2016 Preview

2015 was the year both of the sequel and the euphemism for the sequel - the Reboot (  think Star Wars/the Force Awakens, the Terminator/Genysis), Jurrasic Park/World.  It must be easier to get funding with a proven story, not matter how good or bad (Point Break, Robocop).  Even Tarantino feels like a second verse now.

My favorite movies of 2016 were the original ones (Bridge of Spies, Ex Machina, Spotlight).   The five star movies.  Here's to more of them in 2016.  But I'll see them all - I admit,  I like the second verse too.

January 8   - The Revenant - starring Leonardo Di Caprio

January 15 - 13 Hours - directed by Michael Bay on the Benghazi attack

February 5 - Hail Caesar - the Coen Brothers do Old Style Hollywood

February 12 - Valentine's Weekend - big movie time

     Zoolander No. 2 - Why not?

     Deadpool - another back shelf Marvel story - they're always good


March 8 - Divergent:  Allegiant  - Part III

** and the best for later **

March 25 - Batman v. Superman:  Dawn of Justice




April 15 - Everybody Wants Some -  Boyhood Goes to College - Richard Linklater
