Так случилось, что 2013-й стал для меня годом...

It so happened that 2013 was the year of cinema for me - my field of activity has changed dramatically from sports journalism to the film business. Now, inside of me, during the viewing, two people are fighting - a novice professional who considers fees and thinks how to position the picture, and an amateur who still loves warm tube crime comedies, bloodshots and trashachilov.

Once a week I try to watch at least one fresh release - from what I’m really interested in, because there’s also no way to waste time on everything.

And the number of films watched in 2013 has already exceeded one hundred. Found the time to take stock. Own, subjective, because the objective results for me have already been summed up by the box office

Drama of the year
Dallas Buyers Club
The actors are simply brilliant. McConaughey is not that Oscar - he deserves a monument during his lifetime for this role. Well, the story itself is told to the best of touching, reasonably dynamic and fun. I’ll definitely give the second place to “Nebraska” - the story about the alcoholic grandfather sinks right into the heart and does not let go until the very end credits

Blockbuster of the year
"Man of Steel"
The most difficult nomination for me is that the Pacific monsters, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the interplanetary battles in Startrek were visually very pleased, but it was Snyder’s picture that sets some new standards in blockbuster shooting. It looks in one breath! Or maybe I just really love DC Comics.

Action movie of the year
"Survivor"
And not because my company is involved in this project. It’s just rarely when it is possible to combine a dynamic plot with excellent battle scenes and a touching plot. Plus, technically, everything is simple, Peter Berg is a true professional

Comedy of the year
"Armageddets"
Alcohol and aliens in one bottle? Is this happening in the UK? Is Simon Pegg starring? Fantasy! The American do-it-yourself article on the same topic, "End of the World", is also very good, but the British have always been a level funnier.

Thrashak of the year
"Witches of Sugarramurdi"
Selective Spanish mochilo, does not relax for a second. Awesome visuals. I don’t know why there is sugary Mario Casas, but this still makes the film less meaningful.

Melodrama of the year
"Foam of the days"
Michelle Gondry got something so airy and exciting that only the most broken cynics can underestimate the ratings of this film. Not all boys will understand, alas, well, that's why it is a melodrama.

Cartoon of the year
"The Croods"
On the lack of fish, as they say ... Among the banal plots and repeating fairy tales like "Frozen," this one pleased with its originality and execution.

Russian drama of the year
"Geographer drank the globe"
I agree with the majority here - Veledinsky outdid many of the masters of the genre, including Khlebnikov with his "Long Happy Life". This is a very sad and very beautiful picture from a very good book. Khabensky and everyone else are also well done. This has not happened for a long time.

Russian action of the year
"Near Football"
The project, which was more talked about than watched, turned out to be quite solid. But it’s all the more clear that the sound Russian cinema before the European - like the moon.

Russian comedy of the year
"Faster than rabbits"
Behind the complex intricacies of the plot and insane jokes lies some kind of eternity of being. People did not shake, judging by the estimates, well, let them. Quartet And has already earned enough and can afford to do things for the soul.

Drug addict of the year
"Mud"

Youth fumes of the year
"21 and older"

Detective of the year
"Trance"

Erotic of the year
Lovelace

"Theater of one actor"
"Hope is not extinguished"

Surprise of the year
"Illusion of deception"

Russian surprise of the year
Major

Disappointment of the year
Machete Kills and Blood and Sweat: Anabolics

Underestimation of the year (I liked it, but not everyone)
"The lone ranger"

Revaluation of the year (everyone liked it, but I didn't)
"The wolf of Wall Street"

Russian underestimation of the year
"The game of truth"

Russian revaluation of the year
"Metro"

Art House of the Year
"Great master"

Unrealized potential of the year
Doomsday and Ender's Game

Best Actor
Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club)

Best Actress
Cate Blanchett (Jasmine)

Best Actor in Russia
Konstantin Khabensky ("Geographer drank the globe")

Best Actress in Russia
But there is no such. Well, maybe Julia Aug ("Intimate places")

Something like this. Watch different movies, friends!
