    Wrong Cops
    No doubt a labor of love, the result is just plain laborious for the audience.

    The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure
    Will your preschoolers enjoy it? Perhaps. Is it worth 88 minutes of their lives, or yours? Not in a world where "Sesame Street" is on TV every day. Not even in a world where "Sesame Street" didn't exist.

    Atlas Shrugged: Part I
    With a plot devoid of suspense and characters without complexity, Rand's iconic line elicits merely a yawn, or a shrug.

    Halloween: Resurrection
    Like its parade of predecessors, this Halloween is a gory slash-fest. It can't escape its past, and it doesn't want to.

    Final Destination 2
    Despite some imaginative fatalities, is less a movie than a slick video game.

    Sorority Boys
    The situations and jokes are as predictable and as lowbrow as the endless pratfalls the boys take in their high heels.

    All the Queen's Men
    The British intelligence operation at Bletchley Park that cracked the Enigma code is truly the stuff of great drama. But that story doesn't offer Matt LeBlanc in a wig and heels.

    Two Can Play That Game
    Throws its obvious predecessor, "Waiting to Exhale," into relief, making that 1995 syrupy revenge fantasy look positively Shakespearean next to the moronic Two Can Play That Game.

    House of the Dead
    Unimaginatively recycles all the teens-in-the-woods gorefest conventions.

    Resident Evil
    A video game cum movie that substitutes shrieking decibel levels for a coherent plot and any resemblance to originality.

    Knockaround Guys
    There's nothing original about the father-son conflict that forms the core of the film, nor is there enough suspense and drama.

    Kangaroo Jack
    The film's crude humor and violence -- cartoonish, but still violent -- should offend parents of younger kids. Yet its ultra-broad, pratfall-filled comedy will satisfy only the most indiscriminate teens.

    New Best Friend
    Tawdry, trashy yawn-fest that makes the viewer long for the days when bad girls were dangerous dames with sultry style.
