Justin Chang is the chief film critic for the venerable but lively trade publication Variety; this week on The Lunch, Justin joins regular host and fellow critic James Rocchi to talk about three films of 2013 that any serious film-lover should see before the year’s out — as well as our arguments why those movies deserve to be looked at, challenging some of their critics as well, ranging from Blue is the Warmest Color to The Spectacular Now, Upstream Color to The Grandmaster, In a World and Before Midnight. James and Justin also talk about two 2013 movies that, while hardly perfect, got thrown under the bus this year, and the attempts to save White House Down and Man of Steel from tire marks and undercarriage bruises … Justin can be read at Variety.com, and found on Twitter @JustinCChang
