    Fantastic Four
    From less a purist's standpoint than a seeker of serviceable junk food, this comprehensive waste of time is too bouncy to be an "Elektra" bummer, but should make Marvel mascot Stan Lee think twice about burning another lucrative bridge with unintentional hilarity.

    Smyrna: The Destruction of a Cosmopolitan City - 1900-1922
    Filmmaker Maria Ilioú's uninspired flake of talking-head Wikipedia cinema focuses on the forgotten Anatolian port city's post-World War I years.

    Neander-Jin: The Return of the Neanderthal Man
    Director-producer Florian Steinbiss's German-set, largely German-cast comedy mixes genres with all the quality control of a fourth-grader dispensing every soda flavor into one cup.

    Landmine Goes Click
    It's an exploitation film that never gets its audience off, even with cheap thrills — what a dud.

    Tio Papi
    Doesn't try to be anything more than a soft-serve pull of treacly pandering.

    One Candle, Two Candles...
    The overall comic premise is both clumsy and truly icky, because how exactly do you make progressive good on a "parody of violence against women" logline?

    It Takes a Man and a Woman
    The final leg of director Cathy Garcia-Molina's exceptionally broad, partly English-dubbed cockles-warmer of a trilogy outright apes Hollywood rom-com formulas with a personality so affably lobotomized it wouldn't dare frighten delicate tastes.

    Love Sick Love
    Attempts to transform meet-cute romance into an absurdist fatal-attraction thriller, but ends up neither fish nor fowl.

    Jenny's Wedding
    Lazy, schmaltzy, and on-the-nose from its Hallmark-friendly production design to its rancid pop-music cues and naive dialogue.

    The Word
    Attempts to offer the white-knuckle gratifications of a studio procedural with a conspicuous lack of production values, screen talent, plausibility, originality, or a lick of aesthetic flair.

    Colossus
    If cinema's most narcissistic actor-filmmakers were swimming in a talent pool, with Vincent Gallo confidently backstroking in the deep end and Eric Schaeffer wading in children's pee, Hendrickson's dipping his toe near Tommy Wiseau.

    Murder101
    It's the very definition of direct-to-video schlock.

    Swearnet: The Movie
    Canadian comedy hits rock bottom in this abhorrent meta-infomercial.

    Unthinkable: An Airline Captain's Story
    Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean your speculations are sound, your writing and filmmaking skills are passable, or that you're preaching to anyone but the fearfully converted.
