2010 Film List

Ye olde blog has seen quite a bit of erosion due to the need for the transition and expansion of text written for television to the web. A new year marks a time for starting over, so perhaps the regular updating of my 2010 film list will pave the way for more attention given to this site.

This year I am going to experiment with film evaluations on the 100 point scale. Grades will remain my official ratings. The numerical values will just be additional flavoring. (The numerically ranked list can be found here.)
