Home Viewing Log 2009

Not that you asked: here's a list of movies I've watched outside of a first-run theater in 2009 (that is, mostly at home, but occasionally in rep houses or on airplanes.)

I'll post some write-ups soon. The log doesn't have dates, simply because I haven't kept track of them. Maybe next year. Nearly all of the viewings are made possible through the wonders of Netflix.
