Films of 2012 - January Edition

So the year begins anew and I kicked off my movie watching with a bang.  I watched twenty two movies in January, that’s the most I’ve seen in a month since I’ve started keeping track.  It helps that it was Woody Allen month at the British Film Institute and I was desperate to see as many of his films on the big screen as I could but it’s also been a surprising good month for movies in general rather than the usual dumping ground that January normally becomes.
