The Thin White Dude's Movie Of The Month: November 2011 - Life In A Day

Andrew McDonald (and the YouTube community) helms this great documentary that covers just about everything we need to know. Some of the best of moments of this year in film are to be found here, and in terms of the postmodern, information-era documentary, I think this might well be the best one. Engrossing viewing, highly entertaining and very touching, Life In A Day is a wonderful achievement in cinema history.

The Thin White Dude's Prognosis - 8.4/10

Runner-Up: I Saw The Devil - A brutal, intense thriller from Kim Jee-woon boasting two fine performances from Lee Byung-hun and Choi Min-sik

Second-Most Deadly Disease: Suck - Not a bad film, but makes no effort to be consistently average

Avoid Like The Plague: 5 Days Of War - Ridiculous balderdash that makes you want to stick on Cliffhanger to purge you of your sins
