Nowadays, what was media relevant 5 minutes ago can be old
news within a re-tweet. So let’s try to stay ahead of the game and discuss what
is yet to hit the theaters. I have recently been perusing the upcoming movie
boards and there were, in my opinion, a few must-see films for 2014.

Undoubtedly, there will be nothing more epic than the upcoming Darren Aronofsky movie Noah. Starring Russell
Crowe, who cemented his talent for historical drama in Gladiator, the movie
follows Noah’s heavenly charge to build an ark in the prelude of the great
flood. The film not only seemingly has awe-inspiring special effects, but also
contains that all-important quality a feature film should have; life-changing
substance. You know it will be up for an Oscar! It opens on March 28th.
I know
that I am side stepping interest tailored movies like 5o Shades of Grey or even
the Hobbit movies. It’s not to say there is substance to them, as much as they
do not soar to that epic status. Bluntly, those films that find praise and an enduring
following are usually dramatic and historical; which are films I myself
gravitate to for their lessons upon life. With that, I’d like to include in
this post the mention of Stalingrad. I’ll assume you know the significance of the name, yet not the grandeur of its
cinematic display. It’s another excellent illustration of how close we came to a
global brink as we sat unattached in America.
You
will find an endless assortment of candied movie sequels to spoil your appetite
upon. Sometimes you just want to be entertained; so do I. Honestly, I’m
somewhat excited to see Mr. Peabody & Sherman with my young nephew. I’m
sure we’ll both enjoy it. And it may teach a six year old boy a few indirect
lessons, but it will just make me smile. So indulge wisely.
There
are many good movie premises due to arrive over the next year. Some of them are
worthy of praise. I encourage you to scan LiveFor Films yourself to find the true treasures.
