2013 was again an off year in movie watching for me. I managed to watch only 61 movies last year, one less than 2012 and my second consecutive year under 100. Again, many things contributed to this, chiefly the insane amount of TV I’ve been watching and the awful amount of time I spend either at work or getting to and from work.
Here’s a look back at the first 50 movies I did manage to watch last year and what recollection, if any, I have of them. The films are listed in the order I saw them.
The Wedding Planner (2001)
A Jennifer Lopez throwback to start off the year.
Red Riding Hood (2011)
This was not a good movie.
Safe House (2012)
This also was not a good movie. I’m not getting the year started right.
Les Misérables (2012)
A work outing is the only reason I saw this film.
American Reunion (2012)
Sometimes you can go home again. And sometimes you shouldn’t.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows (2011)
Robert Downey Jr. returns as the great British detective.
Young Adult (2011)
Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt team up for this strong tale.
Compliance (2012)
I streamed this disturbing picture on the iPad.
For A Good Time, Call… (2012)
A surprisingly good comedy.
Apollo 18 (2011)
Not good at all.
