Weird Cool Dumb’s Most Anticipated Movies of 2014
These are the 10 movies scheduled for release in 2014 that I’m most looking forward to.
2014 is shaping up to be a really good year for movies! Many of my favorite directors are releasing new films & there are a number of original films that I have high hopes for. Surprisingly, I haven’t included any superhero movies on this list. I want to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier & Guardians of the Galaxy, just not as much as those listed below. Without further ado, here are my most anticipated movies of 2014 (in order of release).
Her [January 10, 2014]

I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews from those who have already seen Her. 2014 may very well be the year of Joaquin Phoenix.
The Lego Movie [February 7, 2014]
On paper this movie sounds dumb. It smells like a money grab. Who knows, it may be just that, but the trailer surprised me & I have my fingers crossed for big things.
The Wind Rises [February 21, 2014]

Hayao Miyazaki can do no wrong in my book. This is Miyazaki’s final film & it explores the life of a man who designed Japanese fighter planes during World War II.
The Grand Budapest Hotel [March 7, 2014]
Wes Anderson’s newest movie. As usual, the cast is out-of-control-awesome (Jude Law, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel & many more)!
Transcendence [April 18, 2014]
This is the directorial debut of The Dark Knight/Inception cinematographer, Wally Pfister. Transcendence contributes to what seems to be the main theme of cinema in 2014 – technology.
22 Jump Street [June 13, 2014]
The reboot of 21 Jump Street caught many people off guard in 2012. It was absolutely hilarious & I’m hoping this sequel will live up to my higher expectations. {warning trailer above has explicit language}
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes [July 11, 2014]

I thoroughly enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes & I think this is going to be just as fun. I’m a sucker for “monkey movies”.
Jupiter Ascending [July 18, 2014]
The Wachowskis are filmmakers whom I always give the benefit of the doubt. Cloud Atlas was an entertaining mess & I’m always waiting for them to make “the next Matrix”.
Inherent Vice [August 13, 2014]
Paul Thomas Anderson is a legendary director & Inherent Vice is a legendary book. Add in a little Joaquin Phoenix & this is without a doubt a must-see. {no trailer available yet}
Interstellar [November 7, 2014]
I don’t know much about this movie other than it’s an original Sci-Fi movie directed by Christopher Nolan & it has something to do with wormholes. That’s enough for me – sold.
A couple movies that just barely missed the list are Tusk (Kevin Smith) & Noah (Darren Aronofsky). Let me know what you think about my picks & what your most anticipated movies of 2014 are.
