Looking ahead to 2014

Muppets Most Wanted

As I finish up my viewing for 2013 I look ahead to 2014.  I’m sure there will be plenty of movies to entertain and thrill me during the year.  Here’s a quick look at half a dozen films, give or take, that excite me and some honorable mentions.

Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit

Loved The Hunt for Red October and others in the series and I look forward to Chris Pine of recent Star Trek fame taking on the world of espionage. 

The Monuments Men

I was disappointed that George Clooney’s latest directorial effort was pushed back a few months but am still eagerly awaiting the release of this WWII heist movie.

Muppets Most Wanted

Muppets. Enough said.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier/Guardians of the Galaxy

I enjoy Marvel flicks and the second half of phase two comes out next year before 2015’s Avengers sequel.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

The Amazing Spiderman 2

I loved how Andrew Garfield made this role his own and am excited to see the build up to the sinister 6 get underway.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

The movie I’m most looking forward to in the next year is the continuation of the Planet of the Apes prequels.  I am eager also to see what Gary Oldman brings to the franchise.

Interstellar

Christopher Nolan is an incredible filmmaker and he returns to the realm of science fiction (following 2010’s Inception) with an all star cast. I can not wait!

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Godzilla

300: Rise of an Empire

The Expendables 3

Sin City A Dame to Kill For

Hunger Games Mockingjay part 1
