With all this cold and rainy weather, leaving the comfort of your dorm and cozy bed are probably not your ideas of a good time. As much as I’m sure you’d love to stay inside and hibernate until spring, sadly you’re not a bear no matter how many days you don’t shave your legs. Going to the movies is a perfect activity no matter what the season, but it’s especially nice when the weather outside is everything but nice. Here are 5 recent releases to check out:
1. Forever My Girl
Alright, I’m a sucker for these kinds of movies. Country music and a love story? I don’t even care that it’s pretty much a wannabe Nicholas Spark movie, sign me up.
2. 12 Strong
According to IMDB, “12 Strong tells the story of the first Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan after 9/11; under the leadership of a new caption, the team must work with an Afghan warlord to take down for the Taliban.” I’ve heard really good things about this American war drama, so definitely check it out.
3. The Post
Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks star in this film. #DreamTeam This American political drama covers the true story of the attempts made by the Washington Post’s to publish the Pentagon Papers.
4. Maze Runner: The Death Cure
Raise your hand if you love running. No one? Then you’re in luck because I’m pretty sure this movie has nothing to do with the actual sport of running. This is the third movie of the Maze Runner series, so it looks like there’s a movie marathon in your future. Trying to find a good read? Check out the books.
