Viewing Log: 2010
I didn't actually keep a viewing log for 2010, so I had to cobble this one together from the archived order of my IMDb ratings, Amazon purchases and various message board posts. As a result, the ranking of the titles is just a rough estimate, though as close to the actual chronology as I could remember.
