The year is far from over. With a long list of movies scheduled to release this year, Metrolife finds out which are the most awaited ones.
Quite a number of action films are in store for us this year.

Tomji Verghese, a short film director from Cochin, pays a visit to the theatre as often as possible to keep close to his passion — films.
’I’m looking forward to the next ‘Transformers’ movie. I’m fond of all genres but action is my favourite,” he reveals.
‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’, ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ and ‘The Expendables 3 are the other awaited action films.

‘Spongbob Squarepants 2’ and ‘Tinker Bell’ and ‘The Pirate Fairy’ have been scheduled to release later this year.
Professional dancers and friends, Latha and Pia, are poles apart in their taste but click with each other nonetheless.
“I’m open to all kinds of movies. It’s more about the experience for me. She is more picky though,” says Pia, grinning at her friend.
“I love comedy but am not a fan of drama. Simplistic movies suit my taste more,” explains Latha.
