10 Movies To Look Forward To in 2014

1) 22 Jump Street- After the success of 21 Jump Street back in 2012, which made over $30 million during its opening weekend, the sequel is another destined success. Once again starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, this time the pair is sent undercover to a college campus. This is already one of the most anticipated comedies of the year. Check out the trailer HERE! (Rated R)
2) The Fault In Our Stars- Based on the best-selling novel by John Green, the movie adaptation starring Shailene Woodley (best known for her role in ABC Family's "The Secret Life Of The American Teenager"), already has fans of the novel marking their calendars for its release date on June 6th! The love story revolves around 16 year old Cancer patient Hazel and her love interest Gus, who lost his right leg to Cancer. The plot is full of twists and turns and is perfectly capable of pleasing people of any age, gender, or background. Just one piece of advice before you get ready to see it: DON'T FORGET THE TISSUES! The trailer itself is a tear-jerker! This is truly "one sick love story"!
3) Divergent- Also based on a best-selling novel (this time by Veronica Roth) and starring Shailene Woodley, "Divergent" is full of action, adventure, and romance. The story revolves around a futuristic world in which society is divided into 5 factions; Abnegation for the selfless, Amity for the peaceful, Dauntless for the fearless, Candor for the honest, and Erudite for the intelligent. The main character, 16 year old Tris, must face her fears unconditionally and do whatever it takes to save those like her... Divergent. See the trailer HERE!
4) The Hunger Games- Mockingjay Part 1- As the third installment in the "Hunger Games" series, Mockingjay begins Katniss's rebellion against the Capitol. She becomes the symbol of a new future- one without the Capitol's sense of brutal entertainment. Simultaneously, she learns that she will have to face even more difficult challenges than she did in the games including facing President Snow, the fear of losing the only family she has, the task of retrieving Peeta from the Capitol's grip, all along constantly fighting for her life- this time, without any cameras or sponsors.
5) The Amazing Spider Man 2- Starring some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including real-life and on-screen couple Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, the sequel to "The Amazing Spider Man" is set to please millions of anxious fans. Expected to be released in May, the trailer alone has scooped up over 25 million views!
6) The Expendables 3- With an all-star cast and 2 previous huge successes, the third film in "The Expendables" is not expected to disappoint! The trailer has managed to rank up nearly 5 million YouTube views, and fans are as ready as ever for its much-anticipated August release!
7) How To Train Your Dragon 2- Ever since the first movie's release in 2010, the family-friendly film has made over half a billion dollars and has led to the release of related video games and a TV show! The second installment is set to be released this summer, and you can view the complete trailer HERE!
8) The Maze Runner- This Sci-Fi upcoming film full of thrills and mystery is set to be released this September. Based on the novel by James Dashner, the story is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which the main character, Thomas, lacks any memory of his past or the outside world. He ends up in a place known as "the Glade", surrounded by other boys who call themselves "Gladers". The rest is a journey full of the unknown, and it is one of the highest anticipated films of the year without a doubt!
9) Night At The Museum 3- Back in 2006, "Night At The Museum" was one of the most successful films of the year. The second film followed in those footsteps and became a hit at the box office. The third one is destined to be just as successful! Starring some of Hollywood's A-listers including Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, and Rebel Wilson, the film will once again consist of the museum's exhibits coming to life in the night; not to mention it is a movie the whole family can enjoy. The 8 years since the first film was released seem to have flown by, haven't they? But I, for one, never stopped hoping for another "Night At The Museum"!

Noah takes extreme action in order to protect those closest to him from the upcoming flood.  It is set to be released in late November. See the trailer.
