2011 Top 10 — My Lists

By

Well, 2011 is behind us now. It was a damned fine year and I bid it a fond farewell. Yet, I look for­ward to 2012 as the year to make or break. I have a bucket load of big plans for the year, includ­ing two new books, a road trip of epic pro­por­tions and a short film… all by year’s end.

I’m an artis­tic soul, inter­nally as well as exter­nally. I love great pho­tos, great movies, great music, etc. So, to see the year out and take a quick look back, I fig­ured I would share some of my faves from 2011.

Top 10 Movies I enjoyed (in no par­tic­u­lar order, really):

  1. Super 8
  2. Harry Pot­ter and the Deathly Hal­lows — Pt 2
  3. Thor
  4. Colom­biana
  5. Cap­tain America
  6. X-Men — First Class
  7. Rise of the Planet of the Apes
  8. Brides­maids
