Ryan Coogler is now two for two, first with Fruitvale Station and now with Creed, the best Rocky sequel yet. Creed in many ways is like the original Rocky, it’s a drama about the characters and boxing happens to be apart of it. At it’s core, it’s a story about a young man who’s had nothing in life, no father, no home and it’s his battle with himself to make a name for himself. It’s a deeply moving and inspirational movie with excellent acting performances and some of the best boxing scenes I’ve ever seen put to film.

I didn't grow up on Peanuts, this is the first time I've been introduced to these characters and I was underwhelmed. It was a cute movie, the characters are fun, there were some good laughs and Snoopy was awesome. However, the movie itself isn't that memorable, it got extremely repetitive after the first half and it seemed to go on and on and on. Not a bad movie, just forgettable.

I'm not going to bother making a video review for ‪Paul Blart‬ Mall Cop 2. This movie is terrible. It suffers from the curse of comedy sequels which are being significantly worse than it's procedure. The acting is terrible, it has no flow to the story. It has cheap laughs (that admittedly made me laugh a few times) but for the most is unfunny to the bone.

Daniel Craig continues his Bond journey with SPECTRE, a mostly forgettable Bond movie with some fun action set pieces and a good supporting cast. However SPECTRE suffers from a story that isn't all that interesting, completely wasting the great Christoph Waltz and relying too heavily on the previous Bond formula that this series has tried avoided.

Where to even begin? It's ridiculous, convoluted and just plain stupid. The action is nearly impossible to follow, I actually got a headache trying to watch this movie, it's one of the worst edited movies I've ever seen. I'll in fact say this: It's one of the worst movies of the year and t's one of the worst action movies I've ever seen. Liam Neeson might be the only redeemable aspect of this movie but that isn't say much.

I say give Michael Fassbender the golden statue today because I can't see any actor (other than maybe DiCaprio) giving a better performance than him in Steve Jobs. The supporting cast are all great, Kate Winslet in particular and I loved the way Danny Boyle filmed the movie. The dialogue is sharp and quick, does it get a bit repetitive a couple of times? Yes. But it's a fascinating look at the genius that was Steve Jobs.

Much like his 2012 film, Lincoln, it's a slower paced movie with heavy dialogue scenes of negotiating and it was riveting. Tom Hanks gives another Oscar worthy performance with Mark Rylance stealing every scene he's in. Technically perfect, Steven Spielberg does it again, crafting one of the years best films.

Will Smith comes back from a recent career slump with Focus, showcasing why he is one of the biggest movie stars of all time. While he shares good chemistry with Margo Robbie, Focus is a mess. The characters aren't interesting, the story lacks and the second half of the film detaches what the first half established. Despite one great scene, Focus is just forgettable.

Don't be surprised if Matt Damon's name comes up during Oscar season since he gives maybe his most compelling performance to date in one of the years best films. The Martian is the perfect mix of Cast Away meets Apollo 13 and marks the comeback from the great Ridley Scott.

Black Mass is a solid film that show cases Johnny Depp's best acting performance in over a decade with Joel Edgerton even outshining him. Black Mass is a fascinating true story that isn't told to it's full potential unfortunately.

Johnny Depp continues his career downfall with Mortdecai, giving his worst and most pathetic performance of his career. How can an Actor with this much raw talent waste his time in such a terrible film? It wastes the talent of its cast, it wastes the audience time in a muddled mess that fails to be anything that it was going for.

Even though I feel as if Rogue Nation rehashes a couple plot points from the previous (and superior sequel), it still remains to be a fun, action packed summer blockbuster filled with some of the most memorizing action set pieces I'm recent memory. Tom Cruise once more proves himself that he is one (if not) the greatest action hero of all time. This movie in one word? Awesome.

We currently live in the golden age of comic book movies. With such movies like Nolan's Batman Trilogy or The Avengers, you would think they could pull this off. I was sorely wrong. This movie ****. I hated watching every single second of this movie, there is no redeeming aspect to this film. The characters are one dimensional, the actors don't seem to care, terrible script, awful special effects, the pacing is nonexistent and Fant4stic has one of the worst third acts I have ever seen in a movie in my entire life. This is the Batman & Robin of the 2010s.

‪Southpaw‬ doesn't try anything new to change the boxing genre. If you've seen any boxing movie ever than you'll most likely predict this movie from start to finish. However, this movie is so well directed and written it over comes the cliches. While not an easy film to watch, it's 100% worth your time, the boxing scenes are handled excellently and the characters are all realized. And of course Jake Gyllenhaal is (as Eminem's song states) phenomenal.

Ant-Man went through years and years of absolute development hell, Edgar Wright even left the project just weeks before the movie was suppose to start shooting, who would have guessed this movie would have been as amazing as it was. Yes, I frickin loved this movie! Easily the most fun I've had all year long, it's such a fun ride from start to finish. It has such a great sense of fun with some of the most memorable action scenes in recent Marvel films. The humor hits constantly and Paul Rudd proves he can pull **** comic book hero. Ant-Man is my second favorite MCU standalone film right behind The Winter Soldier, do not miss this one!

What a quirky film this is, I LOVED IT. Hands down one of the best films I have seen so far in the year 2015. Sweet. clever, gust bustingly hilarious, emotionally powerful, well acted with an excellent screenplay to top it off. Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon crafts one of the most unique looking movies of the year, this is his own style of film making that made it even more special. This is a movie made for movie fans and I loved every second of it from start to finish.

I've been **** talking this movie for the longest time now, ever since the first trailer dropped and I'm not going to lie, I actually somewhat enjoyed it! Is it a good movie? No. It's nothing more than a big dumb action movie. Arnold is at his best in years and JK Simmons does get a few good moments but the rest of the cast don't ever get a moment to shine and it overall comes off as a Terminator wannabe. But if the trailers hadn't spoiled every single plot point or action scene I would have enjoyed it more.

Black or White has good intentions for sure, Kevin Costner gives another winning performance in his recent come back. We do get good supporting work from Anthony Mackie and Mpho Koaho along with some compelling courtroom scenes. However the movie is too sentimental for it's own good, it's too long and gives the most anticlimactic ending to any movie I've seen so far this year. Finally don't even get me started on Octavia Spencer who gives the most over the top performance of her career, she was kind of awful.

Love & Mercy is the best movie of the year so far. This film has a magnificent cast including Elizabeth Banks gives the performance of her career, Paul Giamatti giving a usual compelling performance. But John Cusack and Paul Dano give Academy Award worthy performances playing the current and past Brian Wilson. Love & Mercy is a smart, heartbreaking look at the genius that was and is, Brian Wilson. Do not miss out on this one!

Disney Pixar shows us why they are the king of animation with Inside Out, a truly wonderful film and it easily the front runner for a Best Animation academy award and even a Best Picture! Inside Out is the best film Pixar has put out in the five years and what a comeback it is! This is visually dazzling, heartfelt film and filled with so many memorable characters. Inside Out is destined to be an instant classic. Kids will like this movie, adults will LOVE this movie! It is also one of the best films I've seen so far this year, its only competition being Mad Max Fury Road.

Brad Bird manages to once more create a wholly original film that not only is entertaining but ambitious as hell. Tomorrowland doesn't deliver what the trailers promised us, but it' fun, smart and filled with excellent action set pieces. Though it does begin to fall apart toward the third act with an overbearing message and a poor villain, it would be one of the better movies I've seen from 2015.

This movie is hard to describe. Defiantly not without its moments, the final five minutes being incredible, Jurassic World never manages to capture the magic of the original Jurassic Park. Chris Pratt is awesome but he's the only interesting character in the entire film. Jurassic World feels more of a "run away from dinosaurs" movie than a Jurassic Park film. Without a doubt an improvement over Jurassic Park III but I think I enjoyed The Lost World more than this one. This isn't a bad movie, it's just disappointing.

I think it's a vastly underrated film, Aloha is a very entertaining, sweet and breezy fun rom com. Does this movie have issues? Absolutelty is does! The editing is off and there's an event that takes place within the third act that felt forced but in a summer filled with big popcorn movies it's good to get a small treat brought to us by the great Cameron Crowe.

A premise like this with some impressive visuals and Dwayne The Rock Johnson in the lead role, you would think this movie might be oh what's the word? Fun?

I''m so disappointed in this movie...disappointed THAT I'M STILL NOT WATCHING THIS MOVIE! OH MY GOD MAD MAX IS INCREDIBLE! This is hands down the best movie of 2015 from what I've seen so far. Mad Max has a great cast with great performances from Hardy, Theron and Hoult. George Miller at 70 years old creates some of the most stunning and intense action scenes ever put to film! Mad Max Fury Road just might be one of the best action movies ever made!

The Avengers is the most fun I’ve had at the movies so far in 2015. The characters are great with each of them getting multiple moments to shine throughout from the strong script and dialogue. Black Widow and Hawkeye manage to get most development as characters and I can now say Hawkeye is a badass. The action is spectacular, thrilling and overall entertaining. Ultron was a good villain however him as a character was rushed. But this is still one of my favorite movies of the year so far.

True Story is a surprisingly unsettling, thought provoking film and it happens to be one of my favorite movies of the year so far. True Story moves at a slow pace but rarely drags, it’s very well written and shows off some great acting performances from Jonah Hill and a career best from James Franco. This is a great movie

I am very disappointed to say that Child 44 isn’t the movie I was expecting going into. Tom Hardy is absolutely fantastic leading the movie and Gary Oldman has a few great moments sprinkled in there. After a nearly flawless first act to the movie, the second act starts to turn the story nearly tedious and it is a thriller that lacks many thrills.

I really liked last years Bears, it was a really fun movie and a big surprise as well so I was fairly excited for Monkey Kingdom. This is in fact a fun movie but isn’t a perfect movie. Monkey Kingdom has some fun characters and has a few jaw dropping gorgeous shots of the area where they live. But unlike Bears, I had a few more issues with this one.

I will be the first to say that I am not a fan of the original 1950s classic. I appreciate it for what is it but I could never get into it and I will also say that this live action adaptation of the classic story improves upon many elements that the original lacked. The characters are given more development and the title character is given more screentime than the mice. This film looks absolutely beautifully, Cate Blanchett is absolutely great in this movie and stays true to the original source material. This is a really fun movie!

Though clearly drawing influences of The Hunger Games and even Harry Potter at times, Divergent is enough it's own thing and it's actually enjoyable. I had no expectations going in and I was pleasantly surprised. Though Shailene Woodley carries the movie for the most part.

Furious 7 delivers everything fans of the franchise desire. The same fun characters you’ve grown to love, beyond ridiculous action sequences and pays Paul Walker the farewell he deserves. While I didn’t enjoy it as much as 5 or 6, it’s still a very fun movie.

Don’t be surprised if Shailene Woodley and her stupid haircut doesn’t return for the next film due to back problems because she carries the entire movie on her shoulders giving the most real performance in the movie. Insurgent is filled with flat, emotionless characters, boring and pointless action scenes. Filled with numerous plot holes and inconsistencies and of course, slow motion.

A verily underrated film, A Walk Among the Tombstones has Liam Neeson at his finest as he actually gets to really act in the movie and he kills it as usual. A stylish, old fashioned neo-nior crime thriller that had me hooked nearly from start to finish. Though it drags a bit too long in the second act, I believe this is the best Liam Neeson movie since The Grey.

One of the most intense movies I've ever watched in my life. The psychological battle between a great Miles Teller and a mesmerizing J.K. Simmons had me on edge throughout the entire run time. Beautifully filmed and masterfully edited, Whiplash will hold your attention to the end and features one of my favorite movie endings of all time.

While lacking in some needed story and a few wooden performances (although Bryan Cranston kills it), Godzilla is one of my favorite movies of the year. Gareth Edwards pays great respect to the Godzilla legacy, keeping to the original design and even though the monster isn't given much screen time (but is masterfully build up) whenever Godzilla got on screen, it was some of the greatest movie scenes I've ever witnessed in a film.

In ways funnier than 21 Jump Street though I still liked 21 more just because of how much it surprised me. But 22 Jump Street is a consistently hilarious comedy, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are the best buddy cop combo in years.

While I'm slightly confused on the "Feel Good movie of the year" tagline, The Fault in Our Stars is an excellent romance movie and a movie in general. One of my favorites of the year and Shailene Woodley giving one of the best performances of the year.

I kind of loved this movie. No really, I did! This is one of the most enjoyable action thrillers I’ve seen all of last year and it featured Denzel Washington in his top form and showcasing that he is capable of playing these type of action roles, which he really should do more of.

Although it doesn't quite meet the heights of the epic conclusion it was going for, The Hobbit is an entertaining and often thrilling final chapter for the Hobbit trilogy. But after 90 minutes of non-stop fighting, it does get repetitive, much of the CG didn't look finished and doesn't really feel like a movie but a conclusion to the previous one.

A true cinematic achievement, being filmed over the course of 12 years. It gets points just for that but lets forget about the fact that it was filmed over 12 years. Boyhood does have some pretty good acting performances (especially Ethan Hawke giving a great performance) and does manage to capture what it means to grow up. However I can never see myself watching Boyhood ever again and it does come off as a gimmick movie to win an Oscar.

This years Transcendence, CHAPPiE is a hugely disappointed film and a major step down from the once great Neill Blomkamp. No character development, horrific acting, and an absolutely ridiculous third act makes CHAPPiE nearly cringeworthy.

Though predictable and cliched, McFarland USA is a heartfelt and inspiring sports drama with well fleshed out characters and helmed with a great, solid performance from Kevin Costner.

Imagine James Bond mixed with Kill Bill and you have Kingsman. I kind of loved this movie! Not only are the action scenes just incredibly fun and over the top, but it works as a parody of older spy movies. Finally we have Colin Firth who steals every scene he is in. If I can describe this movie in one word: Fun.

What a f*freaking piece of dog crap this movie was, oh my God. This movie officially kills what career the Wachowski’s had and wastes a great cast including Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean and Oscar nominee Eddie Redmayne. We are treated to a Star Wars prequel trilogy knock off featuring as interesting dialogue as The Phantom Menace did and the same poorly written romantic dialogue from Attack of the Clones, this movie ****.

Thankfully, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water is a really fun time. It captures the original spirit of the show and maybe in the could end up being a cult classic, especially for stoners. Smartly written and filled with multiple gut busting one liners, this is a movie that can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.

Birdman is a holy original and masterful piece of work from Alejandro G. Iñárritu. This features the best ensemble cast of 2014, some of the best editing I’ve ever seen and is one of the best movies of 2014.

American Sniper for the most part is a fine movie. Bradley Cooper is very good in the role of Chris Kyle and does have some nicely directed war sequences. But it suffers from rushed pacing, uninteresting characters and worst of all: Is very black and white about a flawed man.

A truly horrifying horror movies. It has good acting, interesting characters and a completely disturbing story told with great direction and grisly images. This movie got under my skin in many ways and is the best horror movie I've seen in a long time (have no seen babadook keep in mind).

I walked up excited and came out disappointed. While the performances from the actors and singing was good. Everything else just seemed out of place from the pacing, to the story and to the running time. This movie kept going and going and going and going and going until it finally ended.
