    Zaytoun
    Though Dorff isn’t the only thing wrong with Zaytoun, he is still its biggest liability, and the rare case where one miscast role ruins a film’s essential premise.

    Kids for Cash
    A heavy-breathing, narrowly focused outrage-generator about a corruption case that both the court of public opinion and the actual court system have already agreed was outrageous.

    No Good Deed
    To the film’s mild credit, it’s the rare woman-in-peril thriller where the woman takes intelligent steps to defend herself.

    Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
    Even for the third entry in a family franchise, the construction is lazy to the point of indifference.

    Always Woodstock
    The film uses its setting as lazy shorthand: for the nostalgia of lost childhood, the virtues of independence, and the spiritual purity of acoustic rock. And the hero unearths all this meaning while only having to interact with one person older than 30.

    Rising from Ashes
    A film’s quality should be measured not by its agenda’s transparency, but by its narrative heft. And the narrative is the problem with Rising From Ashes.

    Savannah
    A dull vanity project for the Southern highborn.
    • 34 Metascore

    Take Care
    The movie is dreadful, filled with painfully broad humor, grating performances, and acidly rendered characters.

    The Pyramid
    By the end of The Pyramid, found footage becomes just another possession to be buried alongside long-dead Pharaohs for use in the next life. Here’s hoping the next life has no return policy.
