There was only one distinct new year's resolution I had last year; watch a 100 movies at the cinemas. I have failed miserably.

You know what though, I think I can live with myself. Every half-decent movie that has been released in Australia this year, I have seen, and equally, I have chosen not to watch quite a few movies, having heard horrendous things about them. My only regret is that I was hardly a film festival goer, and that is something I will rectify next year. Even if I have to go alone, damnit!

Anyways, you know the drill, ranked top to bottom, no justifications.
