Spectre (2015) **

Very disappointing James Bond movie. But the opening sequence, set in Mexico, is impressive. Daniel Craig's weakest 007 film.

Spy (2015) *

Trumbo (2015) *

Cinderella (2015) *

 
Boring and predictable adaptation of the famous fairy tale. The scene when the carriage turns back into a pumpkin is quite amusing, though.

Ricki And The Flash (2015) *

Meryl Streep plays an aging rock star who abandoned her three children. One of them is played by Mamie Gummer, Streep’s real-life daughter, and their ressemblance is striking. Unfortunately, nothing else is.

Paddington (2015) *

Silly movie about a silly bear.

Black Mass (2015) *

Lousy gangster film set in Boston.

Our Brand Is Crisis (2015) *

Totally misguided film about American political consultants involved in a presidential election in Bolivia.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (2015) *

A very disappointing conclusion of "The Hunger Games" saga. Quite boring, except for an effective finale (a homage of sorts to Fanny Kaplan).
