Back in August of 2022, I did my first "Review All Years" marathon. The focus was on 1992. Sadly, I did not create a specific page for that. That will change now. During the month of August (of 2024), I will once again try to fill in the blanks of years not covered at the site yet.
So, this year we will cover 2015.
What happened that year in film? The top five films worldwide were: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens; Jurassic World; Furious 7; Avengers: Age of Ultron; and Minions. Action fans were blown away by Mad Max: Fury Road. All the prestigious awards would go to The Revenant, including Leonardo di Caprio's first Oscar. Robert Eggers's career got off to a promising start with the slow-burn horror film The VVitch. Meanwhile, Jeremy Saulnier got punk culture right with his thriller The Green Room.
...but we're here for martial arts and Asian action.
What can we expect?
Hmm...let's see: Taiwanese arthouse, Korean period pieces, Mainland Chinese Fantasy, one of Jackie Chan's last decent films, belated sequels, and Scott Adkins (a double feature if I have time).
Movies covered:
Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe
The Assassin
Close Range
Rattlesnake Kung Fu
Wolf Warrior
Transporter Refueled, The
Empire of Lust
