Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club

The ensemble cast of The Big Wedding

James Franco in Spring Breakers

Everyone has their own idea of the best and worst of the year and my list is no more definitive than yours. I think there’s more bad than good (the standards today are higher) and we saw some incredible performances (Cate Blanchett) and some scenery chewing too. (Jennifer Lawrence) Bradley Cooper was in both a winner (American Hustle) and a clunker (The Hangover Part III), but DeNiro has the di-STINK-shun of being in more Clunkers than anyone else (The Big Wedding, The Family and Killing Season) So, here they are. What’s your fave of the year? Forget “Best”.
