My Tops of 2015 - August

TRAINWRECK wasn't as subversive as it proclaimed it was but it is very funny at times and has a wonderful cast.




EVERLY could have been a worthy action exploitation flick but the torture porn aspect and its pitiful Black-List-worthy script ruined any chance of fun.




MISTRESS AMERICA may not have a groundbreaking story but the sheer amount of screwball humor and joy it has, coupled with the winning performances and masterful direction, makes it a very fine treat.


Though I didn't plan for it, all of the new films I saw this month were led by a female actress. Hooray!

Still slightly even with my Best and Worst lists by I really do need to step up by viewing output, especially since I have only four months remaining and October always is a cluster-month with my Horrors of Halloween.
