Saw Little Miss Sunshine, which I enjoyed but don't see the massive outcry of affection for it as particularly logical. It is a solid ensemble comedy/drama and everyone is entertaining (Steve Carrell is particularly good) but it isn't the Best Picture I've seen in the last year, or ever. But I liked it. B.
And, um, watched Reindeer Games against my better judgment. Matt put something on that he could sleep through, but I watched. Ben Affleck was pretty blase, but it had a pretty strong performance by Charlize Theron, especially towards the end. Not worth the awful reviews it got either. B-.
Basically I think most films that get accolades across the grid and raked across the coals, probably are somewhere in-between.

I have not seen Reindeer Games but then I'm not a huge Ben Affleck fan. I'm always willing to give things a go though!
I didn't think much of Charlize Theron until 'Monster' and she was amazing. So I may give this one a go now!
