We’ve begun our annual catch-up of the top-rated movies of 2015. And so:

Spy (imdb | rotten tomatoes) was the funniest movie I’ve watched in ages. I actually cried a little from laughing, and my stomach kinda hurt afterward. Tons of great support work here, but Melissa McCarthy is a goddamn champion.

’71 (imdb | rotten tomatoes) was…ugh. Not bad, just…ugh. A trial, for sure. I think I would have liked it more but I couldn’t understand about 35% of the movie since I’m not from Belfast. That’s not the movie’s fault, but it’s why I never quite got into it the way I probably would have otherwise.
