Where on Earth has 2011 gone? The years now seem to be going by in just a matter of weeks not months; very worrying. Anyway I figured now would be a good time than any just to reflect a little on the films I've seen in 2011 and name my favourite films, actors, moments; good and bad etc.

On another note, I don't know how it's like outside of the UK but I'm pissed that where I live I would have to travel miles to see some smaller movie such as the Tree of Life, Take Shelter, and the Artist to name a few instead of visiting my local cinemas just about 10 minutes away. Annoying.

Honourable mention to the outstanding performances of Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law and Jared Harris in Sherlock Holmes 2. Was such an entertaining film.

For 2012, cannot wait to see the Avengers and the Dark Knight Rises. Spielbergs War Horse and long anticipated biopic Lincoln are a must as well. A Dangerous Method, Shame and the Iron Lady also tick my boxes.
