The critical and commercial successes of The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook have made David O. Russell is a major name to look for in awards season now. American Hustle will be one of the major contenders this winter and the number one reason is that it features one hell of a cast made up of Russell regulars Bale, Cooper, Lawrence and Adams. The Abscam Sting of the 1970s is a juicy story and, judging from the trailer, this cast and crew is going to make a winner out of it.

We got a few small looks at the future foes of the X-Men at Comic-Con, but this newly released viral video is a plug for Trask Industries, the company founded by Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), creator of the sentinels. How big the finished products will look in Bryan Singer‘s X-Men: Days of Future Past isn't certain yet, but there appears to be a discrepancy between the size of the sentinel in the video and the sentinels in the photos from the Trask Industries site.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is scheduled to hit theatres May 23, 2014.

You’re bound to be excited by the prospect of some of the great sequels that are due to hit the big screen over the remainder of 2013 if you love film, and probably even if you don’t.
First up is Monsters University the eagerly awaited sequel to Monsters Inc. Billy Crystal and John Goodman return to voices of Mike and Sulley but, despite the sequel hitting the screens 12 years after the original, Hollywood’s two favourite animated monsters appear younger than before. That’s because audiences are getting the chance to see how Mike and Sulley first met at university whilst taking Scaring Degrees – what’s not to like!
X-Men fans we also be delighted to see Hugh Jackman return as Wolverine for the sixth time in The Wolverine; a film which is likely to see the part-man, part-adamantium comic-book hero slaying some bad guys.
The hugely popular trio of ageing spies Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren and John Malcovich return in Red 2, this time with the added bonus of Anthony Hopkins playing the film’s baddie this time and Catherine Zeta Jones also shows up.
Peter Jackson hits us with the second part of his Hobbit trilogy The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug – and another fantastic CGI epic hobbit/dwarf adventure beckons.
Talking of Jacksons, Percy Jackson is also setting out on a new adventure in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters when the intrepid young hero goes in search of the fabled Golden Fleece.
Other great shouldn’t-miss sequels include Despicable Me 2, Kick Ass 2, Riddick, Paranormal Activity 5, Thor: The Dark World, Jack Ryan, The Best Man 2, 300: Rise of an Empire, Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and Anchorman 2.
And don’t forget you can catch-up with these movies online with all the prequels at LOVEFiLM, Netflix or another streaming service before you start enjoying the movie madness 2013 has to offer.

While there was no line-up of all the Avengers as there was in 2011, director Joss Whedon made waves as he took the stage and announced the official title, and with it, the villain of the upcoming film. Ultron is a new name to many mainstream Marvel fans so the recent ten issue run also titled "Age of Ultron" is more than likely serve as an introduction to the baddie. If that run of comics is any indicator, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and co. will have much more to worry about than a partially destroyed New York City, especially with Whedon's penchant for killing off characters.
Avengers: Age of Ultron is scheduled to hit theatres in May 1, 2015.
There are few films that are quite as rewarding as those that reveal something about themselves with each new viewing. A new interpretation through each lens and a new debate with fellow watchers. Inception may be one of the more famous what-the-hell-just-happened movies, but for those willing to put in the effort, there are other great films that demand to be replayed the minute they're over.
