Movie 77 of 366:

Black Mass (Scott Cooper, 2015)

Johnny Depp is vicious and nearly unrecognizable in a career high performance.  The film itself is a bit sloppy in its flow, but Depp’s performance is more than enough reason to watch.

Spotlight Performances:

Depp, duh.

Joel Edgerton, ever the lovable hardass

Benedict Cumberbatch plays up the struggle with his relatively straight laced life and his blind-eye loyalty to his criminal brother, and pulls off a decent Boston accent.

Peter Sarsgaard as Brian Halloran, the sympathetic fuck up

Juno Temple is trashy, naive and tragic

Movie 41 of 366:

Jupiter Ascending (The Wachowskis, 2015)

Wachowskis did great with the world building anchored by a down to Earth, realistic female lead. Cool fusion of genetics, reincarnation, and royal drama into an expansive space opera. The emotional notes here unfortunately don’t always hit but are set up great for an expanded universe.
