2013 through my eyes.

During the year of 2013, I watched a lot of movies. At the start of the year, my friend Stephen Rice challenged himself to see 100 films throughout the year, and being as I too liked going to the movies, I figured I'd tag along in this adventure. Over the year, I went to see old movies as well as new movies, so I decided fairly early on that only films currently in their first cinema release that I was seeing for the first time would count towards my 100-film goal. As my good friend Jai rates every film he sees out of 100 (check out his app https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/out-of-100/id583900625?mt=8), I too decided to do this. Check out my list below:

As you probably figured out, the shaded films are the ones that fell out of the official count, meaning I ended up on 102 brand new releases for the year. I would like to thank everyone who came to see a movie with me throughout the year (I somehow managed to not once see one movie by myself). I'd also like to thank the aforementioned Stephen, who went on this crazy journey with me, and Jai, who is the most passionate bloke when it comes to movies and really inspires me to watch my movies in a more critical manner. 

My top 5 of the year were:
Star Trek Into Darkness - 91
Prisoners - 84
Rush - 83
American Hustle - 82
Jack Reacher - 81

My bottom 5 of the year were:

Movie 43 - 12
The Host - 17
The Place Beyond the Pines - 20
Grown Ups 2 - 21
The Counselor - 22

I am keen to again embark on such an adventure in 2014, and obviously, anyone is welcome to come along for the ride!
