2015 has been another great year for movies. While there were big movies that everyone saw, there were just as many wonderful films that most passed over. Here are our ten favorite hidden gems of the year.
There are many, many things to appreciate about Ridley Scott’s The Martian, but perhaps its greatest contribution is its incredible approach to science-based problem solving, and its ability to basically educate viewers about space travel while also being ridiculously entertaining.
The CinemaBlend staff saw a lot of movies during the first six months of 2015, and we tracked all of our scores to come up with a collective average of the 10 best movies that have reached theaters.
There are people out there who spend a whole lot of money on sex dolls. The more money, the more realistic. And now, a new element is being developed in a particular line of sex dolls that could animate the dolls. The creator of RealDoll is on the forefront of developing a convincing AI sex doll, and we’re a little bit scared about it.
Is your head still reeling from the ending of Ex Machina? So's ours. Pull up a chair, and let's discuss what we think happened just before the credits started rolling.
The topic of artificial intelligence seems to be as prevalent as ever on the cinematic scene. While the upcoming Avengers Age of Ultron looks to showcase that aspect in a big-budget popcorn capacity, sci-fi thriller, Ex Machina is already doing that quite poignantly in its sneak peak showings.

Stop trying to make Dredd 2 happen. It’s not going to happen. That's basically the latest word to come from the first film’s screenwriter Alex Garland.

In order to help answer that question, we’ve thrown together a quick guide highlighting some of the big movies of SXSW, when they are playing, and why we are so excited to see them.
We are now only a little over a month away from the start of the annual SXSW Film Festival in Austin, and judging from the list of features that will be both premiering and screening, this year’s event should wind up being a great one. But amongst all of the titles, which ones are the big standouts?
"To erase the line between man and machine is to obscure the line between men and gods," warns the trailer for the upcoming sci-fi thriller Ex Machina. And the dangers that tagline implies are teased in chilling promo that's as beautiful as it is unnerving.
