Favorite Movies of 2013!

Hey guys! I decided to do a whole 'Favorites of 2013' series of posts, starting with my favorite movies! I also included my least favorite movies of 2013 and some from 2012 that deserved honorable mentions. I'll also be giving a rating out of 10 on each movie.

Let's start with my favorite:

The Kings of Summer - such an AMAZING movie, so unique. One of those movies where you walk out of the theatre feeling satisfied and you just want to tell everyone to watch it. Very relatable for teenagers, Nick Robinson (who is also in ABC Family's Melissa and Joey, one of my favorite shows) is absolutely adorable and you can't help but feel for his character. I highly highly recommend, 9/10 stars.

Fast and Furious 6 - I've had a crush on Paul Walker for as long as I can remember, his passing was very hard on me, but getting to the movie, behind Fast 2 & 5, number 6 is my 3rd favorite of the series (3 doesn't even deserve a mention, 2 huge thumbs down). Not much to say about this movie, they brought Letty back and got into some crazy shit, 8/10.

The English Teacher - absolutely adored this movie. The fact that two of my favorite actors, Lily Collins and Michael Angarano, just made it that much better. Really cute storyline, funny and relateable, I'm terrible at reviewing movies sorry o.o, 7/10

Frozen - adorable, songs are so catchy, feel good movie. Good movie for literally every age group, my boyfriend's friends even loved it. 7/10

Jackass: Bad Grandpa & This is the End -  two very different movies, both absolutely hilarious. Full of crude humor, sometimes over the top. Definitely recommend seeing these, you will not stop laughing. 7/10 for both.

Star Trek Into Darkness & Iron Man 3 - figured I'd put these together because they're sort of in the same category in my brain. Both series are AMAZING, very sad the 3rd is the final Iron Man movie, and Chris Pine is sexy as hell. 7/10 for both.

Honorable mention: Delivery Man - One of the only Vince Vaughan movies I've enjoyed in a very long time, doesn't follow the typical Vince Vaughan movie storyline. I was hesitant about seeing this but I'm glad I did, definitely a feel good, pick me up kind of movie. 6/10.

Movies that didn't come out in 2013 but that I thought deserved an honourable mention:

Stuck In Love - favorite movie OF ALL TIME. I cannot say enough good things about this movie, Lily Collins is brilliant, Nat Wolff is brilliant, Greg Kinnear is brilliant, Logan Lerman is brilliant, Jennifer Conelly is brilliant, Liana Liberato is brilliant. A++++++++ cast. Movie is written amazingly, definitely a very artsy fartsy movie. Lily Collins' monologue in the beginning of the movie is one of my favorite of all time, I even have it memorized. 10/10. (Actually like 100000000/10)

Spring Breakers - I've heard so many mixed reviews on this movie, you definitely have to look at it more like a piece of art than as a sit down and enjoy movie that you feel good about. I didn't have high expectations for this movie so my mind was absolutely blown. 8/10

Least favorite movies of 2013:

Man Of Steel - was so let down by this movie, did not enjoy my viewing experience at all, I spent most of the time sitting there thinking "Really? Is this a joke? It gets better right?" It didn't get better. It got worse. Much worse. Hard to follow and just generally bad. But hey, my friend seemed to enjoy, though it was the first superhero movie she had ever seen. 3/10 (added 2 stars because Henry Cavill is a hottie)

Now You See Me - A+ cast, F movie. Had high expectations for this, disappointing that such an amazing cast made such a shitty movie. But then again, Sam enjoyed it so maybe there's something there I didn't see. Hard to follow, generally boring. Some cool special effects. Basically just a stupid movie. 2/10.

The Internship - another movie I had high expectations for, mainly because Dylan O'Brien is fantastic. Opened my eyes up to how AWESOME Google headquarters is. That was probably the main pull to get people to see the movie, only good part was when they were in the strip club. The rest was crap. Typical Vince Vaughan movie. 4/10 (added a star because Dylan O'Brien, nuff said)

Syrup - don't waste your time on this movie, very long and very bad. Don't even want to talk about it. Amber Heard is hot, that's all. 0/10

The Mortal Instruments - SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU LILY, movie was terrible, the whole story line of the characters falling in love was ridiculously stupid. Couldn't even finish the movie. 1/10.

Do you agree/disagree with my ratings? What were your favorite and least favorite movies of 2013? What would you recommend I check out? Please leave a comment below I love reading them!
