The Moviegoer Parts V & VI: September - December 2009

After extensive scientific investigation, I have determined that I failed to update readers about my moviewatching habits for September and October of 2009, so this is an extra-special long version of this supposedly bimonthly feature.  Remember that some of these movies are re-viewings.

Here's the shameful part.  I have only finished one book in the last four months.  I've been re-reading Gravity's Rainbow for the fourth time, and I'm lingering over it.  I've also been reading occasionally A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again and, in the last couple of weeks, Farber On Film. But I have yet to finish either.  So the only book I finished was Richard Price's Samaritan, which I polished off in a day or so.  Oh, and I read a couple of Roald Dahl books to my son, too: James And The Giant Peach and The Giraffe, The Pelly, And Me.  His mom is reading Mathilda to him now.

I intend to continue to document my pop culture intake in 2010, but I'll have to change the numbering scheme for this feature because the run-on roman numerals just won't work.
