    The Replacements
    This programmatic male-bonding comedy doesn't even borrow well.

    Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    A straight exploitation story.

    Bats
    All I saw were unimpressive digital effects; artless, quick-cut abstracted gore; and a last-ditch attempt to evoke a visceral response by heaping the climactic scene with bat shit.

    Mercury Rising
    The actors' serious faces are out of place in this hopelessly silly action conspiracy.

    Down to You
    Prinze and Stiles regularly talk to the camera, but that doesn't make their characters self-aware.

    Analyze This
    This blunt comedy suffers from poor pacing, colorless dialogue, and subpar performances by the two leads that reveal just how much a director contributes to our perception of what a star is.

    Here on Earth
    Neither the love nor the loss in this tear-jerking romance contains much drama.

    Godzilla
    Overlong, neither funny nor scary movie about a big lizard.

    Dungeons & Dragons
    The plot somehow manages to be both hackneyed and convoluted.

    Spawn
    This hopelessly redundant action gross-out aspires to a form of hip vacuousness--and may achieve it.

    3 Strikes
    For every jab at hypocrisy in law enforcement or in the media's crime coverage...there's a scene's worth of uninflected scatology or misogyny.

    Jawbreaker
    This derivative concept movie is tiresomely slick as well as shamefully sloppy, and someone should issue a restraining order requiring writer-director Darren Stein to stay at least 100 yards away from irony.

    Bless the Child
    Horrendous dialogue and horrific directing dominate this thriller.
    • 20 Metascore

    Whatever It Takes
    Disingenuously naive romantic comedy.
