With the year 2011 almost at an end it should be safe to make an overview. I will also start thinking about my New Year's Resolutions for 2012!
LOVED ITS in 2011
So, what entertainment did we have this year? Oh, lots and lots! We had some great new shows.
TV Series:
Game of Thrones. My favourite by far. Great storytelling, exciting characters and good acting.
Downton Abbey. Very rich history and some unexpected turns.
Once Upon a Time. Fairytales and pretty costumes. A chick favourite.
Suburgatory. Silly, short and humorous.
Supernatural. Still a fantastic show. A perfect blend of fantasy, comedy and a dollop of horror.
Terra Nova: Dinosaurs and sci-fi in one. Every episode feels like an experience. Spielberg was involved.
The Secret Circle: A great show about witches for teens and grown-ups alike.
True Blood: Another favourite of mine. Great season. We saw a new side to our resident evil vamp.
FILMS:
Sherlock Holmes: Games of Shadows. Just saw it and loved it. Very cleverly done.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: Great ending to a franchise. Exciting and satisfying.
The King's Speech: Period drama doesn't have to be dull. Top-notch acting.
Never Let Me Go: I cried. A lot. A film that's complex, multi-layered and very dramatic.
Senna: Not just a documentary. A thrilling look into the dangerous world of Formula 1.
X-Men First Class: Interesting back story and great action scenes.
Black Swan: Frankly, it's very creepy but still well worth a watch. Not sure I can sit through it again though.
MUSIC:
LMFAO: Quirky, fun and catchy pop. Sexy and you know it.
Katy Perry: Many cute, catchy tracks from Miss Perry this year.
Maroon 5: They made everyone want to Move like Jagger.
Cee Lo Green: Most inappropriately titled hit of the last decade? And no, ''forget you'' doesn't flow at all.
Rihanna: Some good songs but don't like her slutty stage outfits.
