So as you know, I stopped writing lengthy reviews on this site this year, keeping the blog as more of a film diary of sorts.  Lo and behold,...

The 2013 RyMickey Awards - Worst Performance

The dubious honor is bestowed on these actors and actresses who should probably spend their money on a trip to the Actors Studio this year.

The Worst Performances of 2013

#5 - Cameron Diaz -- The Counselor
Diaz is completely unable to wrap her lips around the dialog she's forced to spout.  Rather than exude sexiness -- which her character is supposed to do -- she ends up being laughable.

#4 - Jodie Foster - Elysium
What the heck accent was Foster employing in this film?  Add to that, her performance is extremely jerky and mannered making it uncomfortable to watch.

#3 - Ashton Kutcher - Jobs
He tries.  I'll leave it at that.

#2 - Noomi Rapace - Passion
Overacting by not acting at all, Noomi Rapace has an emptiness in her eyes throughout the entire film that fails to allow any connection to her character whatsoever.

#1 - Lorenza Izzo - Aftershock
I'll just let this quote from my review sum up my feelings here:  
Eli Roth is just abysmal, but even he looks like a Shakespearean actor when placed next to Lorenza Izzo who plays an American party girl.  Don't get me wrong -- she's gorgeous, but she's utterly laughable as an actress.  Apparently widening your eyes to their fullest extent and darting your eyeballs around in frantic motions for sixty minutes while shaking uncontrollably and yelling at the top of your lungs is all that it takes to prove you've got talent to someone like Eli Roth who produced this heinous flick.
And for the second year in a row, the worst film also contains the worst performance.
