Best of 2014: Movie Edition

 Hello, and welcome to my next installment of 'Best Of 2014'. Seeing as how 2014 is over and 2015 has started, I'll be taking a look back at 2014, particularly television and film. 

 Best Comic Book Film: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Yowzah, was that hard to pick. Still, it's quite hard to beat CATWS. A couple of years ago, I wouldn't believe you if you told me that Marvel just kept getting better and better after The Avengers, but somehow they manage it; and in spades. I wasn't originally excited for the film; when the first trailer came out, I was 'eh', but by the time the second one came out, I was ready for it to be April. The film manages to convey suspense, humor, and action all in one neat package that absolutely hits the nail on the head. One of my favorite things about the film (besides Sam Wilson, because he's awesome) is definitely Steve and Nat's friendship. I really hope that continues in Age of Ultron (*crosses fingers*, please writers, please?)

Honorable Mentions: Guardians of the Galaxy, The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Best Of 2014 (Television)

Hello, dear readers! I hope you've all enjoyed a happy New Year's. If you haven't noticed, I've redecorated a little bit, complete with a new logo (clip art courtesy of the royalty free clipart website, openclipart). Anyway, to celebrate the new year, I'm going back in time to last year, to review the Entertainment of 2014, in this installment I'll be focusing on Television. Spoilers obviously follow below, but I'll try to put warnings on the really spoiler-y areas.

Best Television Return (Season Premiere): Doctor Who
While this could easily have gone to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the season premiere I enjoyed the most was definitely Doctor Who's. The show returned in full force with a new title sequence, theme and a brand new (and already quite beloved) Doctor. Peter Capaldi made his first full appearance (after briefly showing up in the 50th Special, Day of the Doctor, as well as appearing at the end of Time of the Doctor). The premiere had it all: humor, heart-wrenching moments (*cough*, phone call, *cough), blasts from the past, and even a T-Rex in the London Thames! How's that for an opening?
Honorable Mentions: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Castle, Sleepy Hollow
