I thought Dark Knight had the possibility of being very good... if not for Bale. We still joke around about his horribly fake deep voice. "I'M BATMAN...." OK. Sorry Bale, didn't do it for me. Borderline ruined the movie. A few others also didn't fare too well.
Haven't seen the latest Indiana; I'll probably pain through it some day semi-soon. Thanks for the warning. :)
Never heard of "Vicky..." or "There Will be Blood" so I can't comment there.
For my taste however, No Country was a waste of 2 hours. I've been reading here as of late this is a "Coen film". The poster mentioned other Coen films, none of which I liked either. That goes for Tarantino also however, so I guess I just don't like "popular" (?) movies.
Overall I have to definitely agree with your conclusion. I rent a movie once every 1-3 weeks. I'm shocked when I go because I always think to myself.. "self, I haven't seen a movie for a while, so there'll be TONS of great choices". Self is usually wrong. :)
