Avengers: Infinity War Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Josh Brolin Directed by Joe & Anthony Russo The Story: Intergalactic Titan Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his Black Order set out to find the six Infinity Stones - stones created at the beginning of time that, when combined, would grant their owner unlimited power.  Thanos wishes to use this power to eliminate half of the universe to keep it in balance, and traverses the universe to find them.  The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy band together in order to keep the stones safe, and try to find a way to stop Thanos once and for all. The Synopsis: I have been eagerly awaiting this film for many years now, wondering how it would all play out, and even having dreams of watching it.  It's no small thing to say that "Infinity War" was the most anticipated film I've ever come across, one that I felt could claim the throne as my most favorite film of all time.  Did it ach

I Feel Pretty Starring Amy Schumer, Michelle Williams, Rory Scovel, Emily Ratajkowski Directed by Abby Kohn & Marc Silverstein The Story: Renee Barrett (Amy Schumer) is a low-level worker for a high-brand cosmetics company, and she suffers from severe lack of confidence.  She sees her body as something to be reviled, she's meek and uninteresting, and often apologizes for everything.  She sees beautiful women getting everything they want, and she just wants to feel that beautiful.

Worst2First:  My Favorite Marvel Films Ten years, eighteen movies, one interconnecting theme: "there was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people to see if we could become something more, so when they needed us, we could fight the battles that they never could." Since 2008, Marvel has been slowly unraveling a cinematic universe that's unparalleled in cinematic history, and it all has been leading up to "Avengers: Infinity War," where all the heroes come together in one major, epic, monumental picture as they battle the evil Titan Thanos before he eliminates half the universe. There's been eighteen films in the universe so far, and while some have been standouts, others have fallen a bit short, at least in my opinion.

Worst2First:  My Most Anticipated Films of Summer 2018 As summer fast approaches, it's time for major blockbusters and small independent films to grace the big screen, and this looks to be another great summer at the theaters. There are 38 films on this list, and I will count them down from the films I'm least interested in seeing all the way to my most anticipated movie of the summer.  **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS Also, dates of films are subject to change** #38 Teen Titans Go! To the Movies July 27 Last summer, I pegged "The Emoji Movie" as the worst film of the summer, and I was more right than I even imagined (the film even "won" several Razzie Awards), and this year it looks like another animated film will be the worst of the summer.  The original "Teen Titans" series was amazing with adult-themed topics, intense action, and strong character development.  Then the series did a reboot and catered to younger kids, a
