How To Train Your Dragon 2 [Films] – June 2014
The first film was a treat for the whole family. Great
story, great script, great animation and a beautiful
soundtrack to boot. The original film followed the
young, nerdy, social outcast Viking called Hiccup as
he met and bonded with Toothless the dragon – a
creature hated and feared by his clan. In the film he
managed to make a new friend, defy (and alter) the
belief system of his clan and got a girlfriend in the
process. If you haven’t seen the first film, watch it.
Once you’ve watched it you’ll be super stoked to see
the sequel that will pop up on the big screen in summer 2014.
Interstellar [Films] – November 2014
Christopher Nolan’s first film in the director chair
following the critically acclaimed blockbuster hit
Dark Knight Trilogy of Batman films. Interstellar is also
an original movie – just like previous critical success
Inception (2010). Interstellar is co-written by Christopher and his brother Jonathan, with a score by Hans
Zimmer and stars Matthew McConaughey and Anne
Hathaway. The plot is largely under wraps but what
we do know is it involves the discovery of a wormhole and a space exploration mission, composed of
a team of explorers and scientists, inside it.
Superior Spider-Man: Goblin Nation [Marvel Comics,
comics] – February 2014
The controversial Spider-Man series heats up as Dan
Slott and Giuseppe Camuncoli bring a major fivepart Spider-Man story in the opening months of
2014, starting with February’s Superior Spider-Man
27.NOW. Entitled ‘Goblin Nation’, the story has been
described by Slott, in interview with CBR, as “…not
just the Green Goblin...It’s a Green Goblin who’s had
twenty-six issues to plan and scheme; a Green Goblin who’s secretly the Kingpin of Crime in all of New
York thanks to the Superior Spider-Man. THIS IS IT!”
