New Years Eve Review 2014

It's been a rough year but I got to see as much as I can.

Big Hero 6: It's the second movie that made me cry (the first being Wreck It Ralph). Good movie.

Only Lovers Left Alive: I'm still geeking out about a movie that has vampire Loki.

Tekken 2 Kazuya's Revenge: I really wish I didn't heard of this film let alone watched it. It's like if The Raid 2 was directed by that jackass who gave us Legend of Chun-Li. Hell this film hurt me just as much as Legend of Chun-Li; though not as much as Dragon Ball Evolution. And yes that day is coming for Dragon Ball Evolution to get verbally destroyed.

The Machine: In four words most fascinating movie ever. It's like if Ridley Scott made a Blade Runner equivalent of Ghost in the Shell. Caity Lotz's performance is absolutely beautiful.

Guardians of the Galaxy: So let me list down how beautiful this film was.
1. The performance of the actors was great.
2. The action scenes were phenomenal.
3. The humor was solid gold perfect.
4. The characters were amazing.
5. Starlord is half-human apparently....interesting.
6. Ronan the Accuser is no Loki but still gets credit for being bat-shit evil.
7. Nebula is down right gorgeous....(love you Karen).
8. SPOILERS, Howard the Duck....not kidding.

Lucy: I had a hard time watching this film because SOMEBODY decided to take a nap in the theater. Seriously this person kept making hmmm sounds through the ENTIRE MOVIE. I was deeply concentrating on the movie trying to block out this noise. Almost didn't get the full enjoyment of Lucy. As for the movie it was good, enjoyable action scenes, Scarlett Johansson was amazing.

Snowpiercer: It's like taking one part Raid and one part Bioshock. And you end up with a deeply magnificent film.

Knights of Badassdom: As silly as it is at least this film makes more sense than let's say Jennifer's Body.

Edge of Tomorrow: Emily Blunt with a buster sword, that's a good enough reason to watch it.

Maleficent: Though I have some minor nicpicks the film is still worth watching. Especially if you want to see Angelina Jolie with wings and horns.

X-Men Days of Future Past: just two words.....absolutely astonishing.

Godzilla: I was a bit worry that it was gonna flop badly the way the first monster fight was done. But later everything got better and the fights were GLORIOUS! THIS FILM WAS FRAKING AWESOME!

Amazing Spider-Man 2: For a lack of a better word it was amazing. A lot of improvements were made from the last film, Spider-Man's witty humor was handled more fluidly. This film's attempt on (SPOILERS) Harry Osborn as Green Goblin is vastly better than Spider-Man 3 with that "Back To The Future" reject thing.

Under The Skin: This is by far Scarlett Johansson at her very best performance. Overall the film requires to be watched on a different mindset, but it's still pretty good.

Transcendence: I say it's been awhile since The Astronuat's Wife to see a Spooky Johnny Depp on screen. He's like a evil Tony Stark, kinda makes think that they pick the wrong guy to play Ultron. Just saying.

The Raid 2: My god it just keeps one upping the first one in borderline brutality it's freaking GLORIOUS!

Oculus: Liked it a lot, and Karen Gillan was amazing. But my only, minor complaint is the ending, NO SPOILERS all I can say is DAMN YOOOOOOOOOOU!

Captain America Winter Soldier: Man did shit got real (in a good way) and shit may get even more real when Avengers 2 come out. Also I'm curious to see how the events of this film affect Agents of SHEILD. My only (minor) disappointment was my theory of the character Alexander Pierce was ALL wrong, well played movie.

Robocop (2014): On its own merit it may not be the remake that no one asked for but it was a good attempt of modernizing it. Also in a few scenes has left me with this PG-13 MY ASS!
