Star Wars:
The Force
Awakens -
After the de-
feat of the
Galactic Em-
pire, the evil
First Order at-
tempts to rule
the galaxy. A
group of unexpected heroes (Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Harrison Ford) join forces with the Resistance to try and stop a younger Dark Vader, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Director J. J. Abrams (Mission Impossible 3) did a great job keeping this 7th blockbuster franchise moving in a fast pace. Largest box of- fice weekend of All-Time in the U. S. - making $238M / Foreign $279M. (Budget N/A). ****
In The Heart Of The Sea - Inspired by the novel, Moby Dick, a crew of seamen (Chris Hemsworth) set sail for whaling oil, but are con- fronted by a giant whale with no mercy. Directed by Ron Howard, this film was really intense. Made $18.6M. (Bud-
get $100M). **** Krampus - A boy named
Max (Emjay Anthony) who has a bad Christmas acci- dently summons an evil gremlin-like monster that comes to his home and ter- rorizes his family. An uncon- ventional horror/comedy film during Christmas time that is a surprise hit at the box office. Definitely, not for kids. Made $34M. (Budget $15M). ****
Creed - Former Heavy- weight Champion Rocky Bal- boa (Sylvester Stallone) is forced to act as a trainer and mentor to Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan), the son of his former rival and friend Apollo Creed. Tessa Campbell also stars. Well-written box- ing drama. Must-See! Made $87M. (Budget $35M). ****
The Good Dinosaur - Another Pixar animation classic (Toy Story, Finding Nemo) about a dinosaur named Arlo (voiced by Ray- mond Ochoz) becomes an un- likely friend with a human (voiced by Marcus Scriber). Jeffrey Wright also stars as Poppa. Excellent animation
for kids and adults. Really en- joyed it! Made $96M. (Bud- get N/A). ****
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Pt. 2 - As the War escalates to the destruc- tion of other districts by the Capital, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) must bring to- gether an Army against Pres- ident Snow (Donald Sutherland). A serious up- grade of action unlike Part 1. Must-see for Hunger Games fans. Still No. 1 at box office. Made $254M. (Budget $160M). ****
Spectre - James Bond (Daniel Craig) goes under- cover to battle a sinister or- ganization (Spectre - Christoph Waltz), while M (Ralph Fiennes) fights politi- cal forces to keep the secret service alive. This Bond film doesn’t compare to ‘Skyfall’ and this is the first Craig’s Bond movie his face doesn’t get bruised after all the crashes and fighting. 2 hrs. /30 mins. long. Still action- packed. Made $193M U. S. / Foreign $642M. (Budget $245M). ***1⁄2
The Peanuts Movie - Snoopy embarks on his great- est mission with his crew to take to the skies to pursue their enemies. Charlie Brown begins his own quest back home. Might be the best Snoopy/ Charlie Brown film. Kids will definitely like this animation. Made $124M. (Budget $99M). ****
Sicario - An FBI agent (Emily Blunt) is enlisted by an elected government Task Force (Benicio Del Toro) to help fight against the Mexi- can Drug Cartel. This thriller is definitely worth-seeing. Made $46M. (Budget $30M). ****
The Last Witch Hunter
- The last witch hunter (Vin Diesel) fights against the most vicious witches in his- tory. Had potential to be a good film, but fell short big time. Elijah Woods (Frodo- Lord of the Rings) also stars. Made $26M. (Budget $90M). **
Goosebumps - A teenager (Dylan Minnette) hooks up with the daughter (Odeya Rush) of horror au- thor R. L. Stine (Jack Black) after the writer’s imaginary monsters are set free on the town. Definitely a must-see for teens. Made $78M. (Bud- get $58M). ***1⁄2
Bridge Of Spies - Di- rected by Steven Spielberg, this film is about an American lawyer (Tom Hanks) who is recruited by his law firm and the CIA during the Cold War to help rescue a pilot and stu- dent in the Soviet Union. This movie was well-written, but moved real slow in action. If you like Tom Hanks, go see. If not, wait for DVD. Made $69M. (Budget $40M). ***
