Movies of 2008

OK, I'm really kind of tired of this. Here we are almost SMACK in the middle of 2008, which is supposed to be one of the biggest years for films in a while, but so far things have either been AMAZING or just awful. I believe it comes down to a science in "Every Great Movie we get; it needs to be answered by 5 Terrible Films". That is not a good ratio for filmgoers, trust me. Case in point:

Cloverfield to Doomsday, Drillbit Taylor, Never Back Down, Jumper, 10,000 BC

Iron Man to Speed Racer, Forbidden Kingdom, The Strangers, Redbelt, and sadly, Indiana Jones 4


Why can't we revert to the days when films were still bad, but at least watchable. I can barely count the times I catch myself yelling at the screen and how it has tricked me into wasting yet another 2 hours of my life. At this rate, the next 12 big films have to be OUTSTANDING in order for this ratio to be balanced, and I still have a shred of faith.

I'm with you, Matt, pretty much. But, if I'm reading this right (and I'd like to think I am) you're saying you liked Cloverfield.
