Top 10 of 2015

We're only a day away til saying goodbye to 2015 and saying hello to 2016. A lot has happen this year and this year in entertainment there was just no doubt a mind-blowing year. I thought I give my top 10 list of this year's television, movies and what to look into for next year.

Television:
Top 10 Comedies:

1. Parks and Recreation, NBC: It was the final season of what I call the greatest comedy series to hit the airwaves. Once again the writing on the series was another home run, with amazing performances from this great ensemble cast. The series really gave us so much to laugh about and more important so much to tear up about as well.

2. Veep, HBO:
3. Transparent, Amazon
4. Girls, HBO
5. Inside Amy Schumer, Comedy Central
6. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, FOX
7. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Netflix
8. The Big Bang Theory, CBS
9.  Orange is the New Black, Netflix
10. Bo Jack Horseman, Netflix


Top 10 Dramas:


1. The Americans, FX: I can't find another show that had such a great season than this one. Keri Russell and Mathew Rhys gave a stunning performance in the third season. The show has gotten better since it premiered. Season Four comes in March.

2. Homeland, Showtime
3. The Blacklist, NBC
4. Chicago Fire/PD, NBC
5. Mad Men, AMC
6. Parenthood, NBC
7. Doctor Who, BBC America
8. Hannibal, NBC
9. The Walking Dead, AMC
10. Game of Thrones, HBO


Top 10 New Shows of 2015:


1. Jessica Jones, Netflix: The latest Netflix comic book series is another home run for the streaming service. I never heard of the character before or read the comics for that matter. This series dives into such dark realistic issues from PTSD, abuse and rape. Krysten Ritter and David Tennant gives a perfect performance and has such great chemistry. I'm so looking forward to a second season.

2. Chicago Med, NBC
3. iZombie, The CW
4. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Netflix
5. Blindspot, NBC
6. Supergirl, CBS
7. The Carmichael Show, NBC
8. Daredevil, Netflix
9. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, The CW
10. The Expense, SyFy


Movies:

Top 10 Movies of 2015:


1. Jurassic World, Universal: After being in Guardian's of the Galaxy in 2014, Chris Pratt comes out swinging in another blockbuster movie. I had so much exception for this film that it full filled it. I felt like a kid again when I first saw Jurassic Park and The Lost World. Nothing but perfection!

2. Inside Out, Pixar 
3. Minions, Universal
4. Furious 7, Universal
5. Sisters, Universal
6. Trainwreck, Universal
7. Pitch Perfect 2, Universal
8. Star Wars The Force Awakens, Disney
9. Vacation, Warner Bros.
10. Spectre, Sony


2016:

Top 10 Shows to Watch in 2016:


1. The X-Files, FOX: I think this is the one that we're all waiting for to premiere. With where television is at right now this is the perfect way get older shows to return. The return of Mulder and Scully is at the level of the return of Star Wars for television (not movies). This show's on my must see list when it premiere's Sunday, Jan 24th after the NFL NFC Championship and Monday, January 25th at 8/7c on FOX.

2. Marvel's Luke Cage, Netflix
3. Colony, USA Network
4. Angie Tribeca, TBS
5. Sherlock The Abominable Bride, PBS
6. The Magician, SyFy
7. The People vs OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, FX
8. Westworld, HBO
9. Legends of Tomorrow, The CW
10. Shades of Blue, NBC

Top 10 Films of 2016:


1. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros.: It's one of the most anticipated comic book film of the 2016 year. Ever since the news about Batman and Superman facing each other, the world was buzzing times 10 and after the full trailer was released a month ago, the expectations can't be any higher than what it is. Ben Affleck looks great as an older Batman, who's been around the block more than Superman. This will probably will be the Top 5 film of the year.

2. Captain America: Civil War
3. Ghostbusters
4. How to be Single
5. Neighbors 2
6. Bridget Jones's Baby
7. Untitled Jason Bourne film 
8. Suicide Squad
9. Star Trek Beyond
10. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

After a monstrous year in television and films, I hope that 2016 will come close to that level. Here's to 2016 and I wish everyone the happiest of new year.

THE X-FILES | Re-Opened

Here's a 21 minute first look of behind the scenes into The X-Files miniseries that will premiere next month.



The premiere of The X-Files begins on January 24th, right after the NFL NFC Championship.

ORPHAN BLACK New Season 4 Teaser: Coming Soon on BBC America

The teaser for the 4th season of Orphan Black was released. Even though it's only a teaser, it shows an plan eye at first but after it blinks a camera appears. What could this mean?

In a description of what's to come for the 4th season, the network says Sarah (Tatiana Maslany) will return home from her Icelandic hideout to track down an ally tied to the clone that started it all, Beth Childs, following her footsteps into a dangerous relationship with a new enemy.

Checkout the teaser:

Orphan Black returns in April 2016

Sisters

It's one of this year's best holiday movies. The comedy duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are back and hits another grand slam.

Sisters is about of course two sisters that are not only dealing with some personal issues but learns that their parents are selling their childhood home and it doesn't go well for them. And they come up with an idea to throw one last party with their high school friends and enemies as well.

Both Fey and Poehler play complete opposite characters in the beginning of the film. Maura (Poehler) a caring and wise little sister to Kate (Fey), who's life is a bit of a mess with a child. But as the film progresses, we see them as we usually see them and that's not a bad thing at all.


Besides Fey and Poehler, there are so many great supporting characters from the parents (played by Dianne Wiest and James Brolin) to Maya Rudoplh, Ike Barinholtz, Rachel Dratch and Samantha Bee. But I think the best were both John Cena and Bobby Moynihan who had the best scenes in the film.

Cena plays Pazuzu, a drug dealer that Kate and Marua buy from to make the party interesting. In one scene as he was showing what he had in his huge drug box. The names of everything he had was hilarious.

Moynihan, who plays Alex the annoying high school comic, goes from "oh my god I know that guy in high school" to one crazy comic after getting into Maura's drug. Performance was unbelievable along with Cena.

Sisters has that feel of not only connecting and looking back at your high school years but that you can't always go back to the past to look into the future. And I think that's what it showed when Kate and Maura had to deal with the selling of their parent's home.

The film was hilarious and so well written. Paula Pell written a great story and Fey and Poehler knocked it off at of the ballpark. I laughed (very, very hard), teared up some and laughed even more. This is defiantly the holiday film to see this Christmas.

Overall, I give this film a 9.5/10.

Sisters is available in theaters now.

Star Trek Beyond - Trailer (2016)

As this is opening week for the new Star Wars film, why not release the trailer for Star Trek too.

Today the latest installment trailer Star Trek Beyond was release today.

It looks really good from the music playing to seeing the the crew in life and death situation. I can't wait to see this film this summer.



Star Trek Beyond comes to theaters July 22, 2016,.
