2014 is almost on the end and we had some really great movie
this year, also there were disappointments but overall, I enjoyed the movies
this year. We have formulated a list of 10 Hollywood Movies for 2014 which you
should watch. We tried to be eclectic and choose from various genres including
action, sci-fi, animation, drama etc. The numbering does not depict the ranking
of the movies; I was too lazy to rank them anyway. We might have missed a few,
feel free to add them at your will in the comments box. Indulge now.
1.
Interstellar
2.
Gone Girl
Affleck plays Nick Dunne, the husband; Pike plays Amy
Elliott-Dunne, the wife; and the fate of her pretty head—along with the rest of
her—is the central mystery of David Fincher’s faithful, intriguing adaptation
of Gillian Flynn’s gazillion-selling novel. Gone Girl is
a terrific movie, everything the book and its fans deserve. And what it
deserves
in return is the chance to surprise anyone who didn't read Flynn's book. Pass
the popcorn; hold the drinks, you need to watch this flick.
3.
Fury
Fury is a fictional account of an American tank crew
fighting in Germany in April of 1945, is one of the Great War
movies. The movie presents an argument between
civilization and barbarism, between the pleasure principle and the death
instinct. But the filmmakers mostly avoid high-flown rhetoric in favor of the
intensely practical give-and-take of negotiation. It is a good one time
watch, David Ayer has directed some good scenes in
the movie and the overall setting of movie should not disappoint you.
4.
The Hobbit:
Battle of the Five armies
Not yet released and we are waiting for it eagerly, when it
releases on 17 Dec, 2014. I have watched the earlier Hobbit and Lord of the
Rings movies and I only hope this Peter Jackson flick does some justice with
its earlier versions.
5.
The Imitation
Game
Turing (magnificently played
with myriad moods and personality shifts by Benedict Cumberbatch) was a moody,
introverted 27-year-old mathematical prodigy at Cambridge, where his impressive
work led the government to draft him into heading a group of fellow misfits in
a top-secret organization of cryptologists assigned the task of decoding the
German strategy communications—a job made doubly impossible because the codes
were changed daily to confuse the Allied forces. It’s a movie with a gripping
pace as Turing and his crew race against time in the shadow of Hitler’s bombs.
Intensely powerful, The Imitation Game turns one of the most important stories of the
last century into one of the greatest movies of 2014.
6.
The Hunger
Games Mocking jay Part 1
It's also a pretty good
yarn, told with a great deal of energy, packed with actors who are doing
everything they can to sell what is, at this point, fairly familiar material.
There are a lot of dystopias these days, and with all of this serious-faced
scowling about the end of the world, the only way for one of these things to
stand out is to do it on a human level, and that's where the "Hunger
Games" series has managed to succeed from the first film to now. The film ends at a particularly ugly moment, but it's a good
emotional cliffhanger. I feel like they're close to getting this series right,
and how "Mockingjay Part 2" lands its punch is going to determine how
people remember the series as a whole.
7.
Exodus:
Gods and Kings
8. The Fault in our Stars
The many avid fans of John Green’s novel know this is a
tearjerker with more than a few twists, some slaps in the face of conventional
storytelling and a poetic but realistic take on the glory and the unfairness of
life. If you have not seen it yet, Go find a DVD somewhere. With a
running time just over two hours, “The Fault in Our Stars” might have been even
more effective with just a little judicious trimming. Led by the unforgettable
work from a young actress who’s among the best of her generation, “The Fault in
Our Stars” is a lovely work.9. How to Train your dragon 2
DreamWorks Animation returns to the world of dragons and
Vikings in this sequel to their successful 2010 outing ‘How to Train Your
Dragon’ but How to Train Your Dragon 2 lapses into cliché, as
in its numerous bids for show-stopping. More than just teaching kids what to
think about the world they’re coming into, it’s a rare film that encourages
them to think for themselves. It is just OK animation considering today’s
standards, but all said, it’s worth watching at least once and little ones
shall dig the appearance of the characters, mainly dragons.
10. The Amazing SpiderMan-II
I wanted to choose Noah in its place but decided to keep it.
Nice sequel to the earlier movie but fails to grip the audience as wholesome
plot. Director Marc Webb puts some great action and cinematography to hold his
end of bargain also the story line matches a lot to the actual Marvel comic’s
design of Spiderman. All in all, this movie feels like a step in the right
direction for the rebooted Spider-Man franchise – hopefully leading to better
installments in the future – and thus, makes for a pretty good start to
the summer movie season.
