The Top Ten Movies of 2016 (so far)

2016 is now half over which means it’s time to look back at the best of what we’ve seen released so far this year. The list includes four super-hero films, a few unrepentant killers, three animated movies, five sequels, one Oscar winner, and two appearances from the Dark Knight Detective (although not from his disappointing big-screen battle with the Big Blue Boy Scout).

Captain America: Steve Rogers #2

Captain America: Steve Rogers #2I do have to wonder if this is the second issue Marvel Comics and writer Nick Spencer had planned. I have no doubt the story existed, but given the backlash of the first issue I am curious as to whether this story was fast-tracked as it gives away pretty much every secret of the new series in only its second issue.

After last month’s reveal that Captain America has been a Hydra agent all along, Captain America: Steve Rogers #2 explains how that is possible by reintroducing both the audience and the Red Skull to his former Cosmic Cube now in the form of a young girl known as Kobik.

It seems the entity is under the mistaken impression that Hydra is the preferred world leader. Allowing the Red Skull to achieve a level of revenge over his arch-nemesis before thought impossible, Kobik rewrites Steve Rogers mind and memories making Captain America believe he is a card-carrying member of the terrorist organization.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Witch / Teacher's Pet

Following the series’ two-part premiere, creator Joss Whedon and his writing staff made a conscious effort to show that vampires aren’t the only threats drawn to the Hellmouth which Buffy will be forced to battle. In both “Witch” and “Teacher’s Pet” new threats come from unexpected places. Along with giving us Buffy’s limited time as a Sunnydale cheerleader, “Witch” introduces Amy Madison (Elizabeth Anne Allen) who would go on to be famously know as “Amy the rat” for a large chunk of Buffy’s time on television. Here Amy is a victim of her mother (Robin Riker) who has stolen Amy’s body and attacked other cheerleaders in an attempt to make the squad and relive her glory days.
