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.
Appuchi Graamam (Tamil, 2014)
Appuchi Graamam is just like any other ordinary village that you will see – but an extraordinary situation, forces it to change on its head and its story when captured in a good mix of an interesting master plot, decent performances and an impressively short run time, makes for a brilliant on-screen presentation! This is one village you won’t regret visiting!!
Kaaviyathalaivan (Tamil, 2014)
The specialty of the film is – The villain in the film is not without his nobility & the hero here is not without his faults! In bringing out memorable showings from his cast & technical crew & making Kaaviya Thalaivan a stand-out film in their resumes, Vasantha Balan elevates his own level.
Fa yeung nin wa (or) In the Mood for Love (Cantonese, 2000)
In the Mood for Love is a poetic, subtle tale of relationships, that kindles the untold romance within you while at the same time being never on the melodramatic side.
Vanmham (Tamil, 2014)
Though the intent is just not there from the creative department to differ from the usual, it never ceases from disappointing the audience with its placidity. Barring few moments of brilliance from Vijay Sethupathi and the refreshingly native setup in Kanyakumari, this one is sure to take revenge on your senses! – staying true to its title “Vanmham”, the intent for revenge!
Naya Pata (Bhojpuri ,2014)
Naya Pata is certainly a noble attempt at chronicling the pain of migrating from a village to a city but it could have been so much more had the pacing issues been taken care of.
