Trailers for 2014 Movies I'd Like To See

Hey gang!
I've just gotten back into doing these little posts. I post some trailers for a few 2014 films that I like the look of. If you like them too then go see them, check them out on DVD. I have a real passion for film so I want to share it with you to hopefully spark your interest as well.

Here are my trailer picks for this week:

In Your Eyes

Well, we all know that I'm a sucker for anything made my Joss Whedon.
This looks like a really sweet idea of supernatural love. I'd really love to watch this. Sure, we all get a bit sick of rom coms but this seems like a really sweet twist on your typical lovey flick.

After The Dark

This film looks really interesting.
In some post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller where people are trying to figure out who gets to survive based on their skills from previous careers I think there's potential for the basis of a great movie. This trailer alone has my interest. Here's another trailer that more adequately shows the nature of the film.

Foxfire

I really love the look of this film - it's a flick about a bunch of girls who, unsatisfied with how men and society treat them, decide to take matters into their own hands and become a notorious girl gang. The trailer doesn't give too much away about the plot of the film as a whole so it leaves me curious and wanting more.






The Face Of Love

This one looks really interesting.
I love Annette Bening as an actress and the world is going to want to see the last few films graced by Robin Williams. As someone who has found the one true love of their life, I often fear losing that love. A film following a widow who is grieving and trying to cope with it in her own way seems like a really compelling film.

Support Independent Films!

With the recent release of Thor 2 and the trends of big, action-packed movies with super heroes and supernatural elements after a while it's easy to get a little bored.

If you want to see films that are different, films that feel organic, then I highly suggest going to indie film festivals and supporting the indie film scene. There are so many people who are creating films because they want to create something. They're not making a movie to rake in big bucks. They just want to tell you a story and leave you with something to feel or something to think on.

Here's a list of the 100 Essential Film Festivals as listed by Raindance Film Festival.

The Cambridge Film Festival

As September draws nearer it is almost time for the Cambridge Film Festival. I write this because I dreamt of being there last night. I was fortunate enough to work with the festival last year and it was a real highlight of 2012 for me. They put film events on throughout the year leading up to their own major festival. Recently they've been putting on their usual magnificent events: movies at Grantchester Meadows. Watching a movie in a field may seem like a strange idea, but it truthfully immerses you into the film by taking you out of your comfort zone. You're not in a comfy cinema, you're in the great outdoors like the people you're seeing on screen. They recently did such showings with the film Life of Pi. 

The main festival will run from the 19th until the 29th of September. Through August and September the team also put on open air screenings. I've attended and worked at such events and I can tell you that they are absolutely magnificent. It really adds to the experience. Click here for a list of some of the films being shown over Cambridge during the festival.



If you have the chance or ability to go then I urge you to do so firstly because it's important to support such events. The team put in so much excellent work each year to bring fun film events to the local community. I also urge you to go because you'll no doubt find yourself having a wonderful time. In recent years even famous faces such as Gary Oldman have turned up to promote their films. Please Google them, look up their upcoming events and go along to support the festival, independent film makers and to enjoy a fabulous cinematic experience.
