    The Learning Curve
    A euphemism for the right of anyone to make movies just as awful as those of big studios.

    Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Doesn't do much with its pseudosavvy characters.

    Half Baked
    I kind of liked this slow, stoner comedy.

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

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

    The In Crowd
    Formula thriller that exploits homosexuality better than murder-mystery clues.

    Freddy Got Fingered
    The earnestness of some of the drama in the only deceptively unsophisticated narrative may be more shocking than any of the gross-outs.

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

    The Avengers
    The grasping novelty of the visuals doesn't rival the uncharismatic leads or the hopelessly, unironically banal plot.

    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.

    Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
    But the most stimulating, satisfying aspect of this action fantasy is the theme music.

    Whipped
    This gross sex farce actually has a point, though about half the population won't like what it is.

    Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    Seems like a miscalculation on multiple levels.

    Screwed
    First-time directors Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski must have written the script for this comedy when they were about 12--and not changed a word.

    A Question of Faith
    Ill conceived or badly handled.
