My Best and worst of, 2013 edition
The top 10 has taken some thought to sort out, only because all of them are pretty good films. I am going to go ahead and call this the best year for cinema in quite some time. Of the films I watched, they good far out-weighed the bad. I watched a few less in theaters now that I understand how great Video On Demand(VOD) can be. Hundreds of limited release movies come out every year that never make it to theaters. With VOD they can all make it to the viewing public and that is really a great thing. My newly rekindled Netlfix love also accounted for some new and old movie watching. My 'worst of' is a small list because I did a much better job of avoiding crap movies this year. I would like to the thank letterboxd.com for making the tracking of my movie nerd nonsense so easy. Click the Letterbox'd link to see all of these movies with ratings.
