Some Possible Changes

I think I'm going to change this somewhat to "streamline" a bit. Get rid of the film summary and just add some info like director, key actors, MPAA rating, and my rating out of 5. I'll probably go back and fix the ones for this year. I think I'll add TV shows and books as I go along as well. (For anyone who cares lol)
