Well it’s almost Christmas, and as I look over the past twelve months in preparation for my annual Top Ten movies, I notice that I haven’t dedicated as much time to this blog as I have in the past. I think it’s been a bit of a ‘life get’s in the way’ situation although I still really enjoy expressing myself here. So thankyou for sticking with me during the downtimes.
This past year has b
een good rather though, after all I got to see my favourite band, Garbage in concert again in September and even saw The League of Gentlemen live on stage, both experiences being particular highlights for me personally. It’s been great to get such opportunities and to go for them rather than shying away or letting other things, less memorable things take priority.
As far as this blog’s primary focus is concerned, there’s been a few underwhelming movies of which I’ll be compiling a ten disappointments like I did last year. On the gaming front there’s also been several highlights so look out for a post about that too. I’ll be posting these towards the end of the month with the Top Ten movies posting on 31st. Other than that there may be a couple more movie reviews and possibly a gaming impression or two before the end of the month as well as my usual Christmas day post.
Well that’s all for now.

It’s that time of year again and once again I’ve compiled what I feel are the ten best movies I managed to see this year. Note: some may be older than 2017.
10.
Your Name
‘A beautifully animated, heart-warming, emotional and funny body-swap drama’
9.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
‘Pure escapist entertainment at it’s finest. Luc Besson is back’
8.
Wonder Woman
‘DC gets it right and one of the most purely enjoyable comic-book movies in years’
7.
War for the Planet of the Apes
‘Full of heart and emotion and spectacle. The most satisfying rebooted franchise ever’
6.
Annabelle Creation
‘Atmosphere, well-judged scares and solid performances make for a surprising sequel’
5.
Nocturnal Animals
‘Cleverly structured and powerful relationship drama with excellent performances’
4.
Gerald’s Game
‘A Stephen King adaptation that does a great deal with a very simple premise’
3.
Train to Busan
‘Korean genre cinema at it’s finest. Action, thrills and a surprising amount of heart’
2.
Hacksaw Ridge
‘A powerful true story with expert direction and great performances’
1.
Logan
‘An incredibly effective take on a familiar character turned into a road movie with powerful performances and genuine grit … and Hugh Jackman deserves an Oscar’
Honourable mentions: A Street Cat Named Bob, Hell or Highwater, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2
This has been one of the toughest end-of-year Top Ten’s I’ve ever come up with. Although there were many good movies this year, there hasn’t (for me) been a clear winner, and well I’ve not managed to get around to some of the real big hitters like 12 Years A Slave or Boyhood, to name two. However listed below is my final Ten of the year compiled from the best movies I watched and reviewed (for the first time) in 2014. Note: I try and limit the contenders to movies released in the last two years.
1. Guardians of the Galaxy
2. American Hustle
3. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
4. The Wolf of Wall Street
5. Dallas Buyers Club
6. Gravity
7. Inside Llewyn Davis
8. Nightcrawler
9. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
10. Saving Mr Banks
Honourable mentions: Gone Girl, The Raid 2 and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
