Welcome to Inventory: a monthly column in which we take a moment to look back at the past few weeks and highlight articles that I have written that may be worth a second glance. From the archives of Optigrab, The Oscar Buzz, and CinemaBeach, the following is what I feel to be the Top 10 articles that I have written in any given month and feel the need to highlight. Also covered will be any known details on what will be coming up in the month ahead. So without further ado, let's take inventory and see what I have to say.

Comments: Gone Girl was one of the few breakout hits of the Fall thanks to a very twisted plot. I also believe that Amy Dunne's character is one of the best, most iconic performances of the year for a lot of very good reasons.
