Movies to watch in 2013

Mama
Having already seen the movie I can easily claim it is one among the best original horror movie to come out in recent times. Most of the horror movie these days dish out cheap gore to keep people interested but Mama is different. It is worth watching, if you enjoy horror movies. Megan Charpentier is really impressive in her role of Victoria. The ending is a little slack but rest of the movie makes up for good viewing.

Evil Dead
Old wine in new bottle. This is a remake of the original cult classic Evil Dead. I normally don’t enjoy watching remakes but in this case the critics ratings are positive. It would be a nice experience to re-experience some of the memories of the original Evil Dead in a theatre for a change.

Star Trek Into Darkness
First non-horror movie in my list. I wasn’t a fan of Star Trek TV or movie series before watching 2009 Star Trek movie. After watching the first movie of this rebooted series I went on to watch all the episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. Now that I know all the characters in the series I just can’t wait for Star Trek Into Darkness to release. With JJ Adams directing this movie, it has to be good.

The Hangover Part III
The biggest problem with The Hangover Part II was it was almost scene to scene repeat of The Hangover. The situations were the same but the events were different. The problem with that is you can correctly guess the out comes of the scenario which spoils the thrill of watching a movie. Adding The Hangover Part III to the list since I enjoyed the The Hangover.

Man of Steel
You put Superman and Chris Nolan together I would say you have a winner. Unfortunately Chris Nolan is not going to direct this movie. This would be second reboot to the superman film series after the 2006 hit Superman Returns. Hopefully Man of Steel will set a foundation like Batman Begins had laid for this rebooted series.

Now You See Me
The Four Horsemen, a magic super-group led by the charismatic Michael Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), perform a pair of high-tech magic shows, first astonishing audiences by robbing a bank on another continent, and then exposing a white-collar criminal and funneling his millions into the audience members’ bank accounts. The other reason for adding this movie to my list of movies is because Jesse Eisenberg has this talent of adding life to most of the roles he play, whether it is serious or funny.

Monsters University
Monsters University is a prequel to Monster Inc. Set about 10 years before the events of Monsters, Inc. It takes a look at the relationship between Mike and Sulley during their days at Monsters University.

300: Rise of an Empire
When the Battle of Thermopylae (Battle of 300) was fought another battle was going on at the same time. This was a naval battle led by an Athenian. 300: Rise of an Empire will deal with this Naval battle called The Battle of Artemisium. The story would deal with Themistocles a greek politician and a general who had previously fought against Persians in the Battle of Marathon.

The World’s End
If you have seen Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Paul you would know exactly why this movie made it to this list. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost form a deadly team of mass entertainment. Five friends reunite in an attempt to top their epic pub crawl from 20 years earlier unwittingly become humankind’s only hope for survival.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
The Dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf have successfully escaped the Misty Mountains, and Bilbo has gained the One Ring. They all continue their journey to get their gold back from the Dragon, Smaug.

World War Z
Brad Pitt in a zombie horror movie. I never expected a day like this will ever come! As a zombie pandemic traverses the globe, United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) travels the world trying to find a way to stop the pandemic that is defeating armies and collapsing governments.
