Dearly Beloved…

We are gathered here today to celebrate this entity that was named “Twenty Ten”.

It was a very giving soul – one that told us wonderful stories about kings, swans, and monsters.

It taught us always to be wary of things we’d heard before. To prove it, it took us by the hand and showed us the further adventures of four unlikable women from New York, a once valiant green ogre, and a strange computer world where people like to play frisbee. Oh yes, and pretty young people “stepping up”.

It wanted us to see the world, and to that end showed us the wonders of Italy, Sweden, England…and even my beloved Toronto.

This year will be missed as it was a year that made us work. It liked to play tricks with us by seemingly offering us a bounty of stale, unfulfilling treats. But this was just its way of getting us to search harder for true delights, which we found in excess if knew where to look. A good lesson to be learned, and one that I won’t soon forget.

Good night sweet prince. May flights of helpful ushers take you to your sweet snack counter in the sky…

So for your consideration, here are the year-end top ten lists from the blogs I follow. I realize I’m a day or two early as many in the community haven’t posted their lists yet. To that I offer that if you want yours included, leave a comment and I’ll add it to the links. Or, if you’re one of my non-blogging readers, feel free to leave comments with your own year-end top fives and tens!

CAST – A collection of online Toronto film cinephiles of which I am a member.
