2013 was a year full of great movies

There were so many movies that I loved last year and there's still some that I haven't got around to watching yet. You'll notice there's been a lot of sequels released this year and I've enjoyed them. Here is a list of all the fantastic movies that I loved and if you haven't seen any of them yet then get on it!

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Needless to say I loved this movie. I am a HUGE fan of Lord of the Rings and I will snatch up any chance there is to be in this world again.

 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

In one word: Flawless. Catching Fire was so amazing and true to the novel, I can not wait to see what they do with the next two movies. Good for people who may not have read the books. 

We're the Millers

So hilarious and crude at times but it made it all the more funny. I was laughing through the whole movie. I love Jennifer Aniston and she is gorgeous in this, she's done quite a few good comedies lately. 

World War Z

Such an epic movie, so suspenseful! I hate zombies but this wasn't the usual gore zombie movie, it was more of a quiet scary film with an interesting storyline.  

This is the end

This was an unexpected awesome movie. I had heard nothing about this and was surprised at how funny, scary and weird this was. A real favourite and what movie with the Backstreet Boys in it isn't awesome?! 

The Conjuring

WOW this was scary! One of the scariest movies I've seen and I've seen a lot. I hear there is going to be a sequel and I can't wait for that!

Star Trek: Into Darkness

Benedict Cumberbasch kicks butt as a bad guy, he is becoming a favourite guy of mine. I really liked the first Star Trek movie and this one goes one up on that. I don't think I'll ever be a trekkie but I enjoy these movies. 

Elysium

I was surprised by this one. I didn't know much about it and found myself really enjoying the story.  A dystopian type movie with Matt Damon at his best.

Oblivion

Tom Cruise is a great actor, may be a bit of a weirdo in real life but I love his movies. Another dystopian movie that makes you think and appreciate life. 

Epic

What a cute movie. It was funny and had a great message, some really good voice acting and the actors chosen for the characters was great casting. Lots of familiar voices. 

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

Magical fun and very uplifting. Made me believe in magic, all actors were marvelous in this. Jim Carey is quite strange though... 

Iron Man 3

Is this the end of Iron Man? Robert Downey Jnr is back and so is the suit or should I say suits. There's more laughs, action and evil in this installment of the loved iron man franchise.

The Hangover: Part 3

A great wrap up to this triology, the second wasn't all that great so I was hoping this was better than that. It was and so many funny moments with all our favourite people. 

Warm Bodies

Another zombie movie on my favourites list?! Yes, but it wasn't gory either and there was some romance thrown in. Haven't read the book but want to now. 

Monsters University

We get to see Mike as a child and he is so adorable! This wasn't as good as Monsters Inc. but I still thought it was good. The story was little predictable but it was a great way to show us how Sulley & Mike became best friends. 

Oz the Great and Powerful

The wizard of Oz is a favourite movie of mine and it was lovely to see more of wonderful land of Oz. Lovely colours used and a fantastic story.

What movies are on your favourites list from last year?

Awesome year of movies

So the long awaited movie has been released "The Hobbit" hit the cinemas in Australia on Boxing Day and unfortunetly I couldn't see it Boxing Day as I was with family but I went to see it the next day and I'm hooked, My Lord of the Rings craze is back!

I thought I'd share some movies that were released last year and I thought were awesome!

 Rock Of Ages

This movie was me all over! 80's rock musical with my newest girl crush Julianne Hough as the main character. I have watched this multiple times since I saw it at the movies.

The Hunger Games

One of my favourite books I read last year was also one of my favourite movies. I think they did a great job with the movie adaptation and can't wait to see the others in the trilogy.

Pitch Perfect

Another musical type movie which was hilarious and the music blew me away. Rebel Wilson is at her best, great casting!

21 Jump Street

Jonah Hill is the bomb in this, he is so funny! And then there's Canning Tatum, who doesn't love him. I've never seen the original with Johnny Depp but this one had me in stitches!

The Watch

I had no idea what this movie was about but it had me laughing so hard that my cheeks hurt! 

Putting these four actors together was pure genius!

The Avengers

Bringing together some awesome superheroes in this action packed movie did it for me. 

I've seen each of the superheroes own movies and enjoyed all of those also. Plus I get to see two hot Chris' in one movie.

The Amazing Spiderman

Another Marvel superhero, this reboot was so awesome! There was lots of story, action and romance, I loved every second of it! The villian was also wicked plus Andrew Garfield fits the suit well ;-)

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

This was another one that came from left centre, I had no idea what to expect and what I got was awesome-ness! Abraham Lincoln fighting Vampires, how cool is that! Lots of slo-mo and action that packs a punch... in the teeth {pun intended}

This Means War

Another great movie that meshes comedy, action & romance into one great ball and throws it at our faces! This is one for the girlfriends to see with their boyfriends.

The Dark Knight Rises

Batman is back and with some awesome baddies! Catwoman & Bane, two truly wicked characters from the Batman series. And Anne Hathaway as Catwoman is what makes the movie!

Skyfall

Daniel Craig is back as Bond, James Bond. As always with Bond there's fast cars, fast paced and fast women. What's not to love about Bond?

Ted

This is one of those movies where you think 'a talking crude teddy bear, yeah right lame!' but actually it was watchable, VERY watchable! It actually has a good storyline and makes sense, plus it has "Family Guy" humor so you can't beat that :D

Men in Black 3

The guys are back for another alien packed ride. I loved the first one and thought number two was ok but this one really surprised me. A fantastic storyline and after a few parts that weren't all that funny, the humor picked up again and I found myself really liking it!

So that's it for now, Are there any movies that you really enjoyed last year?

 

There and Back again...

Since the release of "The Fellowship of the Ring", the first movie in the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, I have been a huge fan. I know I'm not like those people who read the books first and was a fan because I was only 14 when the first movie come out so I hadn't even heard of the books. But that was what started my love for J.R.R Tolkien's world. Now with the release of "The Hobbit" coming ever closer I'm getting excited that I can once again step into this world for another adventure. Below are the two trailers that have been released so far. It gives me shivers watching them.

With about 11 weeks to go til the movie is released, I know my excitement is building.

Are you looking forward to 'The Hobbit'?
