2015 was a big year for TwoOhSix.com as I was able to provide coverage for a total of six different film festivals as well as two conventions before it was all said and done. As we gear up for what lies ahead in 2016, let's take a look back at all of those awesome memories including my "Festival Favorite" movie from each of last year's film festivals.

Dirty Grandpa is a raunchy comedy starring Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, and Aubrey Plaza. De Niro plays Dick Kelly, an elderly man who has just lost his wife to cancer.
