Creed
Up until the last 15 minutes, this was the okayest movie of 2015. And then BAM. I’m yelling at the tv.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E
I may not have been fully aware of what was happening 37% of the time, but I am 100% certain that Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer made it more than worth my while.

The Martian
If there’s one thing the Martian taught me, it’s that I would die right away if my crew left me for dead on a deserted, uncompromising planet. So let’s make a pact right here, right now not to do that, m’kay? Favourite line: “I’m going to have to science the shit out of this.” Biggest…

Legend
In the immortal words of Barney Stinson, it was “Legend … wait for it (and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant, because the second half of that word is dairy)… legendary!” Tom Hardy pulls off a dual role not seen since Lindsay Lohan’s masterful 1998 remake of The Parent Trap.

Beasts of the Southern Wild
This entire film rests on the shoulders of a very young girl and, let me tell you, she carries the weight of it like The Mountain carried the 1,400 pound log that broke a 1,000 year old Viking Strongman record. Quvenzhané Wallis has monstrous talent, and I think the uniqueness of this movie did everything to showcase…
