10- NYMPHOMANIAC: Well it was released...in Europe, in an edited, four-hour version. The "real" five and a half hour super porn version is still out there, and it's being released in two parts in the U.S. in the Spring. Looks, sounds amazing.
9- SNOWPIERCER: Didn't come out. The trailer looks intriguing. I have no idea when it's being released.
8- STOKER: Terrible. A really awful, soulless film. 1/2*
7- STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS: You can read my review. Scroll down. **1/2
6- THE GREAT GATSBY: Good. Stylish. It entertained me. Nothing special, really, but worth a glance. **1/2
5- MAN OF STEEL: Semi-entertaining. A truly awful opening on Krypton. The rest has some good action. Pretty forgettable, though. Even comic book writers these days can't figure out Superman, so what chance does Hollywood? **1/2
4- THE WORLD'S END: Glorious. Before the robot apocalypse action stuff it's a terrific film with spot-on dialogue and a dark undertone...then it gets entertaining but sort of falls apart. One of the year's best, though. ***1/2
3- THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG: Not as good as the first one. I'm the only one who thought that. I love these movies, though. The dragon is epic. Some silly action mars it, but I enjoyed the ride. ***
2- BEFORE MIDNIGHT: A disappointment. I adored the second one. This one just feels like walking in place. *1/2
1- THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE: Didn't see it. You would think I would have, since it was the most anticipated...
