2016’s Best Movies So Far by Cieno: 1:27pm On Aug 15, 2016
We’re halfway through the year, and it’s time to take a snapshot of the best movies that 2016 has to offer so far. As these films sit with us and more of our critics see them all, the order may change by the time December rolls around. But for now, these are the movies that have had the biggest impact on us in 2016. As usual, there are documentaries, action blockbusters and even a couple of “kids” movies. It’s looking to be a great year for cinema, no matter your tastes. Here are the best movies of 2016 yet:

You might’ve missed your chance to see these movies in theaters, but you should definitely be on the lookout for when these movies come out on DVD or On Demand.

Barbershop: The Next Cut

Truth be told, many moviegoers thought they were done with the Barbershop series. Who even remembered that it was turned into a short-lived Showtime sitcom starring Omar Gooding? So it was surprising that Ice Cube and the gang got together (alongside Common and Nicki Minaj) to tackle the ongoing issues in the city of Chicago for another installation. With both a beauty salon and a barber shop in Calvin’s establishment, The Next Cut’s banter is all over the place, with jokes about social media and Obama being mixed with more serious issues of gang violence and police brutality. Instead of the film riding the humorous wave though, this time it actually gets serious, delving deeply into the heart of the community of Chicago, and one shop’s aim to do something about it. While the middle tends to drag a bit, the movie as a whole is a welcome return to the franchise.

Captain America: Civil War


Now this one is for fans of the Marvel movies, they are definitely in for a treat with its newest release. Captain America: Civil War is the third installment of the Captain America film franchise and the thirteenth in the Marvel Universe.
With the classic cast, this movie follows Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. as Captain America and Iron Man, respectively, with appearances from other characters like Black Widow and Hawkeye.
We see the Winter Soldier and Falcon make re-appearances in the Captain America film series and new characters like Black Panther appear. The film follows the Avengers struggle as the U.N. tries to keep them and their actions under control while the villain causes trouble at the U.N. and with the Winter Soldier to lead Tony Stark to the ultimate truth about his parents’ death

The Meddler

One of the most delightful romantic comedies of the year, The Meddler doesn’t focus on twentysomethings working in New York media. It focuses on two people in their sixties after they’ve lived so, so much of their lives. Starring (still the hottest woman ever) Susan Sarandon as Marnie, a recent widow who, after inheriting a boat load of money moves to Los Angeles essentially to bug her depressed, recently single, screenwriter daughter, Lori (Rose Byrne). Lori’s not having Marnie’s constant calls, texts and drop by visits. So Marnie adapts as she does best, meddling in other people’s lives. This leads her to a chance encounter with Zipper (J.K. Simmons), a retired cop with whom she bonds. Lorene Scafaria’s film feels like a Nora Ephron/Nancy Meyers hybrid parfait—full of sweetness and light and fizzy romance—but also explores how aimless one can feel even in the later part of life, trying to grasp onto some purpose for being around.

The Jungle Book

While most are familiar with the cartoon version of The Jungle Book, 2016 brought about the release of a live action version. A captivating retelling of the original story, the film follows Mowgli, an orphan who is lead through the jungle by a group of animal companions. Like the classic story, he tries to evade tiger, Shere Khan. While Neel Sethi makes his debut appearance as Mowgli, the voices of the film are made up by celebrities like Bill Murray, Idris Elba, and Scarlett Johansson.

Deadpool

A perfect mixture of action and laughs, Deadpool follows the story of Wade Wilson who after finding he has cancer, undergoes an out-of-this-world treatment which gives him ultra-healing capabilities but leaves him with scars all over his body. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds who’s on a mission to track down and kill the man responsible for his operation. The eighth installment of the X-Men series, Deadpool is the first to be rated R, so be sure to leave the kiddies elsewhere.

O.J.: Made in America

A 7.5 hour documentary about O.J. Simpson? After The People vs. O.J. Simpson just a couple months ago? What more could possibly be said about the most discussed legal case of the last 25 years? A whole lot, apparently. With uncommon depth, unflinching candor, and surprising empathy for the man himself, director Ezra Edelman turns Simpson’s life and times into a full-blown Shakespearean tragedy, and shows how a community was so literally and metaphorically beaten down by its own police force that they would not only overlook a mountain of physical evidence to find a man innocent, but would turn him into a folk hero in the process. This is the sports documentary by which all future sports documentaries will be measured, and an instant classic

Central Intelligence


If you’re looking for a night filled with laughs, Central Intelligence starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Kevin Hart is a great pick and a definite box office hit. This film stars ‘a little Hart and a big Johnson’ who were high school friends as they try to thwart the criminal, Black Badger, from stealing satellite codes and millions of dollars.

We’ve seen really great movies this year and fans are extremely pleased. If the first half of the year is anything to go by, we can imagine that the rest of 2016 will include a great roster of films, as well.
