Joe's Films of 2014, #20-11

Or as I call it, the almost the best of the year, but not quite there. And remember, in some cases you could move these up by 5 or down by 5 and I'd be happy; there's a lot of good work in 2014 and sometimes my ranking of one movie over another is purely by momentary preference and could be different next year if you ask me again. So let's check out time loops, Swedish punk and superhero conspiracies after the jump.

Ah, now we start moving into films I can recommend without reservation.  There some science fiction here, some action, some family comedy and also a musical horror movie.  This in some ways was the hardest part of the list to order, since there's good work here though nothing that is that close to making the top of the list.   So get your metal claws on after the jump.

2014 is a bit of an odd year in film.  For the first half, I was convinced this was a down year with very little offer, but then releases (and we’re not even talking Oscar season stuff) started to trickle out and catch my eye and in the end, I think this was a very, very good year with a lot of standout films.  With that said, join me after the jump for the best and worst of 2014.*
