Topic: 2016 - The year ahead in movies

Anyone know of anything worthwhile coming up in 2016?

Fuck Marvel and all the other superhero movies. And if you eliminate the other reboots, spin-offs, and franchise instalments (e.g. Bourne 5 FFS), there doesn't seem to be much left.

Anything else? Like, you know, someth'n original?

[Then again, Fury Road, was a franchise movie, and it turned out pretty bloody good]

not long to go now...

Re: 2016 - The year ahead in movies

Looking forward to The Revenant, The Witch and Anomalisa, myself. Granted, two of the three are already in limited release but I'm not in the location to take advantage of that. Couldn't even tell you why I want to see The Witch, exactly, but I'm on a big horror kick and I tend to trust Drew McWeeny's opinion.

There's also a new Refn coming, The Neon Demon. I know absolutely nothing about it but I love Refn's work, so I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Oh shit, I completely forgot that Malick's  The Voyage of Time is due in 2016. I know there wasn't a lot of Tree of Life love around here but it's one of my favorite movies so I'm rather pumped.

Hail, Caesar! by the Coen Brothers looks promising.
Also, Shane Black's The Nice Guys.

Re: 2016 - The year ahead in movies

The Witch is the best film of the year that I've seen thus far, followed by 10 Cloverfield Lane.

Zootopia was surprisingly good.

The Revenant and Hail, Caesar! were both good fun. Well, that's the wrong word for The Revenant.

Still really looking forward to Voyage of Time, which now has an October release date!!! Also Passengers, Lights Out, Knight of Cups, Weightless, and The Neon Demon. Also also, need to see Green Room.

I guess my opinions on Deadpool and Captain America - Civil War are completely void, then.
