What to watch this winter

What+to+watch+this+winter
Mat Jacowleff

*Disclaimer* I am certainly not a movie critic, rather I am a fan of a good old fashioned cinematic experience.

1. The Wolf of Wall Street– A must-see drama-filled screenplay accounting the true story of Jordan Belfort’s dramatic rise and fall on Wall Street. Definitely not a family movie (unless you want to be put in extremely awkward and uncomfortable situations), but the hard hitting action from start to finish is worth the ticket. Warning: It is three hours long, so plan your bathroom breaks accordingly.

2. Anchorman 2– The legend of Ron Burgundy and his news crew continues as they attempt to launch the first 24-hour news network in history, with a couple of ridiculous twists and turns along the way. This could not be a more absurd movie, but it is perfect guy-humor that will have you laughing so hard you will take a plunge out of your seat.   You can’t miss the historic revival of one of the most classic comedies of all time.

3. Grudge Match– Sylvester Stallone makes his return to boxing movies (as he desperately attempts to stay relevant after the Rocky movies), in a film about two famed boxers squaring off for their much hyped grudge match, 30 years after their last fight. So basically, it is an old geezer brawl, sign me up.

4. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty– Ben Stiller directs and acts in the highly rated film dealing with a man who after realizing he hasn’t accomplished anything worthwhile, goes on the adventure of a lifetime. Not gonna lie, you might want to bring tissues.

5. American Hustle– In this wild film, a well-known con man, played by Christian Bale, is forced to work for an FBI agent while finding himself in troubling situations at every turn.

About the Contributor
Mat Jacowleff, Director of Social Media
On the football field, Mat Jacowleff ‘15 is unstoppable. He is a ferocious linebacker, a boisterous leader, and a loyal teammate. To Jacowleff, football is more than a sport, it is a passion. After nine years of hard work and dedication, Jacowleff has worked himself into a position as not only one of the starters on the Staples varsity squad, but as one of the four captains as well. About this role, Jacowleff stated, “I’ve always been a leader, so I really enjoy being a captain.” Off the field, Jacowleff is one of the social media editors for Inklings. His favorite subjects include English and journalism. “I love journalism because it’s a mix of writing and talking to new, interesting people,” explained Jacowleff. Next year, when Jacowleff ventures to college, he hopes to study something that involves writing, so a journalistic career could be in store in just a few short years. Academics and football are not the only things that attract Jacowleff, as he runs a May-September wiffle-ball league consisting of his neighbors and close friends. The league is quite serious and has been going on for a few years now, with a website containing career statistics, including batting average and home-runs. Jacowleff is also a baby-sitter, having some very interesting experiences, including a time when it was just him and five unrelated small children. As a brother, son, teammate, student and journalist, Jacowleff is always on the lookout for new and exciting experiences. He foresees success in his senior year, both with and without a football helmet on.
