Why it’s great: The traditional musician biopic, with its rags-to-riches beginning and its fall-from-grace conclusion, is a genre that's always in need of a remix. Where to see it right now: Rent on Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, and YouTube ( watch the trailer) NetflixĬast: Chanté Adams, Mahershala Ali, Nia Long, Elvis Nolasco But everyone is really going for it here, attempting to squeeze every ounce of Muscle Milk from the bottle. A screenwriter helming a feature for the first time, Gudegast is not in the same league as Mann as a filmmaker and Butler, sporting unflattering tattoos and a barrel-like gut, is hardly Al Pacino. What makes Den of Thieves oddly fascinating is that it feels like a bootleg t-shirt you'd buy for a band outside the venue before a show, all garish and unconcerned with matters of good taste. The broad plot elements are similar: There's a team of highly-efficient criminals led by a former Marine (Schreiber) and they must contend with a obsessive, possibly unhinged cop (Butler) over the movie's lengthy 140 minute runtime. Why it’s great: If there's one thing you've probably heard about this often ridiculous bank robbery epic, it's that it steals shamelessly from Michael Mann's crime saga Heat. STXFilmsĬast: Gerard Butler, Pablo Schreiber, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson

The scale of new releases means a conventional top ten list can't really grapple with the full landscape and watching the Oscars only clues you into part of the larger narrative. (Plus, you know, Aquaman!) If you like movies, the sheer range of available titles and ways to watch them could be intoxicating - and maddening. For superhero fans, this was a year of excitement and despair. For Netflix loyalists, the last 12 months have seen the company attempt to squash out the competition with a scorched-earth approach to film distribution. For users of MoviePass, the controversial subscription service that for a brief period allowed its users to gorge on new releases with reckless abandon, 2018 was about excess and disappointment. My offer is this: nothing.The past year in movies was endlessly tumultuous. It is hard to find a CEO who hasn't secretly wished to lodge a counter offer like the one Michael Corleone gives in this scene: 'Senator? You can have my answer now, if you like.

But nobody has captured the steely isolation of the chief executive like The Godfather, Part II, a series that started soon after the oil crisis and wage-price freezes of the 70s. After the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, we got a slew of talkies like Arbitrage, Margin Call, and Too Big To Fail.

Wall Street opened just three months after Black Friday in 1987. So Hollywood often adds a strong criminal element to their boardroom dramas.
