January:
Usually a bad month for movies, but this year, there are a few movies you should check out even in January. We have the final conclusion to the Taken series. An Ethan Hawk thriller called Predestination that is based on a short story that pretty much fried my brain for weeks, so it definitely seems like one to watch. Also Kevin Hart has a new comedy, The Wedding Ringer. He has been on a roll recently and this looks funny too. We FINALLY get a new Micheal Mann movie with Blackhat, starring Chris Hemsworth and Viola Davis. This is the must watch of the month. Also we get the new Johnny Depp comedy Mortdecai. So there's that if you aren't tired of him parodying himself yet.
February:
Another usually quiet month, but this is 2015, there are no quiet months for movies. We have Sponge-Bob for the kiddies, Jupiter Ascending for the SciFi, and Fifty Shades of Grey for the...actually I don't know who would watch that, but its here. We also have a dark horse with Kingsman: The Secret Service which is shaping up to be a surprise hit comedy.
March:
A new Neil Blomkamp film Chappie which looks to be a great SciFi movie. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel...with a title like that, what else do you need? Cinderella gets the live-action, Disney, fairy-tale treatment. Another yawn inducing Paranormal Activity. A Chris Hemsworth starring, Ron Howard directed tale of the story that inspired Moby Dick: In the Heart of the Sea. The YA Hunger Games wannabe Divergent sequel; Insurgent. Also the second Kevin Hart comedy of the year...and this time costarring with Will Ferrell...and it's called Get Hard...so it's basically a must see.
April:
Another year, another entry in the Fast and the Furious series. Yeah, I don't care, but a lot of other people do, so there's one coming out. Also another Nicholas Sparks movie...This time it's called The Longest Ride though! We also have another Paul Blart: Mall Cop movie. The most interesting movie this month is a little picture called Child 44 starring Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman. It's the mystery of child murders in the Stalin ruled Soviet Union. Should be good.
May:
It's the month everyone is waiting for: Its the Age of Ultron for everyone's favorite Avengers! And the villain is James Spader...so that's awesome. We also have a Tom Hardy starring Mad Max that looks amazing! There's also a Pitch Perfect sequel for the ladies, and Tomorrowland and San Andreas for anyone else... Basically this is when I change my address the the nearest theater.
June:
The third chapter of Insidious hits big screens a week before the long awaited Jurassic Park sequel. Which is a week before the new Pixar movie, Inside Out, hits. Which is also a week before Ted 2 comes out. Something for everyone this month.
July:
Another Terminator that tries to make things feel fresh. Magic Mike will try to make it rain at the box office again. Minions liberate themselves from their Despicable Me roots for a solo film. Ant-Man...yes, a movie called Ant-Man is actually coming out. But it's a Marvel movie so don't laugh yet. A Peter Pan origin story and Point Break remake will also be released before months end. Another film to watch is Pixels, looks to be a great comedy for all the nerds. Basically aliens use 1980's video game characters to invade earth, so who can save earth but the geeks who love 80's video games?
August:
A Fantastic Four reboot, Goosebumps adaptation, Sinister sequel, Hitman reboot, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel are ALL coming out in just this month... This is when I take out a loan in order to keep going to the theater...
September:
From here on out a lot of release dates could be changed but as the month stands now we will getting The Maze Runner and Hotel Transylvania sequels. In the original department we get a Civil War drama The Keeping Room and the tale of Whitey Bulger in Black Mass. Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, and Benedict Cumberbatch all star so mark your calendar now.
October:
In just the first week of October, Frankenstein, London Has Fallen, and The Walk are all scheduled for release. Later in the month we also get The Jungle Book and an Untitled Steven Spielberg directed/Tom Hanks starring Cold War thriller.
November:
What a month; The Hunger Games wraps things up. We get James Bond and Jason Voorhees sequels, the second Pixar movie of the year, The Good Dinosaur, and a Peanuts Movie. Also we get a Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott movies, both of which sound awesome.
December:
Mission Impossible 5? Alvin and the Chipmunks sequel? The only thing people are really caring about is the most anticipated movie of the year...no....the galaxy. Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
So that's 2015 in a very large nutshell. Now for my most anticipated movies. I will limit myself to five because you actually just read the movies I plan on seeing this year.
Honorable mention: Mad Max: Fury Road
5. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2
Mockingjay was my favorite book: Deal with it. If they follow that, it should be the perfect ending.
4. Black Mass
Modern-day mobster story, with THAT cast?? Duh.
3. Avengers: Age of Ultron
Six words: I've got no strings on me. Chills.
2. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
1. Jurassic World
Yes, let the riots begin. I'm more pumped for Jurassic World than Star Wars. Don't get me wrong, both have me hopping with anticipation, but Jurassic World is my first love. I loved Dinosaurs since I was little, then I found out about a movie with them in it? Jurassic Park was my first 'grown up' movie and for two hours I sat transfixed by the magic of Isla Nublar. I read the books, I had dozens of plastic Dino's that I recreated scenes with, my cousin and I even had our own "Dinosaur Newspaper" that we hand-wrote and taped together on notebook paper. Then I watched Star Wars and discovered a Galaxy far, far away, and yes, fell in love with that mythology. But not even sabers and Vaders can take the place Saurus and Raptors.
