2016 is finally over, and with it goes a year of pretty great movies: Arrival, La La Land, Swiss Army Man, Hell or High Water, The Nice Guys, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Moonlight, Hail Caesar!, Into the Inferno, Everybody Wants Some!!, Suicide Squa—wait! What the fuck! Get the fuck out of here, Suicide Squad!
Did Suicide Squad leave? Is it gone?
Okay, cool. Sorry about that. Anyway: Thank god 2016 is over, and while—movie-wise, at least—it didn’t disappoint, we’re already looking forward to 2017.
20th Century Women—The latest from Mike Mills (Beginners), starring Annette Bening, Greta Gerwig, and Elle Fanning.
Alien: Covenant—Is it the sequel to Prometheus? Is it an Alien sequel? Does it feature James Franco for some reason? Yes! And with Ridley Scott directing, it’ll likely be equal parts breathtaking and frustrating.
Baby Driver—Edgar Wright’s mysterious, action-filled latest will involve... cars. Somehow. And given Wright’s track record (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End, Scott Pilgrim) it’ll probably be fucking fantastic.
The Bad Batch—Ana Lily Amirpour’s follow-up to A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. It has cannibals!
