A collection of sorts

First off, this blog has kind of died. I get that. I am not sure if I will ever get back into the routine of this blog because, well, I am not sure the readership is there for how much time I was putting into thinking about the lists, or writing the reviews and all that good stuff.

Secondly, I am not watching as movies as before. This is due to monetary restrictions to be sure, but also because with the return of Musical Theater in my life, and being a bit more social, I do not spend as many hours in a dark movie theater alone.

That being said, I kind of miss it, the blogging about movies. I hate that I left my best of the Decade list unfinished and hate that I never did my big end of the year movie blow out. It haunts me in a way. This writing outlet was good to me during the years when I was not writing anything on my own and now that I have started writing for myself again, I kind of abandoned this project and the few faithful readers I have had for the last few years.

So here is what I am going to do. I am going to try and restart this little project. It is going to be small and humble for a while as I get back into the groove and I may not review every movie I watch. I might just review the good ones and the bad ones. So many of the middle of the road movies might just not be worth my time. For now, I will not be doing any lists, or extra stuff, except for tonight.

SO what I want to begin with is just a simple list of my top 10 favorite movies from last decade. Some of this will be repetitive, but I just want to get the whole list out there now. So, here we go!
