2016

Now that Christmas is over, I wanted to write about all things Film, TV and Netflix for 2016.

I doubt I will be the only person spending all my money in the cinema next year. DC and Marvel (as usual) promise to bring epic blockbusters next year through the explosive trailers that have been released super early.

And because i'm such a geek, I have been reading up on some really outgoing fan theories surrounding films like Suicide Squad and Captain America: Civil War. (If you are interested its worth checking out - they are usually 100% wrong but I think they show interesting narratives).

Not only are the Superhero films going to explode onto screen, but Disney are also cashing in through remake after remake. This is something most people tend to criticize, but how excited were you when you saw The Jungle Book Trailer? Exactly.

So here it is, my top 10 of films everyone MUST see in 2016. I'll probably just live in the cinema next year.


10. Zoolander 2 (February) 

Derek and Hansel are back next year for the first time since their male model debut in 2001. I just hope the sequel is as funny as the first. Male models, celebrity cameos, and Will Ferrell. I will definitely be seeing this one. 


9. X Men: Apocalypse (May)

Points to Marvel, another X Men Movie promises us more action, drama and the mutants we all either love or hate. Personally, I am not a huge X Men fan, but this movie is a must see with 2016's Superhero takeover. 


8. The Legend of Tarzan (July) 

Warner Brothers recreate a classic story of a boy raised by gorillas. Personally, this is one of my top Disney classics, so I hope they do the original animation justice. Excellent cast with Margot Robbie and Christoph Waltz - from the trailer, its seems to have a 2005 King Kong vibe to it. But still can't wait to see what is in store for Tarzan. 


7. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (November)

Set 70 years before Harry Potter and his friends attended Hogwarts, Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) discovers New York's secret community of witches and wizards. This fantasy adventure from J.K Rowling herself, hopes to relive the magic of Harry Potter and offer more from the world of wizards that we all know and love.  


6. The BFG (July)

When I first saw the trailer for The BFG, I had goosebumps. Disney are re-inventing the British childhood classic we all remember from the old TV being wheeled into classrooms on a rainy day. And Disney has already done it justice from its not so revealing trailer. I hope they stick to the original story and maybe even include some of those songs! 


5. The Jungle Book (April)

Another remake from Disney, The Jungle Book is set to release in 2016. With a much darker undertone, the trailer guarantees us a phenomenal cast, spectacular imagery and all the classic characters from the original.  


4. Deadpool (February)

Not like any other Superhero movie, as the trailer suggests. If you know the character of Deadpool, you know this is NOT a family film. Ryan Reynolds suits up as the funny, crude and no sh*t talking anti-hero. Watch the red band trailer for a glimpse of this VERY different superhero flick. 


3. Captain America: Civil War (May)

Okay, so the trailer might have made me cry. Captain America battles with his own morals and his 'friends' in the upcoming sequel and promises audiences an epic battle between himself and Iron Man. The trailer also reveals Black Panther - a massively important character in Marvel comics. Can't wait to see these iconic characters in action!


2. Batman Vs Superman (March)

DC time. As Marvel and DC have always done, they are head to head again with head to head movies. Iron Man Vs Captain America and Batman Vs Superman. (I am slightly biased being a DC fan, so that's why this is number 2.) The latest trailer has made me even more excited for this movie. Although there has been a lot of criticism over Batfleck, from what we see in the trailer, I think he might just surprise everyone. I will most likely write a full blog when the movie is out, so I won't go on to much. I just know I will be in the front row for this one. Oh and there's Wonder Woman. 





1. Suicide Squad (August) 

And finally, my top pick for next year is Suicide Squad. Since Warner Brothers decided to release a full trailer after its leak at comic con earlier this year, I have probably watched it over a hundred times. Lets just hope the film lives up to its much anticipated arrival. For those who don't know, the highly skilled bad guys from the DC Universe are summoned together by the Government for a dangerous mission. Much of the details of the upcoming film have been kept under wraps, although from the trailer, Batman does make an appearance at some point. We can also see the link between him and his nemesis, the Joker, in the Batman Vs Superman trailer via Robin's suit in the Bat Cave. Again, I will most likely write a blog on this when the movie has been released but until then, I will probably just watch the trailer again and again. 



So that's it! If your feeling the January blues, just remember what Hollywood is offering in 2016. Happy New Year and Happy viewing!
