Dap cánh giua không trung (or) Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere (Vietnamese, 2014)
A slow realistic drama with engaging performances - and interestingly etched characters.
Das finstere Tal (or) The Dark Valley (German, 2014)
A spaghetti western shootout with little-to-no story that is watchable primarily because of the exquisite camera work. In spite of being ultra-slow at the start, the film builds up the pace as it moves towards the end.
Pisaasu (or) Pissasu Movie Review (Tamil, 2014)
Pisaasu is neither the typical horror film that gives you some cheap thrills nor is it a classic horror film that gives your spine a few chills, but it is a heart-warming, emotional take on Ghosts that takes its time & packs a punch with its masterful writing that unravels to a wonderful finish.
The Lego Movie (English, 2014)
An ambitious effort at personifying the Lego world with all humane emotions, which succeeds largely despite falling short on a few occasions.
Nerungi Vaa Muthamidathe (Tamil, 2014)
Nerungi Vaa Muthamidathe, despite the minor chinks in its armour, comes out as a movie made with enthusiasm from a director who has tried to bring in some hard hitting truth and a blend of myriad mini plots strung together that manages to keep the audience gripped and guessing.
The Babadook (English, 2014)
Monsters and horror stories based on them - If you think you have seen them all, beware of the 'Babadook' who will definitely surprise you. Though you might not be scared as much, the family drama at the core adds a refreshing twist to the horror laced presentation which will keep you hooked with suspense throughout! Watch it to believe it!
Lingaa (Tamil, 2014)
Albeit the presence of Rajni’s charisma and a strong storyline, a director of K.S.Ravikumar’s standards is let down by some poor quality scenes and an atrocious climax sequence. This sure isn’t one of Rajni’s best but by all means one can safely bet on the 'Rajinikanth’ factor to carry it to Box-office success!
Exodus: Gods and Kings (English, 2014)
Ridley Scott's take on Moses leading the cause for the Hebrews relies hugely on captivating visuals with top-notch actors, but fails miserably when attempting to put together a cohesive screenplay and intriguing characterization.
