What to watch? ~ 2014 movies: June

May was quite a blast with Spidey, Godzilla, X-Men and Maleficent each had ruled the box-office. But some of them got a little bit of negative feedback from critics and audiences alike despite having quite respectable box-office numbers. But summer movies season still continue on and it's business as usual at the cinemas. So which movies that will be released in June that had caught my interest? Scroll down to find out and who knows, they might catch your interest too.

1. Edge of Tomorrow


I like it when Tom Cruise starred in a science fiction movie; Minority Report, War of the Worlds and last year's Oblivion. For 2014, Tom Cruise will star yet again in another science fiction movie called Edge of Tomorrow, a movie based off the Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by author Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Starring opposite him will be Emily Blunt and it is directed by Doug Liman who had also directed The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Jumper before. I'm looking forward to this movie and hopefully it will be as good as I expected it to be. Edge of Tomorrow had already been released in certain territories (including Malaysia) but it will only be released in the US on June 6, 2014.


2. How to Train Your Dragon 2


It was 4 years ago when the first movie came out and I feel the studio took a little bit too much time to come out with a sequel. Nevertheless, here it is with the same voice casts they have for the first movie; Jay Baruchel, Gerald Butler, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Craig Ferguson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T. J. Miller and Kristen Wiig. Also joining them voicing new characters in the movie are Cate Blanchett, Djimon Hounsou and Kit Harington. Taking place 5 years after the event of the first movie, the sequel will follow Hiccup in another journey with his cute-but-quite-deadly dragon, Toothless, as they travel far and away, exploring new territories and finding new types of dragons, and caught in between another conflict among men and dragons. The second movie in a planned trilogy, How to Train Your Dragon 2 will be released in cinemas on June 13, 2014.
