    The Banishment
    The Banishment (Izgnanie) starts off like a thriller with a car roaring into the city and a clandestine surgery by a man to remove a bullet in his brother's arm. Then, ever so slowly, the movie falls into the clutches of long, solemn stares into space, meaningful drags on cigarettes, cryptic dialogue revealing little and a tiny drama that feels old, tired and empty of real purpose.

    Twixt
    One can reflect on what the young Coppola, with his masterful camera work and vivid imagination, might have done with such an opportunity. Unfortunately, the present-day one produces only tepid and tired imagery that would not earn high marks in any film school.

    Saving Private Perez
    This Mexican action flick from director-writer Beto Gómez has all the makings of a great comedy only no one told the filmmakers.

    Conan the Barbarian
    There is no purpose to the film other than random blood splattering amid scenes of bondage, primitive savagery and S&M eroticism. The film is numbing and dumb with its hero indistinguishable from its villains.

    Lucky
    Nothing is bleaker than failed black comedy, which this is.

    Horrible Bosses
    The lameness of the gags and dialogue and the film's frequent deep dives for the bottom at the expense of real comedy speak to desperation in Hollywood to figure out the audience for contemporary naughty comedy.

    The Big Bang
    Without Antonio Banderas, The Big Bang would be a whimper of a movie, too awful to watch.

    Your Highness
    There is little worse in the movie world than a spoof that falls flat on its over-costumed butt, but that's what you get with Your Highness.

    Arthur
    In the end, it isn't so much that the New Arthur isn't the Old Arthur. Rather it's the anti-Arthur.

    Beastly
    Rarely do films from Hollywood emerge in such an inane manner. Its rote characters are inevitably in predictable situations with no subtext or subtlety to any of their predicaments.

    Country Strong
    Feste, who has one previous effort as a writer-director, last year's "The Greatest," fails here to do the most basic thing -- give an audience a rooting interest, or any interest at all, in these four troubled people.

    For Colored Girls
    (Perry) style is too crude and stagy for Shange's transformative evocation of black female life, and his moralizing strikes exactly the wrong notes to express the pain and longing that cries out from her heated poetry.

    Memory
    A muddled and routine murder mystery tricked up with a science fiction gimmick that wouldn't pass muster for a "Twilight Zone" episode. The writing is poor, but the direction is even poorer. This is a film to delete from one's memory bank.

    Revolver
    The film's pretentious style and fractured storytelling preclude any audience involvement in the coy melodrama.

    The Spirit
    It is truly a mess.

    The Stepfather
    This remake turns a fondly remembered horror/thriller into a mild and tedious suspense film.

    A Sound of Thunder
    A gloriously lead-footed excursion into time travel with all the accoutrements of 1950s science fiction: an absurd plot, cliched characters, corny effects and a race against time to save mankind.

    Love Hurts
    The acting is overly broad, so even the dimmest light bulb in the audience gets the gags.

    Downloading Nancy
    The Swedish video and commercial director seeks artistic adventure but winds up with pointless self-indulgence.

    She Hate Me
    How can a director as savvy as Lee make so many errors of judgment regarding taste, tone, intention and dramatic structure?

    The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    Nothing anchors the lighter-than-air story as it drifts away under the direction of Stephen Norrington ("Blade") into an FX stratosphere where wit, character and vigorous storytelling cease to matter.

    Land of the Lost
    Lame sketch comedy, an uninspired performance from Will Ferrell and an overall failure of the imagination turn Brad Silberling's Land of the Lost into a lethargic meander through a wilderness of misfiring gags.

    • 30 Kirk Honeycutt
    The Honeymooners
    A lackluster affair, devoid of laughs and just about anything else one might construe as entertainment.

    The Brown Bunny
    In his second feature as a director, Gallo acts as writer, director, producer, star, cinematographer, production designer and editor. Thus, the failure is all his.

    Deck the Halls
    The sheer nastiness of the jealous one-upmanship and angry sabotage puts a damper on the yuletide comedy. You're much better off watching a DVD of "Bad Santa."

    Just Friends
    Just lousy.
    • 58 Metascore

    Splinter
    Splinter is a bad idea, borrowing body parts, as it were, from old horror flicks to genuinely unsatisfying results.

    The Lodger
    The film might amuse some, especially fans of Alfred Hitchcock, but is likely to annoy almost everyone else.

    The Cave
    A bottomless pit of lame characters, horror-film cliches and improbable monsters.
    • 37 Metascore

    Cold Creek Manor
    It's discouraging to witness a filmmaker who clearly yearns for the indie world yield to the temptations of mindless movie manufacturing. At least Figgis made it as soulless as possible.
