Top movies of 2014

Howzit, my first blog of 2015 will be my top ten films of 2014. While I wasn't able to see every movie, I enjoyed these 10 movies the most.

10. Oculus - My favorite horror movie of the year. It was original and clever, it wasn't just about the scares, it made you think. Horror movies rarely make the list but I was talking it up the day after to co workers and friends. A rarity in my opinion.

9. Captain America : The Winter Soldier - I wasn't a huge fan of the first, but Marvel keeps getting better and better with each passing film and this was no exception. Had the right amount of action, comedy and story.

8. The Lego Movie - A big family friendly movie makes the list as I was blown away how much I liked it. While it was directed towards the kids, the amount of jokes for adults were by far the best part. A pleasant surprise to say the least.

7. Edge of Tomorrow - The first Tom Cruise movie I enjoyed in a few years and it makes it at 7. It had the right mix of action and comedy, with the perfect amount of repetition every time he wakes up back at the beginning.

6. X-Men : Days of Future Past - Mixing the series was brilliant. They chose to focus on the big stars Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Lawrence and they didn't disappoint. Best X-Men movie yet.

5. 22 Jump Street - Might be one of the best sequels I've ever seen. Hill and Tatum have perfect chemistry with each line more funny than the next. I wouldn't be opposed to another jump street.

4. Gone Girl - Didn't read the book, didn't matter. With Fincher behind the camera this had my attention from beginning to end. Acting was fantastic and I loved the score.

3. Interstellar - It was no Inception, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Nolan is a mastermind of film and everything he does I love.

2. Guardians of the Galaxy - Didn't know what to expect with this Marvel movie but it is my favorite Marvel movie to this day. Chris Pratt was cast perfectly and the comedy is delivered with such ease.

1. The Raid 2 - Might not be on anyone else's list but this was my favorite of 2014. The fight sequences in this movie are the best I've seen on screen. The story also kept me interested while waiting for the fights. I loved every minute of it and hope to see more of this type of martial arts in film.
