Five Movies to See This November

As the conclusion of 2016 comes to a rapid close, many movie buffs are already looking ahead to the exciting releases that are on the brink come 2017. However, there are still some good films on the horizon of November 2016. Throughout my investigations into the movie scene, I remained pretty unimpressed by the trailers are synopses of the films that are to be released this month. However, below are some that I think while be worth the price of admission to your nearest overpriced movie theater.

Doctor Strange- Releasing November 4th

The latest character in a long chain of Marvel superheroes, Doctor Strange tells the story of Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose life is dramatically altered after a near-fatal car accident that will provide him with earth-shattering abilities (and a sick cape,) as he faces a dark battle against forces not of this world. As a superhero nerd myself, I'm very excited to see what Cumberbatch does with this unique and underrated character.

Loving- Releasing November 4th

Being released by cinematic mega-minds, Focus Features and Universal Studios, Loving tells the story of an interracial marriage during a time when those types of things didn't really fly. Starring Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga, Loving is based off a true story, and is sure to pull at even the toughest of heart strings. I'm not one of sappy love stories, but this is a film I will definitely be seeing.

Arrival- Releasing November 11th

As legitimately terrified as I am of a real-life alien invasion, Arrival looks pretty sick. Starring Amy Adams as Linguistics professor Louise Banks, this film features a very Independence Day-esqe story line as 12 alien space ships touch down around the globe. But the question is, are the here to blow us up just like Independence Day? Or are they our friends? Early-screening reviews have culminated to a whopping 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, a nearly unheard of score. That alone is enough to get my attention.

Shut In- Releasing November 11th

Another film following the trend of titles under three syllables is Shut In, set to release on November 11th. Naomi Watts, a psychologist recovering from a car accident that killed her husband and paralyzed her son, realizes that she's not alone when she's caring for her paralyzed son in her forest-isolated home. Conveniently cut off from the rest of the world after a bad storm, Watts is alone with this stranger who is obviously unfriendly. Shut In looks scary as hell for sure, and I'm itching for a nice thriller to make me jump out of my skin.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them- Releasing November 18th

Admittedly, my heart begins to flutter when I see anything Harry Potter-related or anything with J.K Rowling's name involved, but Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them looks like a suitable flick for even the non-HP fan. Eddie Redmayne portrays the aloof yet brilliant Newt Scamander, a character that is no longer alive when the HP readers meet Harry in the mid-90's. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them takes place in New York City, 1926, and is sure to be an adventure of magical proportions. HP fan or not, I recommend this film for anybody seeking some fantasy adventure.

Just because the films above are at the top of my November movie list, doesn't mean they have to be at the top of yours. For the complete list of films being released in America in November 2016, I suggest you visit Moviefone, my go-to for movie scheduling.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
