Reesa's Movie List for 2013

It's been a tough year for me, so my movie list isn't quite as indulgent as it's been in the past. There's a few remarkable movies, but for the most part, and perhaps it's just my state of mind this year, I'm just finding it hard to be enthusiastic. Hoping 2014 will bring us better entertainment and stop dumbing down with straight to video. There's something magical about sitting in a dark theater and letting the story, performances, music and the filmmaker vision take us on a journey that will stay in our psyche for years to come.

This year my favorite films are (and not in any particular order):
12 Years a Slave
American Hustle
Gravity
Captain Phillips
All is Lost
Much Ado About Nothing
Star Trek: Into Darkness
Starbuck
World War Z
Wolf Children
7 Boxes
Twenty Feet From Stardom
