JonnyD's Biannual Movie List

Once a year I visit IMDb’s website and sift through all the upcoming movies for their synopses and trailers.  I find a lot of films that go under the radar that I think I’d rather enjoy.  Unfortunately, the listings always peter out after 6 months out.  This is the first time I’ve actually looked at the list twice in one year.  In hindsight, I should probably do this three times a year.

Anyways, for the second half of 2011 here are the top 12 movies I want to see, and the trailers for top 4.
