36 films you must see in 2015 – 2015 Movie Preview
July’s Must See: Terminator Genisys (July 1)
In an intriguing relaunch of the franchise – time travel once again proves to be the gift that keeps on giving – Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) is all set to go save the hapless Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) from an attack by the Terminators and prevent Judgment Day only to learn the timeline is much further along than he anticipates and everything he thought he knew has radically changed. Oh, and Arnold Schwarzenegger? He’s back.
Runner-up: Minions (July 10)
In this prequel before “Despicable Me,” minions Stuart, Kevin and Bob set out to find a new powerful leader to follow, but finding a good boss proves harder than they expect. Who cares if we don’t understand much of the dialogue? It’s a Minions Movie man!!! Time to see if the little guys can carry their own movie without Gru or if they work much better in small doses.
Sleeper pick: Ant-Man (July 17)
The one film in the Marvel Studios about the smallest hero in the Marvel universe has proven to be the biggest headache with delays and directorial changes (Peyton Reed steps in for departed Edgar Wright). Marvel Studios hopes that come this month the only thing audiences will be talking about is how awesome Ant-Man is and why he wasn’t introduced sooner. Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang, a con-man tapped by his mentor Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) to use a suit that will shrink him in size and hopefully save the world.
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.
