Midterms are approaching. Midterms are stressful. What’s a good way to cope with stress? Movies.
Next Monday (February 27) at 6PM, Writing at Wesleyan is hosting a movie night! Come, take a load off, eat popcorn and spend a few hours watching a movie about writing (as opposed to, you know, actually writing). Dinner from MONDO will be provided.
Vote for your favorite below!

The contenders:
- Adaptation (2002). A lovelorn screenwriter turns to his less talented twin brother for help when his efforts to adapt a non-fiction book go nowhere. Starring Nicholas Cage and Meryl Streep.
