The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog

So what happens when some aliens decide to invade the wrong neighbourhood in London? Attack the Block is what. Starring a bunch of young actors, the main stars are John Boyega and Jodie Whittaker . It's funny, irreverent, and not your typical action/sci-fi/comedy movie -- plus it's got British accents!

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

The spaghetti western lives again! Rango stars Johnny Depp and Isla Fisher , in an animated western where some small critters are having some serious issues facing their dustbowl town in the middle of a desert. Can a chameleon fake being the hero they need?

Goon is my first surprise movie watched in 2014. A heart-warming tale of a hockey goon/thug played brilliantly by Sean William Scott , written and co-starred by Jay Baruchel , and with an unconventional love interest provided by Alison Pill .

For the rest of January, and a probably February as well, we're going to be enjoying some awesome Cosplay Ladies! The detail in their outfits is incredible. Their physical details aren't bad either, so enjoy! - QBF

Set in the 1970s, American Hustle is about a pair of con-artists ( Christian Bale and Amy Adams ) who have been recruited/entrapped by a (crazy?) FBI agent ( Bradley Cooper ). His plan is to use them to catch even bigger fish. Hilariousness ensues.

Action Man! Some EPIC flip-book animation. - QBF

So it's part 2 of the Hobbit Trilogy, aka: the shortest book set in Middle Earth, which has inexplicably been stretched to the length of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. But I digress... The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug stars the same (mostly short) heroes that were introduced in part 1: Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Martin Freeman (Bilbo), and Richard Armitage (Thorin).

Bernie is a quirky comedy based off real life events. I cannot stress that enough. Truth is stranger than fiction, and Jack Black , Shirley MacLaine , and Matthew McConaughey seem perfect for their roles.

Sequel time! The rule is every very good animated movie gets a sequel, so there was bound to be a Despicable Me 2 . (Why is there no The Incredibles 2?!?!?!) Steve Carrell is back, and joined by the voice talents of Kristen Wiig and Benjamin Bratt .

I won't lie, I was hesitant to watch Haywire because it's harder to suspend my sense of disbelief for female action heroes. The whole "waif-fu" doesn't always work. This movie stars Gina Carano though so I should have known better... mea culpa! There are other big names in here as well: Ewan McGregor , Michael Fassbender , Channing Tatum , Michael Douglas , Antonio Banderas , and Bill Paxton . Still this is without a doubt Gina's movie.

If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it? -- Dogen

Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -- Leonard Cohen

You may know her as your favourite Cylon from the rebooted Battlestar Galactica , but for Grace Park I prefer to focus on her über-babeness. Welcome to NSFW Monday 2014! - QBF
