Jurassic World (2015)

Nostalgic and very much entertaining! 

During my kiddie days, I used to be fascinated by dinosaurs as heavily influenced by Dinobots, Land Before Time, Dinosaucers, and Dino-Riders.

It's good that they stuck with the same formula on this kind of genre. Chris Pratt is humorous as ever and might become GQs Man of the Year due to his blockbuster performances.

This sequel ravaged the box-office and no wonder it will be among the top 10 movies of all-time.

Bryce marathon scenes are FTW!

8.5/10

Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)

The "further" plane should stop here. I liked the plot but the scream factor diminished in comparison with Chapter 1 which ranked very high up there in my opinion.

This is not a prequel but worked in parallel with the first installment.

7/10

San Andreas (2015)

Disastrous disaster film.

Daming keme-keme dapat kung sisirain na ang West Coast wala ng drama drama.

5/10

Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)

In some cases sequels are better than the originals - this was not BUT still worth the money to give few laughs (thanks to Rebel Wilson) and a serious Spice-girl kind of empowerment.

Top billed by 2 Oscar nominees, Anna Kendrick and Hailee Steinfield. I always look at them as the future Anne Hathaways of this era.

Elizabeth Banks took the directorial chair and I am not an expert but she did a good job.

Oh man - and that Flashlight song by Jessie J. a must download, written by Sia and Sam Smith.

7/10

Bad Blood (Taylor Swift feat. Kendrick Lamar)

And just like that there's a new Billboard ruler.  It's no surprise that Swifties rule the charts with the unprecedented music video appeal of Bad Blood (the song penned by Taylor dissing Katy).

Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015)

What I admired about the film and I have said this in the first installment is the way Joss Whedon handles his female characters to be more interesting and not the typical damsel in distress.

I am not really an Avenger fan but I do acknowledge the beauty and dynamics of the team especially in the film. Marvel did a very great job of creating its universe unlike other movie outfits (Fox, talking to you). It's not as action packed as the previous but it focuses on character developments. Not to give away any spoilers but for me the highlights are with Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Vision.

I felt that the pacing was slow for the first half.

Love seeing Falcon, Fury, War Machine, Heimdall, and Stan the man.

No end credits but mid credits should leave you screaming inside if you know what I mean.

8.5/10

See You Again (Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth)

Finally, after spending 14 consecutive weeks at the top of Billboard - Uptown Funk was dethroned by Furious7 OST single - "See You Again". Hopefully it continues to funk downwards.

See You Again is a very good tribute not only to the franchise but to Paul Walker, touching but personally, not a fan of Wiz but to each his own.

Mark Ronson's song will sure to be nominated for Song and Record of the Year at the 2016 Grammys. High chances to become also 2015's song of the year.

Uptown Funk places 2nd in Billboard History spending longest weeks in number 1 position. The song ties with other 6 records - "I Will Always Love You", "I'll Make Love To You", "Macarena", "Candle In The Wind (97)", "I Gotta Feeling", and "We Belong Together".

Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day" remained the reigning and undisputed longest number 1 song (for 19 years) that ruled for 16 weeks.

And yes - this is one of my birthday wishes. Long live the divaaaahhhhh!
