Goodness gracious me, it's weird to be giving this post that title! Has it really been twelve months since The King's Speech, Dead Space 2 and Come Fly With Me's first series? Believe it, and now we're about to enter a huge new year of entertainment, starting with the return of one of telly's biggest shows...NEW MOVIES- Two big new blockbusters hit this week- Ethan Hunt fights the entire world in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and Stiegg Larsson's most successful novel gets adapted by Hollywood with The Girl In The Dragon Tattoo. If you don't like those, then all the other big films of this season are still in cinemas...
NEW SHOWS- Charles Dickens' Great Expectations gets a modern reinvention from Tuesday-Thursday on BBC One, so look out for that; meanwhile, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow returns for a re-run of its latest series on Comedy Central.
NEW DVDS- Downton Abbey's Christmas Special hits stores fresh from its acclaimed first showing on December 25th; the third season of comedy show Misfits and Series Five of Futurama are immortalised in disc form; and a few big movies hit DVD and Blu-Ray too, including Cowboys & Aliens, Final Destination 5 and Apollo 18!
SHERLOCK- After Robert Downey Jr's incarnation of the world's greatest detective returned in the grand A Game Of Shadows earlier this month, fans such as myself were begging for more Sherlock Holmes adventures, and starting on New Year's Day we're going to get some with the second season of Sherlock, Moffat and Gatiss' stunning BBC drama. In A Scandal In Belgravia, Sherlock and Watson must escape the bomb-ridden swimming pool, before meeting the elusive Irene Adler and tackling a deadly plot of Jim Moriarty...expect TV greatness right here!
ON THE BLOG- I'll be reviewing Now That's What I Call Music! 80, Doctor Who Series 6: Original Television Soundtrack, Doctor Who: The Complete Sixth Series, Halo Legends, Harry Potter: Page To Screen, The Marvel Chronicle, Halo: Glasslands, the Blu-Ray versions of Thor, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Inbetweeners Movie, The Hangover: Part II and Star Wars: Episodes IV-VI, the DVD of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two and Sherlock: A Scandal In Belgravia, plus I'll preview what January has in store for Who fans and the world of entertainment as a whole, as well as this month's best release and my Top 5 Most Anticipated Releases of the next, and the rest of my Most Anticipated 2012 Films list. That's an ambitious list of articles that may not get finished for a couple of weeks, but I thought I'd give you a good overview of what's to come in the early days of 2012 (still feels weird saying that)!
