Let’s face it — there’s no shortage of thriller movies on the market, and as long as people keep deciding to see Liam Neeson’s daughter get kidnapped not once, not twice, but three times in the “Taken” franchise, there’s never going to be. Thriller movies all tend to follow the same basic formula — a young woman goes missing, the man in her life goes to the violent ends of the earth to find her until the damsel is saved, the villain ends up dead and somehow, the hero manages to escape mostly unscathed with a clean criminal record, despite his questionable activities throughout the mission. In Paul Feig’s “A Simple Favor,” a young woman does indeed go missing — but the stereotyped similarities end there.

Fourth-year Batten and College student Lawrence Simon will be directing the fall production of “Into the Woods” for the student-run theater organization First Year Players.

The past year in feature films has been one for the record books. The big screen has produced a host of history-making moments, from Jordan Peele becoming the first African-American writer/director to surpass $100 million at the box office to Rachel Morrison becoming the first woman ever to be nominated for an Academy Award for Cinematography.

For decades, directors have been making horror movies about a group of friends meeting their demise while camping in supernaturally-infested woods. From “Friday the 13th” to “The Cabin in the Woods,” one would think that every inch of the thematic haunted forest has been trampled on. David Bruckner’s new Netflix horror flick proves that wrong.

“I think we have a uterus and a brain and they both work.” A young Gloria Allred made this statement on the talk show “Dinah!” in the year 1977, leaving the host and live audience speechless. This clip serves as the opening scene for the new Netflix documentary “Seeing Allred,” and for good reason. The image of an outspoken Allred standing confidently amid a sea of sexism-sympathizers and status quo acceptors is a powerful one, setting the tone for the film and symbolizing her career as a champion for equal rights.

Helen Mirren has proved that she has major acting chops time and time again. Her illustrious 50-year career has earned her much more than four Academy Award nominations — and one win, which came in 2006 for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in the film “The Queen.” She was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2003, and thus carries a regal reputation that commands respect.

Australian singer-songwriter Sia has been making music for over 20 years, but she only recently rose to worldwide recognition after releasing her sixth studio album “1000 Forms of Fear” in 2014. The album — featuring famous tracks such as “Chandelier” and “Elastic Heart” — established the singer’s identity as a performer. With her face hidden behind an oversized wig, her crooning voice breaking on the high notes and her songs tackling tough topics like addiction and alcoholism, Sia managed to characterize herself as an artist divergent from the earworms that dominate the Top 100 list.

Alecia Moore — best known as P!nk — has been widely regarded as pop music’s edgiest female vocalist for nearly two decades. She released her debut album,“Can’t Take Me Home,” in 2000, two years after going solo and leaving R&B girl group Choice. Since then, P!nk has been presented as the toughest girl in pop.

Ben Haggerty — more commonly known by his stage name Macklemore — rose to fame overnight with the 2012 release of “Thrift Shop,” a silly earworm chronicling the benefits of buying an entire wardrobe from a secondhand store. The song joined the likes of “Gangnam Style” by South Korean artist PSY and “The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)” by Norwegian duo Ylvis, creating a pop culture phenomenon of ridiculous yet catchy songs spanning 2012 and 2013. The difference between Haggerty and these other artists, however, was that he didn’t become a maintained his global influence. Instead, he politicized his lyrics and his image, becoming a relevant voice in American politics and pop culture.
