| Even though I never officially told you my top 10 of 2010, I'm going to give you my top 5 of 2011. We're approaching Oscar season and I wanted to see how drastically my list changes in the upcoming months. 5. Super 8 4. Warrior 3. Contagion 2. Larry Crowne 1. Hesher I was very surprised by most of these. I expected to enjoy Larry Crowne but I flat out loved it. Warrior at times felt a little "paint by numbers" but I can't deny that I was on the edge of my seat rooting for the characters. It pulled me in and I enjoyed every second of it. I didn't know what to expect from Hesher when I watched it but I loved it so much I watched it again the next night. It's incredibly funny while also having painfully emotional dramatic moments as well. And I found out it was co-written by Animal Kingdom writer/director David Michod. I see this list changing (and obviously expanding to 10) very soon. I'm hoping to see Drive this weekend and Moneyball comes out next friday. I'm very excited to see both of those movies and look forward to all the great upcoming fall films. P.S. My top 10 of 2010 ended up being: 10. Never Let Me Go 9. Animal Kingdom 8. Blue Valentine 7. Black Swan 6. The King's Speech 5. The Town 4. 127 Hours 3. The Social Network 2. Inception 1. The Fighter |

| This list will obviously change with upcoming films (and films I never got a chance to see in the theater). But so far I'd have to say these are my favorites:
10.
9.
8.
7. Kick-Ass
6. Iron Man 2
5. Shutter Island
4. How To Train Your Dragon
3. Toy Story 3
2. The Town
1. Inception
Hmm... I obviously haven't seen enough movies to finish the list. It's kinda sad that I can't pick 10 movies. I'm sure that will change with the Awards season coming up. |

| Aaaaaand I fail at updating.
I'm moving to California June 13th. That's the big news. My last day at The Weather Channel is June 4th.
So yeah.

| A year ago I wrote that a big change was coming June 2010. And then I said I'd obviously explain more later.
Well, a year has gone by and I'm still not quite ready to announce it to the world yet but I will soon. Not that it matters on this site. I think the only people who read this know already.
But still... I'm nervous about what I have to do this week.
Also I don't blog as much as I should. It didn't take me very long to find that post from a year ago.

| Looking back over my top ten list I can't help but think it should be different. I started re-watching The Hurt Locker the other day and was reminded just how good that movie is. It deserves a spot on the top ten. Avatar probably should be bumped. Also I've seen Crazy Heart and loved that movie too. Jeff Bridges deserves a spot in my "Best Actor" category. Also I realized I mentioned Moon's score as being one of my favorites and then forgot it when I made my top 5 Best Scores list.
...I don't know how I did that. Just goes to show how my lists are never really finalized.
