YAM’s Top Films of 2014

yammag-top-films-2014

The YAM Magazine team got together for our annual movie discussion. Tusks were out, discussions on distribution dates were put on the table, and some hard lobbying was done to put our favorites forward to battle it out. As a result, though local movie distribution is still king, we have some very awesome titles sprinkled here and there for everyone’s taste.

As a tradition, do look forward to our Top Films of 2014 Redux later in 2015.

These are some of the titles that could have made it into our list~

  1. Glad to see Haider made the top 10! I’m still not sure how I feel about some things towards the last act, but there were so many powerful scenes!

      I’m ecstatic! I actually like the last act enough, I wish I had a better build up of Haider and see more of his relationship with his parents, especially with his father to make me believe his bond could be strong enough to trump his mother’s. Except for Ghazala, everyone sorta feels like a check-up list of characters. Think I’m gonna prioritize that review xD
