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!

A Cool Breeze

Like so many others, I first met Jean Breeze when I was five years old. She would've been thirty-six at the time. Nearly forty-two years later, our time shared on this earth has come to an end. Jean was a kindergarten teacher at Westview Elementary School in Champaign, Illinois. Her classroom -- at least when I was there -- was at the north end of the school, facing John St. It had a row of windows that let in the sunshine, and it was filled with educational materials, toys and various knick-knacks accumulated over the years. We would take naps there every day. Ms. Breeze would read to us daily. It was a fun place to be. I remember my year there fondly.

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...
