2013 was a much slower year in blogging for me but I still managed to read a ton of great books, watched a few great movies and had a blast catching up on my favorite shows. Here are my top favorites from this year.
~The Movies~
I saw many new and old movies this year, while none of them were super dynamite, these ten stick out as ones I did enjoy or found thought provoking.
The Hunger Games- Catching Fire
~I liked CF more than the first movie, I thought they stuck to the book spot on and really loved that Peeta and Katniss had way more chemistry.

Star Trek- Into Darkness
~It could be watching Chris Pine for two hours or the really great action but I loved this.
World War Z
World War Z
First Brad Pitt movie I've liked in years. Nothing like the book {at all} but overall entertaining.
As Cool As I Am
A small Indie movie about a mom and daughter who come of age....simple yet really entertaining to watch and sad, funny, heartbreaking all at the same time...
Ain't Them Bodies Saints
Weird and that is all

Dark Skies
This movie did not get enough attention this year. It was super creepy and twisty...not to mention Keri Russell was fantastic in it. Probably my second favorite this year.
Prisoners
My favorite movie this year was Prisoners, not due to its dark themes but overall the questions it left you with and the really great acting of the characters. I found the subject matter hard as a parent to watch but also thought provoking in the terms of morality and the lengths one will go to defend whats yours.

DeleteYeah for the Americans and Vikings...I watched those too.
ReplyDeleteFrozen, star trek, catching fire :0)
yeah I still watch sister wives because they are a train wreck and yes I am tired of the whining too. Revenge started off good too.
LOL- sister wives just got annoying, Im over the "shock" of them sharing a man
DeleteI've heard a lot about SOA but I haven't seen it. I should try it out. The second Star Trek was awesome and I'm on the waiting list for Prisoners. Oh and the Middle is hysterical. The girl Sue has me on the floor laughing but at the same time I just want to hug her.
