2009 a good year for movies?

So I've been totally behind on writing on this thing but here goes.

2009 has been one of the better years for movies in the past decade or so. Mind you, last year we had Iron Man and The Dark Knight. However, the year on a whole wasn't spectacular.

Here's my evidence as I see it. (Skipping the bad ones of course)

Movies that have been released:

Taken
Watchmen
Sunshine Cleaning
I Love You, Man
The Soloist
Star Trek
The Brothers Bloom
Drag Me To Hell
The Hangover
Land of the Lost
Transfomers: Revenge of the Fallen
Bruno

Movies I'm Looking Forward to Seeing In Theaters:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
District 9
Inglorious Basterds
Halloween 2
9
Whiteout
Shutter Island
Funny People
Where The Wild Things Are
Saw 6
2012
Brothers
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Sherlock Holmes

Movies That Came Out or Are Coming Out That I Want to See on DVD:
The Unborn
Phoebe In Wonderland
The Last House On The Left
The Great Buck Howard
State of Play
Management
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Terminator Salvation
Away We Go
Moon
The Hurt Locker
500 Days of Summer
The Time Traveler's Wife
Surrogates
Couples Retreat
Antichrist
Planet 51

Disappointments This Year:
Knowing
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Angels & Demons
Up
Public Enemies

I Know I'll get some flack for the disappointments, except for Knowing....it was just that bad. But remember these are just my opinions. Official thoughts on some of the films I've seen this year will be coming shortly.
