Due to this I have decided to discontinue writing for this blog. If there comes a point where I feel that there is a reason to start it up again, I will do just that. And of course I won't get rid of this page. That being said, I don't want to have that notion in my brain that I should feel obligated to update this site more often. Which is a stupid idea for a page that gets probably eight views a month(five from myself).
So I decided to go out with a bang. I know I promised posts about games or music on this blog, but I figure that since I've been writing about movies so far I shouldn't stop now.
Everybody likes top 10 lists. And it's the end of the decade. Therefore, I'm going to be writing posts for my ten favorite films of the past decade. This won't be like the previous post which was just one long compilation. I will split this one up. Over the last month of this year, I will attempt to publish a new post approximately every 3 days. So by the end of December I will hit my favorite movie of the last decade. I'm sure all three of you reading this will be freaking out over all the suspense over the next month.
How did I come up with this list? Well, obviously there's some personal bias. I tend to like movies that are creative and more independent. That's not to say that just because a movie is different it's great. I think everyone should see Synecdoche, New York, just because it's something so original. But I can't possibly say it's a great movie. In the same way, the first movie I'm going to put on this list is a very commercial film. But there is a reason why it was popular, and there have been many wonderful high-grossing films from this decade.
Unfortunately, it is often the case that many great movies don't get the commercial attention they deserve and are much harder to see. Because of this, I decided that for this post I will list ten movies(in no particular order) from this decade that might be on this list if I actually saw it.
I'll see you with #10 in approximately 3 days.
