Title: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Director: James Gunn Runtime: 121 minutes — I honestly know next to nothing about this portion of the Marvel comic universe. I’m more into X-Men and have a vague idea about the Avengers and Spider-Man. I have seen them head off and deal with different space issues before, but…

Title: Wish I Was Here (2014) Director: Zach Braff Runtime: 106 minutes — I never liked Garden State, Zach Braff’s first turn as a writer/director/star, and I didn’t enjoy Scrubs. Frankly, I thought going to Kickstarter for this film was a shame because, let’s face it, if it was good, Hollywood would have eaten it…

Title: Begin Again (2014) Director: John Carney Runtime: 104 minutes — Once is one of my favorite movie musicals. It’s perfectly acted and filled with excellent music.

Title: Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) Director: Michael Bay Runtime: 165 minutes — Let’s get this right out of the way: if you haven’t liked any of the Transformers films from Michael Bay, you are not going to like this one either. I’ll add to that by saying this is probably the most “Bay-like” of…

Title: Earth to Echo (2014) Director: Dave Green Runtime: 91 minutes — In 1982, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was released upon the world and it captured an entire generation of moviegoers. E.T. still stands strong in my top ten films of all time. Since then, a few films have been released in the hope of capturing…

Title: How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) Director: Dean DeBlois Runtime: 102 minutes — It’s hard to find a good animated film these days. Yes, we get the likes of Frozen, and the latest Pixar offering, but those films offer the tried and true tropes that families expect. In 2010, the world met Hiccup…
