The Martian - Sci-Fi/Action
- It's smart, it's funny, it's beautifully made, It's Matt Damon. Damon embodies his character of Mark Watney, who is an undeniable smart-ass genius. This movie also follows the novel incredibly well. I'd recommend this movie to anyone who's a Matt Damon and/or Space fanatic. And I'm not going to lie, I've read the book and watched the movie about 7 times now :) Definitely a 10/10 movie
Mulan - Animation/Family
Okay I know The Martian to Mulan is a big jump but it's deserving to be here. There's one point in my life, I watched this movie once a week for months...it was last year. This Disney Soundtrack is one of the best they have made, don't tell me you don't sing along to I'll Make a Man Out of You. This movie also shows bravery and sacrifice and gives Asian representation. Good Work Disney, I love it.
Moana - Animation/Family
Another Disney movie, yes. But Moana is a beautiful movie. Everytime I watch it, I just feel like summertime and warmth and happiness. The relationship Moana has with her grandma is something that I have with mine. This Disney movie also has an amazing soundtrack. I even sang How Far I'll Go in a Moana costume for a pageant and I actually ended up willing that pageant. Moana helped me become a queen and I hope that it continues to help more girls feel and be queens.
A Haunted House - Comedy/Horror
Okay Disney to Marlon Wayans probably wasn't what you were expecting but hear me out, this movie is comedic. Highly inappropriate but definitely hilarious. This movie is a parody of Paranormal Activity so if scary movies aren't your thing, a Haunted House is where it's at. It's basically the same story line but not scary. But if you watch it, be prepared for some pretty vulgar stuff but it just makes the movie 10 times funnier this way.
Romeo and Juliet - Romance/Drama
- So Romeo and Juliet is my favorite Shakespeare piece and the only thing that would make it better is seeing 90's Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo... Oh wait, in this movie, He is! If you've ever read a Romeo and Juliet and then analyzed it, it'll be easier to understand but if not, you'll just really have to pay attention to what's going on to get the big picture of the movie. The movie is based on modern (80's-90's) times but everything is spoken straight from the Shakespearean language so it's an incredible movie and Romeo/Leonardo DiCaprio is a stud in this movie.
Since we've just been hanging out in quarantine, go ahead and watch a few of these, some will make you laugh, some will make you cry and the others will empower you to be brave. Movies can be a great escape.
