Top Five Movies from 4/18/2014

Nothing coming out this week is strong enough to unseat the top movie from the past two weeks, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Captain is the first three time top movie in CentralIllinoisMovies.info's history. That's pretty special. There's nothing I can say here that hasn't been said already about this comic book sequel. It's a breath of fresh air from the Disney/Marvel Studios and if you haven't seen it yet it's high time you did.

Bears is coming to the area this week and it looks like it's the best new film in a theater near you. It's a true life adventure that showcases a year in the life of a family of bears. With its breathtaking cinematography and beautiful fauna, Bears is a great one to see this Easter weekend.

Flop of the week, Transcendence is out now. If you're a fan of sci-fi and/or Johnny Depp this is a good one for you. Critics have panned it as being ridiculous so it could offer more than meets the eye in the laugh department.

Rio 2, last week's number two film is entering its second week in theaters. If the kids want to see a cartoon and eat popcorn this is the picture to see. Otherwise, I'd recommend skipping it.

Horror fans have spoken and Oculus is a hit. Check it out if you're a fan of the genre. This week is fairly disappointing, as was last week, but summer blockbuster are just around the corner so there should be only a few more "dud" weekends like this until fall. Also, sorry about no images this week, I didn't feel like reusing the same ones I've been parading around here the last few weeks.
