Good Movies for 2015

it just testifies of a lack of imagination if you have to dish out superpowers to your protagonists. Can't solve a problem? SUPERPOWERS. Boom, win. Done.

It's like typing the cheat-code "win" in Monkey Island. You just won and went straight to the final credits.

Thoroughly bored with superpowers, including those of such slick urbane psychopaths as James Bond.

well said bluppfisk, totally agree. can't remember the last decent, intelligent movie i've seen in the cinema here (maybe never have).

avengers, fast and furious, iron man 3, jupiter rising, etc etc - all just thin, silly plots which make no sense. completely rely on special effects and gimmicks to be successful. and sadly people fall for it. it's just special effects pornography (actually i'd have much more fun watching a real porno).

the last good film i recall seeing (downloaded on my laptop) - was 12 Years a Slave. powerful and moving story and script, very well acted and with a great soundtrack. an important film. moved me to tears. no chinese person i've spoken to has even heard of this movie. a great shame.

I agree. I find myself watching more and more from a few years back. Even tv programs are hard to watch.

Avoid Jurassic world, I went to see the film stupidly due to the hype and was well bored by the time it finished.

The film has a great couple of action scenes in it, but you can't make a 2 hour film with just a couple (was going to say a few minutes but thought exaggeration lol) of minutes of decent action and the same old story great!

Wait to download......

Last Knights - Morgan Freeman - 2015

Chappie + Gunman + Get Hard.

I just downloaded some of the original Get Smart TV series from the 1960s, brought back memories - my wife loved it.

I also introduced my wife to the entire list of Tarantino films. Fun to watch them all on a rainy day when you can not go out.
