Must see films for this year

We've got so many great films coming out this year, and a few questionable ones. Like Fifty Shades Darker, and the Emoji movie.... why? That's all I have to say about that. Moving on, because there are so many good-looking films I've decided to help narrow down what ones you should see immediately. There are some guidelines for this list I'd like to point out though. To begin with, this list is in no order. They all look great, and they all deserve an equal chance to be seen. Another thing to mention is that I'm listing movies that already have trailers out. I'm a huge nerd, and I hate when things are spoiled for me. So, to avoid spoiling anything, I won't touch stuff I don't have enough information about. Speaking of there may be some spoilers ahead. So, SPOILER WARNING.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

I'm so excited about this film. Who didn't love baby Groot and watching Rocket's, sort-of, parenting in the trailer? The cast from the original film is back and ready for action, humor, and another great soundtrack. What we know about the film is that Star-Lord is looking for his dad. All we know about his dad is that he's not from Earth, and that he's being played by Kurt Russell. Other than that, it's supposed to be the same idea as the original plot-wise. A group of misfits trying to survive the Galaxy.

2. Wonder Woman

The best part of Batman v. Superman was when Wonder Woman showed up to fight. At first I was apprehensive about Gal Gadot playing the hero, but she was fantastic. She showed up Batman and Superman in that fight. Now this film takes place during World War 1, where were supposed to learn why she stopped fighting until Batman v. Superman. With Chris Pine, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, and many more great actors in this film I have a feeling it's going to be a good one for DC comics.

3. Logan

I already know that there will be tears during this film. This is the last time we will see Hugh Jackman play wolverine. Wolverine was my favorite superhero growing up, right after Batman, so this movie hits close to home. The idea that this is the last time we will see Hugh Jackman play Wolverine already makes me tear up. This film looks like it will be a perfect send off for him. We will finally be able to see how dark Wolverine is meant to be, thanks to Deadpool. If Deadpool didn't do well as a rated R film, we wouldn't be getting this kind of sendoff.

4. Spider-man Homecoming

Marvel owns Spider-man!!! I know this is the third time we are doing Spider-man with a new actor. But it's not an origin story. We've had two of those, which were great, but now we're going head first into a great story line from the comics. Also, Tom Holland was great in Captain America Civil War. He was smart and nerdy, but in a cute adorable way. He kicked butt and made you laugh while doing it. Exactly like Spider-man is supposed to.

5. Kong: Skull Island

We have a brand-new King Kong film. This one doesn't seem like we're only focusing on Kong, but the island he's protecting. We get to see the island natives both human and monster. It doesn't seem like he's going to New York and going nuts on the empire state building in this one. In the trailer, it’s more like a war zone. Man vs. monster. Which side is Kong on? It also has a fantastic cast with Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, John Goodman, and John C. Reilly. This film is in good hands, with this cast alone.

6. The Mummy

Before I begin I'm going to make it clear that this is a standalone movie. It’s not part of the Mummy trilogy that already exist with Imhotep. This is meant to be a reboot of the universal horror classic. This one is about Princess Ahmanet who was denied something in her past, and is going to wreak havoc on mankind because of it. Tom Cruise plays Nick Morton who is like Van Helsing, and Russell Crowe plays Dr. Henry Jekyll. We get the mummy and Dr. Jekyll in one film, sign me up.

7. Baywatch

Comedy is good and it's good for you. Now a comedy with Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron who have played in comedy's before and did well in, sounds fantastic. After watching the trailer I couldn't stop laughing. It looks like good old ridiculous fun, action, and of course comedy. We need some humor after this past year and I think this film can deliver it.

8. The Fate of the Furious


Apparently 2016 was powerful enough to make Dom turn on the Fast and Furious family. In every Fast and Furious film, Dom, has preached that you don't leave behind family. In the trailer not only has he left his family, but he's fighting them. I just want to see this film to know what's happened, and what's going on with Dom. It's got great cars, action, humor, and just fun like the franchise has delivered in the past.

9. Beauty and the Beast

"Tale as old as time. Song as old as rhyme. Beauty and the Beast."- Beauty and the Beast

It’s the classic Disney princess film. So many of us wanted to be Belle when we were little girls. I wanted that library that Beast got her mostly, but love sounds good to. Emma Watson was the perfect actress to cast for the role of Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast. Its cinematography is beautiful, and just looks gorgeous in live action. It'll be fun seeing my favorite Disney film come to life.

10. Cars 3

I've put Cars 3 on this list because the trailer shocked me. Pixar has been known to hit people’s emotions and make us all cry. But to do it in a teaser trailer with the main character, is a hit out of nowhere. Lightning McQueen is seriously injured or worst dead. A trailer told us this, so what are we to expect when the film comes out? All I have to say is well done Pixar, well done.

Mouse, Cookie, Chaos!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.
