If you ask as to why am i so happy, well the answer is simple. Today is the holy day when yours truly has finally hit the century. Since my resolution which started in January 2010, i have managed to lay my eyes upon 100 flicks. And while a few received in depth reviews from me the rest have a rating which is visible in my Movie List.
So for all those who don’t want to go through the shit here is a list of the best flicks I have seen this year. All these are from the Must Watch list. So what now.
More movies and more work left to do.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) ****I first thought i would write one of my usual eloquent reviews which has a lot of paragraphs which usually puts people off.
