(FROM THE ARCHIVES) BEST MOVIES OF 2013

To kind of fill up my blog thing before I really start kicking, and centralize my stuff, I am going to be posting my best of lists from the past few years. I am going to copy and paste them froom my Facebook Notes, without editing. So some opinions have definitely changed, but these were my thoughts at the time. Basically I don't hold me to any of these opinions or thoughts. Also the copy-over seems to have erased some spaces.

Enjoy!
