THE TOP 10 MOST ANTICIPATED FILMS OF 2015

1- STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS: Yep, a new Star Wars films comes out in about a year. The first trailer already hit and while it's early of course it looks amazing. JJ Abrams has yet to make a great film but he's certainly capable of making a more entertaining one then any of the prequels. Plus...the old gang is back. One of the most anticipated films ever.

2- THE HATEFUL EIGHT: Quentin Tarantino's last film, Django Unchained, was mediocre. And certainly Tarantino will never make a film as good as Pulp Fiction again. But this one is intriguing; a dialogue-heavy Western about bounty hunters and a captured killer stuck at a trading post during a blizzard. The cast has Kurt Russel and Samuel L. Jackson among others.

3- SPECTRE: Sam Mendes is not a good Bond director (see Skyfall). But any new James Bond film is a welcome sight. This one stars Christoph Waltz and Batista as bad guys.

4- MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: Looks awesome. And George Miller always brings the crazy (see Babe: Pig in the City or any of the Mad Max films). Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron star.

5- CRIMSON PEAK: A Victorian horror film from Guillermo Del Toro. Yes.

6- UNTITLED CHRISTMAS EVE PROJECT: Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star in a film co-written by Evan Goldberg about a gang of old friends seeking the ultimate NYC Christmas house party. Should be entertaining and hilarious, right?

7- BLACKHAT: Michael Mann is back, finally, with a computer-hacker/action picture. I love most of his films (Collateral was weak). His pictures are always the best looking around and they're visceral and exciting and raw. It comes out in a few weeks. A good start to the new year.

8- JURASSIC WORLD: Well this is basically the first Jurassic Park if the park was up and running. Chris Pratt stars. Colin Trevorrow, who directed the awesome Safety Not Guaranteed, is at the helm. Should, at the very least, be a fun summer romp.

9- THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2: Well it'll have more action then part one. It all ends here. Hopefully it'll hit all the right notes. And that last line of the book is right up there with, "Well, I'm back," from The Return of the King for most perfect end notes.

10- THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON: The first Avengers was loud and dumb but entertaining. This one features a killer robot. It'll make a billion dollars but at least with Joss Whedon in charge it'll be better than those Transformers films.
