Upcoming Hollywood Films By Release Date

It's harvest time, so get ready for a bumper crop of Hollywood films leading up to Christmas Day.
Yep, its only 98 days til December 25th but you can count on some of these films won't last a few weeks and others will be a lock for Oscar nods. 
CP's Pick's: The first "Black Mass" and the last "Point Break" are the really the only films of interest. Expect that Point Break will miss unless they can capture the epic surf action of the first Point Break.
Oscar buzz will soar with the Libtard P/C crowd swooning over The Danish Girl, Spotlight, and Stonewall. The Martian and Jobs may disappoint, but there are a couple of gems out there as well.  "Time Out Of Mind" may be Richard Gere's most committed role. Star Wars and The Dark Horse best known and least known will get Oscar attention.
Check back in December and see if any of CP's picks pan out.

I hope the Bond movie is better than that steaming-pile-of-poop theme song.

Looks like STONEWALL is going to beat out PIXELS for Worst Movie Of The Year.

I saw "Black Mass" and was impressed. I thought it was a good flick. I really liked seeing the change of character of Johnny Depp; the contrast between the silly and likable character he portrays in the "Pirates" series and the deadly and dangerous person of "Black Mass."

Then I saw "Sirocco" (if this is the right spelling??)(can't pronounce or spell it. 'Autospell' came up with what is printed here.) and thought that flick was awesome. All the acting was very good. The title character's acting was spectacularly good IMO. The girl was made too innocent/do right/do good. Not really believable. Can't downgrade her acting: that was also very good. The script is at fault?

Seems like these crime pics are getting much meaner. Message that crime is an exceptionally nasty thing that is perhaps even worse for the criminal than for the victim is replacing or has replaced the message of the flicks of 'once upon a time' that crime was just 'something that happens' or that crime is a game between the cops and the bad guys. I don't know if the world is really getting meaner and more vicious but I know that after seeing these flicks my paranoia is working overtime. And my paranoia feels vindicated for its intensity over the many decades of my life.

What?!? The trailer looked awesome. Vin Diesel's performance looked like the same oscar type of performances that he's done in the past. That raw emotion that he expresses with every line he makes is unbelievable especially when he played Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. Watch The Last Witch Hunter Online
