    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.

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

    Into the Storm
    Not all of it makes sense, but for disaster movie fans, Into the Storm has enough destruction to go around.

    The Purge: Anarchy
    Like the first movie The Purge: Anarchy, is trash masking as social commentary, and its depiction of unrelenting, sanctioned violence can be hard to stomach.

    The Purge
    Good but not-good-enough schlocker.

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

    Think Like a Man Too
    Every character from the original is here, navigating the dating jungle, but this time there’s no pushing of Steve Harvey’s book.

    You're Next
    Targeted toward horror-film junkies looking for a terror throwback, You’re Next mixes gore and dark humor with yet another home invasion plot line.

    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 Boy Next Door
    It’s unashamedly of the B-movie variety — a quick and easy time-killer.

    Lottery Ticket
    It's hard to love and hard to hate.
    • 53 Metascore

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

    Oculus
    The flashbacks, which get almost as much screen time as the present day story, are far more compelling.

    Warm Bodies
    If you're a zombie purist or a fan of "The Walking Dead," Warm Bodies is not for you.

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

    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.

    A Perfect Getaway
    More scenic than scary.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Kevin C. Johnson
    Black Nativity
    Count Black Nativity as a more noble than notable effort.

    Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain
    The film is flat and lazy, and the audio mix is so low it sounds as if the audience is barely laughing. His cable comedy specials have better production values.
    • 31 Metascore

    The Lazarus Effect
    For the hour or so it’s on screen it’s a harmless, little chiller that doesn’t scare much but serves as a holdover until something truly scary comes along.

    Dracula Untold
    This toothless attempt is just dead on arrival.
    • 38 Metascore

    Ouija
    Directed by Stiles White, whose credits lean more heavily in the special-effect arenas, Ouija is bland, safe horror for those who like their scares nonexistent.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 38 Kevin C. Johnson
    The Virginity Hit
    If The Virginity Hit had been filmed as a straightforward sex comedy, it could've been a riot.

    Joyful Noise
    Nothing more than uninspired mushiness.
    • 31 Metascore

    Hot Pursuit
    The trailers for the Reese Witherspoon-Sofia Vergara comedy Hot Pursuit hint at a movie that’s unfunny, insufferable and obvious. You can’t say you weren’t warned.

    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.

    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.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 25 Kevin C. Johnson
    The Forest
    The Forest is flawed on so many levels. It’s a tiresome bore, and the story is filtered through white characters when an Asian lead could have carried the movie just fine.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 25 Kevin C. Johnson
    Get Hard
    This mess is guilty of being both racist and homophobic. And it’s as shamelessly lazy and crude as its title suggests.
