The Top Ten Blockbuster Movies Of 2016

Here's the Top Ten Movies you've gotta catch in theaters this blockbuster season! (In order of release date!)

Stars: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavil

With a new Batman (so long Christian Bale hello incredibly age-less Ben Affleck!), Batman vs Superman kicks off an early blockbuster season with this semi-sequel to 2013’s “Man of Steel”. Expect dimpled chins, structured jawlines and lots of skin tight spandex.

March 25th

“My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2”

Stars: Nia Vardalos, John Corbett

The long-awaited sequel to sleeper hit My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) countless middle-aged mothers (and certain Odyssey writers who will remain nameless) are losing their minds over what’s sure to be a perfect mix of Greek imagery and John Corbett’s over the top hot Dad-bod.

April 15th “The Jungle Book”

Stars: Idris Elba, Lupita Nyongo, Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray

Following the trend of taking classic animated Disney films and reworking them into live action spectacles, “The Jungle Book” is pulling out all the stops with a stellar cast, seemingly astounding special effects and of course a jazz-influenced soundtrack that specializes in relaxation.

April 22nd “The Huntsman: Winter’s War”

Stars: Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, Chris Hemsworth

Following the success of “Snow White and the Huntsman”, this prequel/sequel features a strong cast and an interesting premise. If only this recovering Twihard could forgive the first movie for breaking up Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. #neverforget

May 6th “Captain America: Civil War”

Stars: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Miscellaneous Avengers

Is it still legal to have a year go by without a new edition to the Marvel Universe? No? Great! Bringing back your old favorites (and making them fight each other!), Civil War is sure to be not just a box office success but also an interesting perspective in an increasingly crowded cinematic universe.

May 27th “X-Men: Apocalypse”

Stars: Michael Fassbender, James MacAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Issac

Another super movie featuring superheroes (or mutants, if you’re nerdy that way), this latest edition is using all the familiar tricks to make a summer blockbuster go down in ticket sales history (at least until the next Avengers comes out)!

July 17th “Finding Dory”

Stars: Ellen Degeneres, Childhood Dreams Realized

Normally I’d call bullshit on yet another spin off (check out this list of almost exclusively sequels/remakes) but like the upcoming Ghostbusters remake, I’m just too excited about this movie to care. Featuring our favorite forgetful fish voiced by our favorite dancing talk show host, “Finding Dory” is going to be the children’s movie of the year...and the nostalgic millennials yearning for the innocence of youth movie of the year as well.

July 22nd “Star Trek Beyond”

Stars: Chris Pine, Idirs Elba, Zoe Saldana, Zachery Quinto

The latest edition to the second greatest space epic of our time (that’s right Trekkies, I’m an Anakin girl through and through) looks like it’s going to be offering up more of that good stuff that keeps moviegoers going back for more. Plus Idris Elba! Who doesn’t love him?

July 29th “Jason Bourne”

Stars: Matt Damon, Alicia Vikander

He kicks, he punches, he steals identities, he somehow manages to evade capture by one of the most powerful governments that's ever existed- he’s Matt Damon looking damn fine in that movie still they released a few months ago. Yes America, Jason Bourne is back and in true Bourne fashion, audiences are left scratching their heads about why he ever left.

August 5th “Suicide Squad”

Stars: Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto

The final edition to our list is one of the most interesting. Sure, “Suicide Squad” looks like just another piece in the puzzle of superhero movie’s world domination but with the plot focusing on a band of supposed bad guys maybe “Suicide Squad” will have what it takes to break the movies of their familiar moulds.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
