January.
The Town (2010)



As he plans his next job, a longtime thief tries to balance his feelings for a bank manager connected to one of his earlier heists, as well as the FBI agent looking to bring him and his crew down.

Usually I like robbery stuff, but this movie is too long and too much parts are unnecessary. However, action scenes are well done.
Blade Runner (1982)



Deckard, a blade runner, has to track down and terminate 4 replicants who hijacked a ship in space and have returned to earth seeking their maker.

Disinterest.



A journalist is aided in his search for a woman who has been missing or dead for forty years by a young female hacker.




As computer hacker Lisbeth and journalist Mikael investigate a sex-trafficking ring, Lisbeth is accused of three murders, causing her to go on the run while Mikael works to clear her name.

Very slow at times, but interesting.



Lisbeth is recovering in a hospital and awaiting trial for three murders when she is released. Mikael must prove her innocence, but Lisbeth must be willing to share the details of her sordid experiences with the court.

This one is different from the others. It shows that nice and careful human beings are in this world too and we surprisingly love each of them. I had a lot of feels during the movie, from worst to best.
Big Fish (2003)



A son tries to learn more about his dying father by reliving stories and myths he told about his life.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. I like that movie. Stories are beautiful.
Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)



While a new foe who uses The Joker's old alias wreaks havoc among Gotham City's organized crime, Batman finds him disturbingly familiar.

Batman: Gotham Knight (2008)



Six short animated superhero films set in between the films Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. It depicts Batman battling against the mob of Gotham City, as well as other villains.

Stories 2 & 6 are really, really great and wonderful but story 1 is a terrible mess. Others are great.
Killing Them Softly (2012)



Jackie Cogan is an enforcer hired to restore order after three dumb guys rob a Mob protected card game, causing the local criminal economy to collapse.




With the help of a German bounty hunter, a freed slave sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner.

Something is missing in the story, but still excellent Tarantino. Christoph Waltz has all my love.
Lawless (2012)



Set in Depression-era Franklin County, Virginia, a bootlegging gang is threatened by a new deputy and other authorities who want a cut of their profits.

Uninteresting characters.
Justice League: Doom (2012)



Vandal Savage steals confidential files Batman has compiled on the members of the Justice League, and learns all their weaknesses.




A good version of Lex Luthor from a parallel Earth comes to the Justice League's dimension for help to fight their evil counterparts.




Tetraplegic forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme and a patrol cop, Amelia Donaghy, team up to solve a string of murders all connected to a serial killer by his signature: a single shard of bone is removed from each of the victims.

Wonder Woman (2009)



A modern man's trespass of the island of the Amazons enables an imprisoned war god to escape and Princess Diana wins the responsibility to recapture him.

Lincoln (2012)



As the Civil War continues to rage, America's president struggles with continuing carnage on the battlefield and as he fights with many inside his own cabinet on the decision to emancipate the slaves.

Outstanding human being. Great performance. But yet, the movie isn't that powerful.



A traveling theater company gives its audience much more than they were expecting.


February.



Two Los Angeles homicide detectives are dispatched to a northern town where the sun doesn't set to investigate the methodical murder of a local teen.


April.



When the evil spirit Pitch launches an assault on Earth, the Immortal Guardians team up to protect the innocence of children all around the world.

I was like a little girl. I loved it.



In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.

The useless-blonde was really useless, but I liked a lot Ma-Ma. I hated the slow-motion too. Still an interesting movie.
Seven Psychopaths (2012)



A struggling screenwriter inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends kidnap a gangster's beloved Shih Tzu.

I had huge expectations. And it's gone. The story doesn't work with me.

May.
Iron Man 3 (2013)



When Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution.

The movie is incredible, I loved it. I loved every part of it. I wasn't expecting something like this.
Gangster Squad (2013)



Los Angeles, 1949: A secret crew of police officers led by two determined sergeants work together in an effort to take down the ruthless mob king Mickey Cohen who runs the city.

Not very interesting, some stupid lines. Action scenes are entertaining. Ryan & Josh are great too.



A teenager with teleportation abilities must suddenly finds himself in the middle of an ancient war between those like him and their sworn annihilators.

I have to admit I liked Griffin much more than Race, mainly because Race is really stupid. The plot should be about the self-centred him & his girlfriend, not about Jumpers & Paladins.

June.
Jackie Brown (1997)



A female flight attendant becomes a key figure in a plot between the police and an arms dealer.




Mere seconds before the Earth is to be demolished by an alien construction crew, journeyman Arthur Dent is swept off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher penning a new edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

It was really not funny.
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)



After the crew of the Enterprise find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.




With their warning about Lord Voldemort's return scoffed at, Harry and Dumbledore are targeted by the Wizard authorities as an authoritarian bureaucrat slowly seizes power at Hogwarts.

One of my fave.



As Harry Potter begins his 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he discovers an old book marked mysteriously "This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince" and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort's dark past.




As Harry races against time and evil to destroy the Horcruxes, he uncovers the existence of three most powerful objects in the wizarding world: the Deathly Hallows.




Harry, Ron and Hermione search for Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes in their effort to destroy the Dark Lord.

The last one. The Battle of Hogwarts gave me a lot of feels, but I really wanted to see the other characters more, not only the 3 friends. The way Severus died was shocking for me: the blood, the sound of his body against the window. Nothing to do with the others who died under a spell.

July.



Hansel & Gretel are bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world. As the fabled Blood Moon approaches, the siblings encounter a new form of evil that might hold a secret to their past.




Disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack; using his inside knowledge, Banning works with national security to rescue the President from his kidnappers.

Average action movie I enjoyed. Geraaaard was hot.
Four Rooms (1995)



Four interlocking tales that take place in a fading hotel on New Year's Eve.

I liked the character of Ted. My favorite story was the third, with the kids. The other ones were average.
Redemption (2013)



Homeless and on the run from a military court martial, a damaged ex-special forces soldier navigating London's criminal underworld seizes an opportunity to assume another man's identity -- transforming into an avenging angel in the process.

Well, he tried.
The Wolverine (2013)



Summoned to Japan by an old acquaintance, Wolverine becomes embroiled in a conflict that forces him to confront his own demons.

I know the movie isn't perfect and probably have many flaws, but I don't care this much because I enjoyed it and it was really entertaining. I love Yukio, they turned her into a beautiful and strong character.
+ Can we just take a second to appreciate Hugh's body.

August.
Pacific Rim (2013)



As a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are paired up to drive a seemingly obsolete special weapon in a desperate effort to save the world from the apocalypse.

I liked that movie. It was really entertaining and impressive. Sure there's not a big and complex and mind-fucking plot, but who cares it was amazing to watch. I still can't imagine how much the ' Jaegers ' are big.
Epic (2013)



A teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil is taking place. She bands together with a rag-tag group characters in order to save their world -- and ours.

Some of the characters are annoying, I don't like really like the main plot. But the graphics are beautiful.



An alteration of the timeline for the superhero, The Flash, creates ripples that disastrously alters the Universe. The Flash must team with other heroes to restore the timeline while the Earth is ravaged by a war between Aquaman's Atlantis and Wonder Woman's Amazons.




A veteran assigned to extract Earth's remaining resources begins to question what he knows about his mission and himself.

The Fall (2006)



In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastic story of five mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality blurs as the tale advances.

We are talking a lot about Lee but Catinca, the little girl, is stunning too. Everything in that movie is stunning, every character and every place.
Velvet Goldmine (1998)



In 1984, British newspaper reporter Arthur Stuart is investigating the career of 1970s glam rock star Brian Slade, who was heavily influenced in his early years by American rock singer Curt Wild, whose show was quite crazy for his time.

I discovered Jonathan Rhys Meyers in that movie, he was so great, so attractive. I loved Ewan as well.

September.
World War Z (2013)



United Nations employee Gerry Lane travels the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to destroy humanity itself.

Now You See Me (2013)



An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money.


November.
Thor: The Dark World (2013)



Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.


December.



When Keller Dover's daughter and her friend go missing, he takes matters into his own hands as the police pursue multiple leads and the pressure mounts. But just how far will this desperate father go to protect his family?

Great performances, disturbing movie. It was stunning.
Gravity (2013)



A medical engineer and an astronaut work together to survive after an accident leaves them adrift in space.




The continuing adventures of Katniss Everdeen, which take place in a futuristic dystopian world, as she prepares for the Quarter Quell.

The Iceman (2012)



The true story of Richard Kuklinski, the notorious contract killer and family man. When finally arrested in 1986, neither his wife nor daughters have any clue about his real profession.

Michael Shannon is an incredible actor, I'd like to see more characters like this one. It was also a surprise to see Chris Evans in that kind of role. Very interesting movie.
Sadly I didn't found the time to do it. I'll add only the good ones for the last months.
