Imad for Movies' Year End Blitz

Welcome to Imad's Vague Opinion! 

Have a seat, preferably like so-
Jurassic World, amarite?
Let us begin with the thespians who dominated the year...

Actor of the Year 2015  .
Domhnall Gleeson
The Revanant, Ex Machina, Star Wars, and Brooklyn
2014 - Liam Neeson

Actress of the Year 2015  .
Alicia Vikander
The Man from UNCLE, Ex Machina, The Danish Girl, Burnt

The cast of Ex Machina is 2015 in a nutshell. 
Gleeson (Left), Vikander (Center). 
If there were a second place award for Actor of the Year, it might go to Oscar Issac (Right) but I'm not here to talk about losers. 


Across the Finish Line  .
The following is a ranking of films that were released (either limited or wide) during 2015. The final count as of 12.31.15, the natural deadline for such lists, stood at 46 film watched and will be added to as more films are watched. 

Please note that this ranking is relative and doesn’t necessarily represent how great a film is. 2015 had such a high volume of quality films, garnering more 10's on my IMDb ratings than any year prior. Filmmakers truly delivered on their promises and showcased the growing diversity of talent Hollywood has to offer. Even the franchise juggernauts were experimenting with timeless stories to fantastic results. They also still refused to let Matt Damon be abandoned. Even just the action in films this year might be the most thrilling in the history of cinema! 

Relativity in mind, the top ten is truly my top ten and the bottom four are, no doubt about it, the garbest of garbage. Here, now, is the…
