8. Godzilla

Every generation must have it’s own take on the rampaging mega-dinosaur for it’s history books-that’s just the law. And, as with the Breaking Bad rule I outlined above, this one has piqued particular interest because it features a turn from Bryan Cranston as a concerned scientist trying to fight the villain of the title. While it doesn’t pretend to be high art, there’s something extremely tempting about this blockbuster- which, from the trailers, looks like it features some Pacific-Rim-esque fight sequences and a whole lot of Godzilla rampaging across the Atlantic- as well as a turn from Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson. I can’t find one thing not to like so far.

    Snowpiercer should be on this list

    A million ways to die is a must see? It’s a MUST FLUSH…. it has got to be the worst movie that I unfortunately paid money to see. There is funny and then there is stupid…this movie spends most of it’s time in the latter.

      Shouldn’t that be A Million Ways To Die? Or are you trying to be shallow like the 10 listed?

  • Thijs Uitenbosch

    Once I saw ‘Transcendence’ was on this list I stopped taking it serious.

  • maxiemom

    “Chef” should be on this list as well as “Edge of Tomorrow”, Those are only the tip of the iceberg. And “Godzilla”? I like Godzilla in my Godzilla movies!

  • RecoveringLiberal

    I never watch television so this list is irrelevant. Isn’t Twin Peaks about the life of Katy Perry?

    I saw a few of these flicks and enjoyed them, and a few more that I suspect I’d like, but these things are always so subjective as to be virtually meaningless. The one thing that I learned from this list is that the author is a big fan of sci-fi. OK. Me too. But I’d prefer to see one of three thing here: (1) the author prominently noted, perhaps even in the title, to wit, “Fred Mertz’s most anticipated films of 2014. (2) rather than compile an idiosyncratic list that represents the combined wisdom of one single dude, create a list that is broadly representative of the views of at least 5 or 6 respected critics. (3) a simple survey of ordinary people.

    Go see “Gone Girl”. It is easily the best movie I have seen in 2014. A must see. Ben Affleck (did not direct) However, after “The Town” and “Argo”, he is on a roll.

    There and back again was horrible, sacrificing the book’s original themes, story, and characters to promote a Mary Sue who defies both canon and common sense.

  • ospreycbk

    Jupiter Ascending I might go and see in the theater when it comes out(no guarantee though)the rest I will wait and get from Redbox or Netflix.

    No Captain America: The Winter soldier? It was probably the best of the Marvel films so far

    One must watch Under the Skin all the way through, the end actually pulls the entire thing together and is a satisfying resolution, and a fantastic visual shocker! Folks walked out of the viewing I went to, it’s not for the general populous but for adventurous film goers. Also Mike Leigh’s film Mr. Turner, about the famous British painter, will be out soon to qualify for Oscar contention, at least in the US, and will no doubt pick up some noms. It’s a genius, truthful, and unforgiving portrayal of the man done with brilliant acting and pacing, and incredible cinematography.

    I couldn’t finish watching under the skin. Horrible movie

  • RecoveringLiberal

    You forgot your caps. From the way you wrote, it looks like you’re saying you got inside your skin. Try to stick to the American way of writing.

  • Mandy Johnson

    Agreed. I watched it all, but it was hard.

  • Twoolf

    Agreed. Eliminating the long drawn out “artsy” scenes would have shortened the movie by half. Poor plot, poorly produced. Just an overall really bad film.
