Baby Driver
Phenomenal. There is literally nothing about this movie that I didn’t love. I saw it three times in the space of four days and cannot wait to own it so I can watch it again whenever I want. If you have not seen it, you should do that right now. Run, don’t walk. And when…

Saga by Brian K. Vaughn & Fiona Staples
I had no idea what I was going to read for our graphic novel category, but before I even had time to fret about it, the lovely Rosie came to my rescue—she sent me the first volume of Saga through the mail. Snail mail no less! And I’m going to tell you right now, I’m glad she…

Central Intelligence
“Then I realized high school was nothing like Sixteen Candles, and I’ll never be like Molly Ringwald.” The Rock said that. Wearing a unicorn shirt, jorts, and a leather fanny pack. I’m a certified, card-carrying Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson fan, Kevin Hart is a child-sized party, and the tag line for this movie (Saving the world…

The Legend of Tarzan
“A CGI masterpiece.” —Tori Elliott Other, less sarcastic, thoughts: Margot Robbie was wonderful in her role as Jane, the Damsel in Distress who refuses to act like a Damsel in Distress. I’m not sure when Samuel L. Jackson became a comic relief actor, but I’m glad he was cast in this movie as such. The film’s…

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
This was nothing if not a Michael Bay film, and I unabashedly love Michael Bay films. I also love movies based on true stories, films about heroism, brotherhood, and war, and a lot of action, so this movie got two thumbs way way up from me. Not to mention John Krasinski’s talent and general appearance.

American Ultra
I’m a little concerned for my taste in movies. Or maybe my expectations were so low that this movie literally could not have been any worse than I thought it would be, therefore making it appear better than it actually is. I mean, it wasn’t amazing (obviously), but I didn’t hate it. In fact, it was…

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. In all seriousness, Legend is gritty, witty, and chock…
