Robocop (2014)
Well, this went better than expected. In fact, it is a pretty decent PG-13 remake of an R-rated movie!
Hey Ram (2000)
Kamal Haasan’s outstanding somewhat-political religious epic of a man’s journey through friendship, love, hatred, revenge and redemption set around India’s Partition and the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.
Wolf of Wall Street, The
Martin Scorsese’s black comedy adaptation of Jordan Belfort’s biography is currently my favorite film of the decade in spite of its content and multiple amusing (yet fucked up) douchetastic moments.
Her (2013)
The premise of a man falling in love with his Operating System is something that sounds most likely creepy and weird, but under Spike Jonze’s command and his cast, Her is a very heartfelt film that is shockingly sweet, delightful and even touching film.
Captain Phillips
It’s the stellar acting from the debuting Barkhad Abdi and the veteran Tom Hanks that makes Captain Phillips engaging to watch
Olympus Has Fallen
Olympus Has Fallen is pretty much an action flick of the ‘Murrica! type as well as being a Gerard Butler vehicle.
To-Do List, The
Maggie Carey’s first film may not have made the splash it should have, but it’s definitely a refreshing comedy made by a woman who gets sex.
Wind Rises, The (Japanese Animation)
As much as Miyazaki likes to trail off into the land of dreams, The Wind Rises is a biopic through and through.
Family, The (2013)
An ex-mob guy who’s ratted out against his former family is now under the witness protection program alongside his pyromaniac wife, his slightly sociopath daughter, and con-artist of a son move to small town Normandy (France).
