Some movies in the rest of 2013 that I’m looking forward to. If it didn’t make the list, it doesn’t seem worth my time or I missed it.

Date it’s released in theaters – Title – DVD or theater-worthy - Description

3/22 - Olympus has Fallen - Theater? - It looks like a classic action film. Die Hard done right.

3/28 – G.I. Joe: Retaliation – DVD - It’s a sequel to The Rise of Cobra, which was so-so and this looks like more action.

4/5 – The Company You Keep – DVD - A thriller around a Weather Underground activist whose identity has been found out.

4/12 – 42 – DVD - The story of Jackie Robinson. Looks good but I’ll probably wait until it’s on DVD.

4/19 – Oblivion – DVD - Tom Cruise in one of the few “Alien war ravaged the Earth”-themed movies this year.

4/26 – Pain & Gain – DVD - Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson in this Michael Bay directed film about bodybuilders in an extortion ring.

5/3 – Iron Man 3 – Theater – The third in the awesome series and Avengers. He gets Extremis and fights Mandarin.

5/17 – Star Trek Into Darkness – Theater – The first of the Star Trek movies by JJ Abrams blew me away.

5/24 – The Hangover Part III – DVD – The first two were hilarious, pop culture hits. I can’t miss the last one.

5/31 – Now You See Me – DVD – FBI versus bank robbing illusionists. Count me in!

5/31  - The Purge – DVD – Sounds interesting enough. A family must protect themselves during a 12-hour government-sanctioned free-for-all thanks to prison overcrowding.

6/7 – After Earth – DVD – Will Smith and son on Earth 1000 years after everybody else left. Seems like sink or swim potential.

6/14 – Man of Steel – Theater – The next Superman movie with Zack Snyder as director. This could be what launches a Justice League movie series for DC.

6/21 – Monsters University – Theater – A prequel to Pixar’s Monsters Inc. that shows where it all began. Pixar is going the extra mile to make it belieavable…

6/21 – World War Z – Theater – Brad Pitt as UN employee trying to stop the Zombie pandemic.

6/28 – The Heat – DVD – Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy play FBI agent and Boston cop that are partnered up.

6/28 – White House Down – DVD – Channing Tatum in the same premise as Olympus Has Fallen.

7/3 – The Lone Ranger – DVD – The classic Lone Ranger comes back from Disney.

7/3 – Despicable Me 2 – DVD – The sequel to the previous Dreamworks Animation.

7/12 – Pacific Rim – DVD – Giant mechs face off against aliens.

7/12 – Grown Ups 2 – DVD – The sequel to Adam Sandler and other comedians reunion film.

7/19 – R.I.P.D. – DVD – Ryan Reynolds didn’t do so swell as space police Green Lantern. We’ll see if he’s better as an undead cop.

7/26 – The Wolverine – Theater? – The spin-off from the X-men just keeps going. First Class recovered from Last Stand’s flop. Will The Wolverine redeem Origins?

8/2 – 300: Rise of an Empire – DVD – A prequel to 300 which was action-packed and cinematically pleasing.

8/9 – Elysium – DVD – Matt Damon in another ruined-Earth film.

8/9 – Planes – DVD – Pixars sequel to Cars and Cars 2 takes to the skies. Cars 2 was a bit dull but perhaps Planes will be a step in the right direction.

8/16 – Kick-Ass 2 – DVD – Kick-Ass came in to bring superheroes to normal people. Will the sequel improve its legacy or ruin it? Jim Carrey’s role says improve.

9/27 – The Tomb – DVD – Sylvester Stallone in a Prison Break-themed movie.

10/4 – Gravity – DVD – Astronauts attempt to return to Earth after debris hits the shuttle.

11/1 – Ender’s Game – DVD – Based on Orson Scott Card’s novel, a gifted child is prepared for future invasion after, you guessed it, horrific alien war.

11/8 – About Time – DVD – Time Traveler’s Wife meets Groundhogs day, maybe?

11/8 – Thor: The Dark World – Theater – Thor was my least favorite of the movies leading to Avengers (not counting Ed Norton’s Hulk) but it’s still an ok ride.

11/22 – The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – Theater – I read the first book and liked the first movie. Will I read the second book in time?

12/13 – The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug – DVD – I read the book but didn’t see An Unexpected Journey and didn’t hear that much good about it.

12/25 – Jack Ryan – DVD – Another Tom Clancy novel turned into a movie. I’ve liked some so we’ll see how this turns out.

12/25 – 47 Ronin – DVD – A band of samurai set out to avenge their master in the 18th century with Keanu Reeves.

12/25 – The Secret Life of Walter Mitty – DVD – I liked the story when I read it in high school English class. We can see how it translates to film.

Unknown – Jobs – The story of Steve Jobs with Ashton Kutcher was delayed from April 19th for more time to advertise the film.
