The Return of the Razorblade Awards

razorblade-awards-2013It’s been awhile since we’ve done this, but in our look back on the year that was 2013 I decided I was going to revive the Semi-Annual Razorblade Awards for the most memorable (and truly awful) films, performances, and moments we were subjected to this past year. The Razorblade recognizes the only thing which could save the moviegoers from the sheer amount of suckage they were forced to witness by letting audiences slit their wrists.
