The end of the year is a time when I always get an itch to make Top 10's. My favorite list to make has always been the list of my 10 favorite movies of the year, but this year it's not something I'm looking forward to that much. I can easily make a list of my favorite rap albums, since I have heard many great ones this past year. Same goes for the list of favorite games. Favorite books. Heck, I might even be able to make a top ten of favorite comics I've read! But movies?
Due to various reasons, my wife and I have hardly seen the inside of a cinema. Sure, we've seen ten movies, more than that even, but most of those weren't the type of movie you would want to put in your top ten. And you know you haven't been in the cinema a whole lot if it's easier to make a top 10 of movies you have missed. Luckily, we have quite a pile of DVD's lying around of movies that were released last year, so we can do some catching up. And catching up we have to do if I am to make a list I can look back at in a few years and think: "Yeah, those were some damn good movies". So, dear, if you are reading this, cancel our appointments for the rest of the month, we have work to do :)
(If I would have to make my top ten now, Ratatouille would be number one. I think it actually has a pretty good chance to end up there at the end of the year as well)
