Best of 2013 Halfway Through The Year

It's that time of year again where I give my brief thoughts on all the films I've seen halfway through the year in the traditional categories of best films, performances and scenes, along with stating what my most anticipated films for the rest of the year are, all of this based on the UK release dates for films so expect to see some films in the lists that you would have seen in best of lists from the end of last year. Let's start these multiple lists off with:
Most Anticipated:
10. Closed Circuit
9.  Don Jon
8. Runner, Runner

3. Elysium
2. Kick-Ass 2
1. The World's End
