And now with many states allowing people to leave their homes, it's time for the boys to get back together, and no better way to celebrate than watching a film featuring amazing bromances.
Here are my top ten bromance films, worst2first...
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#10
Toy Story
Sometimes the best bromances begin when you hate each other. Woody was the favorite toy of Andy's until he got the new Buzz Lightyear toy, and Woody began to feel abandoned and became jealous of Buzz, until the two embarked on a perilous adventure where they learned the value of friendship and became inseparable through three other movies.
#9
The Hangover
Sometimes the best bromances occur during times you don't remember. Four friends head to Las Vegas for a wild night before one is set to be married, and the next day their friend is missing, and it's up to the three others to retrace their steps to find him. Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha have natural chemistry together where you feel they've been best friends for years, and wish you were a part of the Wolf Pack.
#8
Shaun of the Dead
Sometimes you need your bromance to get you through the zombie apocalypse. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have been best friends in real life for years, and it shows in their epic "trilogy" of "Shaun of the Dead," "Hot Fuzz," and "The World's End," but it's "Shaun" that's the most delightful as the two bumbling friends try to save their friends and family from the zombie apocalypse as only they know how - by hiding out at their favorite pub.
#7
Superbad
Sometimes the best bromances require the most epic night ever. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera star as Seth and Evan, two high school best friends who are about to graduate and head their separate ways, but not before experiencing an epic night where they hope to lose their virginity and party like never before, of course resulting in hilarious antics. Their friendship makes you long for your high school best friend, and while some friendships change, some bromances last forever.
#6
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
Sometimes the best time with your bro is when you both got the munchies for tiny burgers. John Cho and Kal Penn play Harold and Kumar, two stoners who get the strong desire for White Castle burgers one night, and launch into an epic search for the elusive restaurant. Their journey leads them to self-discovery, personal conflicts, and Neil Patrick Harris like no one's ever seen him before, proving that nothing is stronger than a firm bromance.
#5
Bill & Ted's Excellent Journey
Sometimes you need your bromance to go on the most excellent adventure. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves star as Bill and Ted, two high school dimwits who are about to flunk out before getting the most awesome aid due to a time-traveling phone booth. As they bumble their way through history they always enjoy each other's company and have their backs, proving that some bromances can truly stand the test of time.
#4
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Sometimes you need your bromance to break you out of your shell and help you live life. Matthew Broderick stars as the titular Ferris, who plans an extensive day off school with his girlfriend and reluctant best friend Cameron (played by Alan Ruck) with an adventure to the big city. While it seems Ferris is incredibly self-involved, he's really looking out for Cameron and wants him to loosen up and love life and all its ups and downs.
#3
Dumb and Dumber
Sometimes its fun to act stupid with your bromance. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels star as Lloyd and Harry, two incredibly stupid people but best friends for life, who travel across the country to return a briefcase filled with money, not really knowing the real importance of it. The two enjoy each other's company, and provide wall-to-wall laughs and showcases the true importance of friendship.
#2
Wayne's World
Sometimes you and your bromance just want to rock out. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey star as Wayne and Garth, two rockers who have a successful small-town public access show where they show off their rock moves and general unintelligent knowledge. When a big-wig producer wants to make them big, they set their sights on Hollywood, guitars, and babes, resulting in a hilarious misadventure for the two friends.
#1
The Lord of the Rings
Sometimes you and your bromance must go on the most epic journey ever. Elijah Wood and Sean Astin star as Frodo and Sam, two Hobbits given an impossible task - return the ring of power to the middle of Mount Doom before the evil lord Sauron regains control and turns Middle Earth to darkness. Their perilous adventure leads them to the fire, and they would never had been able to make their quest alone - and showcases the true power of bromance with their shared sacrifices.
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
Witch Starring Russell Shaw, Ryan Spong, Sarah Alexandra Marks, Fabrizio Santino Directed by Craig Hinde & Marc Zammit Movies about witches are about a dime a dozen, and follow the same formula: typically set in a time period long ago (since now, fortunately, the stigma of witches has been lessened and the religious fervor has diminished), in a small Puritanical town, a girl is accused of witchcraft which spirals the town into a frenzy filled with suspicion, doubt, and murder until the witch is put to religious justice. While that's not necessarily a bad formula (Robert Eggers' "The VVitch" and Mario Bava's "Black Sunday" immediately come to mind), most films fall by the wayside. "Witch" is a small film that, at first glance, seems to follow the mold before completely shattering it in a second act twist that's daring, provocative, and works in a lot of levels, but could've been more pronounced if given a bigger budget. In the small
Special Review: "Midwest Sessions" Directed by Mario Ricciardi Independent filmmaking is a fascinating concept, wherein the director and everyone involved sets out to make something unique, different, and go against the traditional status quo of what's defined as a "blockbuster." These films aren't usually seen by the masses and won't be included in the top ten highest grossing movies of all time, but they offer something those films don't: a heart and commitment by the people involved to craft something wholly distinctive that tell a story in their own way. Such is "Midwest Sessions," a local film directed by Mario Ricciardi that centers on the city of Youngstown, Ohio, and the captivating people who live there. Told in different vignettes that seem distinct and different from one another but coming together as a whole in the end, it's an engrossing film that utilizes its shoestring budget and gives great performances, decent effects a
