There was a good number of smart movies that audiences didn't connect with - IN THE LOOP, STATE OF PLAY, A SINGLE MAN.
The action movies were better - TAKEN, DISTRICT 9, SHERLOCK HOLMES.
The "interesting but don't work for whatever reason" movies were in huge abundance - JENNIFER'S BODY, ME & ORSON WELLES, THE LOVELY BONES, THE ROAD, BAD LIEUTENANT, BROKEN EMBRACES, WATCHMEN, DUPLICITY, THE LIMITS OF CONTROL, THE INFORMANT
By mid August, you could go the theatre and see the best work by a C student or lazy work by an A student.
And 2009 had two of the funniest movies of the last ten years: HANGOVER and BLACK DYNAMITE.
2009's batting average is much higher than 2011's.
