    Break Out The Popcorn!!!


Everyone has their reason for loving the autumn season. For some, it is the beginning of the football season.  For others, it is the beginning of pumpkin spice season. When I think of autumn, I think of movie season! Over the past five years, there have been several autumn season movies that have not only became blockbusters, but also created a large amount of Oscar buzz. It is already clear that this fall season will not disappoint movie goers. Here are my Top Three most anticipated movies of Fall 2016:

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them-  This J.K. Rowling masterpiece has sure been the talk of the town for movie goers. It is expected to do extremely well, with stars Colin Farrell, Eddie Redmayne, and Jon Voight headlining the star cast, J.K. Rowling will have plenty to smile about come November. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens everywhere on November 18th.

Moana- Pixar is at it again! The once Steve Jobs experiment has taken the animation world by storm. From creating plots about toys coming to life, to fishes swimming around the massive blue ocean, Pixar has definitely demonstrated their versatility. Moana is led by the very talented Dwayne Johnson and will open everywhere on November 23rd.

Bleed For This-  This movie is the most underrated out of the three coming into the fall season. A-List actors Miles Teller and Aaron Eckhardt lead the way for this biopic about the famous Rhode Island boxer. Bleed for This follows the life of famous boxer Vinny Pazienza. This highly anticipated sports flick will open everywhere on November 23rd.

Grammar Point
The present perfect is a tense that of that word that indicates that an action has ended, but not at a given time. Throughout my post, I explained how I used the present perfect. One example is "Pixar has definitely demonstrated their versatility." The present perfect is an excellent tense to use when describing a certain person or groups success.

  1. Nice start to you blog! And now I am informed about some of the new movies coming out, though I am probablyonly going to see Moana.

    Good vocabulary word choices! Now remember to do an exercise for them and to add a grammar point with exercise. In your entry, you could talk about the present perfect tense -- has been, has demonstrated... or whatever you like.

  2. Great blog entry Michael! You definitely informed me of some movies that I had no idea were even out for the fall season. You made all three movies seem very intriguing in their own way. Thanks for the great movie recommendations!
