Since 2005, I’ve kept track of every movie I’ve seen in the theater, on TV and on DVD/ VHS/Blu-Ray. We don’t have cable/ dish/ TV box, so we watch things online, and through Netflix, Redbox and the library. Oftentimes I’ll go a month without seeing a movie because we’re watching a TV series like “Alias,” “The Shield,” or “The Wire.” We enjoy going to the movies, but our schedules don’t often allow us to do so. Last year, I participated in a two-weekend event watching all of the Oscar Best Picture nominees. We’ll do it again this year. Some of these movies listed, I’ve seen twice for whatever reason.

One of the last movies I watched in 2011 was "Super," an awkward and at times gross movie with a lot of creative elements. My brother-in-law said he thinks it gets better each time he watches it. I don't know if I'll watch it again, but if you like "out there" films then it's worth watching once. The quote on the blu-ray sums it up.
