When the weather gets too cool for walks in the park and cranking up the heater becomes a nightly routine, escaping to the movies is one of my favorite things to do. No matter how cold it is, I love getting an cherry slushy and licorice, and camping out in the dark theater. Before 2013 comes to a close and awards season hits, catch these movies on the big screen.
