Midnight Cinephile Takes Home It's THIRD AWARD - The Versatile Blogger Award!

As many of you know, the past nine months have sent my life into a bit of a tailspin that has been a bit tricky to come out of.  In August 2014, I was nearly killed when a stray bullet came through my living room wall, narrowly missing my head.  This lead to an immediate decision to get my family out of the city and out of potential danger.  Due to my mother in law's failing health, we decided that we would move up north to her parent's house to help.  We moved in mid-September and on December 21st, my mother in law passed away after remaining in a coma for two weeks.

The next few months proved to by quite trying as well as we faced one of the worst winters that I can remember in quite sometime.  Having moved up north also meant that my commute went from about 10 minutes to about an hour and 15 minutes on a good day.  Factoring in the constant snowstorms and record snowfall totals and many times my commute would end up being closer to three hours.

Due to all these (and other) factors, unfortunately, Midnight Cinephile has suffered.  My posts have been sporadic.  The podcast was put on hold.  Readership has fallen quite sharply.  But despite all of this, the core readership has remained and I cannot even begin to tell you how much that means to me.  Even more so, I can't believe that I've been nominated for an award!  And so I must thank Brandon Early from Movies At Dog Farm  for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award!  It means a lot to me and it has really served to light a fire under my ass to get my nose back down to the grindstone and get back to work.  There are so many movies that I want to cover.  The podcast needs revamping and there are more Midnight Cinephile projects that I want to get off the ground.  So thank you, Brandon.....thank you for helping me out of my slump!

Not one to shun tradition, I shall now in turn nominate ten bloggers that I feel are worthy of this honor!

Dave B @ 2,500 Movie Challenge
