Mind-Blowing Movies You Need To Watch
Blogspot

We all have seen those movies, the ones where you watch them and you are still thinking about them after the screen goes dark, asking yourself a series of questions. “What just happened?” “So did she die?” “Wait, did they figure it out?” Some questions along those lines may be the first to pop into your head.

These movies are the movies that stand out, the topic of party conversation, a hot topic on social media and so on. Movies like these show the true power of filmmaking, the art of being immersed in a mystery or a thriller, or even a true story. A movie that you are still reeling from even after it is done. We all have seen movies like this. I have seen a few, and I wanted to share them with you. If you want to watch a movie where you have to think, want to be confused or even freaked out... Here is the list for you.

Inception

A mind-bending movie list would be virtually incomplete without this Christopher Nolan soon-to-be classic. Inception rattled the brains of viewers, people emerging from theaters saying "Was it a dream inside of a dream? Or a dream inside of dream inside of another dream?" Woo, talk about a tongue twister. This movie is definitely one worth watching, but play close attention if you miss a few minutes, you may have to utilize that rewind button.


Gone Girl

When I went and saw this movie in theaters, there was an audible "holy sh*t" said in the audience at one scene. This was a movie where you go in not knowing what to expect, and when you come out you are in complete shock. I highly recommend this movie. Trust me, you will not be let down.


Interstellar

Another Christopher Nolan production has made its way on the list. Interstellar may have seemed like a typical space movie to begin with, but boy is it far from it. Matthew McConaughey hits the nail on the head with this movie. I actually walked out of the theater and my chest hurt from how stressed and tense I was. So fair warning, stressful, but an excellent movie.


The Game

If you ever question watching this movie, just look at the actors who are in it. Michael Douglas and Sean Penn completely knock it out of the park with this puzzle. Throughout the movie you will be asking question upon question only to find out, what you thought was going to happen next doesn't. Only something more crazy does.


Prisoners

Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, Paul Dano, Terrence Howard, and more top notch actors take home the gold with "Prisoners." The climatic trailer already leaves you speechless, and if you didn't think it got any more suspenseful. There is a maze involved.


The Call

Tears were shed, hearts were racing and palms were sweating during this movie. It's emotional and thrilling as the incredible Halle Berry races to save the life of Abigail Breslin. Some of the saddest yet truthful movies happen to be some of the best.


Déjà Vu

Last but definitely not least, "Déjà Vu" with Denzel Washington is a movie that will keep your eyes almost glued to the screen. We all experience déjà vu in our lifetimes, but never to this extent.



Each movie has its own qualities, its own story to tell, its own message. Some movies stick with you as time goes on, some you forget, and there are some that you will remember because of the gripping story, how it made you feel, etc.

This list of movies is just that, movies that keep you on the edge of your seat, keep you talking about it for days, and even keep you re-watching. They may have crazy plots, and bizarre endings, but there are so worth it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
