Midpoint


We're just a little over halfway through 2015, and I've seen 27 of the year's movies (so far). I thought that now would be a good time to rank those movies! Of course, this is just my opinion, one of many. But if you haven't seen some of the films in, say, the top ten, then try and watch them if/when you can.

Ok, here we go….


  1. It Follows
  2. Jurassic World
  3. Mad Max: Fury Road
  4. Magic Mike XXL
  5. Far From the Madding Crowd
  6. Woman In Gold
  7. Kingsman: The Secret Service
  8. Paddington
  9. Ex Machina
10. What We Do In the Shadows
11. Inside Out
12. We are Still Here
13. A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence
14. The Gallows
15. Spy
16. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
17. The DUFF
18. Avengers: Age of Ultron
19. The Age of Adeline
20. Pitch Perfect 2
21. The End of the Tour
22. Insidious: Chapter 3
23. Cinderella
24. Terminator Genisys
25. Insurgent
26. Jupiter Ascending
27. Poltergeist


And... that's it (so far). The only movie on the list I couldn't find much to like about was the Poltergeist remake. Just awful. Otherwise, each film (even Jupiter Ascending) has something to offer. There are three movies coming out soon that I can't wait to see and add to the list -- Ant-Man, Mr. Holmes and Trainwreck.

Onward, 2015 cinema!

Yesterday's Restaurants

The local newspaper has a feature from one of Champaign-Urbana's most legendary restaurateur's, John Katsinas, on what his favorite area restaurants were that have now since closed (or will soon be closing).  It's a nice little read, and has made me stop and think about the restaurants that have come and gone that have left an indelible (and edible) impression on me throughout the years. Here we go....

31 Days of Horror Movies: Thir13en Ghosts

While not a scholar or even a purist, I am somewhat of a film snob. Not a big fan of remakes, specifically when the originals don't need updating. It is therefore an unusual position I find myself in, preferring a remake to an original, and by leaps and bounds. Let's take a look at today's feature...

31 Days of Horror Movies: The Woman In Black

Yesterday, we had a lady in white, and today we have.... The Woman In Black Just as Nosferatu was our oldest horror film to be reviewed this month, The Woman In Black is our most recent. Released earlier this year, the film stars Daniel Radcliffe in a more adult role than previously seen in his Harry Potter career. He plays a young lawyer whose wife died in childbirth, so he has been raising their son (mostly) on his own. With money tight, and his job on the line, the young attorney takes an assignment in a remote village, much to his dismay. The small, closed community Radcliffe's character finds himself in is apparently haunted by a woman dressed in all black. When she is seen, a child dies. She is seen quite a lot during the course of the film. The locals get edgy with the attorney, making him feel most unwelcome. And when he is doing his work, sorting through the papers of a deceased elderly woman, he discovers the secret of the woman in black. It doesn't
