And now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my favorite films of 2011. (I’ll try to write a paragraph or two about them later).
Malick’s miracle is a narrative portent, where time and space meet in a cosmical and transcendental complicity.
Two Books
Admittedly I haven’t read much last year, but the words contained in these books had a profound impact on me.
& Five Albums
Those were my favorite sonic moments of 2011, non-classical or film related.

Dumpster: The Change-Up
I didn’t care about a single character and like u was pretty bored with it
The characters were so annoying
The trailer made it look funny, which made me want to go see it
I paid for funny, not charming. They deliberatly (sic) mislead me with the trailer
So I walked out and got my money back
