Final Oscar Predictions 2015

Preface

You guys know how much I love the Oscars.
- The answer, if you’re new to this site, is a lot.
Even though we get mad every year about all the snubs (Lego Movie, Jake Gyllenhaal, Gone Girl), it’s the one day of the year where everyone really cares about and loves movies as much as I do all the time.
- Makes the world a better place…
So here are my final predictions for who will win at the big ceremony tonight!
- I’ve talked about a lot of these in depth before (I’ll link my reviews for each) so I won’t waste wordcounts with a huge amount of explanation.
  - I’ll keep it simple with the nominees list, followed by Will Win and Could Win.
    - Though the whole Could Win thing feels like a bit of a cheat at times, I do feel more confident with all my picks if I have it in ‘second place’.
  - Alrighty, let’s start it up!

Kingsman: The Secret Service Review

Premise

Well, it’s official ladies and gentlemen: we have our first great movie of 2015.

Premise

(I decided to start adding in this section just because there are people who don’t know what some movies will be about, which is completely fine, not everyone is a huge movie fan all the time. This is for you all!)
So Kingsman: The Secret Service is about a secret spy organization–you guessed it, The Kingsman–and it’s more specifically about an agent of the Kingsman who is recruiting a new kid to join them following the death of their former member.
And I purposely annotated one of the later trailers above because initially, I didn’t think it looked that good!
- It looked like that Alex Rider piece-of-crap from my childhood.
- Anybody else remember that??
Luckily, it wasn’t. And this movie could be reviewed in just one word: awesome.

Preface

Here’s a new segment on this site, which will probably be pretty uncommon.
- It’s called a “Re-Review” where I post new thoughts on something I’ve already done a formal Review on.
- They’ll happen because either I’ve re-watched something and have more thoughts on it that I didn’t discuss before, or because I’ve seen the film/show in a new light and want to give my updated thoughts on it.
And yeah, when it comes to Friends: that second one.
You can click here to check out my original thoughts on Friends, and you can go on over to Netflix or iTunes and check out the entire show if you choose. (Which I recommend.)
- Re-Reviews will delve into some spoilers, but nothing that will totally ruin the show for you. Stick around, enjoy, let’s go!

Preface

There are two quick ways of me describing me this movie.
“So you know those movie mistake sections in, like, People Magazine? Those ones where it’s like, oh she was wearing this color nail polish in one shot, but the next shot she isn’t wearing any. You know those? Yeah, that’s this entire movie.”
Or……
“This movie kinda reminds me of The Phantom Menace had a kid with Prometheus and that kid is being water-boarded by Divergent. And yeah, that ain’t good.”

Preface

I don’t even know where to start with this movie!!
- That’s not because it’s bad or good either, I just don’t even know where to begin.
Thank God it isn’t Fifty Shades of Grey…
- And yeah, sorry MyMovieThoughts.com fanboys, that review won’t be hitting your screens ever. EVER.
Two words come to mind when watching this movie:
- Trip.
- Also acceptable: Berserk. Ridiculous.
