  1. Draft Day
    Draft Day is "Moneyball" Lite. And if that sounds like a slight, it's not intended as one.
  2. Camp X-Ray
    The depiction of Guantánamo Bay as a banal, ugly hole of a place waiting to be condemned makes for a compelling first half hour in this military drama.
  3. Why Did I Get Married?
    Perry is of the spell-everything-in-capital-letters and act-it-out-loudly schools. Yet his sensitivity to women is a tonic.
  4. Blue Steel
    Blue Steel lacks sustained storytelling craftsmanship, and it never approaches the saturnine intensity of the film it sometimes recalls, Michael Mann’s Manhunter (the greatest thriller of the past decade). But it makes you eager to see what Bigelow could do with a good script.
  5. Music of the Heart
    A sentimental epic that forgets to include the sentiment
  6. Gerry
    The movie is on some level a stunt, but it has the fervent, sun-dazed pull of an authentic experience unfolding in real time, with glints of drama, comedy, and terror mixed into the almost-but-not-quite tedium.

    Family Business
    Family Business is one of Lumet’s very worst movies, but the actors are stellar.
  8. Cocaine Bear
    It's all patently ridiculous, and even at 95 minutes, a stretch to call this loose cannonball of high camp and sticky-bright gore a movie.
  9. Luckiest Girl Alive
    Luckiest Girl is the kind of rainy-day thriller Netflix was made for: lurid, entertaining, patently silly. It's also kind of a mess, though at least some of that likely comes from condensing the busy, grisly events of a best-selling book into less than two hours of screen time.
  10. Observe and Report
    The superb character actor Celia Weston (In the Bedroom) is truly breathtaking as Ronnie's boozer mom.
  11. The Magnificent Seven
    This Seven’s just silly, solid entertainment: multiplex fun by numbers.
  12. Eddie Murphy: Raw
    Watching his deft, effortless character work chafe against the outermost boundaries of the stand-up format, you sense the transgressive energy of Richard Pryor filtered through leading-man charisma — albeit tinged with hostile paranoia.
  13. The Little Things
    In the absence of a clean ending, then, what's left is the familiar intrigue of smart men squinting dolefully at distant horizons and bloodied crime scenes, an ocean of bottled-up feeling, and a movie that takes a good half of its secrets to the grave.
  14. Bee Movie
    Agreeably skewed fun.
  15. Rock Star
    This movie is as packed with flashy bogusness as a lead singer's tight leather trousers. On the other hand, there's nothing bogus about the charisma and tough sweetness of Wahlberg.
  16. Mrs. Doubtfire
    Williams gives an inspired comic performance. Unfortunately, he outclasses the movie, which is basically a patchwork rip-off of Tootsie.
  17. Anon
    The story works well enough in its own moodily familiar way, but it’s not only the movie’s palette that’s stylishly leached of color: Its main characters’ backstories feel perfunctory, the dialogue leans heavy on exposition and hard-boiled cliché, and even Owen looks worn down.

    Suddenly, Last Summer
    A deliciously bad film.
  19. Assault on Precinct 13
    Volatile yet fairly lunkheaded.
  20. The Signal
    If all this sounds like a souped-up episode of "The Twilight Zone" or "The X-Files," then you're in the right ballpark — or underground bunker.
  21. Because of Winn-Dixie
    To Winn-Dixie's great credit, both as a book and as a dandy, dignified movie, there's nothing condescendingly lesson-like in the wisdom India acquires.
  22. Vacancy
    Vacancy is a schlock surprise: a no-frills motel-hell slasher film -- with a bit of soul.
  23. Terminator: Dark Fate
    At least Dark Fate is frequently bad in a funny way, without the dutiful dullness of the last couple sequels.
  24. Black and Blue
    Harris, eyes blazing, brings a humanity and an urgency that serve the story maybe more than it deserves: a performance above and beyond the call of duty.
  25. Copycat
    The movie is, in short, a trash conundrum. What nearly redeems the movie is its acting.
  26. Explicit Ills
    Webber has a knack for bringing out actors at their showiest, but he palms off too much first-draft sketchiness as ''ambiguity.''
  27. Empire of Light
    Colman, her eyes darting between hope and devastation, is so lit-up and specific (and funny, a quality that doesn't seem to get mentioned enough) that she lifts nearly every scene.
  28. A Girl Like Her
    While mean girl Avery Keller (Hunter King) gets a nuanced and surprisingly redemptive arc, the target of her bullying, Jessica (Lexi Ainsworth), mostly goes ignored.
  29. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation
    The harmless high jinks all go down easily enough without being particularly memorable or pushing the art form past the expected.
  30. The Notebook
    You know what you want to see if you want to see The Notebook...You want to see girls in pretty 1940s dresses, soldiers in stirring World War II uniforms, handsome automobiles and equally handsome Southern landscapes. You want to see romance overcome adversity.
