Happy New Year! Tanti auguri for youu my readers--who I don't actually believe exist (please say hi if you are tho). New Year's annual post is here! You know the drill: bold titles mean must watches and unmarked means negotiable. This year is what I called back on January 2014 as the mega monster movie year and this is the main course, you know the over-priced lamb chop grill served with fresh salad. 2014 was child's play, it was the corn soup you could easily buy at the super market. As this analogy is getting confusing and incomprehensible, let's just start the list. Like it has been for six years now (man, I have no life), award-season films won't be on this because usually their dates are set only months before release. In 2014, the only award-season film I had was Unbroken. Yeah, not even Boyhood. In fact, I did not know Selma existed until early December 2014. On with the show!

Holy shit. There actually films I forgot existed in production. Like Spielberg's St. James Place or Inarritu's The Revenant. The summer's not as wild as I expected but there's a lot of great films all year round. Look at that strangely crowded September and the holiday season is even crazier than summer! Summer has got many comedies too! Jason Statham and Melissa McCarthy in one movie together! It's gonna be a crazy year. And I hope it's the year when Johnny Depp makes a redemption (maybe not with Mortdecai, but with Black Mass) But there are also unnecessary remakes of Point Break and Poltergeist. Anyways, time to list my top 10++ anticipated films!
10. Jurassic World - it was on top three but I'd still give it a go.9. Mad Max: Fury Road - my world is FIRE
8. Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur - Pixar's double trouble
7. St. James Place - Spielberg's back!
6. The Martian and Crimson Peak - Chastain with two amazing directors and actors
5. Mission: Impossible 5 - Tom Cruise fan
4. Spectre - Bond fan
3. Tomorrowland - Brad Bird is our new JJ Abrams
2. Avengers: Age of Ultron - it actually looks waay better than the last one
1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens - because it will be number one
HNY! i'm here haha
