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 lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
