Great Expectations: May 2014

 

May is undoubtedly going to be the best movie month of the summer, and I can't wait to see what's in store! Of course, whichever month contains X-Men Days of Future Past is sure to top my list for 2014. I cannot wait for that freakin movie! The X-Men are my favorites, for sure. I mean, I like what Disney has going with Marvel, and Batman is my favorite superhero (singular), but the X-Men are just so cool! Just think how good they could be if Wolverine wasn't holding the entire franchise back! You are getting a lot of exclamation marks from me today!!!

 

The only thing that might be a problem with the new X-Men film is the fact that Ellen Paige has come out of the closet. She is one of the cutest people ever created, and I will surely be saddened by the fact that she can never be mine (although I'm happy with my fiancé and all).

 

Here's a look at what you should check out at your theater in May...

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Summer Preview: 2014

The summer movie season is fast approaching, and, as always, I'll be covering the biggest blockbusters of 2014, all summer long! Just so you know, I consider summer films to be any films released from May to August. Sure, some films don't have that big, summer-movie feel, but, regardless of what movie you are watching, if you sweat after leaving the theater, it's summertime. So, take a look at my lists of expectations, below, which include my expectations for films' financial success and my expectations for films entertainment success. The films are in no specific order, with regard to their respective categories. Let me know if I left off one that you are really looking forward to! Enjoy the summer of 2014!!!
