Film and Theatre Lover!
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 130,000 times in 2015. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 6 days for that many people to see it.
The thing with seeing a lot of films over the year is that you are bound to see quite a few bad ones as well. I have improved in this over the past few years and totally learnt certain types of films to totally avoid like you know anything with Adam Sandler in! I know when I will be looking over a lot of people’s worst films of 2015 lists I will then be reminded that I made a good choice not to see some films when they were out at the cinema. Before reading my list and commenting being shocked a certain film wasn’t picked, these HERE are the films I saw at the cinema in 2015!
Also remember that this is MY opinion and how I feel about certain films, it’s fine if you loved any of them as it’s all subjective anyway. These films were so close to being on the list, Ted 2, Minions, Pitch Perfect 2, The Age of Adaline.

So here we go these are my worst films of 2015 . . .
This has been a really difficult list to put together this year as initially picking my best films from 2015 I had 17 in contention to make my top 10, which I think is very surprising but also pleasing to know that I actually enjoyed and liked a lot of films in 2015. It was rather difficult to narrow it down and I am sure this could have seen the films changed around depending on when I completed the list. Something which I am thinking having a running ranking system for 2016.
Didn’t manage to make the top 10 but were very close . . . Inside Out, Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Lady in the Van, Suffragette, Ricki and the Flash, The Martian, The Lobster.

Probably the best feeling is when your not really sure about going to see a film and you end up enjoying it. You find it to be a lot more insightful than you first thought and leave the cinema feeling glad that you decided to see that film that maybe didn’t have the best trailer going, or the story you thought would be predictable. I think it’s important to log which films leave you feeling like this, as when you see one you hate you can remember the element of surprise to keep you going!
One of the worst things about watching a lot of films has to be when your really looking forward to one. It has a lot of hype around it, it features one of your favourite actors, you like the sound of the story. You rush to see it at the cinema when it’s released and when it starts you are expecting a lot (probably the first problem) and in the end you are left feeling disappointed. Sometimes though even a little bit of hope for some films is too much and again you are disappointed as the credits roll.
