Fall recap time! I can’t guarantee that I have seen all these at this point but I will update this list as I see them. But for now… here are the new releases I was excited about and saw from September, October, and November.
Recapping the Top 5 Most Anticipated Fall 2013 Movies
5. Don Jon
– Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut wasn’t bad at all. It has an interesting premise with some well timed comedic relief. Tony Danza was an absolute delight in this film. I ended up liking a couple movies on my honorable mentions list (Captain Phillips and Dallas Buyers Club) more than this one but overall it didn’t disappoint.
4. Prisoners
– Prisoners was my introduction to the amazing film director that is Denis Villeneuve. The most edge of your seat movie of the season and for good reason. That amazing directing coupled with some great writing and performances from Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal… this movie is more than worthy of its number four spot.
3. The Wolf of Wall Street
