  1. Return to Me
    Hunt is so vibrant that the movie suffers when she's not around.
  2. Chuen jik sat sau
    Too scattershot to take hold.
  3. From Hell
    Sensational and accomplished.
  4. The First Purge
    Where the Purge movies could have been about the slow — and then terrifyingly rapid — dismissal of morality and social norms, like "High-Rise," it chooses instead to skate through those haunted house scares and clunky symbolism.
  5. Blue Chips
    The folly of Blue Chips is that the film makes this greased-palm corruption seem an even bigger sin than it is. (It's like a political drama made by someone who is shocked, shocked at the sleaze of campaign financing.)
  6. Night of the Living Dead
    In the history of bad ideas, George Romero’s decision to produce a color remake of his disturbingly frenzied 1968 zombiefest Night of the Living Dead has to rank right up there with New Coke.
  7. Escape from L.A.
    Carpenter never was the filmmaker his cult claimed him to be, but in Escape From L.A., he at least has the instinct to keep his hero moving, like some leather-biker Candide.
  8. Wasp Network
    Visually, the appeal of Wasp Network is undeniable — all warm, colorful, open spaces, elegantly shot and peopled with beautiful actors. The intrigue could have used some of that heat, too.
  9. Eddie the Eagle
    The movie version of his life, fittingly, is a massive vat of hot cocoa with a mountain of whipped cream on top — sweet and warm and made with a ­mission to satisfy everyone who takes a sip.

    Bride of Re-Animator
    The original Re-Animator was made by an artist working on a wicked, energetic high. Bride of Re-Animator is a smart piece of hack work. In the end, it’s best left standing at the altar.
  11. M3GAN 2.0
    The actual plot of this movie is confusing and idiotic (I really had no idea what the main baddie was trying to accomplish), but luckily, this is not an obstacle to having fun.
  12. Bobby
    Bobby coasts along on a dread, and sorrow, it doesn't earn.
  13. Booty Call
    There are moments of lewd hilarity, like a game of footsie that turns genderifically confused. But Booty Call loses its dirty-minded, how-low-will-they-go-to-get-laid edge when the boys venture out into the New York night to buy condoms.
  14. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
    Alexander is pleasantly devoid of the vulgarity and too-current pop culture references that are the default mode for many contemporary live-action kids' pics, and its earnest celebration of family gives the movie a comforting throwback vibe.
  15. The Exterminating Angels
    The new movie, for all its huffing and puffing, explores very little, even if some of it is sexy in a Howard Stern-meets-"9 1?2Weeks" way.
  16. Portraits chinois
    A light romantic do-si-do.
  17. Malèna
    You wish that Malena's inner life had been given as much accent as her outer charms.
  18. Paper Heart
    The movie's hide-and-seek attitude toward truth mirrors the intricacies of one lover getting to know another -- an arresting notion of the heart that's much more than paper-deep.
  19. Dare
    Dare, a sweetly sexed-up high school triangle movie, is like a John Hughes comedy trying to pass itself off as ''transgressive.''
  20. U Turn
    U-Turn is an overdue event, a chance for Stone to apply his hypnotic acid-trip-of-the-soul wizardry to something sexy and lowdown.
  21. Oblivion
    Oblivion has enough special-effects artistry to keep you distracted for a while. But all the eye candy in the world can’t mask the sensation that you’ve seen this all before…and done better.
  22. Spies in Disguise
    It’s a proud piece of family entertainment with a good heart, an eye for inventive action, and a delightfully wacky sense of humor.
  23. The House of Yes
    The House of Yes is knowingly overripe, a kitsch melodrama that dares to make incest sexy.
  24. Greta
    A loony psychodrama so steeped in winking, twinkly-toed camp that it almost (almost!) escapes the leaden tropes of the genre.
  25. The Craft: Legacy
    By the end of Legacy, each of the witches has become less interesting and less distinct. You’ll find yourself asking, where are the weirdos, Lister-Jones? I'm sorry to tell you: They got left in the ‘90s.
  26. A Little Help
    Fischer's performance is sweet and subtle, but the film can be so understated in tone and plot that it's hard to tell if it's actually saying anything.
  27. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters
    The plot can't be summarized: Let's just say that crazy s--- happens, and occasionally, you laugh.
