Hmm. I bought Divergent but haven't watched it yet. I watched Need for Speed yesterday instead which was actually pretty cool and had some great race sequences. I'm not real critical of movies and enjoy most unlike the majority of people on the internet. I just like to be entertained.
Maybe you'll like it then...I'm pretty critical of movies.
What recent movies would you say are good? What are your favorites?
Recent, like in 2014? That would save me some time if I limit it to 2014...
I would say I enjoyed "The Grand Budapest Hotel" the most this year (I saw it in the theatres and own the Blu-Ray).
My 2014 list of good recent movies would be something like (no particular order):
- "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
- "Edge of Tomorrow" (I was not anticipating this flick last year, but it ended up being most excellent)
- "X-Men: Days of Future Past"
- "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier"
- "Boyhood"
- "Chef"
- "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"
- "Guardians of the Galaxy"
- "22 Jump Street"
While I might not own these movies in the future (I'm still on the fence), I did get some enjoyment out of "Under The Skin, Lone Survivor, Noah, Hercules, The Double, Calvary, Snowpiercer, Lucy, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Bad Words, Sex Tape, and The Lego Movie".
There are still movies I have high hopes for like:
Nolan's "Interstellar" coming this November,
Rodriguez' "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For",
Bay's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (Only for the Turtles, not Bay...I suspect it's going to be horrid),
"Starred Up",
"The Expendables 3",
Jackson's "Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies",
Scott's "Exodus: Gods and Kings",
and "Blue Ruin" all 2014 movies I have yet to see but on the list. Some released now and others are still incoming.

This list was extremely limited to 2014 flicks I saw this year. I saw A LOT MORE than I posted, but I only wanted to post movies that I thought were worth a mention. Hopefully this helps you get an idea on where my tastes lie. If I had to choose one movie I enjoyed the most this year, it would be The Grand Budapest Hotel...so far.
I see a lot of movies, but some are just forgettable movies I toss away like "300: Rise part 2, The Legend of Hercules, Transformers, Robocop, Jack Ryan Shadow, Need for Speed, Hunger Games 2, Enemy, Transcendence", etc.
Last year saw some good titles, like the surprising "JOE", "Her", "12 Years a Slave", "Wolf of Wallstreet", "Star Trek Into Darkness", "Gravity", "Frozen", "This is the End", "American Hustle", and while I liked "Thor 2" and "Iron-man 3", I came away a little less impressed with those two but still make the 2013 list.
