December 2011 In Review

 Best Film of the Month: Brokeback Mountain

December 2011 was a busy movie watching month for me. With it being the last month of the year, I decided to play catch-up on many of the 2011 films that I had missed out on during the year, many of them being added to my top 30 of the year. It was a busy cinema-going month for me as well, with myself visiting the cinema 11 times! Another prominent theme for this month was watching the films of the legendary Ingmar Bergman, who is definitely one of my favourite directors. But without further ado, here's my list of movies that I watched in December and their ratings.
