The Horrible Lineup Of Films Coming Out This Year

9 Movies 2017 Doesn't Need
List Challenge

Among the Hollywood blockbusters coming out this year, there are some films that shouldn't have even made the lineup:

1. The Mummy.


If I hadn't known what I was already watching, I never would have guessed The Mummy's trailer was an actually Mummy film. Instead it's an explosion fest featuring Tom Cruise. It's nice seeing a female mummy, but there doesn't appear to be an substance to this film.

2. The Fate of the Furious.

The last Fast and Furious film had a perfect send off to the late Paul Walker. Yet the franchise doesn't appear to be finished, and another film is coming out this year.

3. Fifty Shades Darker.

For Valentine's Day we will be treated to another film riddled in unhealthy relationships and rape culture. It's a sequel for a film that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

4. Monster Trucks.

While this film has already been released (in 2016 internationally, 2017 domestically), it has to be on the list. Paramount had a $125 million dollar budget for this kids' film featuring monsters inside trucks. It won't be making its money back.

5. Smurfs: The Lost Village.

Once again we're treated to a bad movie with blue people (sadly I'm not talking about the other one, Avatar). This is the third film in Sony's franchise of the smurfs. The second film only made a fraction compared to the first, making it unclear why a third was needed.

6. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

After Johnny Depp's abuse scandal, it's surprising that he's still getting jobs. But that's Hollywood for you. With the last film being a bore, it's time for Disney to lower the pirate flag on this franchise.

7. Despicable Me 3.

Illuminations Studios is bring in the money with their annoying army of Minions. I'm not looking forward to the commercials featuring those yellow nightmares.

8. The Emoji Movie.

I feel like this idea was came up by an old guy trying to figure out a movie that's trying to stay hip. I have no words for this film.

9. Jumanji.

In honor of Robin Williams, it's sad to see one of his beloved classics being remade so soon. I have nothing against the actors in the remake, but it's not a movie I'll be seeing.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
