Billie's Best of 2016

Happy new year! It is a Doux Reviews tradition that I get to post my "best of" piece last. Did you know we've been doing these year-end posts since 2009? This is our eighth year at this. Eighth!

JRS' Year in Review: Year of the Binge

2016 was a turbulent year that left many of us gasping. For me, the ups and downs meant I often sought relaxation in fiction. It became a year of series - whether it was bingereading or bingewatching, I mainlined fiction like Eddie Dean made love to heroin. So starting with books, then television, then comics, I'm going to review 2016 through a series lens. Note that while several of these are recently published or distributed, not all of them are; some are reviews of things which have only recently come on my radar.

J.D. Balthazar's Worst and Best of 2016

Let's face it, 2016 sucks, it's a rotten year, with a lot of bad mojo surrounding pretty much everything.

Josie's Best of 2016

What does this picture mean?

If you’re anything like me, you’re obsessed with cats. But that’s not all! You’re not just a walking embodiment of felinophilia. You are also a bundle of desire, especially when you’ve just finished watching or reading something wonderful. Not content with the happiness you’ve just experienced, you become overwhelmed with what comes next: “I want more! Where is my more?”

In the spirit of more, here’s my list of what I enjoyed in 2016 and what I’m looking forward to in 2017.

Mark's Best of 2016

Seasons greetings, faithful readers, and welcome to my look back at the best that the idiot box had to offer us in 2016.

Laure's 2016 in Review

The term 'an oldie but a goodie' might be on many a vision board if the trends in the big and small screens are any indication.

Juliette's 2016 Year in Review

This year, I am taking the bold step of making up my own categories for my Year In Review. This
inevitably means they may be quite boring categories!

I keep detailed records of all the films I see at the cinema, but not of all the TV shows I watch, so there may be a tendency for more detail in the Film categories. I've also watched surprisingly little TV this year, comparatively speaking, but hey ho, quality over quantity!

Heather's Best of 2016

A list of courageous entertainment!

Mallena's Best of 2016

Actually, this article is subtitled: The best of TV-PG, more or less. My pug and I are not very comfortable with shows that have a lot of nudity and violence, so I've never seen Game of Thrones. My brother-in-law says that Westworld is really good, but I’ll just have to take his word for it. I also don’t go to the movies very often; I prefer to wait until I can watch at home…so without further ado; here are my best picks for my favorite pastime.
