My 10 Favorite Sitcom Episodes of 2013

Just like last year I will run down my top 10 favortie episodes from 10 sitcoms that I watched this year. I limited it to one episode per show only so that there will be variety :D.Anyway, let's get on with the list

10. How I Met Your Mother - "Something New" (Season 8 Episode 24)

 

 The 8th Season finale was so special mainly because of the final scene where we finally meet The Mother! I didn't know we would see her on this episode so I was caught off guard when she appeared! I seriously had goosebumps when they finally showed her face! The 9th and Final Season is so far a mixed bag and I really wanted to see more of The Mother but the midseason finale is (hopefully) setting up a compelling final arc. I haven't really enjoyed HIMYM that much for the last 2 years but this show every now and then knows how to pull the heart strings so I'm hopeful the final arc will be great.
 
9.  Awkward - "Cha-cha-cha-changes" (Season 3 Episode 1)


 I stopped watching midway this season because the show's teen soap elements is predominant now and I'm just too old for that. However, I will always love the season premiere because of the fantastic first scene of  Jenna's creative writing teacher Mr. Hart (played by Anthony Michael Hall). His entrance was just unforgettable and delivered a killer speech about writing that really got me. Here's an excerpt:

"Some of you may think that you're good writers. Because you write witty musings about taking a dump on your Facebook wall. Or you whine about your feelings on your blog. That.... is not being a writer! Writing is about conquering you f**king fears! It's about putting on to paper....the thing.... that you are most afraid.... to share"

8. 30 Rock - "Last Lunch"  (Season 7 Episode 13)


The series finale of 30 Rock closed the show in such a good way.  The episodes leading to the final episode were also good but the final episode is special to me because of the talk between Liz and Tracy in the bar where Tracy took her in the first episode of the show. It's about how hard it is to say goodbye and I really like what Liz said that maybe in the future they won't be close friends anymore because people naturally drift apart but the time they spent together were great and she will cherish it despite all the things he put her through. It was so sincere and heartfelt.There was also a good scene between Liz and Jack where Jack indirectly says how he valued his friendship with Liz. More than funny cutaways and pop culture jokes, 30 Rock stood out because it valued its characters so much and the relationships they formed

7. Brooklyn Nine-Nine - "Thanksgiving" (Season 1 Episode 10)




One of my favorite new shows this year! Brooklyn Nine-Nine stood out because of its snappy writing and great ensemble. I chose the Thanksgiving episode as my favorite because it showcases that with just 10 episodes, the show is already fully formed. Non stop laughs from start to end and it's impressive how they were able to give each a character a moment (even the side players Hitchcock and Scully) while working a case and at the same time ending it on sweet note that isn't too sappy at all. A lot of shows takes time to find its footing but this show found it quickly.

6. Mom - "Estrogen and a Hearty Breakfast" (Season 1 Episode 7)



I was really quite surprised how Mom turned out. I'm impressed with the stuff they're trying to pull under the multi-camera sitcom format which is known for its safe and traditional humor. In this episode, Allison Janney (who is such a hoot to watch week to week) completely brought the house down. The way her character Bonnie dealt with menopause was just hilarious but the episode also had a deep turn as we learn more about Bonnie's inner struggles. I'm impressed with the show as it is not afraid to go dark and yet not lose the humor.

5. Parks and Recreation - "Recall Vote" (Season 6 Episode 7) 




Last year my favorite episode was this show's The Debate episode where Leslie Knope delivered an amazing speech which ultimately led to her win in the elections. In this episode, Leslie deals with the ongoing voting to get her out of office and the aftermath of the results. What really impressed me in this episode is how it tackled disappointments. Leslie's "I peaked" meltdown speech was both funny and heartfelt. I just like how it tells that despite our best efforts, things will just will not go the way we want it to.

4. The Big Bang Theory - "The Romance Resonance" (Season 7 Episode 6)


I'm really liking the 7th season so far but this episode, which actually would have been a perfect episode for Valentines, is for me a future classic.Howard's song to Bernadette is both hilarious and romantic!. The scene where Howard and the gang were singing the song to Bernadette is really just a lovely moment. And the last scene with Amy's imagination was such a hoot as well.

3.  Modern Family - "Suddenly, Last Summer" (Season 5 Episode 1)



  The 5th season premiere of Modern Family remind us why this show is an audience favorite and awards magnet. This episode features scenes that will make you laugh out loud and scenes  that will get your eyes all misty! Just thinking of some of the scenes make me laugh (The Jay-Manny talk outside the court which is full of same-sex couples getting a marriage license), smile (Cam & Mitch saying "Yes" at the same time) and teary eyed (Phil telling Claire romantic stuff while he sets up Mitch's proposal venue). There are few shows I watch who can pull mixing laughter and tears as seamless as this show does. 

2. The Middle - "Halloween IV: The Ghost Story"  (Season 5 episode 5)



Just like last year I had a hard time choosing which episode of The Middle to pick because I just love this so much and it delivers week to week.  My first pick was the 100th episode but then I remembered the Halloween-themed episode that followed it. I picked this one ultimately because of two memorable scenes. First one was the Hecks coaching Brick on how to ask a girl  out online where the execution and the acting  were so perfect, ultimately capturing why this show has succeeded! The second one was towards the end when Sue was telling Mike about the ghost that she may or may not have seen and that scene took a surprising philosophical turn in the end which was really thought-provoking. I'm always amazed how this show can still surprise me from time to time.

1. The Office - "Finale"  (Season 9 Episode 24/25)



I stopped watching The Office midway of Season 8 because the show became a chore to watch since Michael Scott left and the very annoying Andy was promoted to his position. I  came back for the final season because I just want to see how it ends. It was quite a struggle to watch it but got better when Andy was off for a couple of episodes but when he returned it sucked again. It was such a rollercoaster watching the show's final season but the final episode was just flat out amazing. The way they concluded the show  was just so good that whatever ill feelings I had for the early part of the season disappeared as I watch the final episode of the show. There were so many things to love in this episode from Dwight & Angela's wedding, Dwight calling Pam his best friend,  Michael Scott's return and final "That's what she said" to the final interviews of the documentary crew to the Dundler Mifflin employees. It's one of the most memorable series finale I've ever watched and oh yes I cried ;)

My Top 20 Favorite Movies of 2013!

Let's start my annual year-end lists with my favorite movies! I'm once again limiting my list to movies I've seen in the theater. There's also one movie included which is a 2012 release overseas but was only shown here this year. My basis for the ranking is basically the movie's  impact to me. There are movies in this list that have major flaws but the positive side is stronger so they still made my list. As a recap here's my list for 2012 and 2011. So without further adieu here are the twenty movie that I loved for 2013!

20. This is The End

I'm not really a fan of the actors of this movie so I was hesitant to check this out but good thing I watched this because this is one hilarious movie! Danny McBride stood out for me and it was surprising because I really hate his douchebag antics in his previous movies but his douchebag character here was so much fun. Aside from the crazy humor, I quite like how they talked about friendship and how sometimes people drift apart because of their personal issues. Plus points for featuring Backstreet Boys!

19. Purok 7

One of the few movies I saw in Cinemalaya this year and the movie's sweet tone over a tragic incident won me over. The lead kids in the movie were really great and they captured the sibling bond perfectly. It's also a beautiful movie with lush cinematography capturing the lovely atmosphere of small town life. 

18. Pacific Rim

I really love the concept of this movie where two people "uniting" their brains electronically to control a giant robot figthing monstrous aliens! The battle scenes were also spectacular! It also features one of the most emotional flashback scene I've seen ever. The humanity that scene delivered is the biggest advantage this movie over the other big budget blockbusters of 2013. 

17. Ilo-ilo

Singapore's entry to the Oscars tells the story of a Singaporean family who hires a Filipina nanny during the 1997 Asian Financial crisis.I like that there are no big dramatic scenes here but it's nonetheless affecting as the movie properly developed all 4 main characters without going overboard. 

16.  The Heat 

My favorite Hollywood comedy this year. It started a little off me with too much swearing from Melissa's character but once she and Sandra Bullock's character finally interacted, it was nothing but pure entertainment. 

15.  Ekstra

As someone who loves TV and is fascinated with the TV production process, this movie is such a treat! It makes you understand the plight of not just the bit players but everyone from the production team. It makes you understand how this world is working and how people will have to make compromises along the way.

14. Iskalawags

One of only two movies I've seen in this year's Cinema One Originals Film Festival and what impressed me about this movie is the "voice" of the narrator. It's distinct and such a compelling story teller. The film tells a story of a group of friends in a province in the Visayas. The movie is set in the 90s and the era was also a character in this movie. The movie truly captures how friendships form and last with a group of kids in a small town. 

13. Four Sisters and a Wedding

This star-studded movie won me over because of its portrayal of the complex but loving relationships of siblings as they grow older. Sure there is a dramatically -staged confrontation set piece towards the end but the insecurities and issues each of the sibling experienced are realistic and relatable.

12. Ang Turkey Man Ay Pabo Rin

A very funny but heartwarming story of a relationship between a Filipina and an American. I like the mockumentary format as it was used quite effectively with the punchlines. But beyond the jokes, the movie was also successful in telling that despite the social stigma of a relationship that started online, true love can truly blossom.

11. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

  I liked last year's The Hunger Games but Catching Fire is just on another level with its compelling story and  strong central performance from Jennifer Lawrence. The movie is over 2 hours but unlike other movies with that  long runtime, my mind never wandered even for a second as I was totally glued to the screen scene per scene

10. Rush

 I'm pretty confident that most F1 racing fans will like this film but the movie greatly succeeds in telling a sports drama even if the viewers have no idea what the sport is all about. It also excelled in making the audience care for a true-to-life story of people that you never knew before.

9. It Takes A Man and  A Woman 
 
 A romantic-comedy series is not a common movie franchise simply because most love stories told in this format follows a template and there's not much really left to say after the girl and the guy gets together in the end. However, It Takes a Man and a Woman manages to find new grounds in the Laida-Miggy love story that's so strong that you just can't help but fall for its charm all over again

8. Frozen

I grew up watching the 90s Disney animated classics so it's really great to see the animation studio reclaiming the magic that somehow got lost in the past decade.  With its fantastic music, engaging characters, and amazing visuals, this movie will surely melt the hearts of viewers of all ages.

7. Captain Phillips

True-to-life stories are not easy to pull off in the big screen especially if the viewer is unfamiliar of the real story but thanks to strong direction, Captain Phillips offers the viewer a pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you at the edge of your seat.  It also features one of the best performances of my all time favorite actor Tom Hanks

6. Life of Pi

Visually gorgeous but most importantly this film is food for the soul with its inspiring story that will make you reflect about life.

5. Transit

This year's Cinemalaya New Breed winner and our country's entry to the Oscar is one of the most impressive directorial debut I've ever seen. The film is so strong on all accounts but the way it deals with issues of identity left me amazed because it's so succinct and affecting.

4. Before Midnight

Usually movies will get the viewers' attention with its flashy effects or showy scenes with scenery-chewing performances but the "Before" series is just about a couple talking and talking and yet it's so absorbing, The third movie is just a worthy entry to the series. I just like the rawness that this movie delivers and Before Midnight simply hits it right out of the park. If this is truly the end of the "Before" series then it ends on such strong note.

3. Sana Dati

The winner of the Cinemalaya 2013 Director's Showcase tells a love story which encompasses a variety of emotions from bliss, to pain and finally acceptance. It told a story how an unexplainable connection to a person will make you do things you never did before. More importantly, it presents a love story that isn't perfect or ideal but it doesn't mean it will not work anyway.

2. Gravity

Gravity is one hell of a ride. More than just a story, it is an unforgettable experience. This is definitely one of the most immersive films that I've ever experienced and I'm pretty sure this film will be remembered in the years to come. It's simply a masterpiece.

1. On The Job

OTJ is just outstanding. With a timely topic especially during the time it was shown, OTJ will just make you ponder about the justice and political system of the country. We are quite aware of what's going on for a long time already that we tend to just shrug it off because it will never change anyway but OTJ will show you ugly it really is and we really should not just let this be this way. OTJ reminded me that movies is not just about escapism as it can be a powerful tool to get to your senses and make you think about the world we live in.
