Took in nearly 60 flicks of 2013, been thinking on this. Haven't solidified an order yet, but atm my rough lists are..
Best:
American Hustle
Rush
The Hunt
Captain Philips
Prisoners
Mud
Dallas Buyers Club
Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
Elysium
Dark Skies (my annual oddball horror pick)
Worst:
Now You See Me - the "payoff" made me want to hang myself for sitting through it.
Texas Chainsaw 3D
Burt Wonderstone
Iron Man 3
Last Excorcism 2
21 and Over
Hangover 3
After Earth
Identity Thief
And I didn't even see it, but the mere fact that it was made means it automatically goes here,
Grown Ups 2
Honorables (in the good sense):
The Conjuring
Frozen
Wolf of Wall Street
You're Next (Brilliant satire)
Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Award for originality:
Pacific Rim
Side note:
I think Gravity gets a 10/10 on visuals all day long. But the story was bland and stupid, Clooney's character felt like a celebrity cameo that didn't belong in that kind of setting if it were to be realistic, and Sandra Bullock couldn't extract a drop of my sympathy through her flimsy character. Maybe she just has one of those faces, I don't know.. But I found her more convincing in The Heat.
Also, being a space nut, perhaps the whole thing just didn't freak me out as much as it was meant to.
