Remembering the 2010 Oscars

This last Sunday was the Oscars, where they give awards to those who created works of film deserving [some times not deserving, depending on your views and opinions] of public and peer recognition. I’m a self-admitting Oscar whore. When the award show is on, not much else matters during the 3.5 hour televised event.

Top 9 Movies Of The Decade – 2000-2009

Compiling a list of my favorite movies of 2009 was easy compared to having to go back for ten years of movies I’ve seen. Which is why this is being posted in 2010 and not on one of the final days of 2009.
I kept this to nine movies. I could have added more, [...]

2012 over Avatar?

I had someone read my Top Movies of 2009 post and asked why I had the movie 2012 on the list, but not Avatar. Let me see if I can offer a decent explanation.

It’s taken me all week to put together another post. Busy, busy and more busy. But finally, something to tide you over until Scooter Sunday.

Unlimited Movies, No Time

I’ve been a Netflix member since 1999. I love the service, selection, the fact they rent Blu-Ray discs and I’ve been pleased with how I’ve been treated as a customer for almost 10 years. And I love movies. Love.. LOVE movies. But I’m thinking about quitting… Why?
