculate hardcore. Episode eight is bound to be a huge episode that will answer many questions that we all have and I'm sure we will have many more questions once it's over.

1. Alien Covenant

"Alien" is my favorite movie of all time. I love Star Wars, but nothing can beat the horror aspect and the iconic work of the movie "Alien." Ridley Scott returns after directing the sequel to "Prometheus" which is a prequel to "Alien." Many people did not like some of the plot holes "Prometheus" had such as the advanced technology and a few characters but overall, I personally enjoyed it. "Alien Covenant" does have a trailer and it is going straight to the horror genre within the first few seconds. Ridley Scott is taking us back to those enclosed dark spaces and terrifying locations like he did in the original film. "Alien Covenant" releases on May 19.

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.
