As this year comes to an end... I decided on the spur Of the moment to share my list Of favorite films and books that I plan to watch and books to read next year.
Taking my cue from my good friends Sam Juliano and Allan Fish's over there at Wonders in the Dark...
I have decided to link back to Sam Juliano's last year list Of his favorite films from 2011... Here: Wonders in the Dark...
[Note: I plan to post Sam Juliano's list for 2012 once it's available...] Now, when it comes to Sam Juliano, Allan and their writers, I "swear" on...[just give me a Bible...lol] they have watched over a "zillion" films.[respectively,]
Below is a list Of films and books that I didn't watch and didn't read and hopefully, if things go according to plan[s] I will be able to add the following books and films to my shopping cart [aka Amazon.com...lol] next year.
[Note: For reasons only known to me I haven't watched a lot Of current films this year...Now, on the other hands I have watched tons Of classic films [mainly, because Of the classic film websites that I operate]...Therefore, in the upcoming year I plan to try and change that "over-sight." ]
My favorite animation this year hands down was...Tin-tin and Snowy, and the 3 seasons [animation] dvd set that I recently, received...Of course, this is my favorite book...too!
[I can't wait for the sequel...to this Spielberg and Jackson collaboration.Please forgive me for bragging, but I have even created a test blog for Tin-tin and Milou ...lol]
