Lovelace (2013)

The only two true things you will learn from Lovelace are this: In the 70s, people watched porn on dates, and polygraphs were considered scientific instruments

Gravity (2013)

Gravity is easily Sandra Bullock's best action film to date. Okay, make that her best film to date.

Byzantium (2012)

Viewing Neil Jordan’s Byzantium through a looking glass, one sees Another Interview With A Vampire

The Colony (2013)

That's a natural disaster/exploding buildings escape sequence that Michael Bay hasn't filmed before!

Rush (2013)

Ron Howard makes another adventure film for grown-up little boys

Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon (狄仁杰之神都龙王) (2013)

Not an ideal sequel (or even prequel). Just watch Young Detective Dee for the magic of Tsui Hark
