2014 Summer Movie Season - Month By Month Recaps

Month 4 Recap (August 2014)

 

Happy Labor Day Followers, The month of August has been by far the most memorable in recent memory. Records were broken and fun was definitely in full effect. With that said, let’s look back the final month of the summer movie season and the stand out movies.

Guardians of the Galaxy

 What more can be said about one of the year's most quoted, funniest, heartwarming, action packed, and memorable films from the prestigious folks at Marvel Studios. Guardians of the Galaxy reached and surpassed the sky high expectations to become not only one the most  talked about films of the summer movie season, but the highest grossing film of 2014. Not bad for a bunch of A-holes. 

 

 

 

 

Get On Up

Brimming with soul, funk, and humor. The biopic chronicling James Brown's rise to super stardom became a true triumph among the films shown this year. However, movies such as Guardians and Turtles overshadowed the true potential this film had to become a blockbuster. But that in way meant that the funk still wasn't felt.










Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

With all the controversy and negativity thrown its way, the reboots of the heroes in a half shell actually turned out to be better than people expected. With great humor, fast action, and terrific depictions of the turtles you know. TMNT ended up being a quite enjoyable and memorable experience. BOOYAKASHA!!!!

The Expendables 3

You ever heard the expression, "We're getting too old for this"? well, Somebody from the Expendables crew should start speaking up. With watered down action and a weak cast of young newcomers, The Expendables 3 should probably be the white flag in this action franchise. Might be time to trade that assault rifle for a cane or walker.
