Movies 2013: My Expectations (Part 1 of 2)
The year nears its ending
and I use the chance to look forward, to a point we will never reach but
hopefully will come. The next year of movies looks as exciting as every year
and most of them will disappoint the audience with their brilliantly made trailer
and marketing efforts for obvious facts like a actual storyline and bad acting.
But what movies are worth to keep an eye on? Here is the first half of my list
for the next year:

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Review
The Hobbit:
An Unexpected is now in cinemas after several
years of yearning for it. It’s the prequel to the glorious LOTR Trilogy, which
had a lot of problems on the way of production. Peter Jackson got ill through
stressing himself, Guillermo del Toro dropped the position as regisseur, overcame
a boycott of actors who demanded more, got a big budget for whole three long
time running movie at a near bankrupt firm and a lot more that we never heard
about. That’s a lot of problems for someone who just wants to enters the great

Wreck-It Ralph - Movie Review
Wreck-It Ralph is a movie about an 8-bit antagonist who is tired of being the bad guy. He wants to be the praised hero that the kids love. To achieve that he needs to travel to other arcade games, like a sugar coated racetrack and a bug contaminated gritty world.
The movie is Disney's try to create a similar experience to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and the "Toy Story-Films" for the rich world of Gaming. I'm a gamer myself and was quite skeptical if it would succeed with such classics. The expectations for it are high enough, so hopefully it doesn't disappoint me. Read if it could meet my expectations.

Ted - Importance and risk to reach both genders
Seth MacFarlane is the creator of Family Guy and several other cartoon series, recognized for his immature and vulgar jokes. Ted is not that different in this regard, but a lot better at it than his other works.
Looking at the box office results shows clearly that he made a lot of money out of it, which success many never expected to be as high as they got with strong competition like The Dark Knight Rises. The question is, how he could get even woman to be excited about his newest work.
