HAPPY 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In honor of the new year, I have decided to make a list of the top 13 movies I am looking forward to this year! Here they are...
13. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters- Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is just one of numerous supernatural action movie “re-envisionings” on the horizon, and it features rising stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the adult versions of the famous fairy tale siblings, who are now highly-skilled professional bounty hunters.
12. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2- Cloudy 2 picks up soon after the events of the first film with the town of Swallow Falls in dire need of a clean-up crew. Live Corp must clean up the mess left by the FLDSMDFR without the knowledge the machine is still pumping out creations – like talking pickles, a strawberry named Barry, and a “giant, french-fry-legged bacon cheesespider, which lords over the abandoned town like a massive cholesterol-spiking tarantula.”
11. Now You See Me- Now You See Me revolves around the exploits of The Four Horsemen – a group of magicians renowned for their hi-tech shows and mind-boggling stunts – brought to life by Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco. However, these gifted con artists scale new heights when they pull off a stunt that involves exposing a white-collar criminal, ‘magically’ funneling his illicit millions of dollars from his Paris vault and showering their audience with the cash results.
10. One Direction 3D Concert Movie- Yes yes, I am a fangirl. Starrting Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik. Nuff Said
09. OZ: The Great and Powerful- Oz the Great and Powerful, from director Sam Raimi, follows the life of Oscar Diggs (James Franco), an ambitious circus magician who is swept away to the Land of Oz. Following his arrival in the faraway place, Oscar finds himself at the center of a power struggle between the Oz witches, Glinda (Michelle Williams), Theodora (Mila Kunis), and Evanora (Rachel Weisz), that could spell doom for the creatures and people of Oz. Not knowing who to trust, Oscar must find his own path in the mysterious land – a path that will prepare him for his role as the iconic Wizard of Oz.
08. Iron Man 3-Iron Man 3 pits genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist Tony Stark (Iron Man) against the Mandarin, an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed by his mysterious antagonist, he embarks on a dangerous quest to find those responsible. His journey will test his character at every turn. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
07. Monsters University-Monsters University, Pixar Animation Studios’ long-awaited prequel to 2001′s Monsters, Inc., takes viewers back in time before James P. “Sulley” Sullivan (John Goodman) and Michael “Mike” Wazowski (Billy Crystal) formed the most successful “scarer” team in Monsters, Inc. history. The film chronicles the pair’s Monsters University origins, where 18-year old Sulley and Mike first meet and become competitive rivals. However, as the two monsters go one eyed head-to-furry head, a larger dilemma forces them together – forging a lifelong friendship and setting the stage for their future adventures.
06. Thor: The Dark Worlds- Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.
05. Star Trek: Into Darkness-
Star Trek Into Darkness is being billed as an “action thriller” in which the crew of the Enterprise finds an unstoppable force of terror inside Starfleet that has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving Earth in a state of crisis.
Captain Kirk has a personal score to settle, and leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. The crew is propelled into an epic chess game of life and death – love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices will have to be made for the only family James Kirk has left: his crew.
04. Man of Steel- In this new take on Superman’s origin story, young journalist Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) – who came to Earth as a child from Krypton – has trouble fitting in with his secret superpowers. Questioning his purpose in life, Kent is forced into action when it comes time to protect those in need, becoming the hero we all know as Superman, built by the values set upon him by parents Martha and Jonathan Kent who adopted him as an otherworldly orphan.
03. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters- Percy must save “Camp Half-Blood” the safe haven where demigods are protected from evil by magic barriers. Someone has poisoned the barriers, so it’s up to Percy and Co. to venture into “The Sea of Monsters” to find the mythical Golden Fleece to save the camp.
02. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire-
After several months, another political event looms and Katniss has to pose for wedding pictures. She's been gathering clues that many districts are rebelling and shares it with Haymitch. Before they can do much about it, though, they receive strange news. The next Hunger Games are announced, a special version called the Quarter Quell. The Quells celebrate anniversaries and are extra gnarly versions of regular Games. In this one, the 75th Games, former winners will have to re-enter the arena. This means Katniss has to go back and risk almost certain death for the second time.
Katniss does what any normal person would do: she goes into hysterics. She and Peeta both go to see Haymitch and they all commiserate. Two out of the three of them are going back to the arena. Katniss makes Haymitch promise he'll help her save Peeta's life this time around.

Les Miserables
~Fight~Dream~Hope~Love~
If you love musicals like I do, chances are you are going to LOVE Les Miserables. Hugh Jackman, best known for his role in the X-MEN series, brought the character Jean Valjean to life in this production. Jackman's character Jean Valjean becomes free from slavery in the early moment of the movie. The officer granting Valjean his freedom is portrayed by the New Zealand native, Russell Crowe. The officer named Javert, assigns Jean Valjean, aka 24601, to parole. After Monsieur Valjean breaks his parole he, with help from God, finds a new way of living. Many years later, Javert finds Jean Valjean and is set to sentance him for breaking his parole. Jean comes across one of his former factory workers and takes her to get help. As Fantine (Anne Hathaway) is dying, Valjean agrees to take care of Cosette, Fantine's daugher. As soon as he takes the child under his protection, he begins running from Javert, dreading the thought of becoming a slave once more. When Cosette (Amanda Seyfried) is grown, she falls in love with Marius (Eddie Redmayne) who is a leader in the French Revolution. I give the musical Les Miserables a POP!!!!! It was a story of redemption and mercy, and they did beautifuly with the production. You should really check Les Mis out! :)
