I've added some more categories. I really didn't want to add Drama/Story under Entertainment. I have always felt that Drama is such a catch-all description. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of how else to categorize movies such as Citizen Kane.

In fact, I think the Entertainment category is not working as I thought it would. The original idea is that movies can't be described in a word or two, like "Romantic Comedy." ^_~ I felt that the theme of movies need to be broken down more finely. Unfortunately, so far it looks like movies CAN be summed up in a word or two. Especially if you allow the use of Drama.

So while I plan to continue trying to categorize, rate, and track the movies I watch using this method and to refine the method, I don't think I'll embarrass myself any further by posting them up anymore. :-p
