October is the perfect time to binge some Halloween and horror classics. Here’s a list catered to all tastes recommending five of the best movies to watch during this year’s spooky season.
'Shang-Chi' sets new standard for Marvel's latest phase
“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” is the latest film from Marvel Studios, packing a walloping punch at box offices with a $90 million opening weekend. Because of the pandemic, the theater industry has taken a hit with fewer people going to see movies in theaters, and many preferring to rent or watch movies from the comfort and safety of their own home. However, Shang-Chi’s opening weekend is not only a tale of re-establishing the box office, but a well-deserved win for Marvel’s first Asian-led superhero film.
'Godzilla vs. Kong': Smash hit or monster failure?
Movie theatres facing new challenges
Mulan: A movie worth paying for?
Niki Caro’s vision for Mulan has been reimagined in the 2020 live-action adaptation. The film premiered on Disney+ on Sept. 4, but it was only available to subscribers after an additional $30 premium access charge. The true debate this movie poses is not if it is watchable, but rather if it is worth the extra $30 fee.
Bill and Ted 3: Excellent or gnarly?
In the third installment of their bogus journey, “Bill and Ted Face the Music,” unlikely heroes and iconic best friends Bill and Ted pick up right where they left off 25 years ago – they’re still trying to write the song that will unite the world, or at least that is what the Great Leader said it would do.

The smell of freshly popped popcorn fills the air. The sound of the voices— partially muffled by the pane of glass in front of them— surround everything. The area is abuzz with excited chatter from people waiting in line to gain their admission and those who already have. While this scene may seem like it is straight out of a movie, it is actually the opposite — it’s the theater during the summer movie season, when kids are out of school, and big-budget movies hit the screens.
