- DirectorJ.J. AbramsStarsDaisy RidleyJohn BoyegaOscar IsaacAs a new threat to the galaxy rises, Rey, a desert scavenger, and Finn, an ex-stormtrooper, must join Han Solo and Chewbacca to search for the one hope of restoring peace.Thank the maker! JJ Abrams thank you for crafting the best Star Wars movie since "Empire Strikes Back" and this movie might end up being the biggest box office hit off all times. And with good reason. This movie is STAR WARS Done right.... Only flaw in this movie is that it's gotta end, and we have to wait 2 years to see what happens next. This isn't really a flaw. lol But my god this movie is so awesome.
- DirectorAlejandro G. IñárrituStarsLeonardo DiCaprioTom HardyWill PoulterA frontiersman on a fur trading expedition in the 1820s fights for survival after being mauled by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team.I was watching the hype surrounding this movie for months, and honestly while I wanted to see it I hadn't got around to it until after Leo won the Oscar. Let me start by saying this is his best movie ever. And it's not eve close. He's been great in a lot of movies but he's exceptional in this movie. the bear scene which was all that people were talking about was brutal, and the entire movie is really directed exceptionally well.
The entire supporting cast was also just amazing, and now it's a toss up between Tom Hardy, and Stallone for best supporting performance for me. Either one of those two should have won the Oscar. The actual Winner this past year "Mark Rylance" who was good in a good movie "Bridge of Spies" was not better than either "Hardy or Stallone" those two men really were amazing in their powerhouse performances this past year.
I can see after watching this masterpiece why Leo won, and why the director Alejandro G. Iñárritu walked home with his second consecutive best director trophy. He's quickly becoming one of the best directors working today. I didn't think he could top Birdman but my god does he ever here. Cannot wait to see what he's got in store for us next.
Can't say it enough folks... This movie was amazing! Simply a masterpiece. - DirectorRyan CooglerStarsMichael B. JordanSylvester StalloneTessa ThompsonThe former World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Balboa serves as a trainer and mentor to Adonis Johnson, the son of his late friend and former rival Apollo Creed.Stallone should be nominated for best supporting actor. Creed is a great spinoff to the Rocky franchise, and one which stars a member of the cast of one of the worst movies ever made in Fan4Stic. Michael B. Jordan was epic as Adonis Johnson Creed the son of Apollo Creed from the original Rocky movies. Great acting all around. Fine job directing also by Ryan Coogler who really did bring back the spirit of the original movie in this modern take. Here is a remake that's not a remake... I LOVED this movie!
- DirectorAlejandro MonteverdeStarsJakob SalvatiEmily WatsonDavid HenrieAn eight-year-old boy is willing to do whatever it takes to end World War II so he can bring his father home. The story reveals the indescribable love a father has for his little boy and the love a son has for his father.A Movie I wasn't expecting to like yet love! A Heart warming film about the love of a child for his father. A Must watch film.
- DirectorEli RothStarsKeanu ReevesLorenza IzzoAna de ArmasA devoted husband and father helps two stranded young women who knock on his door, but his kind gesture turns into a dangerous seduction and a deadly game of cat and mouse.This is a nightmare come to life for anyone married who's had this happen to them. But this movie shows how evil some people can be. The movie about a nice guy, and devoted family man who gets caught up by two very pretty girls who in turns out to be the embodiment of evil. Another great flick with Keanu in it... A Must watch thriller.
- DirectorAtom EgoyanStarsChristopher PlummerKim RobertsAmanda SmithWith the aid of a fellow Auschwitz survivor and a hand-written letter, an elderly man with dementia goes in search of the person he believes to be responsible for the death of his family in the death camp to kill him himself.WOW Wasn't expecting this movie to move me as much as it did.... Great acting, and a truly sad story, and one which deals with one of the most horrible times in our worlds history. I highly recommend this movie.
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansMark RuffaloWhen Tony Stark and Bruce Banner try to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping program called Ultron, things go horribly wrong and it's up to Earth's mightiest heroes to stop the villainous Ultron from enacting his terrible plan.A Fantastic sequel to The Avengers.. While not as good as the first this one still delivers in every way. The action, acting, and overall story is solid. Can't wait for 3, and 4.
- DirectorPeyton ReedStarsPaul RuddMichael DouglasCorey StollArmed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, pull off a plan that will save the world.The best solo origins super hero movie out of Marvel other then Captain America. Ant Man was spectacular, and delivered in every way. Can't wait for the sequel.
- DirectorF. Gary GrayStarsO'Shea Jackson Jr.Corey HawkinsJason MitchellThe rap group NWA emerges from the mean streets of Compton in Los Angeles, California, in the mid-1980s and revolutionizes Hip Hop culture with their music and tales about life in the hood.I lived thru the real thing, and watching it come to life in a bio pic it was special. Very well acted, directed, and written movie. One which didn't include very important things like the Dee Barnes beat down by Dre, and the importance Tupac played in Dre leaving Death Row. Also they left out Above the Law, and Daz & Karupt from the movie. these key people were important to the overall story. But what was made was excellent.
- DirectorChristopher McQuarrieStarsTom CruiseRebecca FergusonJeremy RennerEthan and his team take on their most impossible mission yet when they have to eradicate an international rogue organization as highly skilled as they are and committed to destroying the IMF.Another Mission that seems Impossible is solved in a 2 hour period by our Ethan Hunt. I gotta say these movies get better with each sequel. Once again this is Tom's best work.
- DirectorJean-Loup FelicioliAlain GagnolStarsEdouard BaerJean-Pierre MarielleAudrey TautouA super-powered boy helps a wheelchair-bound policeman in his attempt to bring down a mob kingpin.I Was literally shocked by how much I enjoyed this little animated film. In short Phantom Boy is SET in In New York, where a courageous detective named Alex is injured by a gangster who calls himself "the Man With the Broken Face." Which totally reminds me of say "Clay Face" from Batman! Which is why I loved this story. It had a "Batmanish" feel to it.
Anyway Alex who's stuck in a hospital, meets Leo, a bedridden 11-year-old who has the ability to leave his body and float around as an apparition. Like a ghost, invisible to all, he flies away and passes through walls. When the disfigured criminal threatens to attack the city's infrastructure, Leo springs into action to help the lawman foil his evil plan.
Great little movie using some traditional animation! Loved it! - DirectorIlya NaishullerStarsSharlto CopleyTim RothHaley BennettHenry is resurrected from death with no memory, and he must save his wife from a telekinetic warlord with a plan to bio-engineer soldiers.First person shooter games give me a headache but this movie being shot like that totally worked, and I never felt dizzy or got a headache from it.
I LOVED The movie... - DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsSamuel L. JacksonKurt RussellJennifer Jason LeighIn the dead of a Wyoming winter, a bounty hunter and his prisoner find shelter in a cabin currently inhabited by a collection of nefarious characters.QT should only make westerns! Django Unchained was excellent! While this movie is not on that level. The Hateful Eight is a good movie which has great acting, and fine directing.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsMatt DamonJessica ChastainKristen WiigAn astronaut becomes stranded on Mars after his team assume him dead, and must rely on his ingenuity to find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive and can survive until a potential rescue.Ok so Matt Damon needs to stop getting lost in places where the USA has to spend Millions sometimes Billions to rescue him. Seriously guy! But this movie was very good, and I'd say money well spent. It's not much different then his previous movie Interstellar. Well there is no trip to another dimension here or anything like that here. He's just trapped on Mars... Either way it's a good movie, and I recommend it.
- DirectorLee Toland KriegerStarsBlake LivelyMichiel HuismanHarrison FordA young woman, born at the turn of the 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After many solitary years, she meets a man who complicates the eternal life she has settled into.A movie about a woman who doesn't age... Sounds dumb? The film is actually pretty good. Great performances all around, and fantastic directing. The Cinematography was also top notch. The movie isn't perfect as it does drag a little during the second act. But the ending does deliver a satisfying ending. Highly recommend it... Makes a great date movie.
- DirectorIsaac FlorentineStarsScott AdkinsNick ChinlundCaitlin KeatsA rogue soldier turned outlaw is thrust into a fight with a dirty sheriff and the cartel he works for to protect his niece and sister.Scott Adkins is one badass mofo in this small budget indi film. He's making a case for himself with each movie as to why he should have been cast as BATMAN over Ben Afflack. He's just one badass martial artist, and his acting in this movie doesn't show the actual acting range he might have but he's more than serviceable as an actor. The movie is a pretty direct action film with most of it taking place in a house. Which I love these sorts of films. Very much a throw back to the 80's, and 90's action flicks. Before the scope of every action movie became extremely large.
He does a fantastic job showcasing his martial arts skills, and at no point am I thrown off by his acting as he was very good in all aspects. I liked this film a lot, and hope Scott Adkins gets bigger roles in the future as I truly think he's the real deal. - DirectorChristopher LandonStarsTye SheridanLogan MillerJoey MorganThree scouts, on the eve of their last camp-out, discover the true meaning of friendship when they attempt to save their town from a zombie outbreak.This movie was so much fun.. Great acting and some very gross yet hilarious moment's. Everyone does a nice job in this flick. The directing and cinematography are great also. Will own this on blu ray. Loved the cast.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsJoseph Gordon-LevittCharlotte Le BonBen KingsleyIn 1974, high-wire artist Philippe Petit recruits a team of people to help him realize his dream: to walk the immense void between the World Trade Center towers.Now as someone afraid of heights this movie wasn't easy to watch.. But I'm happy I did. Because Robin.. I mean Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Philippe Petit was great! He's a very talented actor, and his range as an actor is fully shown here.
- DirectorTom HooperStarsEddie RedmayneAlicia VikanderAmber HeardA fictitious love story loosely inspired by the lives of Danish artists Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener. Lili and Gerda's marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili's groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.Eddie Redmayne will probably win another Oscar for this movie, and it would be well deserved. He was amazing in this movie. A Film which really shows the range he has as an actor. Funny enough he also deserves a worst supporting actor nod for Jupiter Ascending. As good he was in Danish Girl he was equally awful in that. So maybe it's a directors he works with. Either way his performance in Danish girl was very strong.
- DirectorMotonobu HoriShinji ItadakiKazuchika KiseStarsMaaya SakamotoKen'ichirô MatsudaIkkyû JakuNewport-City 2029: Major, an advanced female cyborg, is in charge of the anti-terrorism etc. unit reporting directly to the government. Taking out terrorists and freeing hostages at an embassy doesn't go smoothly. Major investigates why.EPIC new movie for Ghost in the Shell fans.
- DirectorMatt HullumStarsBurnie BurnsGavin FreeMichael JonesFour losers are thrust into the position of saving the world when they stumble upon a UFO crash site and become genetically equipped to the battle suit on board.
- DirectorAlan TaylorStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerJason ClarkeEmilia ClarkeWhen John Connor, leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline.Better then T3, and T: Salvation. This movie erased the entire saga, and starts over in a way which actually is pretty well pulled off. I had some minor nit pick issues with details in the movie but overall this is a much better Terminator movie. Still flopped at the box office so I doubt we will see another one anytime soon.
- DirectorFrank CoraciStarsAdam SandlerTerry CrewsJorge GarciaAn outlaw who was raised by Native Americans discovers that he has five half-brothers. Together the men go on a mission to find their wayward, deadbeat dad.Clearly a spoof of The Hateful Eight! This movie is one heck of a funny film, and a shame it didn't get a theatrical release. Everyone was great, and hilarious movie. I totally laughed hard here. Nick Nolte was hilarious.
The whole cast was hilarious... Great comedy. One of Adams best. - DirectorColin TrevorrowStarsChris PrattBryce Dallas HowardTy SimpkinsA new theme park, built on the original site of Jurassic Park, creates a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex, which escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.Chris Pratt was excellent in a decent but not good or great story. The movie itself is greatly helped by him.. Had he not been in this I can't see anyone having the charm to sell the character he played. Overall it's not better then Jurassic Park I or II. But it's better then Jurassic Park III.
- DirectorUli EdelStarsNicolas CageSarah Wayne CalliesVeronica FerresA professor frantically searches for his son who was abducted during a Halloween carnival.
- DirectorTerry JonesStarsSimon PeggKate BeckinsaleSanjeev BhaskarA group of eccentric aliens confers a human being with the power to do absolutely anything, as an experiment.Absolutely loved "Absolutely Anything" another indi Simon Pegg GEM! I love his small features like these. He's an awesome actor, and comedic mind. This also features I believe the final movie with Robin Williams who passed shortly after wrapping up his voice over. The movie has a fantastic cast. Great acting, and really clever gags. I enjoyed it. One of the best comedies of 2015.
- DirectorLawrence RoeckStarsScott EastwoodWalton GogginsCamilla BelleA young civil war veteran is forced on a desperate journey to save his kidnapped wife.The movie's main actor Scott Eastwood gives a very good performance that really reminds me of one of his fathers older westerns. He's without a doubt a chip off the old Eastwood block.
This family is made for Western movies. A Very underrated movie in 2015. - DirectorBrad BirdStarsGeorge ClooneyBritt RobertsonHugh LaurieBound by a shared destiny, a teen bursting with scientific curiosity and a former boy-genius inventor embark on a mission to unearth the secrets of a place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory.A Fun ride which was badly marketed... Clooney did a nice job as well as the rest of the cast. Shame it bombed so bad. A Sequel will never happen. This could have been Disney's new Franchise like Pirates of the Caribbean.
- DirectorNeill BlomkampStarsSharlto CopleyDev PatelHugh JackmanIn the near future, crime is patrolled by a mechanized police force. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself.Didn't love it but it was an alright flick.. Chappie was entertaining.
- DirectorEtan CohenStarsWill FerrellKevin HartAlison BrieWhen millionaire James King is jailed for fraud and bound for San Quentin, he turns to Darnell Lewis to prep him to go behind bars.I liked this movie when it was called "BIG STAN" with Rob Schneider. While it's funny and entertaining I wish they had done a more original movie.
- DirectorGil KenanStarsSam RockwellRosemarie DeWittKennedi ClementsA family whose suburban home is haunted by evil forces must come together to rescue their youngest daughter after the apparitions take her captive.No more remakes of classic horror movies please... While this isn't as awful as the Nightmare on Elm Street remake! This movie was still pretty bad. Overall not a remake that was needed. The original still holds up very well.
- DirectorGeorge MillerStarsTom HardyCharlize TheronNicholas HoultIn a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a woman rebels against a tyrannical ruler in search for her homeland with the aid of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic worshiper and a drifter named Max.Lot's of hype, and fan gossip couldn't save this movie for me. I liked the originals ok but wasn't ever a MAJOR FAN! I like Tom Hardy as an actor but he looks lost in this movie, and the movie itself felt out of place.
- DirectorJohn Francis DaleyJonathan GoldsteinStarsEd HelmsChristina ApplegateSkyler GisondoRusty Griswold takes his own family on a road trip to "Walley World" in order to spice things up with his wife and reconnect with his sons.A movie that has a lot of funny moments which felt like a decent continuation until the 2nd act is half way in... The movie falls apart right there. The ending was terrible, and all around a very forgettable movie. Sadly because I was really looking forward to it.
- DirectorSeth MacFarlaneStarsMark WahlbergSeth MacFarlaneAmanda SeyfriedNewlywed couple Ted and Tami-Lynn want to have a baby, but in order to qualify to be a parent, Ted will have to prove he's a person in a court of law.Wasn't a major fan of the first but that was much better than this movie. Ted 2 shows us that not every hit movie should have a sequel...
- DirectorOren PeliStarsReid WarnerDarrin BraggBen RovnerThree young conspiracy theorists attempt to uncover the mysteries of Area 51, the government's secret location rumored to have hosted encounters with alien beings. What they find at this hidden facility exposes unimaginable secrets.Found Footage meets UFO's! Don't waste your time on this crap...
- DirectorSteve PinkStarsRob CorddryCraig RobinsonClark DukeWhen Lou's shot in the groin, Nick and Jacob drag him in the Hot Tub Time Machine to go back in time and save Lou. The three end up 10 years in the future, where they need to go to find the shooter.Poor sequel to a hilarious comedy classic. Has some funny moments, and some good laughs but overall a big let down.
- DirectorBrad PeytonStarsDwayne JohnsonCarla GuginoAlexandra DaddarioIn the aftermath of a massive earthquake in California, a rescue-chopper pilot makes a dangerous journey with his ex-wife across the state in order to rescue his daughter.A Predictable disaster movie with The Rock as the main hero... Nothing new to see here folks. We've seen all this before. Very unoriginal. One of Rocks worst movies.
- DirectorFrancesco CinquemaniStarsLeo HowardGale HaroldMichelle RyanA group of people are plunged into a dark, claustrophobic maze, where they must fight to survive, as the outside world watches.Danny Glover is getting too old for this *beep* kind of movie.. Sorry couldn't resist. This movie is a *beep* of bad acting, and stupid storytelling.
This movie shows that once greats like Alex Baldwin, and Danny Glover are past their prime. The movie feels like a cheap tv pilot for the SyFy Channel. - DirectorJosh TrankStarsMiles TellerKate MaraMichael B. JordanFour young outsiders teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe which alters their physical form in shocking ways. The four must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.IF Not for Jupiter Ascending this would be the worst movie of 2015.. A movie full of mistakes, and flaws. Trank should have never signed up to make this movie. Can this property go back to Marvel now please?
- DirectorPaul FeigStarsMelissa McCarthyRose ByrneJude LawA desk-bound CIA analyst volunteers to go undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer and prevent diabolical global disaster.I hate everything about this movie.... Enough said.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsChanning TatumMila KunisEddie RedmayneA young woman discovers her destiny as an heiress of intergalactic nobility and must fight to protect the inhabitants of Earth from an ancient and destructive industry.The Worst movie of the year so far in my opinion the Wachowski Siblings have lost their edge as directors.
