Happy Early 6th Birthday to SouthlandView

When I started this blog in August 2012, I thought it would be a fun way to write about movies in a low barrier to entry kind of way.  I always thought I could write a review, but I was afraid no one would want to read them.

It is now 6 years later and what began with a review of a Colin Farrell movie had turned into nearly 400 reviews, 30,000 page views and a sizable chunk of information about movies this decade.  My last two reviews have over 200 page views each, and my number one review has nearly 1,000.  Not bad for a spare time hobby.

Best of all, it has been an entree into a new world.  Through this blog which demonstrates interest, I have been able to preview new movies, attend film festivals, and participate in making 2 different movies.  All while getting to meet and know a lot of cool people that I would not have known about otherwise.

Looking back, it's funny to think about movies that came out before 2012 and that I didn't review them.  I won't have that problem going forward.  I see about 40 movies in a theater every year.
Considering that the industry considers a "moviegoer" someone who sees 1 movie in a theater a year, I'm way ahead of the game.

Thanks to Colin Farrell who has become the star of this blog. Looking forward to his next movie.
