With our feet firmly planted in 2013, it is time for the writers here at HST to look back on the past year and reminisce about the good, the meh, and the just plain ugly of the entertainment world, starting right her with film.

Dredd 3D is a reboot of the long time comic book character and the results are magnificent as Judge Dredd proves he deserves to become a comic book film main stay.
