The Martian (2015) **

Robinson Crusoe on Mars.

The Lobster (2015) **

Weird film.

Racing Extinction (2015) **

Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015) **


The Peanuts Movie (2015) *

Quite boring.

Concussion (2015) **

Will Smith gives a memorable performance as an immigrant doctor investigating the death of Pittsburgh's football players.

Bridge Of Spies (2015) **

Fine Cold War spy drama about the exchange of Gary Powers for a KGB agent. Based on a true story, and therefore quite predictable.

The Hunting Ground (2015) **

Documentary about campus rapes.

Creed (2015) **

The “Rocky” saga continues.

The Duke Of Burgundy (2015) **

Well-directed film about a very peculiar lesbian relationship. A potentially memorable film ruined by self-censorship.

Furious 7 (2015) **

The action scenes are spectacular, but so unrealistic that they actually reduce the suspense, because we never feel that the protagonists are in any real danger.

Joy (2015) **


In The Heart Of The Sea (2015) **

True story that inspired "Moby Dick".

The Walk (2015) **

Not as good as "Man On Wire", a documentary about the same event.

Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015) **

A sequel to "Hotel Transylvania".

Minions (2015) **

A prequel to the "Despicable Me" movies. Amusing.
