1. Top 10 Grossing Films of 2013
with reviews
Information from IMDB & various film review websites

2. 10. The Heat
“The pace of the film
is uneven, and the big
plot-points are
presented so casually
that you can almost
feel how bored
everyone is by having
to spend time on
them, but Bullock and
McCarthy make a
phenomenal team.”

3. 9. The Croods
“Though the
plot is sort of
thin (basically,
get from A to
B), the
characters are
rich and
engaging.”

4. 8. World War Z
“The addictively
exciting World
War Z comes
ready to rock. It
grabs you hard –
no mercy.”
-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

5. 7. Star Trek Into Darkness
“A similar compilation
approach has been
taken with this sequel;
but overall it feels far
more cohesive than
the previous entry,
and it develops the
main characters in
important ways.”
-Martyn Bamber,
Critic’s Notebook

6. 6. The Great & Powerful Oz
“There are times when
Oz The Great And
Powerful is gorgeous
to look at. However,
those moments are
broken up by instances
where the CG and the
live action do not meld
well in any way.”
-Bill Thompson,
Bill’s Movie Emporium

7. 5. Fast & Furious 6
“Nothing classic
here, except the
vehicles. But if
you’re looking for
revved-up cars,
trucks, tanks and
tunnel racing, F&F6
is King Kong on
wheels.”
-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

8. 4. Monsters University
“The movie doesn't
take the easy or
predictable route to a
happy ending. There's
a sense of morality
and ethics that isn't
cloying.”
-Jana J. Monji,

9. 3. Man of Steel
“Ubiquitous product
placement takes the
viewer out of the
movie, and Hans
Zimmer's
overpowering score
further distances us.”
-Claudia Puig, USA Today

10. 2. Despicable Me 2
“While I remain
disappointed that the
sequel gives me a
subdued Gru and an
uneven pace, I keep
remembering things
about "Despicable Me
2" that make me
smile.”
-Odie Henderson, RogerEbert.com

11. 1. Iron Man 3
“The prologue is very
good … the dialogue is
funny and breakneck in
its pacing, and it quickly
sets up a number of plot
threads which will come
to fruition later in the
film, but which don't
seem that important in
the moment.”
