Cuban Fury
Though Cuban Fury could work as a story of someone who finds themselves after being shamed and bullied out of what they love to do, it never becomes enjoyable nor engaging enough to salsa its way into our hearts.
Edge of Tomorrow
Despite his lack of experience on the ground, Major William Cage is recruited against his will to form part of a team that will be ambushed and slaughtered time and time again as Cage gains the ability to reset and relive the day.
Mudo, El (Peruvian Film)
During a drive home, a righteous ex-judge is hit by a bullet that renders him mute, leaving him obsessing over who is trying to kill him.
Dedh Ishqiya
Though Chaubey and Bhardwaj’s second installment in the Ishqiya series follows thief duo Khalu and his nephew Babban in yet another con job gone wrong, it is the ladies and their story that sets the film apart.
Godzilla (2014)
2014’s Godzilla is definitely better and more interesting to watch than its 1998 film adaptation. But I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news: this latest entry in the Godzilla franchise wasn’t all that great to me thanks to some things that frustrated my viewing.
Maleficent
It really couldn’t be more perfect than the biggest movie star in the world playing one of the most fascinating Disney baddies in fairy tale history with much more zing, and added Angelina Jolie pizzazz.
Enough Said
Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ stellar performance and great chemistry with James Gandolfini should have made her an Academy Award nominee along with Gandolfini, but either voters forgot about them or maybe there’s a stigma against tv-made actors. Either way, Enough Said is easily one of the best films of 2013.
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Despite Fox and Singer saying this movie was a way to unite all the X-Men movies, it’s very clear X-Men: Days of Future Past wants us to forget X-Men: The Last Stand or X-Men Origins: Wolverine ever happened.
