Dearest - 亲爱的 (2014)

An emotional gut wrencher. Not too bad.

A Fantastic Ghost Wedding - 非常婚事 (2014)

Not too bad. Sandra, the kid and the score were the standouts. But there were also some bits that didn't ring true.

Big Hero 6 (2014)

Not bad.

FEAST, the short that preceded this was just ok.

Interstellar (2014)

Watched on IMAX. Would recommend watching in this format. McConaughey and Chastain were both great. Visuals and sound design were great. Probably one of the strongest mainstream narrative films this year.

Viewing experience was however less than stellar (I got really worked up about a couple sitting beside me who talked during the film).

Lost in Paradise (2011)

Heavy melodrama with some strong performances, especially Hieu Hen, who plays a mentally handicapped man in the film.

Fury (2014)

Good film. I did struggle to stay awake near the beginning, but I did have a tiring week. Think that if the focus was less on Pitt's character, it may have been a stronger film. Pitt does gives a strong performance though, as does most of the rest of the cast.
