So we reach the halfway mark of the year so here are my awards for 2016 so far!!!!!!!
TOP THREE FILMS OF THE YEAR AWARD
Sing Street
Just wonderful and it is a shame it did not get a wider release.
Funny, sweet, and some pretty good 80's music.
Available for release for home viewing July 26th.
The Nice Guys
What a great team of Gosling and Crowe.
Action and comedy mixed with some real emotions.
Still out in the theaters
10 Cloverfield Lane
You really do not need to see Cloverfield to watch it. You just have to know about it.
So intense!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now available for home viewing.
THE THREE WORST FILMS OF THE YEAR AWARD
This was tough. It really has not been a good year for movies so there were so many choices.
Divergent Series Allegiant
Please make it stop!! I have never seen so many people in one film mailing it in.

How can a film from such a funny family get zero laughs. None. Nada. Zip.

MOST DECEIVING TRAILER AWARD
The Lobster
A violent scary film. Who would have thought.
WHAT WERE CRITICS THINKING AWARD
Everybody Wants Some
Critics loved it. In actuality you could have fell asleep in the middle and missed nothing.
