The Fall 2016 Movie Releases Off Your Radar
Stephen Follows

With the 2016 summer movie season coming to an end, let’s take a look at the upcoming movies for Fall 2016. The list is absent of the big budget movies many of you probably already know about. As much of a Star Wars, Marvel, or any franchise movie series fan as I am, all movies deserve love and I am here to let you know about the movies that may be off your radar. Here are just a few of the many upcoming movies. Hope you enjoy the list, and please feel free to comment or add any movies that you think I missed.


Kicks (September 9) [Limited Release]

One day he earns and buys a pair of new Jordan sneakers hoping that it would help him escape his own reality. However, instead of becoming a beacon, he becomes a target and his ultimately robbed of his hard earn shoes. Brandon makes it is mission to retrieve what he worked so hard for.


Transpecos (September 9) [Limited Release]

Directed by: Greg Kwedar

Music Composed by: Bryce Dessner & AAron Dessner

Starring: Johnny Simmons, Gabriel Luna, Clifton Collins Jr.

Three U.S. Border Patrol agents come across a car filled with illegal narcotics. You would think these agents would simply turn the car over and find jail time for the man who drove, but a dark and twisted truth is revealed when the agents realize there is an insidious scheme within their ranks.


Storks (September 23)


Directed by: Nicholas Stoller & Doug Sweetland

Music Composed by: Mychael Danna & Jeff Danna

Starring: Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Aniston, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Katie Crown

Storks used to be the sole deliverers of babies, but in the 21st century, they now are the sole means of delivering goods for Cornerstore.com. The company's top delivery stork, Junior, screws up by creating a baby in the long forgotten baby factory. Now he and Tulip, the only human in the stork run company, must race to deliver the baby in time before Hunter, the stork boss, finds out.

I added this movie to this list over Disney's anticipated "Moana" because the content of this story seemed more clever to me. As a child growing up, the story has been told to me a million times about how storks used to be the ones who delivered babies. To see that story evolve with the times to depict that even storks change with the times by delivering goods that people want more.


American Honey (September 30) [Limited Release]


Directed by: Andrea Arnold

Cinematography: Robbie Ryan

Starring: Sasha Lane, Shia LeBeouf, Riley Keough

A young girl finds herself travelling with a group of magazines sales people, but gets caught up in the lifestyles of the people she follows. She and the band of misfit sales people travel throughout the mid west to make money and have fun, but their lifestyle is what brings trouble in the first place.

I'm a sucker for these "coming of age" type of movies that show the disoriented youth striving to act in their own accord. This is a movie I am anticipating the most on this list, and I hope my anticipated is met to the high standards I am holding this movie right now.


The Birth of a Nation (October 7)


Directed by: Nate Parker

Music Composed by: Henry Jackman

Cinematography: Elliot Davis

Starring: Nate Parker, Armie Hammer, Aja Naomi King, Gabrielle Union

This is the compelling story of Nat Turner, one of our nation's first anti slavery leaders. This movies explores the view of slavery from the perspective of Nat Turner and how he came to be the leader that we all know and recognize.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
