10 films of 2013

being the movie fanatic that I am, I figured id make a list of the 10 movies I obsessed over this year. now, there are some that didn't make the list because i haven't seen them yet (those movies are: The Desolation of Smaug, Saving Mr. Banks, Her, The Wolf of Wall Street and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty). And im certain they would all make the list once ive seen them (which im sure will be after New Years). Heres my top 10 movies! All recommend, of course!



10. Captain Phillips : This was insane anxiety throughout the whole film. The fact that its based on a true story is what makes it more interesting and believable. Tom Hanks never seizes to amaze me!

9. Gravity : speaking of anxiety.. haha.. yeah, this film probably won that award. I got to see it in 3D (which im not too fond of but I wouldn't have seen it any other way with this one!). The fact that it had only 2 actors, the effects and simplicity of something so real is pretty impressive. This was a really good film!

8. This is the End : I think this movie was pretty brilliant. taking celebrities as they are and filming this intense situation. its a genius comedy. the story took me a little bit by surprise and some things were a little heavy (haha) but I didn't take it seriously (its a movie!) and it was just full on hilarious!

7. Fast and Furious 6 : been a Fast and Furious fan since the beginning but didn't really like ALL films. I think the first, five and this one was the best. Fast 6 was a really good fun/action film. I laughed and I gasp! (RIP Paul).

6. Thor the Dark World : I got to see this one 2 times in the theater :) so yeah, of course this would make the list. I actually favorite this film over the first one. Mainly because theres is just much more going on. I also love the fact that Loki had this on-going humor. There were some things I wasn't too fond of in the film but overall I think it was very entertaining. it also reminded me a bit of Star Wars, you can comment if you're interested in that part. haha.

5. Frozen : this movie. oh my. this movie. I thought this movie was just lovely and hilarious! more hilarious than anything. I loved the character of Ana. They made her character very relatable to ton of girls (i.e. me haha). I loved her awkwardness. Oh and Olaf the snowman.. one of the best characters ever made. though I didn't fancy the music so much, this film is probably one of the best animation films ive seen.

4. Monsters University : I waited for MU for so dang long. the wait was SO worth it. I was not disappointed one bit. the animation was incredible! the music.. oh my! and the humor.. just. YES. i just cant get over the quality of the film. MU has become my top favorite animation films.

3. Hunger Games Catching Fire : every time i would see the trailer for this film id get serious goosebumps. So you can probably only imagine how i felt watching the entire film. i love the first film but this one was just truly amazing. its one of the best films ive ever seen. i told everyone that my anxiety was so bad, that i almost threw up. haha. its true. i was either going to vomit or walk out cause i couldn't handle it. its just that good of a film. haha.

 2. Star Trek Into Darkness : never was i a Trekkie fan until i saw the trailer for the first Star Trek film (directed by J.J. Abrams). i wanted to see it so bad which was really weird. So, i saw it and completely fell in love. i was one of the geeks that got all super giggly and excited when Into Darkness came out. J.J. Abrams is just a genius. every film he takes on is just incredible! The acting, music, humor, effects and action in this film was full on fantastic! One of my favorites!

1. The Worlds End : Edgar Wright fits the genius category with Abrams. Huge fan of his work and (again) he did not disappoint with this film. Ive always admired the creativity Wright, Pegg and Frost have. To me, theyre comedic masterminds. The Worlds End was one of the funniest films ive ever seen. So random with brilliant humor, beer and alien robots. haha. Happy that it just fits so well with the other Cornetto films.

that's my top 10, id like to know yours!
leave me a comment and ill be sure to check out some more films! :)
