Film over the last several years have been pretty good but 2014 was especially good in the sense of how consistent it was throughout the entire year. We got The Lego Movie in February, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Under the Skin in the spring, the summer was filled with some amazing blockbusters like Guardians of the Galaxy and the fall gave us films like Whiplash and Birdman. Of course, there was a lot more than that, but overall it was nice to see how great it was all year.

At least it was for us. I say all that to say, 2015 looks to be the same, if not better. If Disney doesn’t break the box office records for a studio this year, I’d be shocked. With 11 films coming out and it includes the likes of Star Wars, Avengers 2, a Pixar film among everything else they have, it could get crazy. There are also some small indies to look out for as well. This year looks bonkers. That being said, let’s swim through all the chaos and find which films are the one’s to look out for in 2015.

Alright (after the jump), let’s get into it and go over JD’s Top 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2015.

Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2015

10) In the Heart of the Sea
In the Heart of the Sea is Ron Howard’s latest adventure and it looks pretty amazing based off the first trailer and the poster for the film. Howard really surprised me in 2013 with Rush, in fact it made my #8 in my Top 10 for that year. Because of that, and this marketing so far, I’m pretty hyped for this film. Chris Hemsworth looks great as does the rest of the cast. The film looks scary, intense and like it’s going to be wet and wild ride. This film will, obviously, be heavily compared to Moby Dick but I encourage readers to go in open minded. No film ever “lives up to the book”. Let it be it’s own thing and hopefully Howard doesn’t disappoint. On top of that, the studio recently pushed back this film to December, meaning they must have some big confidence behind it as an Awards contender. Yeah, I’m down.

9) Crimson Peak
Crimson Peak probably won’t make many Top 10 Most Anticipated lists but man, I do love me some Guillermo del Toro. Everything from The Devil’s Backbone, to Pan’s Labyrinth, to Pacific Rim, del Toro hasn’t let me down. In fact, we even did a Guillermo del Toro Movie Series that I’d highly recommend checking out. Anyway, Crimson Peak sounds awesome and the cast looks pretty great as well. This stars Charlie Hunnam, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and Mia Wasikowska. As much as I loved Pacific Rim, it’s always awesome to see del Toro back at his roots. Yep, consider me on board.

8) Inside Out
2014 was one of the best year’s for animated film I’ve ever seen, all without a Pixar movie in the mix. Well, now Pixar is back and it looks to come back strong. Inside Out looks original, fun and could perhaps be one of the best movies in 2015. And let me say this, who ever cast Lewis Black as the character, Anger, is a genius. A damn genius. The rest of the cast looks great too, including Diane Lane, Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, and Bill Hader among others as well. The trailer is hysterical and looks like so much fun. It’s not everyday we get a literal picture of all the kinds of feelings and thoughts we experience everyday. To see each emotion personified is interesting and I can’t wait to see this.

7) That’s What I’m Talking About
Last year, Boyhood made this exact same list and while it didn’t quite make my Top 10 of 2014, it was very close at my #11 spot. Still an incredible, amazing film. Richard Linklater just has the right formula to create such incredible, grounded films that deliver realistic and engaging conversation. So, how can you not be excited for That’s What I’m Talking About? Linklater has even said it’s a spiritual sequel to Boyhood and Dazed and Confused, which excites me even further. That’s What I’m Talking About picks up right where Boyhood left off (with different characters) with a college freshman moving into his dorm room. Well, that’s all I really need to hear.

6) The Hateful Eight
I know Quentin Tarantino was bitter about this project for awhile. But I’m glad to see him drop his ego for a minute because on paper this sounds really fascinating. Post Civil-War? Eight Bounty Hunters? Trapped in a blizzard and have to survive? Yeah I’m down. You mix that with Tarantino dialogue and this has automatic Top 10 all over it. We don’t know much about this other than a little synopisis, but it sounds great and the cast is great. Channing Tatum, Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Bruce Dern and Jennifer Jason Leigh among others sounds awesome. I can almost picture it in my mind, which is probably dangerous. Not everyone loved Django, so hopefully this will unite everyone on the Tarantino bandwagon (see what I did there).

5) Joy
David O. Russell has been one of the most notable directors since 2010. The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle have been three great films, two of which starred Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. If it ain’t broke, why fix it? Not everyone loved Hustle, but I quite enjoyed it, especially Lawrence. I honestly don’t know much about this story, speaking of Joy, but the fact that Lawrence, Cooper and Russell are reuniting, as well as Robert De Niro from Silver Linings, it’s enough to get me excited.

4) The Revenant
Well if you listened to our InSession Film Awards show on Episode 99, you’ll know that we all loved Birdman. Alejandro González Iñárritu crafted something utterly brilliant with Birdman, which is more than enough to make me excited for The Revenant. Oh but there’s more. This film also reunites Tom Hardy and Leonardo DiCaprio, which are two of my favorite actors working right now. The story is a revenge thriller set in the 1820’s that sounds really intriguing. Iñárritu is also teaming up once again with Emanuel Lubezki so you can imagine this film will have something to offer with it’s camera work once again. This just sounds amazing all around.

3) Tomorrowland
Brad Bird isn’t a household name to man, but he should be. This is the guy who directed The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Ratatouille, three of the best animated films we’ve seen over the last 15 years or so. Not only that, but he directed Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, arguably the best film in that franchise as well. All that to say, whenever Bird does a film, it’s worth paying attention to and Tomorrowland is no different. The trailers for this film have been really fascinating too and the world Bird has created feels so surreal and magical, in all the best ways possible. I don’t know much about Britt Robertson, but I look forward to getting to know her in this film. Oh, and Clooney is never a bad choice either. I’m really excited for this one.

2) Star Wars: The Force Awakens
At this point, #2 and #1 will probably be interchangeable, depending on which franchise is more up your alley. While I like Star Wars quite a bit, I’m not a crazy fanatic like a lot of others are. That being said, even the average fan of this franchise has to be excited for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s been a decade since the prequel trilogy ravaged through the hearts of the fans and they’ve been clamoring for a good Star Wars film ever since. Well, with J.J. Abrams at the helm, we may actually get that now. The trailer was absolutely incredible and the practical effects just jumped off the screen. Amazing how much more visceral it is knowing it’s not all CGI all the time. And that cast. Oh, that wonderful cast. The original members of Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher with new franchise members Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac (my boy!), Domhall Gleeson, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyongo’o, and John Boyega (watch out for him!), among many others, including the cast of The Raid 2! Are you kidding me? Let it be December already!

1) The Avengers: Age of Ultron
As much as I love the Star Wars franchise, I grew up more with Marvel. And Marvel has rarely steered me wrong while building their Cinematic Universe. The Avengers was my #2 film of 2012 and is probably my favorite comic book movie of all-time. It’s the “cool” thing to hate on this movie now, but that film was cinematic gold. It was the perfect climax to a build that was fun and entertaining all the way throughout Phase 1. To see all these characters come together, was something I never dreamed I’d see in movie theaters at this level when I was younger. Now, as we’re almost done with Phase 2, the story has taken a darker turn and with some new elements introduced, Age of Ultron looks more intense and brooding. The trailers have been eeire and James Spader was PERFECT as the voice of Ultron. This is easily the most anticipated film of the year for me, and I fully expect to geek out for two hours once early May gets here.

As for honorable mentions, there are about a billion others that I could list here. Several came very close to making my Top 10 list. For those that listened to Episode 92, you’ll know I loved Mockingjay Part 1 and that it’s my favorite of the Hunger Games franchise so far. To say the least, yeah I’m excited for Mockingjay Part 2. For the James Bond fans out there, yes I know I left of Spectre. But don’t worry, I’m excited for that too. Other big films coming out in 2015 that’s worth mentioning are Mad Max: Fury Road, another Tom Hardy vehicle (see what I did there), Jurassic World, Ant-Man and Mission Impossible 5. And let’s not forget Fast and Furious 7. I’m really intrigued to see how they handle Paul Walker, and hopefully we send him out on a high note.

I don’t care if it’s been done before or how cheesy it looks, I’m excited for Chappie. Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter and Ex Machina are a few others coming out this spring to look out for. Julianne Moore’s Maps to the Stars also gets a spring release and we’ve heard good early things for that as well. In late February, look for ’71, the latest film starring Jack O’Connel, who had some break out roles in 2014 with Unbroken and Starred Up. But perhaps the film that’s the most exciting coming out this spring is Kingsman: The Secret Service, the latest from Matthew Vaughn, who doesn’t make a bad film. In fact, early reports indicate this may be his best film yet.

Just a few more worth noting is Dennis Villeneuve’s (Enemy, Prisoners) latest, Sicario. There’s also Southpaw with Jake Gyllenhaal, MacBeth, Sea of Trees, Martin Scorsese’s Silence, Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups, Jeremy Saulnier’s second film, Green Room and Last Days in the Desert with Ewan McGregor. Tom Hardy in Child 44 sounds interesting as well as Everest, Untitled Spielbert/Hanks Cold War Film and Z for Zachariah. Alongside Inside Out, other animated films that should be fun and will make a lot of money are Peanuts and Minions. Foreign language films, La Blessure and A War are worth nothing too.

And the last (I promise) I’ll mention real quick is Pitch Perfect 2, Pan and Magic Mike XXL. Don’t judge me!

We’ll discuss this on Episode 101 of the InSession Film Podcast, but what are some films you’re looking forward to in 2015? Which one’s did I miss?

Well, it’s that time of year again. We finally got a chance to record this year’s InSession Film Awards show on Episode 99, as well as discuss our Top 10 Movies of 2014. It was a really fun show and because we went a little long, we had to split it into two parts. Both very much worth checking out. And just like last year, there was a ton of great films to choose from, so coming up with just 10 was impossible. So once again, I have my Top 20 listed here.

And for the record, the separation between #20 and #11 is like centimeters. That being said (after the jump), let’s get into it and go over JD’s Top 10 Movies of 2014.

JD Duran’s Top 10 Movies of 2014:

10) Under the Skin
Under the Skin would have never of made my list after the first time I saw it. It’s really ambiguous and a bit pretentious, but it’s absolutely beautiful all at the same time. It’s a haunting reminder of what it’s like to be a foreigner in a strange land. On the surface, it’s a story of what it means to be human, but more than that, it’s trying to get to the heart of it all. What makes us tick? What’s under the skin, if you will. As an alien, Scarlett Johansson is amazing, trying to figure out humanity and bringing an emotional presence to the film’s third act that’s some of the best filmmaking of all 2014. It’s chilling and harrowing throughout and just gorgeously told. Click here to hear our full review.

9) Ida
Ida is one of the most beautiful looking and beautifully told films of the year. It’s gorgeous black and white cinematography amazingly parallels the films themes and it’s main characters, Anna and Wanda, elevated by two wonderful female performances. The journey these characters go on is devastating at times, but we see them come together through it and come into their own. Anna is more of a blank slate where Wanda is on her way to creating a new one. If you haven’t seen this, it couldn’t come more recommended. Click here to hear our full review.

8) The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Grand Budapest Hotel has all the best Wes Anderson-y elements that you’d expect and want from him. The set design, color pallet, and camera work is incredible, zany and creates a world that you absolutely want to visit. Ralph Fiennes, who doesn’t have a ton of roles like this, has some amazing comedic timing and delivers some phenomenal, delicious dialogue. The supporting cast, including first timer Tony Revelori, is also great and very funny. You got to love the dark turns this film takes, which is a nice touch for Anderson. Click here to hear our full review.

7) Inherent Vice
Inherent Vice is certainly not for everyone but this is easily one of the best experiences I had in a theater all year. Grinning from ear to ear through 90 percent of this, I laughed a ton. Joaquin Phoenix is amazing and it’s his subtleness and facial expressions that make this performance shine. He says just as much without any dialogue as he does when he talks. This film has received a lot of criticism for it’s confusing plot, but you gotta realize, this film isn’t about the plot. On the surface, it’s supposed to be confusing and parallels the drug-induced trip we see our characters on. But more than that, like many Paul Thomas Anderson films, it’s about the search for something. The search for love and broken people masking it. Look for our review of this coming soon.

6) How to Train Your Dragon 2
How to Train Your Dragon 2 is the arguably the best animated sequel of all-time. Yep, I said it. This film is incredibly emotional and only adds to the awesomeness of the first film. What this film says about family is layered and goes to places that most American animated films don’t go to. It forces Hiccup to mature and grow up faster than ever and engaged me in a way that floored me. The visuals are impeccable and bring this world to life so well. The arial shots aren’t just beautiful but the harmony created between Hiccup and Toothless is so visceral. And don’t get me started on John Powell’s score. Wow. I love this world and can’t wait to go back. Click here to hear our full review.

5) Calvary
Calvary is one of the more emotional films to come out in 2014 and Brendan Gleeson gives a performance that should be talked about more as far as best of the year. This film hooks you right away with this intriguing mystery and while it’s there throughout, it’s not really about that. It’s really more about what Father James represents and this journey of faith and doubt. How Calvary deals with it’s themes of religion and forgiveness among flawed people is just stellar. It’s absolutely compelling and resonated really loud with me. Click here to hear our full review.

4) Fury
Fury is one of those movies that isn’t making a lot of Top 10 lists, which is fine, but nothing moved me more emotionally at the theater than this one did. I was floored by it. Sure, there’s some “war is hell” cliches here but it’s certainly a lot more than that. This is a film about redemption through duty and camaraderie, and the cast sells that on an incredible level. This is the best ensemble cast for my money and they just chew up the screen together. Everyone from Brad Pitt to Shia Labeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena and Jon Bernthal are just magnetic and captivating. It’s brutal, it’s intense and it’s human. Click here to hear our full review.

3) Birdman
Birdman is absolutely brilliant. If it doesn’t win for Best Cinematography at The Oscars, it only proves how political The Academy is and how meaningless the award is. Birdman isn’t just defined by it’s stellar camera work though, but it’s grounded in it’s amazing performances and layered themes of art vs Hollywood entertainment, which is really compelling. And even a step further, at the core of this film, it’s about a man show struggles with insecurity and a haunting past that eats off of his insecurity. It’s such a complex, amazing film that just propels off the screen and really feels like a stage play on it’s own. Amazing. Click here to hear our full review.

2) Whiplash
Whiplash is certainly one of those films that everyone will remember when it comes to 2014. It’s arguably the best made film from an art perspective, and it thrives off of some of the best performances of the year. J.K. Simmons is a monster in all the great ways and just eats up the screen with robust dialogue that’s very rememberable. Miles Teller is also stellar in the film, it’s not just the Simmons show. But what this film talks about when it comes to ambition and what we’ll do to get there, is not one you’ll soon forget. Click here to hear our full review.

1) Locke
Locke is an incredible film. It may not be one that reaches many other Top 10 lists but this is the one that stands above the rest for me. Tom Hardy is magnificent and as the only actor in the film, he has to carry it in such a way that’s believable and dramatically compelling. And he effing nails it. The direction is sharp, it’s great to look at and the score adds a nice touch to the film as well. But more than all of that, this is the most important film I saw all year. It’s about an average guy, who loves his family and is dedicated to his work. And he made a mistake, as we all do. However, he owns his mistake to a high degree that has huge costs to it. It’s not something we see everyday and it’s an idea that has a lot of weight behind it if you ask me, which is why it makes my #1. Important and dramatically compelling. Click here to hear our full review.

To round out the rest of my Top 20, here is the rest of my list:
11) Boyhood
12) Selma
13) Nightcrawler
14) Gone Girl
15) The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
16) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
17) A Most Violent Year
18) Force Majeure
19) Captain America: The Winter Soldier
20) The Lego Movie

InSession Film Podcast – Episode 99 (Part 2)

You have to love this time of year. Getting to reflect on 2014 and coming up with our best’s of the year is always a lot of fun. This was my first time doing the InSession Film Awards, and man, we had some great conversation. Along with handing out some fun awards, we also discussed our Top 10 Movies of 2014 and I think we all had some pretty great lists. Like JD said, coming up with just 10 was almost impossible since there was a ton of great films to choose from, so here I have listed my Top 20.

That being said (after the jump), let’s get into it and go over Brendan’s Top 10 Movies of 2014.

Brendan Cassidy’s Top 10 Movies of 2014:

10) Selma
The year 2014 was a weak year for biopics, and the one I predicted would be the weakest of them all turned out to be the strongest one in many years. Selma is not just about the great Martin Luther King, but instead focuses on a specific moment in his life that truly defined the man we would remember him as. Unlike most convoluted biopics that showcase an individual’s entire life, Selma strictly focuses on the march from Selma, AL to Montgomery in protest for voting rights after the Civil Rights Act is passed. In this film, MLK is a flawed man, one who is so devoted to his cause that he sometimes forgets about the safety of his people, only to realize this in a beautiful final sequence of redemption and honor that is so well earned. Brutal and shocking in parts, this is a perfectly well-realized biography. And David Oyelowo gives a star-making performance, and the supporting cast also helps create a multi-dimensional character film. Everyone needs to see this one. Look for our review of this coming soon.

9) Snowpiercer
It really took some time for me to realize this film’s greatness, but nonetheless I have finally arrived at that point. Snowpiercer is one of the most unique post-apocalyptic film’s I’ve ever seen, and my pick for the best science fiction film from 2014. Taking place entirely on a train that’s now home to the rest of humanity, after an attempt to end global warming kills all life in our planet, the story focuses on a group of “free loaders” forced to the back of the train (think third class on the Titanic), and their journey to take control of the engine at the front and bring order. But that is just a narrow-minded way of telling this story, and it eventually presents an interesting argument about social class that wasn’t expected, almost an allegory for our current political state. The writing and directing is top notch, the action is fun and shocking (that classroom scene still scares me), and the story is unique. Oh and Tilda Swinton is my pick for Best Supporting Actress in this, what a riot she was. Check this one out. Click here to hear our full review.

8) Calvary
Calvary is a beautiful “who-done-it” mystery about our perception of faith, the church, and the priesthood in this day and age. Here we follow Father James, played wonderfully by Brendan Gleeson in the most underrated performance of the year, who is the pure definition of a good-hearted man and priest to his church and people. And yet, others’ perception and respect toward him is always troubling and quite harsh, to say the least. After being told someone will murder him in 7 days, he is forced to examine his life and the people around him, those who show him no respect but also those who surprisingly do, creating a great juxtaposition on our varying viewpoints of faith. In the end though, it all boils down to forgiveness. Calvary boasts one of the year’s best original scripts, the film is both hilarious and deeply saddening, and we also get one of the best scores and father-daughter relationships of the year. A challenging film, but absolutely worth your time. Click here to hear our full review.

7) The Lego Movie
EVERYTHING IS…….oh you get the idea. This was the biggest surprise of the year for me, and upon viewing I didn’t expect to get one of the funniest films I’ve seen in recent memory. While the story itself is nothing new, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller cram their script with witty and laugh-out-loud gags by the second, and for me it all works. But what really sells it is the film’s surprising final act, one that pulls the rug from under our feets and becomes a beautiful tale of inspiration and creativity through the minds of innocence, and I was in tears by the end. Also featuring beautiful and complex animation, an INCREDIBLE voice cast (Chris Pratt rules), and that friggin’ addicting theme song, this will become an animated classic. Click here to hear our full review.

6) Ida
With beautiful black-and-white cinematography and two extraordinary female performances, this is a movie that captures both a particular time and place as well as a conflicting way of life in wonderful fashion. Our central character, about to take her vows to become a nun during 1960’s Poland, uncovers a mystery about her past and her Jewish family history, and thus becomes torn between a life she was raised and a life that’s in her blood. This internal struggle is one of the best I’ve seen in years, and how this ultimately affects her aunt (in another extraordinary performance) helps enhance the themes of internal doubt, not just about religion but about life in general. Beautiful film. Click here to hear our full review.

5) Nightcrawler
I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again, this is the Taxi Driver of our generation. Just like what Taxi Driver did for New York City, Nightcrawler does the same thing for Los Angeles, perfectly capturing a crime-ridden world that only enhances the film’s themes of obsession and the current job market, but in a truly frightening way. It’s hard to believe this is a first time directing job, but Dan Gilroy (brother to Tony Gilroy) is a revelation; I swear, the second half of this film is some of the most tense filmmaking I’ve seen in many years, and I was shaking in my boots. Beautiful cinematography, clever writing, and to top it all off, a transformative performance by Jake Gyllenhaal, my pick for the best lead performance from 2014. In fact, Gyllenhaal is not even in this movie, it is only Lou Bloom. This is a crime thriller that will be remembered. Click here to hear our full review.

4) How to Train Your Dragon 2
And the best year for animated films continues with my pick for the greatest animated sequel of all time (yes, that even includes Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3). How to Train Your Dragon 2 is The Empire Strikes Back of animated sequels, continuing the lighthearted and touching story of a boy and his pet dragon, but builds on it in the best and most surprising ways. Tackling darker themes with great maturity, this film takes huge risks and harkens back to what I love about The Lion King, and is a perfectly realized tale about the journey to becoming a man, and most importantly what it means to be a true leader. Boasting beautiful animation, a great script, wonderful voice talent, and one of the year’s best musical scores (and original song for that matter), this earns its dragon’s wings buy not only improving on its predecessor, but it makes the first film even better, and the first one was spectacular already! Click here to hear our full review.

3) Birdman
And the award for Best Director goes to? Well, I know who I would pick. What Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu was able to achieve in this film is still astounding to me. Made to look like it was shot in one take, Birdman follows Riggan, a man struggling with his own insecurity trying to overcome his past and make a new start that others will acknowledge. Yet at the same time, this movie makes an interesting commentary on the nature of art and entertainment in this day and age (superhero movies are a prominent theme), creating a funny, touching, strange, and incredibly beautiful film all at once. The cinematography is mindblowing, functioning like its own character in the film by creating a sense of paranoia and disorientation behind the stage. And Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Edward Norton, and the rest of the cast are revelations here. To anyone who loves film, theatre, or art in general, NEEDS to see this movie. Click here to hear our full review.

2) Whiplash
Never has a movie reached such a powerful climax that I just wanted to erupt into applause and press the replay button. Whiplash is a monster of a film, paced with a kinetic energy that moves like its own jazz piece. Not only does it make for the most electrifying film of the year, but it earns even more respect as a film that presents another argument in how greatness is achieved, and yet also has the guts to NOT answer the morality of these methods, letting the audience take part in the debate. Miles Teller is a revelation, and J.K. Simmons…..why bother? Give him the Oscar already! Click here to hear our full review.

1) The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
What would the world be without Studio Ghibli? I can answer that, an empty and meaningless place. Leave it to the great Isao Takahata (known for the wonderful Grave of the Fireflies) to return with not only the best animated film I’ve seen this year, not only the best overall film I’ve seen this year, but one of the most beautiful film experiences I’ve ever had, one that had me absolutely sobbing in the theatre. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is a poignant fantasy about a young girl, torn between a life of nobility and the normal and innocent life she truly wants. But that’s not all, this isn’t just a perfect “coming-of-age” tale, but it’s also a dark and visceral look at the horrors and misfortunes that we all endure in this world, and how many will choose to hide from it before realizing that joy and happiness can still be found in the simplest things, and this world is full of them. Beautifully animated, a fully realized story, and a stunning score make this one hard to top, and I’ll be watching this masterpiece for the rest of my life. Click here to hear our full review.

To round out the rest of my Top 20, here is the rest of my list:
11) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
12) Under the Skin
13) The Wind Rises
14) Guardians of the Galaxy
15) Gone Girl
16) Inherent Vice
17) Force Majeure
18) Captain America: The Winter Soldier
19) Enemy
20) Boyhood
