"X-Men: Days of Future Past" (2014)
Professor X (Patrick Stewart) discovers that there is an event that could destroy both mutants and humans. So, the X-Men send Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) back in time to team up with the X-Men of the past to stop the event from happening. "X-Men: Days of Future Past" Website
What to Watch For: The fans of the Marvel universe are all excited about this film, not only for the mix of old and new casts, but also Peter Dinklage's appearance as Dr. Bolivar Trask.
Word on the Street: This could be one Hugh Jackman's appearances as Wolverine.
My Take: Any movie with both Jennifer Lawrence and Ellen Page is a movie I have to see.

"Chef" (2014)
Chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) was once the toast of the culinary world. But, Carl is stuck in a rut and loses his job when he tries to change up the menu. He decides to travel with his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara) to take care of their son (Emjay Anthony) while she goes to meetings. There, Carl discovers a used food truck and decides to buy it. He then travels in the food truck, across country, back to L.A., taking his son on a trip they will never forget. "Chef" Website
What to Watch For: The supporting cast for this film is superb. Dustin Hoffman is Chef Carl's boss, Scarlett Johansson is the restaurant hostess, and John Leguizamo plays Carl's right-hand man in the kitchen.
Word on the Street: I guarantee you will want a grilled cheese sandwich after seeing this film. It's said it's a foodie's dream movie.
My Take: I hear there are some really cool cameos in this film from some big name stars.

"Blended" (2014)
Jim (Adam Sandler) and Lauren (Drew Barrymore) went on a blind date that turned out horribly. Now they both find themselves stuck with each other and their families on a dream vacation to Africa. What can go wrong? "Blended" Website
What to Watch For: It's been ten years since 50 First Dates (2004), so we are due for another Sandler/Barrymore romantic comedy.
Word on the Street: Word is that Terry Crews steals another movie as an over-the-top tour guide.
My Take: Drew and Adam haven't been setting the box office world on fire, so both are due a hit.
