Most Anticipated Films of 2013

Only included are films with release dates





Before Midnight (2013) (dir: Richard Linklater)

My most anticipated film of 2013. Early reviews at Sundance have been mostly positive...





The Great Gatsby (2013) (dir: Baz Luhrmann)

Currently reading the book...





Frances Ha (2012) (dir: Noah Baumbach)

One of my favorite contemporary directors. Glowing festival reviews...





Stories we Tell (2012) (documentary) (dir: Sarah Polley)

From what I've read, a very personal story about Polley's own family...





The Bling Ring (2013) (dir: Sofia Coppola)

If the movie is not for me, at least I'll have another Sofia Coppola soundtrack to obsess over, hopefully...






Gravity (2013) (dir: Alfonso Cuarón)

His last outing Children of Men (2006) didn't impress me to the degree it did other cinephiles. I'm still curious, though.





Night Train to Lisbon (2013) (dir: Bille August)

Loved the book, will watch despite the director of this adaptation is very hit and miss.





Only God Forgives (2013) (dir: Nicolas Winding Refn)

Drive, need I say more...





Ender's Game (2013) (dir: Gavin Hood)

If there's time, I'll read the award-winning book during the year. Considered one of the best sci-fi novels of the 80s. The movie is out this autumn. It is however labeled young adult literature, so will that be a stumbling block in my case?





12 Years A Slave (2013) (dir: Steve McQueen)

I expect another powerful film with memorable performances from the director of Hunger (2008) and Shame (2011)





The Worlds End (2013) (dir: Edgar Wright)

Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and now this film as the third part of so-called "Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy". ha-ha. Kieslowski must be rolling in his grave.





Mud (2012) (dir: Jeff Nichols)

From the up-and-coming director of Take Shelter (2011) and Shotgun Stories (2007).





The Grandmaster (2013) (dir: Wong Kar-Wei)

About time we had a new Wong Kar-Wei film, and although martial arts is not usually my thing, I'll see it for the characters.





The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) (dir: Peter Jackson)

I feel I ought to watch it on the big screen...not the same on TV

Zero Dark Thirty (2012)
Compliance (2012)
Liberal Arts (2012)
John Dies at the End (2012)
