Movies Came Out In (2015)
Winner:
Spotlight – Great movie. Great acting. Really loved this film.
The Big Short – Great movie. Great acting. Could watch this one a few times.
Bridge of Spies – I liked it. Didn’t love it. Worth watching, but not the greatest enthralling story/plot.
Brooklyn – I liked it. Knew nothing about it, or even heard of it before this endeavor. It was a good story, not overly exciting or anything, but it kept my interest.
Mad Max: Fury Road – After everyone saying how much they loved it, I was excited. My excitement was soon exterminated, because I hated this movie. It took me several attempts to get through it because I thought it was just so stupid (and hard to understand the dialogue).
The Martian – I loved this movie. I will probably end up watching this 60+ times before I die. I get lost in the fact that it’s not a true story. It’s humorous, dramatic, entertaining, etc…
The Revenant – I liked it. Didn’t think it was as great as some others thought, but totally watchable. Could have been a little shorter and still gotten the story across.
Room – Knew nothing about this, when I started watching, but I was pleasantly surprised. A bit depressing, but some really good acting and tension.
Brian’s Winner:
The Martian. I know it’s never the type of movie that wins, but I don’t really have a problem with Spotlight winning. Pretty decent selection of nominees for this year.
