Worst Film of 2013

Out of the 138 films I saw over the year, these are the ones that annoyed me the most. Whether it is because of the poor plot or poor characters, these films were pretty disastrous in my eyes and with an Unlimited Card I am pretty stoked I didn't really pay to see these.

Most Disappointing Films of 2013

This category does not necessarily mean the film is bad, some are still pretty good, however this selection includes the films I personally felt could have been better. My reasoning behind some of these may seem silly but are here because I was expecting more.

Most Surprising Films of 2013

Let the awards commence!

This selection relates to the films that I had low expectations for or ones that I hadn't really thought much about before going to see the release in the cinema. Invariably some are going to disappoint, however this list is for the ones that managed to change my mind for the better before the end credits rolled. So let’s start the countdown.

Elle Mo's Definitive Lists of 2013

With the end of 2013 just past and awards season already underway, I'm taking a moment to go back through the films I saw over the last year and categorise them for your viewing pleasure. Taking into account I have not seen every film that came out in 2013, missing out on big and small ones, such as blockbuster Pacific Rim and Flight down to the minor releases like Only God Forgives and Stoker. If only my full time job didn’t get in the way!

As the films I am including in my lists only include ones seen between January and December of 2013, there are many of the award contenders up for nomination at the moment that won't be included as they were released in January 2014. 

So find out which films annoyed me the most and which actors kept me going back to the screens over and over. Also have a think about what you would place in each of the following categories and feel free to let me know how far off the mark you think I am.

All I Want For Christmas: December

Target missed! Across the year I managed a total of 138 films watched on the big screen, 12 off my target of 150. Still there's always next year!

During that last month of 2013 I did still manage 13, but as usual last minute shopping, tidying and decorating messed with the timetable so a few films were left to be picked up in the new year.

Thor: The Dark World
Gravity 3D
Jeune et Jolie
Carrie
Oldboy
Saving Mr. Banks
Nebraska
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug IMAX 3D
Frozen 3D
The Muppet Christmas Carol
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Anchorman 2 The Legend Continues
Frozen 3D

A good selection of films this month - animation, horror, drama - and although I enjoyed most of them, there wasn't really any that stood out from the rest. Looking forward though, there are plenty awards contenders coming up which will hopefully raise the bar and start off the new year with a bang.
