There was no doubt in my mind when I saw the previews for Ocean's 8 a couple months ago I would see it the first day it came out and so I did just that. Just a forewarning there may be spoilers further down in the article, so if you don't want to know some of the things that happen than just go see the movie right now. Or just keep reading to find out the eight reasons why you should go see the movie anyways.

1. The Cast

I saw the trailer for this film and wanted to see it straight away just for the cast alone. The main characters of the movie star Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina. The list doesn't stop there with familiar faces making the screen only you can point out when you see the film.

2. Women empowerment

If you're a woman who is proud to be a woman you're destined to see this movie. I think this movie came out in such an important time with the 'Times Up' movement happening and how active women are in standing up for their rights in the time and age right now.

3. Comedy

Even though it's more of an action/crime/thriller movie, with a cast like this how can't there be any comedy. It's fun to see this many characters constantly interact with each other, because it's unusual to have this many main characters in one film. And who doesn't like to laugh?

4. It’s not a reboot

Sometimes reboots can ruin an ongoing movie series, but this is not even a passing of the torch. As some of you may know, the Ocean's series began in 2001 with Ocean's Eleven and ended in 2007 with Ocean's Thirteen, but this movie is not directly related to the sequels. It's a parallel story of another family member that was raised in the same family as Danny Ocean was, but this is strictly about Debbie Ocean and her story.

5. It’s stylish

This film is elegant and glamorous with splashes of street style. From Cartier to Vogue to the Met Gala its high-end and these ladies fashion senses don't disappoint. There is Jamaican flare, chic bright suits, skater-boy street style, fashion designers and more to accommodate for almost all fashion tastes.

6. Vivid personalities

Of course an all-female cast will only show off all the colorful personalities that go with it. You get to see how a computer hacker, fashion designer, celebrity, jewelry maker, profiteer, street hustler and the brains behind it all happen to mix and each get a moment or two to shine.

7. Inside the Met Gala

Now I know I'm not the only person in the world that wonders what happens inside the Met Gala. The film gives a bit of an exclusive look inside one of Hollywood's biggest events. Even though it may not be exactly how the Met goes, it made me believe it.

8. The ladies totally became best friends

I mean who wouldn't want to become best friends with powerful women like this cast. It's always fun to hear stories of what happened off camera and how they now have a group chat they text in. Women who empower each other and actually become friends with each other from a movie, especially 8 women, is hard to come by.

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.

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.
