While 'Blackhat' does hacking well and hints at the depths of cyberterrorism and a dichotomy of tangible and virtual threats, it's primarily a stylish but dull thriller that never quite satisfies.

Despite having all the elements of one, 'Big Eyes' isn't a very Tim Burton-esque film but more a straight-up biopic that effectively allows stars Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams to display their acting chops.

We may only be scratching the surface of what 2015 has to offer, but part of the fun of fandom is anticipation. Here are the 10 films that we at Pop Mythology are most anticipating for next year.

Christopher Yap, host of the 'Games, Seriously' podcast, knows video games. He also knows literature. In this interview, we talked to him about how and in what ways games can make great narratives of cultural importance.

'Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' confidently delivers on its themes, even as it holds back its biggest, boldest statements for the next film.

'Big Hero 6' is the new toy your kid will love intensely for a week and break in a month. Or the new big kid toy smartphone that will be obsolete next year.

'Interstellar' is that rare epic where the ideas and execution are so enthralling that we are eager to view its missteps as simply part of the journey.

'Birdman' is one of those rare films in which characters, setting, plot, music, humor, dialogue, imagery, and even meta-textual elements fit perfectly together.

'Fury' is similar to war itself: it's grim, relentless, filled with stark and stunning visuals, a lot of people die, and ultimately there is little to no meaning.

While the twisted story of 'Gone Girl' takes some effective stabs at meaning, it's most enjoyed when looked at for what it is, a story.

Although not entirely novel or even logical, the world of 'The Maze Runner' maintains momentum through its slow bits and cliches.

The main problem with Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is that it's too little improvement and too late for the novelty.

Guardians is likely the most important project that Marvel Studios has yet produced. Here is why and what Marvel should take away from it.

In many ways, Guardians of the Galaxy serves as a celebration of all which Marvel has accomplished thus far and a foreshadowing of that which will may in the future. It is a wonderfully crafted, unique, and truly, truly enjoyable experience.

Everything about 'Lucy' - from the silly and stupid to the fun and actually kind of brilliant - stem from its deeply flawed premise.
