As an adult, the instances where I find myself eating cereal are so few and far between that I can really only go for my absolute favorites when the opportunity presents itself. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Apple Jacks. Golden Grahams. Fruity Pebbles. Frosted Flakes. I'd NEVER take regular ass Corn Flakes as my #1 pick in the Breakfast Cereal Draft. They're perfectly fine.

Jordan and Brie Larson feel utterly wasted and the predictable plot lacks any energy or passion whatsoever. It's such a painf

#10. The Matrix (The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, The Matrix Resurrections) The Wachowski's turned the entire movie industry on its head with the release of the first Matrix film and brought a much needed level of intellect to the action genre after a decade of mindless Schwarzenegger and Stallone shoot 'em ups. But that's not to say that The Matrix isn't oozing with stylish action as well (including pioneering the whole "bullet-time" slow motion craze
