The Other Woman (2014)

Was okay. But also a bit too long. Leslie Mann's character is a little too irritating.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

Not too bad. Think comic fans will get more out of it. Felt a bit long (but I didn't fall asleep). Quicksilver was really cool and it's a shame he wasn't in more scenes. IMHO, his bit is as memorable as the Nightcrawler one in X2.

Bad Neighbours (2014)

The premise didn't excite me. Was going to give this a pass after watching the trailer. But generally positive reviews from others made me decide to check it out. Pacing was fine and there were a few nice surprises, including a likeable baby, strong comic talents, Batman, A&F, dildos and a crazy fight scene.

Godzilla (2014)

Struggled to stay awake and finally succumbed and missed the big battle at the end. Sigh...

Filial Party - 我是孝子 (2014)

Christopher Lee is not bad in this one. Story could have been much better. The other two contesting families feel undeveloped, unnecessary and unengaging. Ying Ying's character is a running gag, but I do like her and another of the female production crew characters with the fake Chinese accent.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

Was a bit long and I kinda struggled to stay awake at the beginning. The Parker parents bit seems like extra fat that could have been trimmed. Overall, was ok but not great. Could have done without watching this in IMAX 3D. Some of the images were blurry, or was it just me?
