BEST OF 2013 : 15 MOVIES THAT BLEW ME AWAY
As I promised myself in January 2013 (in one of my smarter resolutions of this past year), I saw 52 good movies.
I am going to recommend 10 from those 52 that are absolutely worth your time so add these to your 2014 Netflix or torrent list. I also saw 14 thoughtful documentaries and I am going to recommend 5 from those that are worth a watch. These 10 + 5 shortlisted titles below are in no particular order. I am now old enough to know ‘ranking’ the worthy arts in a mostly facile and futile exercise. Even this list below is tainted. If you see 100 movies in a year and your friends ask you to parse them into plain ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’ you probably can as that won’t be too hard of an ask. But if you were asked to stack the ‘Good’ ones you chose IN ORDER of ‘Goodness’ (and this applies to books, movies, games and paintings too) you are being asked an impossible task. A stack ranking if still attempted is nothings but a reflection of a deeply personal taste of the stacker and nothing more. It can never be a reflection of objective reality because there is none. Here is my opinionated subjective ‘best of’ list from last year.
Here is the ground reality of these 66 titles seen this year, that took me 120.6 hours to watch :
- Not a single one of them was ‘bad’; as in something I thought was a ‘waste of my time’. This is both astounding and unexpected and a credit to the vast wealth of review information on the internet, which if you usewisely will reward you by making sure you don’t get blindsided by idiot flicks
- There is only 1 Bollywood title in these 66, a testament to just how much of good cinema is out there once you start looking right and broadly
- Some people and entities that guided me to these 66 titles : The late great movie critic Ebert, the website Metacritic.com and Mihir Fadnavis, a opinionated untainted honest film critic at MiD Day (based in Bombay)
OK. Now that the foreplay is over, here are the best 10 movies I saw in 2013 :
Movie 1 is [Gravity], directed by Alfonso Cuaron. A knuckle biting epic 3D sci-fi thriller worth seeing only on an iMAX. Released on Oct 2013
Movie 2 is [Before Midnight], directed by Richard Linklater. A beautiful drama romance for couples. Released on Jan 2013
Movie 3 is [Happiness], directed by Todd Solondz. A wicked comedy drama. Released on May 1998
Movie 4 is [Gangs of Wasseypur], directed by Anurag Kashyap. A brill drama thriller. Released on May 2012
Movie 5 is [The Pianist], directed by Roman Polanski. A rewatch of the moving ugly biography of what war unleashes on us and from within us. Released on September 2002
Movie 6 is [Flight], directed by Robert Zemeckis. A drama thriller that should rightly get Denzel an oscar nomination this year or there is no justice in this world. Released on Oct 2012
Movie 7 is [Blue Valentine], directed by Derek Cianfrance. A searing drama romance all couples, married or not, should watch. Released on Jan 2010
Movie 8 is [Zero Dark Thirty], directed by Kathryn Bigelow. The best thriller I saw this year. Released on Dec 2012
Movie 9 is [The Cabin in the Woods], directed by Drew Goddard. A wicked funny horror mystery thriller. Released on March 2012
Movie 10 is [Dredd], directed by Pete Travis. Not the Stallone one. This is a real class A action sci-fi. Released on July 2012
And the 5 best documentaries worth your while are :
- Last Train Home, directed by Lixin Fan, released in 2009. THIS IS CHINA. The factory of our world. And it’s ugly.
- Afghan Star, directed by Havana Marking, released in 2009. If anyone wants to know what Afghanistan is beyond the CNN headlines, see this movie. I guarantee you will be moved.
- 56 Up, directed by Michael Apted and Paul Almond, released in 2012. What an epic UK project. Executed beautifully.
- Searching for Sugar Man, directed by Malik Bendjelloul, released in 2012. Did not see the twist till it sprung up on me.
- The Queen of Versailles, directed by Lauren Greenfield, released in 2012. This is what the downfall means for rich people.

Reviews for "Add a Touch of Enchantment to Your Garden with Solar Lights"
1. Samantha - 1 star
I was highly disappointed with the Solar Magic Garden Lights. The lights were not bright enough to illuminate my garden at all. They barely emitted a faint glow, which was hardly visible. Additionally, the solar panels were not effective in charging the lights during the day, leaving them dim or completely dead by nightfall. I expected the lights to add a beautiful ambiance to my garden, but they fell short of my expectations. I would not recommend these lights to anyone looking for a reliable and vibrant lighting solution for their outdoor space.
2. John - 2 stars
I have to say, the Solar Magic Garden Lights did not impress me. The design and concept seemed promising, but the execution was lacking. The lights were not durable and started fading and cracking after just a few weeks of use. The solar panels also did not absorb enough sunlight to keep the lights powered for longer periods, resulting in them constantly going dim or completely turning off. The overall quality of the product was subpar, and I would suggest looking for better alternatives if you want reliable and long-lasting garden lights.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Solar Magic Garden Lights, but unfortunately, they failed to meet my expectations. The lights were not as bright as advertised, and despite placing them in direct sunlight, they didn't charge efficiently. The battery life was also disappointingly short, often dying out before midnight. The lights themselves were also prone to flickering randomly, which was quite frustrating. Overall, I would not recommend these lights for anyone looking to illuminate their garden effectively and consistently.
