My Top Ten Most Anticipated Films For The Rest Of 2015



My Top 10 Most Anticipated Films for the Rest of 2015

For the past couple years I have created this list highlighting upcoming films for the months of July through December. Many of these films already have a lot of attention surrounding them, but hopefully you'll find a couple here that you were unaware of. 2015 has already seen some instant hits beloved by audiences and critics alike, and it's seen its share of crap as well. But in my opinion, the year is only getting started. There are some very exciting films that will be released in the second half of the year. Here are my most anticipated films for the second half of the 2015:

JURASSIC WORLD Is Not As Smart As The Original But Still Fun.


JURASSIC WORLD

Director: Colin Trevorrow
Cast: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Nick Robinson, Ty Simpkins, and Vincent D'Onofrio.
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril.

In the summer of 1993, I had one of the greatest theater experiences of my life at the age of nine. Steven Spielberg showed me that dinosaurs could be resurrected in his now classic film, Jurassic Park. I eagerly anticipated the sequel only to find that the magic got lost somewhere along the way. Jurassic Park III tried to recapture it, but it was a vain attempt. Needless to say, I did not have the highest of expectations going into the fourth installment, Jurassic World. While the original film cannot be matched in thrills or brains, I must admit I had a good time with this latest sequel.

Pixar Is Back On Top With One Of 2015's Best: INSIDE OUT .


INSIDE OUT

Director: Pete Doctor
Cast: Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Bill Hader, and Richard Kind.
Rated PG for mild thematic elements and some action.

Pixar is known for delivering all-time animated classics, such as the Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Up. There have been some recent missteps along the way (Cars 2, Brave), causing many to wait for Pixar to deliver yet another classic. It's here, people. Inside Out may be advertised as a kid-friendly family film, but in my opinion, it is one of the most adult family films I've seen and all the better for it.
