Finally 2014 is OVER. It was a disappointing year in so many ways, and the A&E sphere was no exception. My *once* favorite show ONCE Upon a Time completely flushed itself down the toilet, and I found very little solace in movie houses throughout the year. To top it off, there wasn’t even a Pixar film this summer. But amidst the dissatisfaction I was able to uncover some real gems. Some expected, and some surprises, but the ones that inspired me REALLY inspired me.
I realize I am very behind on film analysis, I am kind of overwhelmed with the choices of films I would like to write about, but offhand Locke, Into the Woods, Calvary and Interstellar are the meatiest in regard to symbolism and theme. I hope I can do a piece on each of them soon.

My Top Ten…
1. Interstellar
2. Guardians of the Galaxy
3. The Lego Movie
4. Noah
6. The Hunger Games Mockingjay

I would like to give some credit to the composers who scored the films this year. There were some awe-inspiring ones for sure. Interstellar, Noah, The Theory of Everything, Maleficent, The Hobbit, and even though the movie was a bomb I, Frankenstein had a spectacular score. It was a great year for music in film.
Anyway, what did you guys think of this past year? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
