Fall semester is officially in full swing at Sinclair College<\/a>. As the homework, quizzes and tests begin to pile on, students are sure to be looking for a way to relax. Luckily movie marathons are the perfect getaway from academic stress. Here is a list of our top five movie picks for the upcoming fall season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing more satisfying than having a good laugh after a long week of academic commitment. Starring Liam Neeson<\/a> somewhat uncharacteristically, this film remodels an old classic with a fresh touch.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is based on the TV show \u201cPolice Squad\u201d. However, this is not your typical brute crime movie. This movie\u2019s commitment to having a joke gag every 45 seconds is astounding, and guaranteed to incite some involuntary laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This movie truly needs no introduction. Tom Cruise<\/a> is back on the silver screen for one last ride as \u201cMission Impossible\u201d returns.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his final spin as Ethan Hunt, he goes rogue in his attempt to track down, Gabriel, the Entity\u2019s former proxy. This attempt takes another twist as he is captured by Gabriel. This movie is a great watch especially together with friends as Tom Cruise risks his life for our entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freakier Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Relive the 2003 classic as Freaky Friday gets a new reboot on Disney. It features its signature body-swap gimmick. However, there is more swaps this time, making it an even freakier Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A palm reading from a psychic takes an unexpected turn as a series of body swaps occur. Anna (Lindsay Lohan) swaps with Harper, her 15-year-old daughter, while Anna\u2019s incoming stepdaughter, Lilly, swaps with Anna\u2019s mom, Tessa. Confusing? You need to see this to appreciate the state of it. Have a good laugh with friends by seeing the masterpiece on a cozy weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Roses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

This movie is a great watch especially for college students as it explores the complexities of relationships. Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Ivy Rose, a once near-perfect couple go through a series of relationship trials as Theo\u2019s finances takes a nosedive while Ivy\u2019s businesses flourish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would ideally be a supportive phase for the couple turns out to be a power-struggle, sort of. Featuring intense dialogue, light-hearted moments, comic relief and very relatable, this movie is a must-watch. \u201cThe Roses\u201d is showing in theaters now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wicked (2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoy magic and fantasy, then this movie is for you. Wicked is trending again for its exciting and enthralling storytelling, and rightly so too. This movie is the prequel to the infamous Wizard of Oz. <\/p>\n\n\n
