Ant-Man
While Kevin Feige does try to keep the look and feel of most stories told in the Marvel Cinematic Universe the same, he does allow some directors to add a little bit of their own distinctive tone to the film. Such is the case with Ant-Man’s director, Peyton Reed (Yes Man).

The Minions
Overall, Minions has a very upbeat quality to it, and while the story is a bit lacking, the hijinks of the Minions help save the film from becoming another film in the 3D animated cannon fodder.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Extended Edition
While Jackson’s extended editions are usually the “go to” choice when choosing on film editions, The extended edition of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies can’t help the film from being just a 164-minute coda to a trilogy that was already complete.

Trainwreck
Trainwreck is a decent entry into the family of Judd Apatow comedies, and while the film does not really have rewatchability, it is a film with a lot of heart and showcases Amy Schumer’s acting skills.

Inside Out
For the most part, the story works. Docter's vision of the inner workings of a child's mind is engaging, colorful, and informative, and, as with most Pixar films, tries to convey a valuable life lesson to viewers, not just putting color and fanciful stuff on screen to just look pretty.

Ash vs Evil Dead
With it’s second season order already green-lit (before it’s series debut on Halloween night), it is safe to say that Ash and the insane horrors of The Evil Dead will not be disappearing any time soon.

Wayward Pines
Wayward Pines is an amazing mini-series that helps bring the tarnished reputation of Shyamalan back into the light.

American Horror Story: Freak Show
Unfortunately American Horror Story: Freak Show  deviated too much from the supernatural plot that had worked in past seasons, and had performances that were just too over-the-top for my taste.

Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland has an upbeat message about society and is more in line of the type of film Walt Disney would have approved his company making.
