My Top 10 Films of 2015
This list can only include films that premiered in theatres this year. Remember, if you don't see a film that you think should be on my list, just remember: there's a chance I MAY NOT HAVE SEEN IT YET.
Copy and paste the links to see my review for each pick (keep in mind that I did not write a full review for every film).
EDIT: Just saw 'The Revenant'. It was fantastic. If I had watched it last year, it would have ended up ahead of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and behind 'The Martian' (so #4).

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.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1398426/reviews-106
- 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.Ridley Scott's best directorial effort in a while. Not only do I love the subject matter of the story, but I also love the wit and humour that Goddard infused into it. Matt Damon is fantastic as astronaut Mark Watney, and has a believable chemistry with the rest of the ensemble cast.
- 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.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2488496/reviews-1499
- DirectorDuke JohnsonCharlie KaufmanStarsDavid ThewlisJennifer Jason LeighTom NoonanA man crippled by the mundanity of his life experiences something out of the ordinary.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2401878/reviews-1
- DirectorPete DocterRonnie Del CarmenStarsAmy PoehlerBill HaderLewis BlackAfter young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2096673/reviews-93
- 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 worshipper and a drifter named Max.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392190/reviews-386
- DirectorTom McCarthyStarsMark RuffaloMichael KeatonRachel McAdamsThe true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core.'Spotlight' is a tightly wrought drama filled with dedicated performances and deeply emotional moments. It does not glamorize anything - instead, writer/director Tom McCarthy has chosen to present every fact and finding in as straightforward a manner as possible. The film continuously holds your attention - and never lets go.
- 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.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2381249/reviews-86
- DirectorJay RoachStarsBryan CranstonDiane LaneHelen MirrenIn 1947, Dalton Trumbo was Hollywood's top screenwriter, until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs.A personal favourite of mine - and the main reason why it has a place on my list. Although the script plays it safe throughout the film, Cranston more than makes up for it with his brilliant performance of the title character. At times sweet, at times depressing, 'Trumbo' gives you an exciting look into the life of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. By the end of it, you'll be applauding.
