Tom Holland hasn't had a lot of memorable roles in film, except for one notable exception, but he's given some fine performances in films that don't contain superheroes. With "Spider-Man: Far From Home" being released this week, I take a look at my personal five favorite Tom Holland films.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**

How I Live Now
In this Saoirse Ronan-led drama about an American girl living with family in Europe during an incoming war, you'd be forgiven if you forgot Tom Holland also starred in this film as Ronan's character's cousin Isaac, who's a free-spirited, loving, and quite nerdy boy who's not equipped to handle the coming war.
#4
In the Heart of the Sea
In the true-life story that inspired the classic novel "Moby Dick," "In the Heart of the Sea" finds Tom Holland playing cabin boy Thomas Nickerson, whose older version (played by Brendan Gleeson) narrates the story of how the ship sank and the crew faced the monstrous whale. Directed by Ron Howard, the film featured Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth.
#3
The Impossible
Telling the true-life story of a family ripped apart when the tsunami hit Southeast Asia in 2004, Tom Holland stars as Lucas, the oldest son of a family visiting the area when the tsunami hit, separating them. The film shows how they managed to survive apart, and eventually - impossibly - find their way back to one another. It's a tear-jerker filled with tremendous performances by Holland, Naomi Watts, and Ewan McGregor, and showcases the true power of the human spirit.
#2
Avengers: Infinity War
In one-half of the biggest, most massive undertaking in cinematic history, Tom Holland plays Spider-Man once again as he travels with Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians of the Galaxy to Titan to take on Thanos before he finds all the Infinity Stones and wipes out half of the universe. Holland once again uses his humor and wit, along with action prowess to once again prove why he's the best Spider-Man - and then there's that highly emotional scene between Spider-Man and his father figure Iron Man.

Spider-Man: Homecoming
Being the third person to play the beloved web slinger on the big screen in less than twenty years is no easy feat, but Tom Holland proved why he's the best actor to play Peter Parker in "Spider-Man: Homecoming." Not only does he physically look like a teenager, he plays the role with youthful glee as he comes to terms with the power within him, and the responsibility that comes with it. Plus it was amazing how he and Tony Stark connected like a father and son that plays out throughout the MCU in future films.
Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder." When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go. I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen. Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President. Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a
Major Theatrical Releases May 2016 May is the start of summer, which means warmer weather, no school, more sunshine, and of course, MAJOR BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES! The beginning of summer opens with some extremely strong outings which will shape the remaining months to come, and if these movies are any indication, it's going to be a great summer at the movies! That being said, here is the list of films being released nationally for the month of May, 2016. MAY 6 Captain America: Civil War Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie Directed by Anthony Russo & Joe Russo Synopsis (imdb.com): Political interference in the Avengers' activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man. Thoughts: Forget "Batman v. Superman," THIS is the match-up we've all been dying to see! Based off the highly popular comic series, "Civil War" pits Earth's Mightiest Heroes against one anot
The Living Dead Starring Jessica Jane-Stanford, Paul Danan, Aurie 'Styla' Green, Hakan Hassan Directed by Fredi Nwaka What I appreciate the most about horror cinema is the fact that its the easiest genre for an up-and-coming director to direct, and provide a unique vision that's set apart from different genres - in horror, you can make anything if you set your mind to it. Horror can also blend different genres within itself, producing horror/drama, horror/action, and even horror/comedy, which is the route taken by first-time director Fredi Nwaka's "The Living Dead" (also known in the U.K. as "Are We Dead Yet?") - it's not just a horror film, but also blends action and comedy and produces a worthwhile whole. Madison (Jessica Jane-Stanford), Barry (Aurie 'Styla' Green), Gavin (Paul Danan), Alan (Hakan Hassan) and Parksey (Bradley Turner) are a group of robbers who, after their getaway car breaks down, find themselves in front of a towering
