I See You

Hey there! This is my own tradition and I have done this since 2009 (I didn't even realized it has been 5 years). It started as notes on Facebook until 2012, then I decided to move the list to this blog (therefore aiming for a smaller audience). 2014 is starting and of course, 2014 is nothing compared to the upcoming mega monster movie year of 2015. But still, let's take a look at what the chef prepared for appetizer. And I, as the restaurant manager, have filtered the choices so that the only movies that we see would only spell quality. That was a confusing sentence. As always, this doesn't include 2013 award season films and perhaps doesn't include 2014 award season films too (because unlike tentpoles, they don't have a definite release date from now). Plus, bold titles mean must watches and unmarked means negotiable.
