The last of 2013 is upon us and I’ve been shoveling in just about as many films from the year as I can, building towards my awaiting best of/worst of lists and the second annual Silver Screen Riot Awards. At the theater, I closed out seeing the last films I would this year with Anchorman...
Without reaching the same highs, Anchorman 2 still provides us with a good belly full of laughs. We can hope that McKay and Ferrell's goal here is to provide another…
You could probably also say that my expectations were too high going into American Hustle (I was ready to jam it in my top ten before even seeing it) but…

Originally made in Japan, 1954,...
Ambitious to a fault, last year’s Cloud Atlas was amongst the strangest and best of the year. It earned a mention just outside of my top ten of the year for taking massive risks that mostly paid off, something the Wachowskis have become known for. While The Matrix sequels may have soured the insane originality...
