Happy New Year 2011!

Only half an hour to go!
Well, it's been a pretty eventful year, both on a personal level and in terms of the wider world. I'm not going to bore you by doing a round-up of everything of note that's happened, but let's just say that in the last twelve months we've had (in no particular order) volcanic ash clouds; Wikileaks; a UK general election; some of the more severe weather in living memory; cuts, cuts and more cuts; the release of the most anticipated real-time strategy game of the decade; some truly outstanding Blu-ray Disc releases; and I made serious inroads in pursuit of a career as a screenwriter. Oh, and during summer everyone except me seemed to go nuts over some game involving people kicking a ball around a muddy field - go figure. So, a whole lot of stuff happened, some of it important, some not so important, and some damn near irrelevant - events affecting the world, events affecting the country, events affecting no-one other than myself...
On to matters specific to this site, in the next couple of days I'll be doing a feature on the best-looking (and perhaps also some of the worst-looking) BD releases from 2010... or rather the best ones I personally saw (contrary to popular belief, I don't pick up every single title out there). I'll also be doing my personal top 10 films of 2010, though you'll have to wait a little longer for that one as I don't want to pre-empt the next episode of the Movie Matters podcast. (And I've still got a bunch more films to watch...)
So here's to 2010, and here's to 2011...

Happy New Year, Michael. It's a little early but it's the thought that counts. I hope you go from strength to strength in 2011, and keep the website rolling.
