Changing the rules, and a top ten of 2006-2010

Well, I started this blog four years ago this month. Over on the myspace it was, the idea being that I would engage myself with the films I was watching and not simply glaze over as the glowing screen flickered away. I had recently quit working in video stores and movie theaters (after a solid decade of doing so) and noticed: no one was asking my opinion on films anymore.
Also, I wanted enhance my critical analysis of film, figure out what worked for me (and didn’t) and why.

That and to improve my writing.

Over the course of almost 400 reviews: I feel like I’ve done that and its time to move on.
From here on, I’ll post only when I feel like it. No more assignments for now.
I will be posting photos of my day to day life over at www.brahbrahg.wordpress.com if you are interested and as I mentioned: still post here from time to time.

And because you’re dying to know: my ten favorite movies I saw in the last four years.
