LAND OF CERPTS AND HONEY – ALL THE MOVIE REVIEWS 🐿️
THE SANGUINELY-BIFURCATED HAUNTINGLY-CARBONATED FLICKERS PROJECT 2010 🍾
So I don't have exact tallies of every movie I watched in 2010 and when - - however - - I do have my blog "The Land of Cerpts and Honey" on which I would review some films when I watched them. Since all the posts are dated, I'm using those dates to determine when I watched each film in 2010. This is necessarily a VERY incomplete list but the best record I have of my film watching for that year.
