Resolution Reviews

I have quite a few resolution reviews to get caught up on (18 of them). I'm officially at 57 out of my 100 – 31 books and 26 movies.

Same disclaimers apply – if you've not read these books/seen these movies, there will be spoilers. Random squee, higher ratings for inconsequential crap, random babbling, all of it will probably be here in these reviews.
