There's still a few good ones here and there... Pan's Labyrinth, Brokeback Mountain, and There Will Be Blood come to mind. And hey, I liked WALL-E... but then, I am a sucker for cute, clumsy robots.
But yeah, there's a lot of crap to wade through. My problem is, I am very sensitive to camera movement and I get motion sickness pretty easily. The new thing is to make things "documentary" style, so the camera is moving slightly even in wide shots with no action. I guess it's to make things seem more real, like you're really there, but I think it's just a cheap trick... like hey, "This is so exciting I just have to move the camera a lot and I can't even show you what's happening." Argh. I have walked out of the theater with 2 out of the last 3 movies I have seen. Hancock being the latest. I didn't mind though, because it really started to suck halfway through.
