Aaron Sorkin and the writing staff were pretty terrible at keeping long term story lines going over multiple episodes.

The West Wing is not with out it’s flaws. They are both incredible shows that will stick with me for a long time, but The West Wing, Aaron Sorkin’s, incredibly biting, surprisingly relevant, moving, and funny political drama wins every time. In any other year Friday Night Lights or Twin Peaks could have won.

The TV category was by far the hardest one to pin down(which is why I split it into 3 categories). Pictures like this where the whole cast just stares at the camera is the most bizarre thing in the world. Runners up: Nothing comes close Best TV Show: West Wing So, I guess Revenge of the Ninja is by some standards a really good movie. It is more inventive than a lot of modern action films with it’s fight scenes and it is never boring. The end product differs from something like say, Troll 2(Last years winner in this category), because it somehow actually quiet good at what it wants to be. They seem like what they are: a very sincere attempt at film making from someone who did not understand the culture or film itself. Because although, yes, the Asians, Italians, blacks, and Native American’s are all hilarious stereotypes they never feel malicious. It’s a special kind of film that is both extremely racially incentive and seemingly innocent.

We probably talked about the film for a good half an hour before we accepted that the power wasn’t coming back on.

It only adds to the mystique of this film that when Tim and I originally watched it that the power went out in the ridiculous 20 minute climactic fight sequence that takes place on a series of roofs containing tennis courts, hot tubs and super long helicopter shots. Revenge of the Ninja is with out a doubt one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen.

Runners up: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Inside Llewyn Davis Best Worst Movie: Revenge of the Ninja Heavenly Creatures is currently streaming on Netflix.

No other movie this year hit me as hard as Heavenly Creatures did. It’s a psychological ride that works on the shoulders of the imaginative direction and powerful performances of the two leads. I found that Heavenly Creatures not only scared me, but also connected with me on a pretty deep level. The girls can’t live with this and enact revenge on their parents.

Their parents think that they are taking things too far and try to separate the two of them. It’s the true story of two New Zealand girls who become seriously attached and begin to live in a fantasy world together. Yes Heavenly Creatures, Peter Jackson’s first big splash onto the film scene, has beaten out his newest, The Desolation of Smaug. It’s just culled from all the things I did this year. And remember I don’t constrict this list to things that came out in 2013. So anyway here are my favorite 10 things from 2013. Once again, things are weird, and by the looks of it next year has potential to be way weirder.Īs I sit here and listen to Of Montreal swoon in my ears I realize you probably don’t care about how weird a year I had. It’s been a time of friends leaving and coming into my life at a rate I’ve never really experienced in my life before. Of course I’d be reminisce if I didn’t mention probably my favorite moment of the year: when our kickstarter funded and the again when we got another hundred dollars from a complete stranger. I can’t really place it, but 2013 just has been weird.
