The bad-ass hitman returns in 2016. Keanu Reeves will once again be playing John Wick. When it was first released in 2014, people didn’t really expect much from it.

Despite how “corny” this movie may sometimes be, I still laugh and smile when I watch it. There’s just something about Kung Fu fighting panda bears!

15 years after the first Zoolander movie, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are back! Stiller had been wanting to create the sequel for quite some time, so we’re really glad he was finally able to put everything together. The movie takes places in Europe where Derek and Hansel face several challenges in their modelling career. The movie hits theaters in February 2016.

#2 Deadpool

I’m biased for any Ryan Reynolds film, but having him play a bad-ass superhero just makes everything so much better. Ryan Reynolds plays Wade Wilson, a former Special Forces operative turned mercenary after being subject to a rogue experiment. Deadpool is the 8th installment in the X-men film series and hits theaters in February 2016.
