Sooooo... 2013 is almost here and as always, the new year will bring a whole lot of awesome movies with it. Anyone that knows me is aware of my love for the seventh art, therefore, it doesn't come as a surprise when I say that I'm actually really excited about many of them, I mean... I predict a GREAT year for all of us, fellows geeks!
If you're a bookworm, you'll love to know that many famous sequels and book adaptations are hitting the big screen sometime in the next twelve months. Same goes for comic lovers, with at least five renowned and extremely admired superheroes making a comeback for a second/third time... or maybe trying to start all over again. Besides that, we'll also be getting our fair quota of animation; and I think many Sci-fi aficionados will be pleased to know that the USS Enterprise will flying across the galaxy once again.
All of the above doesn't mean, of course, that we won't get to see dramas that will makes us cry or comedies that will also makes us cry, but because of how hard we'll be laughing.
Without further ado, and below the cut, there's a list of the of movies I can't wait to watch in 2013! (Only 25, though, because the list would be endless if it isn't restricted).
