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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
