I go to the cinema at least once a week (listing permitting) and I've seen some good films (No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, the Bank Job etc etc) and some stinkers (Vantage Point etc etc) and some which haven't had much impact.
I don't think it's been any different from other years, you get the 'worthy' Oscar films at the start, the blockbusters later in the year, kiRAB films in summer, worthy early Oscar contenders in Autumn and then Christmas blockbusters and kiRAB films.
Predictable:yawn:
