Captain Phillips

Edge of Tomorrow

The Grand Budapest Hotel

The Fault in our Stars

Locke

The Invisible Woman

Spectre

The best:             Mad Max: Fury Road, a rollercoaster that never lets you stop for breathe. Intelligent, exciting and original.

The worst:          Gone Girl, utter boredom set in when watching an I really couldn't have cared any less for the central characters, who were both vile. 

The biggest film: Jurassic World, just held on to the top spot after stiff competition from Star Wars; this was a surprise smash and has unlocked another franchise.

Most anticipated: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, this had been building for about two years and under the helm of JJ Abrams, it became the most wanted film, going on to be one of the biggest and the quickest to reach $1 Billion worldwide.

Oscar Winner:   Birdman, I liked this, others I knew didn't; Michael Keaton gives a brilliant performance as a washed-up actor struggling with his superhero past. Very funny and very enjoyable.
