Thomas Balkcom’s Movies

Hello all.

I am finally back to 100% after a rough stretch of being sick. Due to that, it has been a rather uneventful week. My sleep schedule is finally back on track, I have been asleep before 10:30 the last two nights and awake before 7:00. I will hopefully continue this trend and get back to where I used to be. I am sitting here enjoying Observe and Report for the time being, I have a few errands to run today before going to work tonight.

I have a rough Top Ten done, and after seeing a handful films that I need to see, I will post it here. The films I still need to see are A Single Man, Breathless, Bright Star, Police, Adjective, Broken Embraces, and Crazy Heart. I can tell you all that this is the first year in which I have a clear number one, which is The Hurt Locker. The last few years I have really struggled between the number one and two picks, and in hindsight, I would most likely switch them. This is especially true with last year (switching Synecdoche, New York and Slumdog Millionaire).

Hawks improved to 25-13 last night, and with the Magic losing, we are just half a game behind them in our division. Glad to see us consistently winning games, save last Saturday night, with no mid-season slump. Fans, in true Atlanta fashion, are getting behind a winning team and hopefully this level of support this early will lead to being successful in the post-season. I am going to wrap this movie up, and head out for the day.

Thank you for reading!
