“Despite the absence of a colossal failure such as last year’s Oogieloves In The BIG Balloon Adventure (never forget), this year was loaded with features that failed to drum-up ticket sales.”[HuffPo]

Yup, it’s that time of year: to name the “Best Of” and “Worst Of” 2013 lists. And even though we feel a teeny tiny bit guilty at watching big movies go BOOM, go boom some of them must.

Any guesses as to which is the lowest grossing film of the year? It’s not what you’re thinking (The Long Ranger still has a chance to kind of break even (sort of)) but here’s a hint: it stars Ed Harris.

Others on the Flop List include Liam Hemsowrth’s Paranoia (HUGE disaster) and Movie 43, probably the worst reviewed film of the last 10 years.

Move over, Maggie Smith: the most in-demand actor of the year is Jean-Claude Van Damme, who appears in yet another feature in Welcome to the Jungle.

The story sounds akin to Lord of the Flies with adults: a corporate retreat goes horribly awry – in the jungle. Imagine that.

Welcome to the Jungle releases February 7 in theaters and on VOD.

The world’s most beloved animation auteur Hayao Miyazaki returns with The Wind Rises, an animated adventure in the Miyazaki tradition that already has awards buzz all around it (and the trailer just released!).

Telling the story of Jiro Horikoshi, the (in)famous designer of Japan’s fighter planes during WWII, The Wind Rises is Miyazaki’s last film as director and will release in limited theatres on February 21, 2014.
