Jarv’s Birthday Series Redux

Because it went so well last year, I’m having another run at the Birthday Series.

This is the idea:

Find a film released somewhere in the world on or as close to your birthday every year and review it.

Sounds simple, eh? Well, it isn’t. There’s a mix of the good, the bad, and the painful. Some of it I will have seen before, some of it I will never have heard of. Below is the full list, and unlike last year, I’m starting with 2011 and working back.

Wish me luck…

Oh, and the below list is not definitive, and liable to change due to the availability of the films.
