2013 Cinema: The Best and The Worst of the Year


2013 Cinema: The Best and the Worst of the Year
By Brett Takeshita

Overview of 2013 Cinema

2013 was a solid, if a bit uneven, year for the movies. I noticed a strange pattern in which some of the best movies came out earlier in the year, and at least for me, cinema as a whole declined in quality as the year went on. (I'll admit that I'm not that ecstatic with this year's Oscar nominees). Nevertheless, what I will remember and appreciate from 2013 is that cinema dared to be different. It was stamped with modernity. It dared to be bolder and take more risks by having loftier ambitions. Whether the movies succeeded or failed, they left lasting impressions.
