As the calender turns to July we have reached the halfway point of the movie year.

It’s been a year already full of some good, but plenty of bad as well. As we hit the halfway point, here is the best and worst 2016 has had to offer so far (in no particular order).

Best to date

Everybody Wants Some

Richard Linklater’s follow-up to “Boyhood” is essentially the companion piece to “Dazed and Confused,” a funny and very smart look at a college campus in the 1980s.

Midnight Special

An intriguing science fiction yarn from writer/director Jeff Nichols that didn’t get the attention it deserved when it was released theatrically, but is now available on DVD.

Sing Street

My favorite film of 2016 to date is a crowd pleasing tale of a young boy who forms a band to impress a girl. It’s another film that hopefully finds a larger audience when it arrives on DVD later this month.

Tickled 

One of the best films I saw at this year’s Nashville Film Festival, a quirky documentary that evolves into something much more sinister.

Zootopia/ The Jungle Book

“Finding Dory” may be raking in the cash at the box office, but Disney’s other two family films in the first half were actually better. “Zootopia” opened up this wonderful new animated world, while “Jungle Book” proved to be a fresh spin on a classic tale.

Worst to date

Dirty Grandpa

I’m still not sure how Zac Efron and Robert DeNiro both got roped into this raunchy comedy completely void of laughs.

Meet the Blacks

The run away leader in the clubhouse for worst movie of 2016 is a pathetic attempt to be both a social commentary and parody of “The Purge” films. It failed on both accounts.

Mother’s Day

The creators of “Valentine’s Day” and “New Year’s Eve” presents another manipulitive romantic comedy that managed to waste a fairly talented cast.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

In a year that has already seen a lot of bad sequels, this is the worst so far nearly making “Mother’s Day” seem watchable in comparison.

Warcraft

The big budget summer blockbuster was supposed to be a franchise tent pole, but instead was a jumbled mess that will likely be one of the biggest flops of the year.
