I like keeping track of my viewing habits. Last year, I only counted NEW movies that I saw. This year, I wanted to count every single movie that I watched. The only rule is that I had to watch it from beginning to end. Or, on TV, I had to catch it within the first 15 minutes.

44 of those 182 movies came out in 2012.
And if you're wondering, the best movie I saw this year for the first time was Seven Samurai. I finally sat down and watched it this summer and, yes, it's brilliant.
Worst movie I saw? Red State, Kevin Smith's last film. Just terrible, in my opinion. It's not even that it was bad, I was having a bad time watching it too. The opposite of enjoyable for me, it was a negative experience overall.
