I've seen a lot of films this year (77 to be exact) and my top 10 looks like this:
1. Whiplash
2. Spy
3. Jurassic World
4. Kingsman: The Secret Service
5. The Theory of Everything
6. X+Y
7. Mad Max: Fury Road
8. It Follows
9. Still Alice
10. Ex Machina
Thanks to Odeon Screen Unseen I saw Whiplash in 2014, but it's a 2015 release in the UK. Phenomenal film. Spy is hilarious I haven't laughed so much in ages, funnier than 21/22 Jump Street and Ted I think. Mad Max I wasn't completely on board with first time but second time I saw it, I could see what everyone was talking about. One of the greatest action films ever made, I've seen it 3 times now. It Follows isn't actually scary yet I thought it was amazing, by far and away the best Horror of 2015 and one of my all time favourites. Still Alice was the first film I've ever cried at in the cinema . Heartbreaking, the Oscar for Julianne Moore was well deserved.
As for the stinkers of 2015, I think there should be a collective award for comedy. Hot Tub Time Machine 2, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, Mortdecai, Unfinished Business, The Wedding Ringer, Get Hard and Entourage are all mind bendingly terrible. Other stinkers include Taken 3, Seventh Son, Blackhat, A Little Chaos and Child 44.
Looking forward to the second half of the year: Mission Impossible, Bond, Hunger Games, The Walk, Maze Runner, Everest, In the Heart of the Sea, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and The Martian all look awesome.
