My 10 Favourite Moments from 2014 Movies

Okay, so I know we're already into February 2015 and 2014 movies are something of the past but since I have spent my time on this list, I thought why not just released it anyway. I might be stretching this just a tiny bit but if you could just bare with me for just one more post regarding 2014 movies, I would be very grateful.

So here goes, my simple list of 10 favourite moments from 2014 movies that I've watched in no particular order.

Oh, I almost forgot! Before that, let me remind you that since these moments/scenes are directly dig into the plot of the movies, so there will be spoilers all over this list. If you want to avoid spoilers for any of 2014 movies that you haven't watch, please considered yourself warned!

Now let's begin. :-)

What to watch? ~ 2015 movies: February

Welcome to the first edition of "What to watch" for 2015! I'm going to continue doing this monthly post of my most anticipated movies just like I did last year. 2015 is expected to be a good year for Hollywood as a lot of highly anticipated movies are coming our way, some which are from well-known and loved franchises by audiences. So which movies I'm most looking forward to in February?

Oh, and before that, I apologize for the late post since it's already more than a week into February.

Side note: The release date for most (if not all) of these movies that I'm going to list are going to follow the release date for United States. The same goes for all the other movies in upcoming "What to watch" posts for the rest of 2015.


1) Jupiter Ascending


This movie was supposed to be released in 2014, but it was delayed to this year. I was disappointed when I learned that news before because I love this type of epic sci-fi movie and I really want to watch this. The trailers look absolutely beautiful with cool special effects, and it seemed to have quite a nice story too. I didn't expect to see Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis (two main protagonists for this movie) in a science fiction movie though so I was kind of surprised at first, but after watching the trailers, I'm convinced that I will love their characters. The Wachowskis duo (the directors of this movie) impressed me with Cloud Atlas before (which topped my Top 10 favourite movies of 2013) so I hope they will impressed me again with this offering. Also starring Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Tuppence Middleton, Douglas Booth, Nikki Amuka-Bird and Doona Bae, Jupiter Ascending had opened in cinemas on Feb. 6, 2015.


2) Shaun the Sheep Movie


My niece adored Shaun the Sheep stop-motion animated TV series, and since I accompanied her a lot, I grew to love the TV show as well. It was a fun show to watch and since I love the TV show, I might enjoy the movie version of it as well, right? I'm not sure if it will be in a more grand scale compared to its TV counterpart (I don't see any much different from the movie trailers except for the different settings) but if it has the same warmth and joy that the TV show has, then I'm sure I will have a good time in the cinema. The movie already had a good start, it received critical acclaim with a lot of critics gave it positive reviews. Directed by Richard Starzak and Mark Burton, the movie had been released in United Kingdom on Feb. 6, 2015.

Seventh Son ~ review

Seventh Son is a fantasy movie based on the book, The Spook's Apprentice, by Joseph Delaney. Starred Ben Barnes, Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Olivia Williams and Djimon Hounsou, this Sergei Bodrov-directed film is another attempt by movie studios to make a movie franchise out of a book series. I'm assuming here, of course, since The Spook's Apprentice is the first book in the The Wardstone Chronicles series, which so far already has more than 10 books, the studio might want to consider a continuity in the movie as well, right? If everything goes well, then I bet they would make a sequel or two out of it. But is this movie even good enough to warrant a sequel?


Before we go any further, let me warn you that this review might have few spoilers. I would try my best to avoid major spoilers regarding the plot but if you consider even the slightest hint on the plot, characters or anything at all to be spoilers, then I would suggest you leave this post and read another one. You've been warned! For those who wish to continue with my review, you may proceed. ;-)
