Films Reviewed in 2011

Ridley Scott's intense Black Hawk Down

Films I’ve reviewed in 2011 so far.. concentrating on classics I missed before (Metropolis, The Seventh Seal, Swing Time, Now Voyager), crime films, as I’m building a post of 100 Great Crime Films (Eastern Promises, Animal Kingdom, The Yakuza, Atlantic City, Badlands), films I’ve seen recently (Evergreen, Winter's Bone, The Company), foreign films (Climates, The Beautiful Country, Days of Glory), documentaries (Crumb, Hearts of Darkness, Capturing the Friedmans), and films no one has seen (A Boy Ten Feet Tall, which has less than 300 ratings at IMDB)
