    Sinister
    It comes together with a gruesome though excellent ending that some will find difficult to shake.

    Sparkle
    Energetic, colorful and packed with strong performances and musical numbers good enough to get by, Sparkle beams brightly.

    Katy Perry: Part of Me
    Perry manages to pull it off here, coming off completely likable and real, never insufferable and fake.

    Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap
    Ice-T delivers a love letter to hip-hop with Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap.

    The Five-Year Engagement
    There are enough F-bombs, a couple of chopped-off appendages and a flash of gratuitous male nudity to earn an R rating. But fans of producer Judd Apatow would expect nothing less.

    Think Like a Man
    Despite the crass book promotion, the overlong film is harmless romantic fun that's well played.

    The Cabin in the Woods
    Moviegoers looking for a thrill should go into The Cabin in the Woods knowing as little as possible about the film.

    Red Tails
    Overreaching fits of melodrama, occasionally stilted dialogue, and performances by Gooding Jr. and Howard that are mostly a series of serious faces can't keep the shiny Red Tails from taking flight.

    Joyful Noise
    Nothing more than uninspired mushiness.

    In Time
    After a nifty setup, In Time mostly fails to deliver as it gets lamer by the minute.

    Fright Night
    It honors the original throughout, including a memorable nightclub scene and a surprise cameo that's a huge crowd-pleaser, while at the same time giving updates to make it fresher and better than ever.

    Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest
    Despite accusations of nearly succumbing to spotlighting beefs over beats, the film comes off as an honest representation of a great group that's not to be forgotten.

    Jumping the Broom
    Amid other wedding movies crowding screens these days, not to mention Perry's "Madea's Big Happy Family," Jumping the Broom feels instantly familiar. And tired.

    Scream 4
    Don't be late to this homecoming of director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson's horror series, which begins with a twisty opening sequence that's bloody fun.

    Battle: Los Angeles
    The so-so film isn't nearly as good as any of the movies that may have inspired it, or even its own knockout trailer.

    The Rite
    That's right - this is an exorcism movie that those who actually saw "The Exorcist" in theaters can get into.

    For Colored Girls
    In the end, the movie is still a poetic injustice.

    The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
    Why the bloodsucker and the wolf boy treat Bella as if she's the cat's meow is still a mystery.

    The Virginity Hit
    If The Virginity Hit had been filmed as a straightforward sex comedy, it could've been a riot.

    Lottery Ticket
    It's hard to love and hard to hate.

    The Twilight Saga: New Moon
    May be one of the most fun-free, angst-ridden teens we've seen on the big screen in a long time.

    Orphan
    During a summer with the usual transforming robots and young wizards, this chilly flick is a bit of a break, and there are worse options than letting this Orphan in the door.

    The Back-up Plan
    With movies like this, Lopez might want to start leaving low-end romantic comedies alone and look at her movie career's backup plan.

    Splice
    Moves along well until the characters and situations become too ridiculous to be believed.

    Our Family Wedding
    Director Rick Famuyiwa did much better when focusing just on African-American culture in films such as "Brown Sugar" and "The Wood." Here, in bringing together two cultures, he does neither any favors.

    More scenic than scary.

    Machete
    Moviegoers will know in the first five minutes whether the new B-movie Machete is their cup of tea - or bucket of blood.
