WEBSITE: 10-Year-Old Movies

With the vastness of the internet and ease of creating a website, I am always amused with new and creative themes people come up with. When I first read about 10-Year-Old Movies on another blog, I had to check it out. The concept is simple: review, dissect, and discuss films that were released ten years ago. This is a fantastic idea, in my humble ZONINO! opinion, because the year 2000 brought us an interesting collection of movies, many of which are comically dated as we leave the single digit years of the first part of the new century. My favorite part of this site is that each re-review begins with a bulleted list entitled "Year 2000 Trademarks".

A lot has happened in the last ten years. Watching some of these movies brings to mind a simpler time when our big concerns were Y2K, starting a successful "dot com," and who was better - Britney or Christina. From a time when a Blackberry was still a fruit, Rihanna and Obama were not part of our collective lexicons, and no one knew what an iPod, "social networking," or a Kindle were, take a journey down memory lane with films such as Reindeer Games, The Skulls, Scream 3, and Down To You...and smile because you know you loved them once upon a time.
