Alright, we took a backseat from Hollywood films and gave the Pinoy films a front row this Holiday season. Kudos to 10000 Hours, My Little Bossings, Pagpag and Kimmy Dora.

However, this 2014, there’s plenty of movies to look forward to. Before i give you a rundown of the 2014 films, here are 14 films I’m most looking forward to?

Well, summer films “Spider-Man”, “X-Men”, “Captain America”, &”Transformers”. Excited also to see the final installments of “The Hobbit” and “The Hunger Games”. Quite curious how “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” will look like. “Maleficent”, “Grace of Monaco” and “Into The Woods” add a variety to my list. Ridley Scott’s “Exodus”, Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar”, George Clooney’s “The Monument’s Men” are quite interesting. Of the animated films, I have been waiting for the release of the sequel to “How To Train Your Dragon.”

So, start listing (and saving money) for these films!)

And here are some of Hollywood films showing this year. Thank you cbsnews.com for giving us a heads up. Keep in mind that these dates aren’t carved in stones and might change anyyime the producers want to. Just set your calendars (and your movie buddy or movie dates), and check the nearby cinemas for updates.
