Anyway, my favorite movies of the year that I have seen in theaters are A Clockwork Orange, Alien, Aliens, Akira, Escape from New York, and Halloween.

Oh wait, you probably mean movies of 2013.

Then my favorite movie of the year is easily The Hobbit 2 followed by The World's End, Frozen, Thor 2, and Star Trek 2. However, this year was pretty ***** when it came to movies. In fact, most of the best movies came out in the last two months.

I don't know why Gangster Squad gets such a bad wrap, a movie that is just about being pure fun shouldn't be hated. Especially as it was a multiplex film, which are all about mindless popcorn entertainment. It was right at home, and did its job beautifully. I thought Star Trek 2 and Thor 2 were much worse than Gangster Squad.

I also think 2013 was a better year for the independent scene, than the multiplex scene with great movies like The Dirties, Prince Avalanche and Maniac being released which were some of this years highlights for me, moviewise.
