Top Ten Looking Forward to in 2014

I've done Past with the post-mortem of my anticipation list, I've had Present with this year's top ten titles, so here's Yet-To-Come with a peak across the next twelve months.  I'm pretty sure I'm not overlooking something really obvious this time, although there are a few I might have had on here (like Max Landis' Frankenstein) if I was more certain if they're coming in 2014 or 15.  (Hell, I've already started work on 2015's list as a result.)  Once again, it was a tough choice, so sorry The Monuments Men, The LEGO Movie and The Woman in Black: Angel of Death.

Top Ten Movies of 2013

Time once again to go over all the films I've seen this year, and consider which ones held up best, and chances are I'll revisit in later years.  Note that's "films I've seen", there's a few I have heard great things about, but alas haven't gotten to see yet (such as The Act of Killing, although I've heard that one's pretty tough to sit through).  Last year's list would have included A Royal Affair if I'd seen it in time, so this is nothing like definitive.  With that in mind, let's jump in!

Movie Highlights of 2013

Part two of my look back at 2013 at the movies.  There has been some great stuff out this year, my list could have been at least a top twenty, but I'm worried I'd just wear my keyboard away into nothingness if I rant about everything I loved. So let's have a trailer reel, along with links to reviews I've done of some of these!

Top Ten Looked Forward to Movies of 2013 - How did they stand up?

2013 is wrapping up, so it's time to take a look at my year of going to the movies.  This time last year I did a blog post wherein I discussed my ten (technically eleven) most looked forward to movies of the year.  Now let's see whether they were worth the wait.  To save repeating myself, I'm only going to talk about the titles that didn't end up in my final top ten of the year.

Sherlock - The Empty Hearse Spoiler Free Review (Plus a bit about The Tractate Middoth).

So I got to see a special preview of the first episode of Sherlock Season 3 at the BFI yesterday.  In attendance at a Q&A afterwards was the director Jeremy Lovering, producer Sue Virtue, showrunners Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (Who wrote this episode) and stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, being asked questions by writer Caitlin Moran.  I'll let you finish the rounds of "you lucky bastard" before I continue after the break.

As good a look as my phone's camera could allow
