Gattaca (1997)

Saw Gattaca (1997) for the first time. What an incredible movie! Smart and profound... capable of making a big testament to the core of the human spirit and soul. Nothing is impossible!

Best of 2014 - From my perspective

As per usual, here's my "Best of" the year that has passed... 

Unfortunately I won't compile a list of "Best albums" since I wasn't able to listen to that many throughout 2014. Can't really justify why... I guess I ended up getting my hands on older albums - which obviously wouldn't serve the purpose of this list.

In regards to the film list, there are going to be a lot of great absences, some of which I haven't seen yet (Birdman, St. Vincent, Selma, Still Alice...). Nonetheless, I can honestly say that this year has been really strong. 

With that said, here's my "Top 10 films" of 2014:

Whiplash

Gone Girl

Boyhood

The Grand Budapest Hotel

X-Men: Days of Past Future

The Raid 2

Skeleton Twins

Foxcatcher

Dawn of The Planet of The Apes

The Imitation Game

Some good movies that didn't make the cut this year include Cold July, Chef, Edge of Tomorrow, 22 Jump Street (my guilty pleasure) and Interstellar. 

The latter needs a second watching. I found it tremendously overcomplicated and very silly at times, but there is a lot in it that can (and should) make this film a classic. Maybe I'll change my mind about it...

There you have it. As I said, 2014 was really strong when it comes to movies...and there's plenty more that need to be watched. Feel free to comment on these picks and share your own. 

Have a wonderful 2015!
