2016's Best!

10 BEST FILMS OF 2016

10.  13 Hours – This tale of events in Benghazi in 2011 is far too good to have the words “A Michael Bay Film” attached to it.

9.  Loving – Slow paced but well done tale of a Virginia couple who just wanted to be married yet became the key cog in the interracial marriage debate.

8.  10 Cloverfield Lane – A different sequel, set in the same world.  Perhaps better than its predecessor.

7.  Sully – A well done tale of a man who never set out to be a hero, he just set out to keep his passengers alive. Great job by Hanks and co.

6.  Deepwater Horizon – Yet another true life tale, woven into a heart racing disaster epic. 

5.  Don’t Breathe – Outstanding horror entry this year, packed one of the hardest hits in a long time

4.  Bad Moms – See Ghostbusters?  This is how to work a great film from an all female cast.  Script does matter.

3.  Captain America : Civil War – Maybe the finest comic book film ever crafted.  Just outstanding

2.  Deadpool – The best time I’ve had at the movies all year, only moments into the credits I knew I’d love this film.

1.  Arrival – A deep, thought provoking, outstanding tale of not what we do when aliens arrive, but what we are as an entity.  Beautiful film and the best I’ve seen all year.

2016's 10 Worst Films!

10 WORST FILMS OF 2016

10.  Rogue One – Not really a bad film per say, but disappointing that a film made 39 years after the film it ties into would have so many continuity errors with its tie in.

9.  Siren – One of the best shorts from the original VHS becomes an overly long feature.  Good idea, shit execution.

8.  Mascots – This made for Netflix tale demonstrated once and for all that the mockumentary is dead.

7.  Yoga Hozers – Kevin Smith continues the freefall that began with his discovery of pot during Zach and Miri make a Porno.  His films are now as bad as his detractors’ say they’ve been. 

6.  Inferno – Yup, that’s what this film should be thrown into.

5.  Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – Another great geek fic turned horrible film.

4.  Suicide Squad – Another in the series of piss poor DC adaptations. 

3.  Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates – No, Mike and Dave need a lobotomy.

2.  Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice – Seriously, it sucks.  Stupid, bad writing….just shit. 

1. Ghostbusters – Every bit as bad as you’ve heard.  Has nothing to do with the female cast, it has everything to do with horrible writing, and every character being the same basic thing.   A piss poor effort from everyone involved, who clearly thought they could just show up and make a worthy film.
