Films in 2013 I Can't Wait to See

I love films, and there are a few that I am really looking forward to seeing this year.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

I saw The Hunger Games twice in the cinema last year and loved it so much that I ended up reading the trilogy twice (having not properly read a book in yeeears – so bad, I know).  I loved the books even more and now cannot wait for the next movie installment of the trilogy. Plus, as you know, I'm a huge Jennifer Lawrence fan (actually triggered by The Hunger Games movie), making the wait even more difficult!

(Spoiler coming up!)

Basically, Catching Fire continues Katniss's story after winning the 74^th Annual Hunger Games in the first book, but not in the way that the organisers want, putting her in a very dangerous place and them in a very powerful one. She has to fight again, all the while unaware that many of the others have a much bigger battle in mind…

UK Release Date: 22^nd November

The Bling Ring

After my big Hunger Games Trilogy obsession, I decided that it was about time I should read all the Harry Potter books, so I read through them all, watching the film adaptation after each book. This resulted in a bit of a girl-crush on Emma Watson which didn't last too long, but still makes me want to see her performance in the movie of the Bling Ring – the nickname for the group of (mainly) teenagers who stole somewhere around $3million's-worth of goods from a bunch of 'A-list' celebs including Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. I like the idea of the story itself being adapted into a film too, even if it is unfortunately based on a true story!

UK Release Date: 5th July

Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World

My sister and friend Adam got me into the Marvel films about the Avengers, so I've seen them all now, and love Avengers Assemble, so naturally I am looking forward to seeing these. Iron Man and Thor are my fave characters out of the lot (Robert Downey Jr. is fantastic, and I could listen to Chris Hemsworth's voice all day), so I wonder where their stories will go next. Obviously, as Iron Man 3 is out in just a few days, I've seen the trailers, and it looks AWESOME. Can't wait to see the full thing.

UK Release Date: 26^th April and 30^th October

These are the main ones, but here's also a quick list of other possibilities I might fancy:

The Great Gatsby (didn't like the book, but Baz Luhrmann's one of my favourite directors, so I’m willing to give it a go!); The Hangover Part 3; Despicable Me 2; Monsters University; Kick Ass 2; and This is the End (looks hilarious, and it's a great concept).

Which films are you keen to see this year? Let me know if you have any other suggestions! I'm trying to widen the genres I watch, so I'm open to anything! Well, except horror! :)
