22. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story- The first in the many proposed Star Wars anthology stories that sees how the plans for the first Death Star were stolen leading into A New Hope.
Top 10 expecting most:
10. Race- Even though Jesse Owens is an important figure in the Civil Rights movement, the fact that there has barely ever been any film about his exploits and this film is a very important one especially with how Hollywood treats minorities.
9. Fifth Bourne Film- Though the story is not known yet, the fact that Damon and Greengrass are returning is reason enough to get exited as we see Bourne after the events of the third film as we saw his action's effects in the fourth film.
8. Elvis & Nixon- The very idea that Elvis Presley met with Richard Nixon to become a government agent is so absurd that the fact that it's based on real events is what will make it fun to watch.
7. The Nice Guys- Having seen the trailer, the film looks like it will be very funny and the way Crowe and Gosling play off each other will be a great pairing.
6. Ghostbusters- A reboot to a classic '80s franchise may turn some people off, but the fact that the casts are now played by the funniest women ever will make it worth it, especially with the direction of Paul Feig.
5. Star Trek Beyond- Seeing as this film celebrates the 50th anniversary of the franchise, this has high expectations especially as it's been cowritten by Simon Pegg and will promise a story in tone of that of the original show.
4. Hail, Caesar!- The Coen Brothers have proven themselves time and time again that they can make the best of films, whether through drama or comedy, and with this they will prove that once again in this weird and funny period piece dealing with the filmmaking business.
3. Captain America: Civil War- Having read the original comic on which the film is based, I am very interested in how the film will play out. With so many heroes in one film, and the introduction of Black Panther and Spider-Man to the MCU, this is going to be big.
2. Deadpool- Having been in development for over 10 years with Ryan Reynolds working hard to get the character his own movie, this X-Men spinoff will see one of the most loved comic book characters get his own movies where he will curse, break the fourth wall, and absolutely cause mayhem wherever he goes.
1. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice- The comic book equivalent of The Lord of the Rings films, in that it's something that has been desired for decades but wasn't possible until now. With Batman and Superman sharing the screen, and Wonder Woman in her live action film debut, this will definitely be one of the biggest films of the year.

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is the first film of 2016 that I've seen, and as the first film it is a very strong start. Directed by Michael Bay, the film tells the true story of a highly trained security team who try to protect a diplomatic compound in Benghazi after a terrorist attack. This is definitely one of Bay's best films and proves that he isn't just a dumb action director who loves to blow stuff up, as he shows heart and soul in this true story depicting the long hours that the American soldiers faced when protecting their compound, though at times it makes it slow in some areas. Brilliantly acted, especially from John Krasinski as a believable soldier in the middle of a war zone after most of his roles before then were in comedies. Over all: 95%

Brooklyn

As the last film I saw from 2015, Brooklyn is one of the best films of the year with a touching story and acting done to perfection. The historical period drama, based on a 2009 novel, is well paced in telling the story of a young Irish girl in the early 1950s who immigrates alone to the United States and we see what she goes through in her new life as she faces new challenges, love, and tragedy. One of the biggest things about the film is Saoirse Ronan playing the main character in definitely the best performance of the year. Ronan has always proven herself as a serious actress since she was very young, as she was nominated for an Oscar when she was only 13 years old back in 2007, and now is nominated for this role and she definitely deserves it. The film is beautiful to watch and to me it harkens back to the classic love stories of movies from around the '30s to '50s. Over all: 100%

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

One of the biggest movies that came out in 2015 that was the most anticipated of that year was Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I really enjoyed the film, though there were too many moments throughout it that felt too much like fan fiction you'd find online. The biggest problem I find with Star Wars is the fans themselves who are too attached with the original trilogy and believe that all of the franchise has to revolve around the events of the first three films instead of telling new stories with new character in a galaxy that has had billions of years of stories. Disney is trying to hard to please the fans rather than having the fans understand there more in that universe. I like both the original trilogy and the prequels, which both have positives and negatives to them, and George Lucas is not a perfect artist, as there's no such thing, but at least he created an entire universe with characters and alien species that show how different a whole universe could be. If someone who wasn't so devoted to the franchise was hired to write and/or direct the films they'd take the big step of showing different characters and not the same ones as before. Though it's a whole lot better, I do find there are problems similar to ones I found in Jurassic World in trying to hard to reference previous films. Over all: 99%

Trumbo

Bryan Cranston once again shows his great acting talent by portraying Dalton Trumbo, a man who was kept from writing films throughout the 1950s due to his Communist beliefs. Trumbo looks at a time in America's and Hollywood's history that is both fascinating and shameful. Though the film takes some liberties with history, the film is still fun to watch for all the historical references especially the ones about films. One thing of note is Hellen Mirren's performance as Hedda Hopper where she manages to make herself very hateful. Over all: 98%

Creed

In what can be considered one of the biggest surprises that films have ever offered, Creed proves just how versatile and truthful Sylvester Stallone, the same way Maggie does with Schwarzenegger, can really act and deliver a touching and emotional performance. The film is definitely one of the bests of the year as it sees Stallone reprising the role of Rocky Balboa once again to teach the son of his deceased friend how to box. Stallone rightfully deserved his Golden Globe win and should definitely be nominated and win an Oscar. Michael B. Jordan himself does an amazing job as Adonis Creed and does a whole better job here than in Fantastic 4. Seeing how perfectly directed it is, it only makes sense that Ryan Coogler has been chosen by Marvel to direct their Black Panther film. Over all: 100%

The Good Dinosaur

2015 was a rare thing for Pixar since they had two of their films come out in the same year, with Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur. The Good Dinosaur was not as great as Inside Out, but it is a well made film with a nice, though already done, story. One of the greatest things about this animated film is the background animation for the landscape which is absolutely beautiful to look at and nearly looks real when compared to the characters who are very colorful and very obvious animation. Though the story is very familiar as it's been told by other movies wherein the protagonist must find his way home after getting lost with something they were against, but what happens throughout that is very interesting. The most surprising thing about this film is how dark it is compared to other Pixar films, such as a bug's head being bitten off and a story being told that's very graphic. Over all: 97%

Sanjay's Super Team

Before The Good Dinosaur was shown in theaters, it was preceded by another of Pixar's short animated films. Sanjay's Super Team looks at a young Hindu boy who fixates on his superhero toys more than his religion. What makes this team so special is that it perfectly mixes the stories and mythologies of superheroes with that of the Hindu gods and figures and shows that they're not so different.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2

The last film in the Hunger Games film series based on the three part young adult novel series by Suzanne Collins. Mockingjay - Part 2 is not a perfect film, but it is a well told and very engaging film with it's science fiction elements and war themes. Jennifer Lawrence once again perfectly plays the role that turned her into a household name as she tries to bring down the tyrannical President Snow while trying to make sure the people she cares about stay safe. The ending of the film is very interesting, neither great or the worst, as at first I thought that most of it was some kind of illumination but now I see it as a metaphor for how people expect too many big things at the end or a happy ending.
