BlackBeltDragon's Favorite Films of 2014(in no order)

Here are my favorite films of this year. I have missed on some notable ones. Like neighbors, the interview, and WhipLash. The reason for WhipLash was because I didn't feel interested and I thought it just was an idea that I have seen a million times before, but I will see it eventually. The others I will seen soon. So with out further of do here are my list of films of 2014 in no order.

20. The Lego Movie- I wasn't expecting anything good. I thought it would be much of a cash grab to Legos, but it's actually an amazing movie. It's definitely one of the best animated films to come out.

19. Chef- from the same person who wrote the Iron-Man movies. It's Chef and wonderful and delicious movie to see. I am telling you right now that you will be F***ing hungry after seeing this wonderful movie.

18. Muppets Most Wanted- it's one of the great sequels that came out this year and it's funny and tons of strange stuff. Coming from the muppets you will expect that.

17.  Captain America: The Winter Solider- what can I say an amazing Marvel Movie.

16. The Amazing Spider-Man 2- now you might say I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel, but it's an entertaining and well acted film.

15. Godzilla(2014 Film)- what can I say it's awesome and It's F***ing GODZILLA!

14. X-Men: Days of Future Past- it's an amazing X-men movie that fixes everything from the past films.

13. How to train your dragon 2- it's a wonderful an incredible ride. It's worth checking out.

12. The Fault in Our Stars- it's a great drama-comedy that actually made me cry a lot. It's defiantly worth checking out.

11.  22 Jump Street- a hilarious comedy that actually is superior than the first movie.

10.  A Brony Tale- yeah yeah yeah, I'm a fan of the show, but I actually love this documentary. It's one of those rare movies that actually got a 100% on rotten tomatoes. That's just incredible. It's movie worth checking out even if your not a Brony.

9. AVGN: The Movie- we have been waiting a long time for this, it was worth it. Go and buy the Blu-Ray you won't be disappointed.

8. Guardians of the Galaxy- when I first saw the trailers I was not expecting much, but then after seeing the movie I was 100% wrong. it's one of the greatest Marvel movies to be part of  the Marvel cinematic universe.

7. Sin City: A Dame To Kill For- not as good as the first one, but it's definitely worth checking out it's an amazing and incredible movie.

6. Birdman- amazing, incredible, and fantastic film from Michael Keaton. it's definitely one of his greatest performance in a long time, but I can tell you that you will have to see it twice just to understand everything, but for me after seeing it once I caught everything in the film.

5. The Theory of Everything- I already made a review about this movie so if you want to check it out here is the link: http://youtu.be/8cdzcOszXFs

4. St. Vincent- one of the most amazing Bill Murray Movies. If this was supposed to be his final film of his career ,then it would've been ending it on a great note.

3. Big Hero 6- you know the drill here is the link: http://youtu.be/So1tZyD-6rc

2. Dumb and Dumber To- did a review again  http://youtu.be/gU710_aYiek

1.The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies- http://youtu.be/S7zplZuWn7c

Top 10 Video Game Sequels

When it comes to sequels to movies most of them are never better than the original, but for video games it's a completely different story most sequels to games are either great or better than the original. There are times where it can't succeed, but it's rare. So for the occasion of the new Super Smash Bros, I will talk about my top 10 video game sequels.

Warning: These are only games I've played, also there will not be any RPG's on this list and many of you might be disappointed about that, but I haven't really gotten into those games yet.

  10. Sly 3 Honor Among Thieves

I do have to say after playing this game I really got hooked on the series, I do want to inform that this was the first game I played in the series and didn't play the first 2, until later on. this game got me hooked into open world environments in gaming, well for the most part. It's a great game I will never forget.

 9.Super Mario Galaxy 2

 Now, many of you might  be saying that this is a reboot or remake of the first game, well to me and from what I played it's a prequel. I know some may argue that it takes place for another 100 years(it's video game logic don't question it). This to me is better than the original adding in new stuff to try out and new challenges that await for you in deep space.

8.Super Smash Bros Melee

 To many fans this is the best in the series, well a new one is coming out so it's not for sure yet. I have really great memories of this masterpiece of a fighting game, it certainly deserves the praise it get's for trying to better than the original and it succeeded. I like how it plays and the characters have incredible powers that I can't get enough of and that's why it deserves the number 8 spot.

7. Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers

This is more of an update than a sequel, but I say this is the better version I've played so far. I love all the characters and the fighting mechanics still holds up even today. I won't say much because everyone has talked about the series a lot already.

6. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage

I haven't played the original yet, but I do plan to when I get the chance. I have memories of this sequel for a while. The commercials hyped up this game like crazy, when it came out it made me "feel the burn"(tagline from the commercial). I say play this awesome game in Summer or Winter it's a treat.








5. The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past

I haven't finish this game yet, but I just can't leave it out. Many people say it's a fantastic game on the SNES. They were correct, it's a worth wild game to get on that console. The puzzle solving and weapons are great.








4. Sonic and Knuckles
it's probably the second sonic game I beat without any cheats or save states, the first was sonic chaos on the game gear. This is a great sonic game with fast speed, hard action, and great music that I can't get out of my head. It's definitely one of the best in the series.











3. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know this is an update version of the same game, but it's the only one I played. I don't know what the differences are in the dreamcast version. What I can say is that if you have a GameCube this is a great game to own with good story,characters, and loads of fun.










2. Super Mario Bros 3

I played this game and saw the movie the wizard, I like them both in their own way. The game is a great side-scrolling platformer of the Mario trilogy on NES. It's definitely worth getting because of it's good gamplay, fun items, and many world to visit. This game is the best on the NES.

















1. Pac-Man World 2

I remember when I got this game for my 12th birthday, a day I will never forget. I was a huge Pac-Man fan and this is one of my favorite games of all time because it had a great world filled with a bunch of great characters and items alone the way. there are different varieties in the game like skating on ice and bridges, an amazing underwater level, where you either swim or use a submarine. It's a blast  I'm serious. It's loads of fun for any fan of the series. I highly recommend getting this on the GameCube or Ps2 it's Fantastic!

Barnyard:The Original Party Animals(FC100 Review)

 Barnyard film by nickelodeon, starring Kevin James as a cow who
 brings funny comedic jokes as well as fight off a coyote army. Ok ok I know what your saying, why are you reviewing this movie if so many think it's horrible. I do want to tell you all the truth, I think this movie is good, reason why is because it brings a good amount of nostalgia and lots of funny lines I remembered to this day. the movie has a good plot going for it, there are a couple of things wrong with the film, like the ending is sort of rushed and there is a ton of product placements. There is still a bunch of thing that are good, like the jokes in the movie and the characters, there are just too many to count. I saw the movie when it premiere and I was young at the time, from what I heard everyone said this movie will scare kids. I don't really understand that, because when I saw it I wasn't scared one bit. Maybe it was just one of those lying excuses to make the film look bad. I recently watched the film and it still holds up, if your looking for an obscure film that actually has a lot of funny jokes than this movie is for you. If your one of those haters, that didn't like it the first time, then check it out again and maybe you'll change your mind.

Top 10 Video Game Remakes and Reboots

I know how directors lose their originality and bother making anything new and just remake a popular movie from the past, but of course most of them are bad and some are good. Video games are different, when a developer makes a remake or reboot of a franchise  most of the time it's awesome and sometimes it's bad. I have made a list of what I think are great remakes and reboots of video games, so let't begin.

10. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

 I want to tell the truth here and say that when the Nintendo 3DS came out. I had no idea it was a remake of another game of the zelda francise, but I manage to play the original later and both are amazing in their own way. I know I might get hated for this, but I prefer the remake better than the original and it's amazing. The graphics are great and 3D is mind blowing to look at and the reason it's on the bottom of the list is because there is nothing new added the only difference is the graphics, but it's still a great game that pays tribute to the original.

9. Yoshi Island DS

I know I know it's not a remake or reboot, but this counts for a reason. It follows the same formula than the original Yoshi's Island on the SNES. I would count this as a remake, it's a great game that offers lots of challenge and brings back good memories of the original. I do have to say that it's more harder and I never bother to go back to the game which is bad cause it got good praise. I still like it but it's really challenge, I suggest to go back to the original before playing the remake.

8. Power Stone Collection

I love power stone it's a fantastic fighting game and even though it's not the console version it's still a great game. This remake maybe a cheat since it's a collection of the original two games, but I think it deserves a good praise to have power stone on the go. and so remake " Welcome to the number 8 spot of my top 10 remakes and reboots"!

7. Ducktales: Remastered 

I love Ducktales, after finding out their was going to be a remake of the original game I was pump up to play it and after that it was great joy. I love the cut scenes and I love the game. This game feels like I'm watching a new episodes of ducktales and it's fantastic. I don't care what others think I will not change my opinion, also the theme song ohhhhhhhhhh my gosh. It's still catchy and incredible and I love it. The only nitpick I have is when they talk how come their mouths don't move. 

6. Punch Out!

 There is not really much to say about this except this is a great remake of the original NES game. This was brought to the wii just to be part of the wii fit family, it's great for exercising.

5. Mortal Kombat

I know that everyone think this is a great game and that it's a welcome return of the mortal kombat francise. I already did a whole video review of this game and it you want to check that out here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJqRMy40Q4. It's an amazing reboot of the francise. 

4. New Super Mario Bros

When I found out there was a remake of the original Mario game I lost hope for Nintendo thinking that they ran out of ideas, but then after playing the game I knew that this remake is amazing. When they say remake it's a remake, pays tribute to the original a tries something new a succeeds it's a great game. if anyone finds a copy it's worth checking out.




3. Donkey Kong Country Returns

I have played the original game and still love it and the remake is way better. The remake doesn't take too much from the original. it feels new and it succeeds at becoming a game that ca stand out on it's own. I love playing the colorful and wonderful levels of this game, it feels so good playing this game. I will however say that it does have some unfair challenges but it's still amazing.












2. Super Mario 64 DS

 When I found out there was a remake of one of my favorite Mario games of all time. I was excited because it was the launch title for the Nintendo DS(when it came out at the time). I was crazy about this game when  I played it, but I will always prefer the original over the remake. I still love the remake and it shows lots of great stuff. Paying respects to the originals and adding 3 more characters to the mix, pick up this game because it worth playing on the go.







1. Street Fighter 4(Series)

I know I know it's a cheat to put the whole series of the street fighter 4 games and that it's still a continuation of the series, but Hadoken you got owned. I will count this cause it like the original street fighter 2 series of how there were so many updates of the games and they are still amazing. I think the updates are good but starting to milk itself with ultra coming out, but I still think street fighter 4 is a great return to the original street fighter games. If anyone says otherwise then HADOKEN!
