Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
MY parents are just the same, it's fking annoying right? Tell them your growing up and they need to understand that. Remember, they don't want to lose their little girl so soon so make that clear to them. Good Luck.

You've got to tell them that you're growing up, and you need some freedom. It's an important part of growing up to begin having a little bit of independence and social interaction. Tell them that you're being honest about where you say you're going, and promise to keep in touch and call to keep them updated on where you are and who you're with. Your parents love and care about you more than anything, and that's why they're having a hard time letting you go and grow up. They want you to stay their little girl forever. So tell them that you'll always be their daughter, and tell them how much you love them. But let them know that it's time for you to start becoming your own person now, and that's something they just have to understand. Don't worry, as you get older, it gets easier. The beginning is the hardest part.

Well you are young.
I can understand the mall but the movies?
You have to show them you are responsible and trust worthy.
You should ask them if you could go to the movies with friends. Ask them to buy your ticket and maybe, that will get you in?
Right now.. they are being protective. They don't want someone to hurt you.
Do you have a cellphone? Or do your parents?
You can always ask to go somewhere and have them call you and whatnot.
Do you ever ask why they don't let you? Is it because of an age thing or what? No parents with you?
You can be like.. I want to go to the movies.. I have a phone with me. I will be with my friends. I will get out at blahblah time.
Can I go or do you not trust me?
Maybe you should ask that... it could bring up a whole conversation..

You're 13! Your parents love you so much! They just dont want you to get hurt that's all. It has nothing to do with "wanting you to be a cute little 5 year old again" just like the answer below... 13 is still a young age to handle peer pressure so your parents are scared that something like that will happen to you. For now.. all you can do is prove to your parents that you are a trust worthy, responsible 13 year old. Try doing extra chores around the house, take the dog out for a walk...etc. Just help out and if they get curious, just say you wanted to help out because you want to become more responsible.
I hope I helped!

Believe it or not, teenagers are much scarier to raise than 5 year olds!
I know you probably wouldn't get into trouble. Your parents probably know it too. They hope so anyway.
It is oh so easy to be influenced by friends and other teens to do things you know aren't right. No one wants to be left out and no one wants to look
like a wimp. You are a little young to face those challenges alone at 13. I know you probably won't agree with that but time to turn you loose on your own will come soon enough.
Don't be real mad at them. They love you very much and don't want you to tackle that kind of peer pressure yet.
