The Year When Hollywood Takes Over..!! (2013)

The 2013 year has been good for Hollywood movies, as we are half way into 2013, this is seeming to be a great year for hollywood movies. These are the 8 movies that, i've seen & i've really loved till now. All the movies are seen by me, already. So, here it goes:


1. Django Unchained

      The Best Movie of 2013, for me so far, some would be thinking that it released in 2012, but i would like to remind you that in India it released in March 2013. As, i only saw Reservoir Dogs of Quentin Tarantino. I will not lie that i only went to see this as it was nominated in Oscars. So, i went to see it & i was totally blown after seeing it. Tremendous acting, Superb Dialogues, Catchy Background Music & Tarantino's Classic Direction, made this movie a worth watch even, when it was close to 3 hours. Th film's plot revolves around slaves, slave trading, mandingo wrestling. The acting, well if you have perfect actors like Jamie Foxx who plays the lead role of "Django", Christopher Waltz as "Dr. King Schultz", Django's aid & a bounty hunter, Leonardo DiCaprio as "Calvin Candie", a mandingo fighter enthusiast & a cruel plantation owner. This is the jouney of Django who goes around with Schultz to bring back his wife back from cruel Calvin Candie. This movie has some of the best action moments in cinematic history, with great story & Tarantino's superb & stylish story telling about "Revenge". Christopher Waltz won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role.




2. The Place Beyond The Pines

       Well, I really didn't know about this movie at all. A friend of mine said that you should see this. So, i downloaded it. And, what i see is then a total superb journey of crime & drama, i've seen in recent times. The cast included all the actors who are superbly talented & have proved their mantle in Hollywood, Ryan Gosling as "Luke Glanton", Bradley Cooper as "Avery Cross" & Eva Mendes as "Romina". The movie is considered to be the one of the most awesomest movies of 2013 so far by every corner of this world. And, yes, it is the most promising movie of this year, with people having no expectations, what they got was like a "treasure" for them.



3. The Great Gatsby

        The only thing i knew about this movie was that it was based upon a nove of the same name by Scott Fitzgerald, written in 1925. But, the only thing that made me want to see this movie were the lead cast "Leonardo DiCaprio" & "Tobey Maguire". Now, who would not want to see these 2 legendary actors in 1 frame. The movie revolves around the life & times of a millionaire "Jay Gatsby" played by DiCaprio & his neighbour "Nick" played by "Tobey Maguire". The movie was not so well-received by the critics but for me, it had some of most awesomest moments that you will see in a movie & also the finest example of using 3D in a movie, not being a superhero or any sci-fi movie, the movie had the best ever moments of 3D you will ever see. Spectacular Sets, Mind-blowing acting by Lead cast & superb music. It is a must-watch.



4. Star Trek: Into Darkness

        The only movie which i wanted to see only when i saw it's teaser. So, This film starts with the USS Enterprise, which has been sent to survey the planet "Nibiru".. the film starts with a promising note with a nicely & superbly built Enterprise...With great action sequences, im looking forward to...Just then, Spock's life is in danger when on the planet Nibiru, the volcano erupts, which exposes Enterprise to whole civilization of that planet & Pike is demoted & reinstated as commanding officer...Section 31 is bombed & we see, Pike attending a meeting on Starfleet.. This is just the beginning of the awesomeness of this movie... Starfleet, is assaulted by air...Resulting in death of PIKE.. They also see the glimpse of the attacker, who mysteriously transports himself, when he is approached...Top Starfleet boss Admiral Marcus, fully aware that the unpredictable Kirk is once again in the Captain’s chair of the Enterprise due to Pike’s demise, dispatches the Enterprise and its crew off to Klingon space to kill Harrison, whom they’ve discovered hiding there..Making matters more tangled still, Admiral Marcus loads a bunch of newfangled, never-before-used photon torpedoes aboard the Enterprise, allegedly for use in battle. Harrison is eventually taken into custody rather than killed. Harrison” is really Khan, a genetically re-engineered Superman with evil and conquest on his mind, albeit for a seemingly valid reason & now the Surprise thing, that will really surprise you is this reboot, is actually based on a reboot itself named Star Trek: Wrath Of The Khan"(which was Awesome as well).. In Action, Into Darkness. Exceeds Wrath Of The Khan. With a surprisingly great ensemble cast, terrific special effects, and generally sure-handed direction by J. J. Abrams, “Star Trek: Into Darkness”..With Great Performances From Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock. Quinto, who acts Strongly, but looks confused at times cozz the film demands it. But, the best performance comes from Benedict Cumberbatch as KHAN. He is the only guy who coluld have portrayed a role like this. Super, Scintillating, Good Action, Good Acting, Awesome Direction.





5. Oblivion

       Some would challenhe this choice of mine, but, according to me this movie was twice better than Iron Man 3. The film revolves around the lives of Jack Harper played by Tom Cruise & Victoria Olsen played by Andrea Riseborough as both overlook drones & all the machines, on the earth in the year 2077. The earth has been destroyed, what remains is in-habitable, who are still fighting with some Scavengers who are still on the earth & making the things worse. But, Jack & Victoria tend to believe that they are the only 2 present on earth but gets shocked when Jack sees that there are more than 500 also present who dress as scavengers & tend to gather things which they need. The journey of Jack, starts from here, to know the truth. The film gathered interests from the audiences with its superb visuals & effects, it was absolutely a visual treat watch this movie by all acpects. Superb Acting by all the cast members, Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough, Olga Kurylenko & Morgan Freeman. With Awesome Twists waiting for you in the 2nd half of the movie, You're in for treat.





6. Mud

        Mud is a 2012 American coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Jeff Nichols. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan, Sam Shepard, and Reese Witherspoon. The film competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. It was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013. After its Cannes premiere, no distributor immediately purchased rights to release the film in the United States. By August 2012, Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions acquired rights to distribute Mud in the United States. In January 2013, Mud screened at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, and the Austin American-Statesman reported, "His modern take on Mark Twain played to an enthusiastic sold-out crowd of more than 500 people".





7. Man Of Steel

         The movie that all we've been waiting for, when the news was out that Superman is gonna return to the big screen & what made it special was the name "Christopher Nolan". The Movie starts from the scene of the birth of Kal-El(Clark Kent/Superman). The First Natural Birth On the Planet "Krypton" in Centuries. As Krypton planet, is on the verge of getting destroyed cozz the core of the place has been de-stabilized. General Zod, the army-general of the army needs "The Codex" to re-build this planet nd get control over Krypton...But, Jor-El(Father Of Kal-El) takes the Codex nd mix his Son's skin cells with codex nd mix it with him nd make him escape in a ship, to planet "Earth", while in a battle with Zod, Jor-El loses his life & Zod is put into Prison or a Black hole for treason & the Krypton is destroyed.. The ship carrying Kal-El, reaches Earth...Jonathan & Martha Kent, adopts Kal-El nd name him "Clark Kent" & is told that, Not to show his other side cozz the world is not yet ready for it. But, in an accident, when the school bus in which Clark & other students, get its tyre burst nd fall into the the river, Clark lifts the bus nd take it out from the River. Superb Scene, then we see, Clark, going places & places to seek the truth about himself. He finally finds out & we see the mighty Superman suit for the first time. Then the journey of a superhero starts..
With superb & mind-blowing effects. The best action scenes i've ever seen..Great Fighting Scenes in mid-air with punches over & over again.. Best Fight Scenes i've seen after such a long time. Awesome performances. Henry Cavill as Superman. looks like a superman in real too with great acting, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, looks grear. Russell Crowe as Jor-El, is superb. Hans Zimmer, does it again with His backgroud scores.. Zack snyder, David Goyer & Chirstopher Nolan, The Deadly Trio, does a magical work in this movie.




8. The Conjuring

   
The Conjuring is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by James Wan. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson star as Ed and Lorraine Warren who were American paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of haunting. Their reports inspired the Amityville Horror. The Warrens come to the assistance of the Perron family (Ron Livingston & Lili Taylor), who are experiencing increasingly disturbing events in their farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island in 1971. The movie has all the freaking that you would love to see, but not experience it in real & it gets more intense when you get ti know that it is a real story. Superb Acting, Story-line, Mind-blowing background score & the whole movie was outstanding & will spook your guts out. The film went on to take $41.5 million during its opening weekend, breaking The Purge's previous record as the biggest opening for an original R-rated horror film. While horror films usually drop at least 50 percent over their second weekend, The Conjuring only dropped 47 percent to $22.2 million.

I just hope to see some of the movies which have released in US & other countries, who are talked to be some of the great movies in recent times..!! Tell me, your favourites of 2013, till now..!!
