Midpoint


We're just a little over halfway through 2016, and I've seen 26 of the year's movies (so far). I thought that now would be a good time to rank those movies! Of course, this is just my opinion, one of many. But if you haven't seen some of the films in, say, the top ten, they try and watch them if/when you can.

Ok, here we go....


1. Hello, My Name is Doris
2. Sing Street
3. Eye in the Sky
4. Deadpool
5. The Conjuring 2
6. 10 Cloverfield Lane
7. Midnight Special
8. A Hologram for the King
9. Central Intelligence
10. The Shallows
11. Captain America: Civil War
12. The Nice Guys
13. Everybody Wants Some!!
14. Independence Day: Resurgence
15. The Jungle Book
16. Hail, Caesar!
17. Love & Friendship
18. The Witch
19. The Forest
20. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
21. The Legend of Tarzan
22. The Boy
23. Now You See Me 2
24. Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice
25. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
26. Knight of Cups


And there you have it.

The only films of 2016 that I haven't found redeeming at all are the bottom 3 on this list. Everything has merit of some sort. I'm anxious to see what movies the rest of 2016 has in store!

Yesterday's Restaurants

The local newspaper has a feature from one of Champaign-Urbana's most legendary restaurateur's, John Katsinas, on what his favorite area restaurants were that have now since closed (or will soon be closing).  It's a nice little read, and has made me stop and think about the restaurants that have come and gone that have left an indelible (and edible) impression on me throughout the years. Here we go....

31 Days of Horror Movies: Thir13en Ghosts

While not a scholar or even a purist, I am somewhat of a film snob. Not a big fan of remakes, specifically when the originals don't need updating. It is therefore an unusual position I find myself in, preferring a remake to an original, and by leaps and bounds. Let's take a look at today's feature...

31 Days of Horror Movies: The Woman In Black

Yesterday, we had a lady in white, and today we have.... The Woman In Black Just as Nosferatu was our oldest horror film to be reviewed this month, The Woman In Black is our most recent. Released earlier this year, the film stars Daniel Radcliffe in a more adult role than previously seen in his Harry Potter career. He plays a young lawyer whose wife died in childbirth, so he has been raising their son (mostly) on his own. With money tight, and his job on the line, the young attorney takes an assignment in a remote village, much to his dismay. The small, closed community Radcliffe's character finds himself in is apparently haunted by a woman dressed in all black. When she is seen, a child dies. She is seen quite a lot during the course of the film. The locals get edgy with the attorney, making him feel most unwelcome. And when he is doing his work, sorting through the papers of a deceased elderly woman, he discovers the secret of the woman in black. It doesn't
