Top 10 Movies of 2014

February 13, 2015 RayRay Leave a comment

With the Oscars just around the corner, it seems like a perfect time to provide our own take on the best movies of 2014. Now I’m not really one to base my film tastes on the Oscars, so though I’m posting this around Oscar season, it’s really coming so late into 2015 because I haven’t had the time to write it and I needed to get caught up. After spending a big part of my Winter holiday sitting through hours upon hours of film, I think I’m finally ready to get this thing out there. Before we get started it’s worth noting that I am typically partial to unique horror/thriller films and shy away from the “made for the Oscars” films. Don’t even get me started on The Lego Movie snub…. Haters gonna hate. Let’s go after the jump.

Austin Psych Fest is becoming a pretty big deal, bringing in some incredible bands from all over the globe, not to mention some encouraging the reunion of acts long forgotten by fans. But, let’s not get carried away and forget that the festival is a homegrown fest, born from the ideas of members of The Black Angels and their friends. And, like many an Austinite, they’re a proud bunch, so they’ve made sure the bill always has great locals that will represent our fair city. Below you’ll find the Top 5 Austin Bands playing at this year’s festival, at least in my opinion….and they’re in no particular order Read more
