anticipated movies: autumn/winter 2013

Just as I didn't have much chance to read this summer, a lack of time and distance from the cinema meant that I didn't go to the cinema a huge amount either. In the next few months though the film industry starts to bring out its Oscar bait - just another reason why Autumn is my favourite season! - and as I'll be back in Exeter I'll be within walking distance of three cinemas so my cinema time will skyrocket!

Here are 10 of the films that I'm particularly looking forward to (Oscar-worthy and otherwise!); they're listed in order of UK release date and only go up to January.
