We are only hours until 2012 finally comes rise to surface. While Filipinos are traditionally going back and reminiscing memories of the year before it ends, us too here on FilmPolice might as well do the same. This is FilmPolice's TOP 10 PINOY FILMS -- 2011!!!
Top 10: Wedding Tayo, Wedding Hindi/My House Husband (Ikaw Na!)
I decided to get this two together since the similarities are inevitable noticeable. Both circling through the issue of marriage and trying to satisfy our comic taste buds, Wedding Tayo, Wedding Hindi, and My House Husband (Ikaw Na!), starts off our list! Both films stirs the Best Supporting Actress of the 37th MMFF, Ms. Eugene Domingo, these two films are sure to roll your coasters out with laughter. Cliched sequences of course, though these films are highly enjoyable.
Top 9: Way Back Home
From Star Cinema, the producers that brought us a family drama classic, in the name of Tanging Yaman, "Way Back Home", is falling to the same category, and is ready to tug the heartstrings of the Filipino audience. Centering on a sibling rivalry, and the issues that goes with it, the film features young stars that are honestly one of the best in their generation talking about the acting artistry. Way Back Home is a modern-family drama that efforts to compel us with a beautiful story of pain, and love.
Top 8: In The Name of Love
Top 7: The Unkaboggable: Praybeyt Benjamin
A resembling story of "Mulan", achingly a third-sex version, "The Unkabogggable: Praybeyt Benjamin" is a story meant to salute the third-sex. Served in a comedic garnish, the film succeeds in showing how third-sex can also be a helping hand to the society. Or even a hero. A giggling through the movie kind of flick, it binds us in a spell where comedy and drama fits greatly. (FILM REVIEW)
Top 6: Dalaw
Kris Aquino plays a widow and a mother in this missed-chance horror. With a bit of consideration to some minute details, Dalaw could have been a better flick. Haunted by ghosts, lines from pinoy movies, and a ghoul dipped through mud, Dalaw becomes a breath-taking horror to the end. (FILM REVIEW)
Top 5: Rakenrol
Rakenrol is an indipendent-film starring Glaiza De Castro, Jason Abalos, and Deither Ocampo. While it talks about friendship, love, and the desire to make your dreams happen; it also convincingly presents a realism on friendship and love. With finely raw acting, and power edits and cameras, rakenrol is one rocking film.Top 4: Ligo Na U, Lapit Na Me
A love story of a fun one is surely enjoyable, and Ligo na U, Lapit Na Me, greatly falls in that category. Looking alike as "Friends with Benifits", the film consistently provides a realistic atmosphere of fun, love, and friendship. Edgar Allan Guzman mainly delivers the film, with ebullient sense and an innocent mind when it comes to sex. Based from a best selling Pinoy novel, the film is surely entertaining from start to finish.
Top 3: Thelma
Thelma is a gripping story of a local Ilocana lass who figures that she has the gift of speed. As a result, running as a sport became her new best friend. The story, the power acting, the stunner cinematography. Thelma is definitely one of the best films of this year.
Top 2: The Road
Yam Laranas is the known director of the exported-to-Hollywood film: "The Echo"--a B horror, based from an achingly better Pinoy version, "Sigaw". He is then back to scare with this one-of-a-kind horror. The Road has a number of cinematic moments, Laranas taken advantage of using lens flares--"filters from NY" as he tweeted it to me--and a revealing acting from the main villain, Alden Richards. (FILM REVIEW)
Top 1: Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story
'Tis ain't good if it weren't able to sweep all of the awards at the 37th MMFF at once... Kingpin stirs different vibes through out the movie--action, thriller, drama and a bit of comedic sense on the side. Although it could result to a tangling emotion to the film, it successfully assures the audience that whatever feeling the film serves, it would be something heightened to the audience's pleasure. (FILM REVIEW)
