If you are a movie buff I am here to tell you exactly what movies just got added to Netflix this month and which ones are worth watching. I am ranking the top ten best and worst according to Rotten Tomatoes critic scores, and then ten you should watch anyway!

Why anyone who is a movie buff should watch these next ten films. As everyone knows Rotten Tomatoes is the site to check for movie ratings. This is because it was the first and is one of the only sites that accumulates all critic scores for a movie and then puts them on their site and creates an aggregate score.

Now I tend to like watching movies that are rated 90% or higher because that means that they are received as great films. If I am trying to pick a good movie to watch and really watch then I will more often than not look up its rating to see how others have perceived it and to see if I think it will fall within the types of movies I enjoy to watch. These next ten films are just that.

Top Ten Best: Critic Ratings

1. “AlphaGo”

2. “Unrest”

3. “The Age of Shadows”

4. “Bad Day for the Cut”

5. “The Godfather”

6. “The Godfather: Part II”

7. “Apollo 13”

8. “Strictly Ballroom”

9. “The Truman Show”

10. “Dallas Buyers Club”


Here are the top ten worst movies added to Netflix this month ranked in order to critic scores. All ties were broken by audience scores. This list is for anyone who just wants to watch a bad movie for a night and get a great laugh! Sometimes everyone just wants to watch a bad movie and get a nice laugh. For example, just the other week a group of friends and I watched “The Room” together. We did not watch “The Room” because we thought it was going to be a good movie, but because we know it is so bad that it is funny to watch.

Top Ten Worst: Critic Ratings

1. “License to Wed”

2. “Furry Vengeance”

3. “10,000 B.C.”

4. “Batman & Robin”

5. “The Dukes of Hazzard”

6. “Wild Hogs”

7. “The Vault”

8. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales”

9. “The Lovely Bones”

10. “Before I Wake”


Next are the ten movies you should watch even though they aren't in the top ten best or worst lists. These are for more casual movie watchers that just want a good movie to watch and don’t really care if it is critically acclaimed or not. This list of movies is for sure worth a watch!

The top three on this list to me are just classic movies from all different genres. “Shawshank Redemption” has been rated on IMDB in the top three for several years now. Personally, I can’t wait to watch that movie this month!

As for “Cars 3”, who doesn’t just love Pixar films? Honestly, if you aren’t a fan of them then I am not sure we can be friends. “National Treasure” and “Wedding Crashers” are just national treasures for people my age.

Last on this list is “Batman Begins” which begins the trilogy to the some of the best superhero movies and by FAR the BEST DC movies! This only leaves me with the hope that this year the rest of the trilogy will be on Netflix. These movies are ranked in no particular order.

Top Ten Most Watchable

1. “The Shawshank Redemption”

2. “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”

3. “Lethal Weapon”

4. “King Kong”

5. “Cars 3”

6. “National Treasure”

7. “The Conjuring”

8. “Wedding Crashers”

9. “Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie”

10. “Batman Begins”


Last here is a list of all the movies and tv shows that came to Netflix this month. To the indecisive people of the world, I hope this gives you some ideas for movies to watch this month on Netflix!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
