36 films you must see in 2015 – 2015 Movie Preview
October’s Must See: The Walk (Oct. 2)
Despite its unimaginative title, this Robert Zemeckis directed/written film about high-wire artist Philippe Petit’s 1974 attempt to cross the Twin Towers is going to be a lot of fun thanks to its cool premise and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the star.
Runner-up: Crimson Peak (Oct. 16)
Proving she’s one of the versatile actresses in Hollywood, Jessica Chastain teams up with Director Guillermo del Toro in this horror film about a woman struggling to deal with a family tragedy caught in a love triangle with Charlie Hunnam and Tom Hiddleston and a house that appears to be sentient. Nobody does creepy eerie horror like del Toro and this looks to be ideally suited for Halloween season.
Sleeper pick: Cold War Spy thriller that may be titled “St. James Place” (Oct. 16)
This Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks drama/thriller doesn’t have an official title, but it’s Spielberg and Hanks so the title doesn’t really matter. In this outing, Hanks is a lawyer tasked by the CIA to rescue a pilot detained in the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War.
This could be the best year ever for big, anticipated movies. I really hope they live up to their hype.
Me too man. It seems like it’s poised to be a major one!
Jeff your list is pretty spot on my friend, 2015 could end up being one hell of a year with ‘Age Of Ultron’ and ‘The Force Awakens’ providing possibly the strongest 1-2 punch in films that we have ever seen in the same year. ’09 with “Avatar” & ‘Transformers 2’, ’12 with “The Avengers” & TDKR and ’13 with ‘Catching Fire’, “Iron Man 3” & “Frozen” are the only years to have at least two films that have grossed over 400 million domestic, in 2015 we should see that with AOU and Star Wars 7.
good work jeff. Hart going to prove you wrong lol. At first i am leery of the wedding ringer, but you know what if the wife wants to go I may brave. Im going to go see get hard. Now I do believe Anchorman 2 and think like a man too were failed projects, but its cool to see these two comic styles in a film. Since no one can ever remake or do a trading places maybe it will catch some of that or just bit for us folks who remember when great comedies were a staple, not an exception. Doesnt have at least 2 more movies this year? Is ride along 2 coming out this year? and I know he going to do something with the rock.
Of course im there with bells on for Avengers. Since I skipped katniss in 2014, I cant wait for the DVD in the spring or summer so I can get ready to close out this series. I still need to watch maze runner. nothing but good things. first quarter stuff. kingsmen is on my list. Also do you need to see taken 2 for taken 3? I just skipped it all way once i heard it was the same daughter who had to save him or some crap.. or should i rent it? Are you doing a list for dvds?
Get Hard should be good as long as they’re reeled in and not just letting Hart and Ferrell run amok. That’s where their films go sideways.
Those two are this year and looks like he’s already got two lined up for 2016 as well.
From the premise it doesn’t sound like you need to see Taken 2 first, but it was fun and quick so I’d recommend watching it all the same.
List for DVDs?
of good movies coming out on dvd in 2016 i guess. or whatever lol. I know one thing im going to be locked in next week for tv. Empire, flash, arrow. ( should be shield but I guess I will watch agent old timey shield agent).. and your favorite.. the fish moony show. that weapon ready for you.
Oh. I’ll be working on that throughout the year for us!
Geesh, I totally forgot Gotham started back up Monday. Not sure why I thought it was later this month.
