Finally I'm finished with this arduous project!
I used Macromedia Director to create a simple interactive shockwave file that allows you to view the content for my top ten Best of Films of 2004. The purpose in doing this was primarily so that I could use the program again and add it to my resume.
(I created a more complex and larger computer based training program using this application in 1999 and felt my skills leaving me.)
I also wanted an environment for my top ten list that would be visually appealing and something more grand than just reading content on a webpage. I employed fade ins and transparencies that make the viewing experience a tad more interesting.
Now, regarding the movies: I know my top ten list means nothing being published so far out here in the middle of February of 2005. But when you have a full-time job, a family (with a newborn who is colicky), and a contract job, you only have so many minutes of each day you can sit down and write. (HINT to news agencies: If anyone out there would like to hire me full-time as a movie critic, you won’t be disappointed!)

****And here's a shout out (Hello) to Andres. Welcome and thanks for placing me in your list of connections on your website Web of Oscar 2005!*****
