2009 Notebook: Vol 2

I still haven't quite figured out how to categorize the films I watch yet, so most of them are getting their own special categories until I can think of something more universal. [I know this sounds really anal, but I'm really pissed off with iPhoto, as it won't let me set a cropping size for my photos... annoying, I know]
