2013 was another great year. A few movies didn’t quite live up to the hype. Others flat-out bombed. Some honorable mentions worth….mentioning….are Moonrise Kingdom, The Avengers and Prometheus. All pretty solid films. But just didn’t have enough “Je ne sais quois” to break into the top 10. Some films I didn’t get to see this year were The Master, Skyfall or Les Miserables, The Sessions, Beasts of the Southern Wild or Life of Pi. All of which definitely had top 10 potential. Well, here’s my top 10. Check it out.
