Hello again friends! Today I'm going to talk about the best movies of 2013...with the caveat that these are really just the movies I saw and liked. I mean I didn't see 12 Years a Slave, or Inside Llewyn Davis, or even Gravity. It's not that I won't see them, just maybe not on the big screen. So here are my favorite movies of this year.
1. FROZEN
THIS MOVIE. You guys. It's so great. First off the plot is excellent, I can't remember the last time I was so excited about an unexpected and unexpectedly wonderful ending. Sometimes the messages in Disney movies...I mean you know! Stockholm Syndrome, changing yourself for a guy, etc. But this one, I feel like they finally got over those tropes that are sometimes a little cringeworthy. Anyway, it was amazeballs, and the music is fantastic(if Let It Go doesn't win Best Original Song, I'll do something. Something, I tell you!), and Kristen Bell is my spirit animal.
2. The Way, Way Back
This movie was so hilarious. All movies could benefit from 100% more Sam Rockwell. It was just so funny and heartwarming. The ending was a bit shmeh, but who cares? Not me!
3. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
I didn't even realize what low production values the first movie had until I saw this. But the movie didn't get lost at all in the CG, the focus was always on the characters and the plot. The monkey scene to me was kind of...whatever. But it was much better than the muttations in the first movie. Elizabeth Banks who played Effie did a great fantastic job in this movie also. She was my standout. I know a lot of people are saying Jena Malone was a standout, but honestly I felt like they didn't give her enough screentime to really shine. Anyway, this movie was great. It was all great. Movies can benefit from 100% more Jennifer Lawrence.
4. Iron Man 3
I super enjoyed this movie. Kind of unexpectedly too. I mean I think most trilogy-type franchises start with a great movie, then have a dud in the middle then end on a high note right? I mean LoTR did that. I'm sorry but Two Towers still makes me so ragey even to this day. BUT ANYWAY. Iron Man was great! Guy Pierce is a great bad guy, and the kid! Good job, kid for not making the movie suck! Also, how many great one-liners were there? So many.
5. Star Trek Into Darkness
Because shut up I loved it.
6. Frances Ha
I love Greta Gerwig! Who doesn't, amirite? And as you may have guessed, I love movies that emphasize the importance of non romantic love in people's lives. It's like a best friend love story! It's complicated and you fight a lot, but real best friends are forevs.
7. Now You See Me
This movie was another unexpected joy. It's about MAGIC you guys! MAGIC! But also, really good plot twists and stunts and pacing, and Mark Ruffalo! Movies can benefit from 100% more Mark Ruffalo.
So there you are friends! A list that encompasses the best of 2013(that I watched) and also I think encompasses my personality. Happy Xmas Eve y'all!
