Two films stand out head and shoulders from all others as the worst films of the year, both of which gained from me 0/10 and they are the utterly egregious Observe And Report and the equally woeful The Men Who Stare At Goats both of which plumb new depths of rubbish cinema.
One might say that the latter is even more lamentable considering the thespian skills involved but there are few people who can surpass the ability of Seth Rogen to produce films which are about as entertaining as having your appendix removed by an inebriated surgeon using a blunt knife and no anaesthetic.His list of failures now include not only the bilge of the recent Funny People as well as Zack And Miri Make A Porno and the above named film.He is starring in the new adaption of The Green Hornet which ordinarily I would be looking forward to but now I await with dread.
On the plus side I would say that the films I enjoyed this year the most,in no particular order are:
District 9
Gran Torino
The Invention Of Lying
Orphan
All of which in their own different way I thought were wonderful,and all being of different genres - science-fiction,thriller,comedy,horror.

However,in my opinion the best film of the year is the previously reviewed Harry Brown being as it is such a wonderful example of acting by Sir Michael Caine,harrowing as most of the film is.
