Coming Soon to 2014 and The Best of 2014 So Far

So we're nearly halfway through the year and it's been a fantastic already! Last year saw Frozen and Iron Man 3 top the box office with a total of $1.23bn and $1.21bn respectively. Who will it be this year? X-Men: Days of Future Past? How to Train Your Dragon 2? Maybe the fourth Transformers film will top the bill. So far Captain America: Winter Soldier is in the top spot with takings stretching over the $700m mark. This doesn't mean they are the best films out there. Here are my suggestions on what to watch that's coming soon or already on DVD.

Stays true to its historical routes. Welcome back Gojira!

5. X-Men: Days of Future Past (in cinemas now)    

An absolute masterpiece that incorporates both the young and old. Plus it shits all over The Last Stand.
