God, I love cinema. Each year I'm reminded of the sheer force a couple of frames can hold, and it's something only found in film. It seems to just fly by, and if you don't pay attention, you might miss it all. A gorgeous masterpiece about one family coping with the end of the world, the portrait of a young man diagnosed with cancer, the end of a ten-year adventure that reached millions, a cynical writer discovering the magic of Paris... No matter how you look at it, 2011 had something to offer for everyone.

After Cinema 2008, 2009 and 2010, I decided to take a new approach. Artists like Gen and Matt have explored new terrain of the end-of-the-year montage and the urge to keep Cinema's identity intact became bigger than ever. After experimenting with a more personal vision last year, I decided to focus more on the year itself rather than my vision on it.

The Cinema series has a special place for me because bringing so many films together makes it so very clear why we want to spend hours and hours in a dark room filled with strangers. As always, thanks a million to my wonderful subscribers and viewers, everyone who I've had the joy of sharing my passion with and everyone else who've made my YouTube career such a wonderful success. This one's for you.
