For this year, I am going to start posting my top 10 films list of every film year, probably dating back to 1990. All these lists are available at my Letterboxd profile. Let me start with 2014 first, as this was the year that I started to get into watching films seriously, instead of a casual leisure. 2014 is noted for the good number of films coming out this year, and 3 out of 4 Marvel movies released this year were really good. 10. The Theory of Everything  7/10 9. Chef  8/10 8. Dawn of The Planet of The Apes  8/10 7. Godzilla  8/10 6. Guardians of The Galaxy  8/10 5. The Raid 2 8/10 4. X-Men: Days of Future Past  8/10 3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier  8/10 2. Whiplash 9/10 1. Interstellar  9/10

  Steve Jobs is hands down one of the greatest film of all time; about a selfish visionary man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals; and history proved that he's right. Great af screenplay. This film made me wanna drop everything right now and go out to get the latest iPhone. 8/10

  Cult classic. Got to love the part when Matt Salinger's Captain America made a thumbs up to the President with that weird smile with his tongue out. 3/10

  There are bad movies that are so bad they become fun to watch. At least they're fun and campy. And Hulk was a bad movie that's bad and boring. The first 45 minutes can be trimmed way shorter and the whole movie was just draggy. This version of Hulk was also the fattest and most childish one. I prefer 2008's The Incredible Hulk way more. 4/10

  Another one of Marvel's bad movies of the 00s. Well, at least the pacing wasn't slow and it feels like a B-film action movie. And you got Jennifer Garner in hot red costume so yeah. But still, the special effects, the extra characters, man.. it's just bad. 4/10 

  Just wow. I am going through a movie marathon; a movie a day, for Quentin Tarantino's films, and I purposely left Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill to be watched at a later stage of my movie adventure even though I've become a movie lover for quite a while because as far as I've heard, these films are masterpieces. Now, I've watched Reservoir Dogs and I think it is, but after watching Kill Bill: Vol.1, man, I was just blown away. If Reservoir Dogs was the film that kick-started Tarantino's impressive directing career, then Kill Bill was his pinnacle of success. The story and the characters, which were set in their own Tarantino's movie logics were absolutely great and fun, and that iconic yellow jumpsuit was just, instant pop culture material. In fact, I think Kill Bill made it's way to the hall of "movies that shaped the pop culture", in the same league as Star Wars, Indiana Jones and The Dark Knight. And of course, how can I not talk about Uma Thurm
