11 The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box (2013) “Seventeen-year-old Mariah Mundi’s life is turned upside down when his parents vanish and his younger brother is kidnapped. Following a trail of clues to the darkly majestic Prince Regent Hotel, Mariah discovers a hidden realm of child-stealing monsters, deadly secrets and a long-lost artifact that grants limitless wealth - but also devastating supernatural power.” — I loved this family friendly action adventure story. It was just the fun movie I needed the other night. Apparently the movie is based on a book. I’ll have to check it out.

12 Burying the Ex (2014) “A guy’s regrets over moving in with his girlfriend are compounded when she dies and comes back as a zombie.” — Such a fun little twist on the zombie trope. This was a ton of fun. Definite must-watch movie.

13 St. Vincent (2014) “A young boy whose parents have just divorced finds an unlikely friend and mentor in the misanthropic, bawdy, hedonistic war veteran who lives next door.” — Been on my list for awhile now. Glad I finally got around to watching this one. Bill Murray is great at playing the asshole.

14 A Royal Night Out “On V.E. Day in 1945, as peace extends across Europe, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret are allowed out to join the celebrations. It is a night full of excitement, danger and the first flutters of romance.” — A silly little movie for overnight feedings. This was a fun movie. Plus the costumes are amazing!

15 Interstellar (2014) “A team of explorers travel through a wormhole in space in an attempt to ensure humanity’s survival.” — I enjoyed most of this movie. The look and sound are amazing. Very 2001-esque. I liked the premise of the movie. What I didn’t like was the conclusion that someone love transcended all the obstacles. A little hooey for my tastes.

16 Jason Bourne (2016) “The CIA’s most dangerous former operative is drawn out of hiding to uncover more explosive truths about his past.” — We felt like we had to finish the series, but I must say that I was disappointed in this movie. Acting was so-so, plot was predictable, and worst of all, the shaky cam continued.

17 Invaders from Mars (1953) “A young boy learns that space aliens are taking over the minds of earthlings.” — Part of our 100 best science fiction films. Properly cheesy scifi. J and I had a lot of laughs from the unintentional comedy. Definite must-see for scifi fans even if the film doesn’t have the same impact as in the 1950s.
