Oscar nominations were announced today, celebrating some of the best films of 2012. But what can we expect in 2013? We’ve got your list of 2013 must see films–one for every month!
JANUARY – Gangster Squad
Two words: Ryan Gosling. I know I won’t be paying attention to the plot, but in case you plan to, the movie is set in 1949 and is about the LA police department's fight to drive the Mafia out of the city.
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Sean Penn
Release date: Jan. 11, 2013
FEBRUARY – Safe Haven
Based on the best-selling Nicholas Sparks’ novel, Safe Haven is a heart-wrenching romance about a girl who moves to a small town but has a big secret–perfect chick flick for girls’ night out! But be warned: it’s probably going to be a cry-fest.
Starring: Josh Duhamel, Cobie Smulders and Julianne Hough
Release date: Feb. 14, 2013
MARCH – Oz: The Great and Powerful
It’s been 70 years since The Wizard of Oz arrived in theaters, and this prequel looks promises to do justice to the original. With an all-star cast and a familiar story, this movie is a must-see.
Starring: James Franco, Mila Kunis and Michelle Williams
Release date: Mar. 8, 2013
APRIL – The Heat
This is my most anticipated movie! Sandra Bullock plays an FBI agent (have we seen this before?), and Melissa McCarthy stars as a Boston cop. Comedy obviously ensues.
Starring: Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy
Release date: Apr. 5, 2013
MAY – The Hangover Part 3
Wolf-Pack fans, here is your most awaited film of 2013! The third installment won’t include a wedding, but, Mike Tyson has already signed on! Who’s he going to punch this time?

JULY – R.I.P.D

AUGUST – The To-Do List
Set in 1993, this film follows Brandy, a high school senior who wants to shed her uptight image before college. She assembles a to-do list of all the “activities” she missed out on in high school. This one is sure to be hilarious and raunchy.

Between this movie and The Heat, 2013 looks like the year of Sandra Bullock (again!). I can’t wait to see these two amazing actors (Bullock and Clooney) in a movie about astronauts!
