The 3rd Annual
2015 Summer Movie Season Awards

By: Brandon Porter

 
 

Hello Followers!!! We are just a few weeks into the fall movie season, but I wanted to take this opportunity to acknowledge what a whirl wind Summer Movie Season it has been. From big action, big laughs, and big bucks, the 2015 silver screen play ground has been nothing short of amazing. As we prepare for the arrival of the Oscar contenders as well as the fall and winter mega blockbusters, let’s acknowledge the players who made this SMS one to remember.

 
 

 
  
  Best Animated Feature (Inside Out)
Pixar Animation Studios had the comeback story of the summer with the hilarious, beautifully animated, and emotionally substance filled masterpiece Inside Out. An incredible collection of talent from the voice actors to the animators, Inside Out is not only the best animated movie of summer 2015 but one of Pixar’s best films if not one of the best films of the year. This surely fills me up with so much JOY!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 Best Summer Movie Actor (Chris Pratt)
Master builder, Galactic Guardian, and now…raptor tamer!!! If you want to talk about a guy who has the it factor in Hollywood right now, then Chris Pratt fits the bill. No one has had the two year blow up that Pratt has had. Between Guardians of the Galaxy and this years’ box office gargantuan Jurassic World, good fortune as well as talent are what are used to describe the most bankable man in Hollywood. All eyes are on him as he continues his skyrocketing road to superstardom
 
 
 
 
 
  Best Summer Movie Actress (Rebecca Ferguson)
Sleek, sexy, mysterious, and just a straight up badass! Mission Impossible Rogue Nation's hard to read antihero caught many people’s attention with her stand out performance in the recent critically acclaimed espionage thriller. She displays a talent that is the perfect balance and sexuality and deep layered substance. If she continues her progression, she might find herself teaming with another group of highly skilled teammates. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes perhaps?
 
 
 
 
 
Best Musical (Straight Outta Compton)
Hard beats, unquestionable flow, and an unapologetic commentary of the world they live in, F. Gary Gray’s biopic of the infamous hip hop group NWA took the world by storm and became one of the most talked about films of the summer. A collection of talented young actors and one of the best black directors in Hollywood today helped tell the story of the most influential and fearless groups in the history of the genre.
 
 
 
Best Studio (Universal Pictures)
I don’t think I have to stress to you all the type of year that Universal is having right now. With already receiving the biggest box office numbers in the year including having three (two in this year's summer movie season) of the four $1 billion dollar movies, Universal is having a year to remember with no signs of slowing down.
 
 
 
 
Best Super Hero Movie (Ant-Man)
Two things to know about this best super hero movie award recipient that won’t and will surprise you. Yes: it’s a Marvel Studios and NO: it’s not Avengers: Age of Ultron. To everyone’s surprise, the superhero movie of the summer is not the assembling from May but rather the big hero who is small in stature. Ant-Man may not have had the box office boom that Avengers did, but the MCU heist movie had the uniqueness, the heart, and the charm to become the “biggest” and most pleasant surprise this summer. Looking forward to seeing Scott Lang team up with earth’s mightiest heroes for the start of Phase 3.
 
 
 
 
Best Action Movie (Terminator Genisys)
Out of all the action movie this summer, Terminator Genisys gave audiences a fun and nostalgia filled thrill ride that respected its roots and created a foundation for this next gen collection of films. Emilia Clarke and Arnold Schwarzenegger do work in this thrilling reboot that creates an alternate timeline for the fate of humanity. Maybe this time around, SkyNet can be stopped.
 
 
 
 
 
Most Underrated Movie (Tomorrowland)
We go into movie trying to escape the world we live in. But rarely does a movie motivate you to work toward making that world a better place than the one you fanaticize about in books, games, and movies. Tomorrowland despite its terrific message didn’t thrill the action hungry movie goers of the box office. That being said, that is actually what makes the film so special. It isn’t trying to be a sci fi action spectacle but a wakeup call for the dreamers looking to use their gifts to make the world into something greater. The future is in good hands as long as those dreamers know how to feed the right wolf.
 
 
 
 
 And now...the top award for the 2015 summer movie season goes to!!!.......
 
 
 
 

 
Movie of the Summer (Jurassic World)
The park opened and it was a sight to behold…with the exception of the escaped hybrid, pteranodon legion, massive destruction, and inevitable lawsuits that will soon emerge afterwards. Despite the amass chaos, the newest installment of the Jurassic Park franchise offered the most respectfully done nostalgia fest in recent memory. Filled with the same wonder that made the 1993 classic so memorable with some of the best action seen in the franchise, Jurassic World rightfully roars to the top to become not just the summer’s best sci-fi movie the Summer’s Top Film. Life will always find a way.
 
I want to thank each and every one of you all for supporting the blog once again this year. Your support drives me to continue. Now, just because the summer is over doesn’t mean I’m done posting. Stayed tuned later this year for more post including special post involving two very special films I’m extremely excited about. Until next summer followers, have a happy and safe fall and winter.
