If you are looking to hit the movies this next year and wonder what you should see then grab your calendar and mark these dates. This past year was a year of great movies like Safe House, Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises but 2013 holds promise for some even more exciting blockbusters. Here is what to expect.

1. The Fast and The Furious 6

Some of you wonder how any film can create six movies but Fast 6 has developed from the demands of the viewers. Did you know Fast 5 grossed over 200 million in 2011? People love great characters, nice cars and the excitement that the Fast series brings.

Keep your eye out for May of 2013 because that is when Fast 6 hits the box office with Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker at the helm.

2. The Wolverine

If you are a Marvel fan then you already know the specs on the upcoming release of Marvel’s “The Wolverine”. Its release is July this summer and Hugh Jackman is back starring as the Wolverine himself. Look for some great fighting as Wolverine travels to Japan to train with a samurai warrior.

3. Monsters University

A great movie for this kids this November will be the Monster University. If you are like my family, Monsters Inc. is still popular (perhaps too popular) and we look for Monsters University to be a great sequel. John Goodman, Billy Crystal and Steve Buscemi lend their voices to create another great Pixar animation.

4. The Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp will debut this May. It traces the footsteps of a band of Rangers chasing down a gang of bandits. The lone ranger to survive a brutal ambush sets his sights on retribution. Do not miss Disney’s The Lone Ranger.

5. A Good Day to Die Hard

With a release date of February 14^th, you might be able to “surprise” your girlfriend with a romantic date. If, of course, your girlfriend enjoys car chases, explosions and the image of Bruce Willis gritting his teeth and spraying bullets‑you should have no problem. Die Hard 5 stars Bruce Willis and Jai Courtney as the father son team navigates their way out of Russia and a terroristic plot.

6. Iron Man 3

If you are a science fiction fan and you enjoy some great adventure, you will enjoy Iron Man 3. This Iron Man hopes to dive a little further into Tony Stark’s character and reveal the inner man of the Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow return to fill their roles in Iron Man 3, set to release this May.

There are many  more movies coming out this year (2013), but I believe these are 6 movies you must see.

The dinner and a movie date is a firm favorite among many couples, simply because it is one of the easiest and simplest date ideas out there. Of course, there are always ways that you can spice things up so that you are not doing the same thing over and over again, and for the most part all it takes is a little imagination and some preparation.

One of the easiest things that you can do to spice up the dinner and a movie date idea is to not actually leave your house. Why not have a pajama themed dinner and movie? You can sit in your pajamas all evening, relaxing in your own home, but still enjoy a nice meal and a movie, perhaps even making out on the couch for a bit once dinner has nicely settled in your stomachs!

Of course, on the other end of the spectrum, you could always try a real 50’s style event – try an old American style diner and find a drive-in movie to visit. With a little help from the internet, you will find that there are plenty of outdoor drive-in movie sites available, and although you may have to travel in order to find them, it will be worth your while to liven the usual movie and dinner scenario up.

Why not consider looking at different meal times, rather than focusing on the late-night dinner date? You could try going for a midday lunch and a matinee movie rather than waiting until later on that day. Changing up the meal times could be all that is needed to sort out your date life!

Of course, you could switch things up altogether and completely step away from the whole traditional dinner and movie theme. Why not wake up early in the morning and watch the sunrise together while eating a breakfast themed picnic? What could be more romantic than watching the sunrise? Technically, you don’t need a movie – you still have food and a beautiful scene to look at!

A final thing that you could do to spice up dinner and movie night is to each pick one part of the movie – you could pick the movie and your partner could pick the food. If you each take it in turns to pick one component of the evening, you never really know where you could end up and it encourages you both to use a little of your imagination!
