Posted Nov 13, 2014 Dumb and Dumber To (2014) Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels haven't lost a step in in this surprisingly worthy sequel to what is arguably the greatest comedy of all time.‐ We Got This Covered 300: Rise of an Empire (2014) If not for Eva Green and her captivatingly insane portrayal of Artemisia, Rise of an Empire would be a failure as a sequel.‐ What CulturePosted Mar 8, 2014 There's something inherently hilarious about watching bitter man-children petulantly taint the innocence of childhood.‐ What CulturePosted Feb 27, 2014 It's just a shame that more of Pompeii didn't feature a deadly Mount Vesuvius; it's the best character in the movie.‐ What CulturePosted Feb 23, 2014 Paul Verhoeven executed everything with class and brilliance compared to this somewhat miscalculated reboot ... it's also simply stupid and disrespectful to shift the legacy of Robocop into PG-13 territory.

And as you know, the public opinion sometimes differs from that of professional film critics. As it should, film critics often see hundreds of new movies a year (a larger sampling of content) and have thus have a more discerning taste. So after the jump we will take a look at the best reviewed movies of 2014.This list was compiled from Rotten Tomatoes and not Metacritic. Both sites have their advantages. Rotten Tomatoes includes a larger sample of reviews, while Metacritic features a smaller more-selected grouping of film critics. Rotten Tomatoes calculates critic scores using a positive or negative score for each review. One movie could be 100% fresh with all the critics giving the movie a 7/10 grade. Metacritic attempts to gauge the score of each critic’s review (not just a positive or negative, but a number 0 to 100) averaged together, giving you a better indication of what the response is to any given film, and not just a percentage of positive reviews. Honestly, I like how Metacritic calculates the numbers, but their refusal to incorporate a larger sample of film critics puts them behind Rotten Tomatoes in my mind.
Note: This list was compiled on the third week of December, these ratings and placements could change into January. The ranking also uses an adjusted score (that uses a weighted Bayesian formula) with a minimum of 40 reviews.50. 94% The Dog 4949. 94% The Dance of Reality 5048. 93% Child’s Pose 7446. 95% Particle Fever 4445. 93% Force Majeure 9944. 91% A Most Wanted Man 15143. 95% Two Days, One Night 6042. 94% Stranger by the Lake 8441. 94% Finding Vivian Maier 8640. 96% A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night 4539. 96% Last Days in Vietnam 4935. 88% Gone Girl 249 reviews34. 92% How to Train Your Dragon 2 15933. 89% Captain America: The Winter Soldier 24131. 98% A Summer’s Tale 4330. 20,000 Days on Earth 97% rating 67 reviews29.
