Long time no see
my lovelies, sorry about that. Good thing I never gave myself a
schedule I guess, but I will try to be better but with dissertation
work keeping me busy as well, I can't make any promises.
So today I
wanted to bring you my favourite films of 2014, just out of the ones
that I've seen, as there are still some I didn't get round to seeing.
Feels like I've
seen so many films this year which made it a hard decision to pick a
few but I narrowed down my list of favourites to just six.
I can't put them
in an order of best to worst as it was hard enough to choose the ones
I enjoyed the most out all those that I had seen this year. So
firstly there's The Fault in Our Stars. When I read the book I knew
instantly that I would enjoy the film but just as as I cried my eyes
out simply reading the book, I also cried like a baby when watching
the film. Its just one of those stories that really gets to you and
if it doesn't make you cry then what is wrong with you?! Although it
is a sweet love story, its also incredibly sad for the obvious
reasons if you know what its about. But none the less, I loved it and
will continue to do so.
Guardians of the
Galaxy is next and this film was just brilliant, with an awesome
soundtrack to go with it. Its hard not to enjoy a Marvel film,
especially when they include characters such as Rocket and Groot, and
when the cast includes actors such as Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel and
Michael Rooker. If you're also a Walking Dead fan then just imagine
Michael Rooker playing space Merle basically. I'd be surprised if
many of you hadn't seen it by now, and if not then why? Get it now!
Of course The
Lego Movie had to be included somewhere, everyone loves it, right?
Well I hope so, and I know I sure did. Its just a crazy mix of all
sorts basically with the likes of Batman, Gandalf, and Han Solo
included. Emmet, an every day ordinary construction worker has to
join forces with Wyldstyle and Batman to stop Lord Business. Its one
of those films that's great for everyone no matter what age you are.
Following
Catching Fire came Mocking Jay (part 1), and it didn't let me down.
Although it seems to be more of an action/adventure film targetted at
teens, it still is great for anyone to watch, obviously especially if
you are a Hunger Games fan. Katniss becomes a leader figure for the
nation as she tries to save Peeta from the capital after the
quarterquell. This film is another with a great soundtrack, and you
always know its great when one of the main songs makes it into the
top 40. Loved it!
For any Game of
Thrones fans, or Jon Snow fans, you need to see Pompeii. Kit
Harrington, just wow! This film doesn't try to make out that what
happened to Pompeii was okay or that it was just one of those things
that happens because mother nature is a bitch. Along with its love
story it tells the story of how the city was destroyed once Mount
Vesuvius erupted, taking over the city and ruining everything in its
path. Kit Harrington does a brilliant job as the former slave now
gladiator, and personally I don't think anyone could've played the
role better.
Now although I
have only just recently seen this next film, it came out in 2014 and
I did really want to see it, so I'm including it as one of my
favourites of 2014. It is of course The Hobbit: The Battle of Five
Armies. Even though there are times when you sit there thinking they
could've made this film shorter by cutting out unnecessary shots, it
is still a good film. I've loved all The Hobbit films, along with all
Lord of The Ring films, and I did think this was a good way to
conclude the story of Bilbo's travels before returning to the Shire.
There were funny moments, happy moments and sad moments, mixed in
with the action of the battle and I personally will never get bored
of these films. I just love those hobbits and dwarves.
Now that is the
end of my favourites for 2014 but there are still films that I wish I
saw. I never got the opportunity to see The Imitation Game starring
Benedict Cumberbatch or Night Crawler with Jake Gyllenhaal. Also
because I have a thing about army movies I would've liked to have
seen Fury, although I did hear mixed reactions about that film, but
you can never have an opinion until you've seen it so it might be one
to look out for on DVD, or sites such as Netflix in the future.
As 2014 has
passed, its time to look forward to those films coming out in 2015.
I've looked into the upcoming films and do have a couple I am looking
forward to, if I find the time for them. Firstly, Pitch Perfect 2. I
loved the first one, and the trailer for the second looks just as
good.
I have to admit
I'm one of those people that has read all of the Fifty Shades of Grey
books so as much as people might not like the idea of the film, I am
actually one of those people that does want to see it. Sorry, not
sorry.
Johnny Depp
stars in a new film this year called Mortdecai which is also on my
list to watch, of course. If you can resist a Johnny Depp film then
what's wrong with you, he's amazing!
I hope you all
had a great 2014 and have an even better 2015! Also if you've made
resolutions what are they? Hope you can stick to them.
So what were
your favourite films of 2014?
Goodbye for now
you lovely lot, and until next time, thanks for reading :) x
