January 30, 2010 Dear Readers, As you may have noticed, due to some ongoing medical issues (nothing too serious--just exhausting), Bucket Reviews has been at a near-standstill for the past six months. While I managed to see all but about ten serious awards contenders in 2009, that's mostly because the year was amazingly frontloaded, with so much of the good stuff coming during summer. When I think about it, it's actually rather unimaginable that I haven't seen Crazy Heart, The Lovely Bones, Invictus, Broken Embraces, The White Ribbon, and others... all because I don't often feel like going to the movies. I had planned to use my time--most of it at home--to redesign Bucket Reviews. And I still plan to. The XML/CSS layout (new to me and this site) is all done, but there are many pages left to convert. I initially posted a completion date of January 15, 2010, but I found that I didn't have the motivation to fast-track the re-design because, without new content to post, it would seem anti-climactic. So when will Bucket Reviews be back? I dunno. Could be two weeks, could be two months. I do know that I am hungry to review, and I have some plans to at least return to criticism of movies available on DVD. (After all, I missed over 20 films in theaters this winter, some of them apparently better than others.) So sit tight and keep checking this page. Needless to say, I won't be back at SXSW this March, unfortunately. But, hey, maybe a comeback at Toronto is in order? I'll dream on that one. If you subscribe to the site's RSS feed (top right corner), then I'll post an alert as soon as new content is up. Until then, may the force be with you.
