Its half way through 2014, and I have watched many movies this year. Below is a list of the movies that are actually worth seeing in theaters and others at home.

——————————————————————————————

I love movies and 2014 seems to be the year for great film making moments. There are many 2014 films which I will certainly look forward to, including: 300: Rise of An Empire, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, X-Men Days of Future,Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Transformers 4: Age of Extinction etc. Plus other movie sequels like  22 Jump Street, Night at the Museum 3 and The Expendables 2.

A few films which were remade are also on the roster including Pinocchio, Annie, Robocop, and Godzilla. I will be salivating and waiting impatiently for these great films to grace both the big screen and my computer sccreen.

Here is a wiki list of 2014 Movies and Summer Blockbusters which will be coming to you, in 2014 and are really worth watching.
