The 5. 0 Best Films Of 2. Feature . The assembled results have since been turned into this, a list of the very best 2.
All films released from January 1 to December 3. UK were eligible, and we’ve included (but not ranked) three movies that several of our number have seen, but not enough to vote on fairly. So read on and at the end, check how many you’ve seen yourself..
THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTYDirector: Ben Stiller. Free Downloads Cymbeline (2015) there. Cast: Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Sean Penn, Adam Scott, Patton Oswalt, Shirley Mac. Laine, Kathryn Hahn. Best for: daydream believers and, heck, homecoming queens too. It’s been five years since Ben Stiller directed Tropic Thunder, and the film that lured him back to the director’s chair is a sweet tale of a mild- mannered man who dreams of being much, much more.
Quietly fascinated by colleague Cheryl (Kristen Wiig, who’s in for quite a December between this and Anchorman), he finally gets the chance to live some of those daydreams when he sets off in search of a missing negative by a star photographer. Expect glorious dreams and perhaps, in the end, a glorious reality as well.
ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUESDirector: Adam Mc. Kay. Cast: Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate, David Koechner, Harrison Ford, James Marsden, Meagan Good. Best for: the Channel 4 News Team. Yes, we’re talking to you, Jon Snow. If you were asked to name some film characters who would cope well with change, the chances that you’d name anyone in the Channel 4 News Team are small indeed. And yet that’s exactly what Will Ferrell’s Ron Burgundy and his crew have to wrestle with as the arrival of cable news and the 2.
But Jon’s problem is easily solved by keeping his parentage from him until after Ice and Fire have fucked each other. In fact, I suspect Bran is keeping/will keep. Peter Abrahamson Peter Abrahamson is a builder of animatronic puppets and robots. His work includes movies such as Men in Black II, Hellboy and I Robot.
Cult Sci Fi Movies After The Ball (2015) The Ones
Early word suggests that the gag rate is just as relentless as the first film, so we can’t wait to see what Brick declares love for this time, or Brian Fantana’s latest pick- up technique. THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUGDirector: Peter Jackson. Cast: Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Orlando Bloom, Benedict Cumberbatch, Evangeline Lily, Luke Evans. Best for: hobbitses. The second part of Peter Jackson’s sprawling adaptation promises us a dude who turns into a bear, a bunch of elves who fight giant spiders in the forest, a town on a lake and, most importantly, a dragon under a mountain.
For Smaug alone, we’d be lining up to see it, but in fact what we’ve seen so far promises us much more in the way of intrigue and adventure. Gandalf will be off battling the Necromancer while the dwarves and their hobbit “burglar” fight their way through Mirkwood to that fateful confrontation with their big, scaly nemesis. Frankly, we can’t wait.
NOW YOU SEE MEDirector: Louis Leterrier. Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine. Best for: capes and robbers. Films about magic often flounder on the fact that cinema itself is magic and can cancel out the impact of their tricks.
But the spectacular illusions here and the clever addition of some hapless, helpless FBI and Interpol agents to try to fathom the tricks make for a gleeful caper. The plodding coppers can’t compare with the magicians’ prestidigitation – at first, at least – and Eisenberg, Fisher, Harrelson and Franco have a ball with their sleight of hand, particularly in an inspired chase scene that fully utilises the cops and magical robbers conceit. In an early summer that was full of tortured heroes and apocalyptic visions, this frothier romp was a deserved hit. PRISONERSDirector: Denis Villeneuve. Cast: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Terrence Howard, Maria Bello, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo. Best for: making us wonder how we’d cope.
As much an endurance test as a viewing experience, Villeneuve’s follow- up to the fiery Incendies throws the viewer into a parent’s hell – what if your child was abducted? Where would you stop? The moral dilemma is compelling, but this is carried by the committed performances of Jackman’s increasingly desperate father, Jake Gyllenhaal’s professionally furious cop and Paul Dano’s all- too- punchable suspect. The tone’s as wintry as the perpetually snowy weather of its setting, but this one will hang around in the back of your mind long after spring. THE CONJURINGDirector: James Wan. Cast: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingstone, Lili Taylor, Hayley Mc.
Farland, Joey King. Best for: things that went bump in the night – and often the day too. A monster box office hit, The Conjuring came from nowhere to scare $3. It rolled the true- life Amityville murders – for pity’s sake, don’t ever move somewhere that has . The rich period detail, creepy doll prelude and Lili Taylor going all Linda Blair were highlights, but James .
Unsurprisingly, there’s a sequel coming. The unlikely sounding The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist (what next? The Tottenham Hale Terrors?) is also based on a true story and will be with us in the next year or two. KILL YOUR DARLINGSDirector: John Krokidas.
Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Dane De. Haan, Jack Huston, Ben Foster, Michael C. The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared (2015) Movie Dvd Quality.
Hall. Best for: showing the Beat poets before they got the Beat going. The act of violence that drives this drama about the early lives of some of the most influential writers of the 2. Kerouac, Burroughs and Ginsberg – is revealed in the opening moments, but the film keeps its real surprises close to the chest. It's only gradually that it becomes clear that this is a lot messier and more complicated than the usual coming- of- age 'Becoming Allen Ginsberg' sort of story, even before we get into questions of murder. Newcomer director Krokidas shows a gift for subtlety and nuance here that marks him as one to watch, and Daniel Radcliffe shows once again that he's more than just The Boy Who Lived. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHINGDirector: Joss Whedon.
Cast: Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Clark Gregg. Best for: saying hey nonny nonny to The Avengers. Just after shooting The Avengers, Joss Whedon took two weeks out of the edit suite and made this monochrome take on Shakespeare's comedy of manipulated love. With a team of friends and regulars and a shoot in his back garden, he produced a breezy, easy- going version of the play with none of the self- consciousness that can plague some adaptations. For those under the impression that Shakespeare is only for snoots and stuffed shirts, this brings the Bard home to the pit audience he always kept engaged. ROBOT & FRANKDirector: Jake Schreier. Cast: Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon, Peter Sarsgaard, James Marsden, Best for: rekindling lost mojos with the help of a robot.
It's been a good year for older stars, with great roles for the likes of Bruce Dern and Judi Dench. Likely to be overlooked – wrongly – is this performance by Frank Langella, as a retired cat burglar stirred back to life by a robot carer who proves amenable to engaging in some light larceny to keep his elderly charge active. The film's too pacy, funny and science fiction tinged to get the awards praise it might otherwise deserve, but Langella's rarely been better and the whole is a beautifully judged look at ageing and last hurrahs. WORLD WAR ZDirector: Marc Forster. Cast: Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz, Peter Capaldi. Best for: making Brad Pitt- lemonade from troubled- shoot lemons. The advance word was poisonous.
The trailers betrayed virtually no connection to the source material (something the film bore out). Great effects and a constant sense of both tension and surprise served to keep knuckles gnawed and bums barely on seats throughout a relatively lean running time (proportionate to the scale of the story, at least).
While we'd like to see more of the book in the sequel, this one definitely gets chalked up as a success grabbed from the zombie- jaws of box- office disaster. NEBRASKADirector: Alexander Payne. Cast: Bruce Dern, Will Forte, June Squibb, Bob Odenkirk, Stacy Keach. Best for: road trips for the more mature traveller.
