    Who Do You Love
    For the most part, though, Who Do You Love does a marvelous job of recreating the times and the music and, most of all, of bringing to life this behind-the-scenes giant of the music business.

    Nanny McPhee Returns
    This comic fantasy will delight kids and parents alike.

    Insidious
    Insidious could have been something special: a horror movie that actually horrifies without resorting to gore. Instead, thanks to too many cheap jokes and a bit of silly music, it falls short.

    The Devil's Double
    In keeping with the flamboyant clan of despots that were the Husseins, the drama is ultraviolent and over the top and made absolutely mesmerizing by Dominic Cooper's electrifying turn in both roles.

    Water for Elephants
    Waltz is the highlight of this glossy but plodding drama, a live wire in a movie that sorely needs a jolt.

    Janie Jones
    What this predictable tale lacks in surprises it more than makes up for in charm, good music and the indelible performances of Alessandro Nivola and Abigail Breslin as father and child.

    Predators
    Predators is sometimes silly and hardly original, but it delivers the thrills.

    Going the Distance
    Likely to resonate with a generation of young people to whom "When Harry Met Sally's" orgasm scene seems downright quaint.

    Chloe
    Fails to completely satisfy, thanks to problems with the script that neither director nor stars can overcome.

    I'm Still Here
    I'm Still Here does leave us with one big question mark: What will Phoenix do next? How will he top such a flamboyant caper?

    One Day
    The dismal reality is that this romantic drama is a disaster, a dour "When Harry Meets Sally" that tries to jerk tears out of the story of a man and a woman who go from friends to lovers.

    She's Out of My League
    Sometimes hilarious, occasionally outrageous and terribly uneven.
    • 43 Metascore

    Survival of the Dead
    Silly and not nearly scary enough, this does not rank as grade-A Romero, but the story unfolds efficiently and economically and it provides plenty of laughs.

    Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
    This elegant weepie offers plenty for fans of melodrama, character-driven stories and period pieces.

    The Tourist
    A throwback to classic movies like Charade and North by Northwest where beautiful, sophisticated people answer life-threatening danger with bon mots and ingenuity.

    Battle: Los Angeles
    The movie's true horror isn't the murderous extraterrestrials, but the lame script.
    • 33 Metascore

    Gulliver's Travels
    A movie that ought to entice people to want to travel with Gulliver instead inveigles them to run from him.
    • 33 Metascore

    Just Go with It
    The positives have an edge over the negatives, but it probably doesn't matter either way. It is an Adam Sandler movie.

    The Black Waters of Echo's Pond
    Poor word of mouth should doom it for a quick ride to DVD oblivion.
    • 30 Metascore

    Marmaduke
    Very small children may well take a shine to the big, goofy dog and his furry friends, but parents and older siblings will be left squirming in their seats at a bland, predictable blend of bad comedy and sentimentality.

    You Again
    A talented cast is game, but the lazy script utterly fails them.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 50 Pam Grady
    Skyline
    This sci-fi thriller manages to blend genuine suspense with unintentional laughs.
    • 25 Metascore

    Case 39
    A mess of a horror movie that spent several years sitting on a shelf and should have remained there living up to its fullest potential as a dust magnet.
    • 23 Metascore

    Furry Vengeance
    The movie's simple-minded lesson that forests are good and development is bad is undercut the minute one pauses to think about how many natural resources were wasted on this sorry excuse for a motion picture.
    • 22 Metascore

    Twelve
    Unlike "The Lost Boys," there are no bloodsuckers in Twelve. Instead, it just sucks time: 98 minutes to be exact that you can never get back.
    • 20 Metascore

    The Last Airbender
    The problems begin with Shyamalan's script, which is an orgy of exposition. The characters explain and explain and explain some more, points driven home with the subtlety of a jackhammer.
    • 18 Metascore

    The Nutcracker
    To call this so-called family film dreadful is an understatement. Jaw-droppingly awful on almost every level, this is a movie to avoid.

    Ca$h
    A pathetic thriller and lame social satire that suffers from abysmal writing, poor pacing and terrible acting, even from the normally reliable Sean Bean.
