As other friends have noted, blogging activity seems to be on the decline lately. In the spirit of the new year, I am going to try something I started back in 2007—wow, was it already two years ago now?—my weekly movie reviews. As always, these are going to be movies from my DVD collection, either ones that I haven’t seen in a while, or ones that I have never seen. (And yes, Citizen Kane is still sitting there in the shrinkwrap.) My attempt from two years ago only lasted about six weeks, but hopefully I can do better this time. If nothing else, I have a much larger television now, a complete 5.1 surround-sound system, and a recently-acquired Blu-ray player, so I am hoping to make my weekly movies more of an Event this time around. As always, please refer to the explanation for my movie rating scale if you need a refresher. Other than that, look for the first review this week!
