Don Jon's Addiction - (Joseph Gordon Levitt directing and starring with Scarlet Johanson)

Gravity - (Alfonso Curan, George Cloony and Sandra Bullock in space)

Knight of Cups - (Terrance Malick, Christian Bale, Natalie Portman) AND To the Wonder (Terrance Malick, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Javier Bardem, Olga Kurylenko)

The Counselor - (Ridley Scott, Bradd Pitt, Michael Fassbender)

The Wolf of Wall Street - (Martin Scorsese, Leonardo Dicaprio)

Twelve Years a Slave - (Steve McQueen, Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender)

Yeah, definitely check out Rubber. The trailer makes it look like a silly horror movie parody where a tire, rather than a person or a monster, is going around killing people. But there's sooooooo much more to it than that.

 

In this order

Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Lords of Salem
G.I. Joe: Retaliation
World War Z
Pacific Rim
Man of Steel
The Wolverine
Sin City 2
Gravity

 

1.) Oz
2.) Man of Steel
3.) The Counselor
4.) (tie) Knight of Cups/film formerly-titled-Lawless
5.) Star Trek Into Darkness
6.) Stoker
7.) The Great Gatsby
8.) Upstream Color
9.) Only God Forgives
10.) Saving Mr. Banks

Also: Ain't Them Bodies Saints, Lore, The Grandmasters, The Assassin, To the Wonder, The Spectacular Now, Spring Breakers, 56 Up.

2013 is shaping up to be another great year in film.

 

In no particular order, and I'm sure this will be quite different from the list come the end of the year (though it be might interesting to look back on it). The first five I'm definitely excited about, the other five I'm cautiously looking forward to...

Iron Man 3
Thor 2
Star Trek Into Darkness
Gangster Squad
A Good Day to Die Hard

G.I Joe Retaliation
Fast and Furious 6
Man of Steel
Kick Ass 2
The Lone Ranger

Also, just to add another perspective, I hated Rubber. Awful movie, painfully boring, made some neat observations but nothing ground breaking that others hadn't done before. A horror flick about a killer tire would have been much less painful.

 

The trailer for To the Wonder is absolutely wonderful. But Tree of Life also had a great trailer and I wasn't huge on the film itself, so I'm cautious.

 

My top 10 most anticipated:

1.) Man of Steel
2.) Gravity
3.) Elysium
4.) Star Trek Into Darkness
5.) Iron Man 3
6.) The Counselor
7.) The Wolf of Wall Street
8.) Inside Llewyn Davis
9.) Thor: The Dark World
10.) Only God Forgives

Others I'm Looking Forward To: Catching Fire, Kick-Ass 2, Nightingale, Place Beyond the Pines, Much Ado About Nothing, The Wolverine, 12 Years A Slave

 

John Dies At The End is already my favorite film. It is wonderful, funny, original, screwball, and cool...

 

A top 10 eh? Alright, I'll go with:

Man of Steel
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Iron Man 3
Oz: The Great and Powerful
Thor: The Dark World
The Wolverine
Star Trek into Darkness
Pacific Rim
Gravity
Elysium
