Film Round Up: December 2011

Most of the films I have seen for this particular month (of last year) has to do with re-watch. I have re-watched films of 2011; those oldies but goodies musicals and dramas by Cukor and Minnelli has also definitely took most of my time. And since it was the month of Yuletide season Christmas vitamins such as Home Alone, The Polar Express, The Holiday and vice versa has got me all glued to the TV screen. But  there are films that I haven't seen before that managed to captured my attention before the year ends. Alors, since my internet access is too limiting -- time and speed is of the essence -- so that's all for now.
