We Are Your Friends (DVD Review)
With the proliferation and international appeal of electronic music it is hard to explain why such a fresh and ripe new movement hasn’t garnished more attention from the film industry. The first feature film directed by Max Joseph(Catfish: The TV Show), We Are Your Friends attempts to shine the cinematic light on this relatively new and emerging genre of music. Following the story of a young up-and-coming DJ, Cole Carter(Zac Efron), We Are Your Friends brings the audience into the club, and the heart of club music. Quickly taken under the wing of veteran DJ James Reed(Wes Bentley), Cole begins to find his own style and works his way into the main stream circuit. Utilizing a wonderful soundtrack, a few scenes of drug-induced surrealism, a great performance from Wes Bentley, and the age old tale of self-discovery We Are Your Friends sounds like a great way to spend a Friday night, but somehow fails to find its beat.

2015 was a great year for movies and it seems that most of them, or at least most of the good ones, are saved for December. I was busy catching up on films right up until New Year’s Eve. I may be a week late but better late than never when it comes to film. This list is technically my “Top 11 or 12” but I could have made it bigger but then that wouldn’t be efficient. There are quite a few surprises in store, as well. In any event – I give you my favorite films of 2015!

This year I probably got to see the least amount of films I wanted to at the theater. Such is the case with a full schedule of work, school and an Irish dance show. So what did the year bring us? We got revisits from popular franchises like Mission Impossible and Avengers, though for only the second in the series, Avengers: Age of Ultron felt tired and rather boring. Meanwhile, Tom Cruise keeps chugging away putting out better spy films than the famed Bond series. As for the bottom feeders, although I did miss out on the often criticized Fantastic Four reboot, I do have plenty to talk about as far as the duds that hit cinemas this past year. Without further fluff and rambling dialogue, I give you my best and worst of 2015.
Get ready for the explosive final chapter of one of the most ambitious and thrilling series of all time. Anchor Bay Entertainment releases the third season of the critically acclaimed Starz Original series, “DA VINCI’S DEMONS: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON,” on Blu-ray™ and DVD on January 26th. From Creator and Executive Producer David S. Goyer (Blade, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel), comes the conclusion of the historical fantasy series that focuses on a young Leonardo da Vinci as he struggles with his inner demons and outside forces in a battle to shape the future. This is a story of the first true “Renaissance man” in a provocative series that the Hollywood Reporter calls “endlessly fascinating.” 
Named one of the best under the radar films of 2015 by 
Welcome to my version of the Top 10 Films Of 2015! No matter the year, whether it be considered a “good” or “bad” one, I still find it hard to whittle the thing down to 10. Last year I skewed it a bit, going for cute with 14 films in 2014. This year, tough as some of the cuts were, I was able to get it down to 10. The year had some very emotional highs for me, and every one of the films on the list grasped at me in some certain way. They left me with some good thought or appreciation while others exhilarated and had me very amped up after seeing them. With 2015, the typical Oscar bait didn’t really impress me too much and I’ve also decided I’m going with my gut and the films I’m going to revisit most after this year. Those really are the ones that are “best” to me. I look back at my previous Top 10s lists and there are ones I haven’t even touched since making the list. I’ve given up doing a Worst films list for my own reasons, but if you’re wondering The Human Centipede 3 was the worst film I saw this year and the worst film I saw at the theater was Terminator: Genisys (And yes, I did see Fantastic Four. But is it worth arguing which of those is more awful?). Now, onto my picks!
