The Movie Year Of 2014

Really ? 2014 is coming to an end ?

Oh man, time runs by so fast.  And what a crazy movie year 2014 was,  with both some really good highlights and some forgettable releases......that were not supposed to be released,  especially Medecinen.......:O

January of 2014 started off good,  with the war action film Lone Survivor, director Peter Berg. This was actually one of the better films with Mark Wahlberg. Director Spike Jonze returned with his great drama film Her,  with Joaquin Phoenix doing a really good perfomance. January is known for releases with less quality, so it is no surprise that I,Frankenstein was not what I expected.

February felt a bit more interesting. Some titles did manage to give some entertainment like 3 Days Of Kills, with Kevin Costner kicking ass in Paris. Then we also had the remake of Robocop, with swedish actor Joel Kinnaman.  He did actually manage to do a good perfomance. One film that have to be mentioned is Holy Ghost People, the best film so far from director Mitchell Altieri. There were actually not that many bad releases this month,  so that was a surprise. 

March started really good with The Grand Budapest Hotel.  I never wrote a review on this film,  even if i planet to do so, but this is a really funny film. Elijah Wood showed what a great actor he is in Grand Piano.  One of the best thrillers of 2014. Jason Bateman both directed and was the lead actor in the dark comedy Bad Words. A funny film that should have been seen by a larger audience. Jake Gyllenhaal delivered another amazing perfomance in Enemy,  one of the best films of the spring of 2014. I loved the film The Rain when it camera out in 2011. The sequel camera out and proved to be really good,  The Raid 2 was something for action lovers. March had more good titles,  these were just some of the chosen ones. 

April turned out to be less interesting.  Just a few good releases landed,  especially Captain America : The Winter Soldier. One of my personal favourite releases this month was Blue Ruin, a film that was made thanks to supporters of Kickstarter. A very powerful drama film with very strong perfomances. 

May got me really excited with X-Men: Days Of Future Past. The best of the X-Men films so far, improved in many ways.  Fans of Godzilla were happy to see a new version of Godzilla. Compared to the 1998 film, this was a much more worthy version of this iconic monster. Scotish film Filth exploded in to our minds and have us a hell of a good time. One film that did not deliver was Adam Sandlers romantic comedy Blended.  Simply boring and predictable. 

June, july and august was filled with summer block busters . Some were easy to forget , like Transformers : Age Of Extinction and the awful Cameron Diaz comedy Sex Tape. Thankfully we got some nice treats with The Sacrament,  one of the best documentary horror films in a long time. The Signal turned out to be a really good science fiction film. Eric Bana surprised me as he played a NY cop fighting posessed humans in Deliver Us From Evil.  Nothing unique, but still a fun summer film. Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes turned out to be better than i expected. Fantastic CGI effects and Gary Oldman delivered a strong perfomance once again. I was really happy about The Expendables 3,  and it turned out to be a blast. Great to see Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson in the same film. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the remake from Michael Bay that did not turn out in a good way. The Purge : Anarchy was actually better than anyone could have expected.

September did not feel like a good movie month of releases. Except for a few releases like The Make Runner, a teenage science fiction adventure film that is surprisingly good. Kevin Smith returned with his latest film Tusk,  a fun mix of horror, drama and thriller. Apart from this not many titles fit my taste. 

October started off good with Gone Girl, by director David Fincher.  Not as good as some critics were saying but still good. A really awful film with John Cusack called Hard Drive,  was really bad. Thankfully october gave us Nightcrawler,  one of the best films of 2014. Jake Gyllenhaal did an amazing perfomance as the sociopath Lou Bloom,  run and watch it as fast as you can.

November and december had a lot of releases that  I have not seen yet,  so I will finish here and save some titles for upcoming reviews in this new year of 2015.

Thank you all my readers worldwide for making 2014 to my most visited and most read reviews ever. This means a lot to me and i will continue to write reviews as long as the readers want me to go on.

Have a happy new year and drink lots of champagne, if you have some left i dont mind a few drinks.
