    Black Nativity
    Despite the odd rip-roaring tune and some sturdy performances, this yuletide tale is as memorable as last year's sprouts.

    Identity Thief
    Clever premise, witless execution.

    The Last Exorcism Part II
    A stylistic departure from the shaky aesthetic of the first film. Sadly, most of its nervy shocks and creeping sense of unease go the same way.

    Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
    This latest visit to Raccoon City captures the games’ spirit but fails to translate that to cinematic thrills.

    Overboard
    Hardly likely to convince anyone that remakes are worthwhile, Overboard ekes out laughs but fails to add the romance to the comedy. We’d leave this one in the water.

    Crawl
    As a mindless summer horror diversion, Crawl is watchable if rarely all that thrilling. The movie’s far from toothless, yet often substitutes easy scares for any real substance, and suffers for that.

    Jonah Hex
    Isn't one "Wild Wild West" enough? Okay, so Jonah Hex didn't come with the same expectations, but it's still an object lesson in how not to adapt a comic book. A crushing disappointment.

    The Kitchen
    The Kitchen flits through scenes, coming across as its own trailer rather than a full movie. And it makes disappointing use of its great components, wasting three chewy, thoughtful core performances.

    Brightburn
    Crossbreeding superhero tropes with horror staples was an idea laden with promise. Brightburn is enlivened by trademark James Gunn black comedy, but hamstrung by sketchy writing and a botched sense of dread.

    No Good Deed
    Elba's reunites with Luther director Sam Miller to lesser effect in a workaday home-invasion thriller.

    Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie
    Silly and aimed squarely at the younger crowd, Captain Underpants has enough spirit to be entertaining. Just don’t expect it to work all the time.

    Admission
    Occasionally charming but mostly bland fare from Weitz, despite the reliable cast. About A Boy remains the best showcase of his talents.

    Vampires Suck
    A Twilight pastiche with all the wit you'd expect from the makers of "Scary Movie" and "Meet The Spartans."
    • 21 Metascore

    Norm of the North
    Cheap and cheerless, Norm’s appeal melts faster than the polar ice. With characters so completely devoid of charm or entertainment value, even David Attenborough would call for a cull of this lot.
