[Neon Ignition]

On to the second round of the 2013 line up as we cover the rest of early in the year with:

Film of the Year 2013 Redux
Part Two



Which films of 2013 above were the best?

[QualityChimp]

Yes! I've seen some!

The Croods is a family fave here, especially with my daughter.

I really like Iron Man 3. I've mentioned before that Marvel had done a really good job of progressing the character, taking Stark from arrogant weapons maker to someone with glimpses of humility and weakness.
It's an interesting take on the "Extremis" story arc and I thought The Mandarin twist was unexpected and hilarious, especially as I knew it'd wind up some nerds.
Shame they wasted that progression by making him an arse again in Spider-Man and Civil War.

Oblivion was a nice surprise. It's a nice little sci-fi puzzler that echoes the smaller-budget Moon to some degree, but my word, what a gorgeous film!

The Purge was great and had a great vibe like Assault on Precinct 13 and The Warriors.
Might watch this again as the first two were great.

Now You See Me was a fun little heist caper like Ocean's 11, but I really need to see the sequel.
