  1. Bridgend
    Based on a real-life rash of teen suicides in Wales, Danish director Jeppe Rønde’s 2015 Tribeca winner feels like the sort of slow BBC America procedural you’d quickly give up on.
  2. Brooklyn Rules
    The boys-in-the-Italian-hood clichés were penned by "Sopranos" scribe Terence Winter, so they have snap, if not freshness.
  3. The Dark Half
    The most frightening thing about this movie is that King and Romero actually thought it was scary.
  4. Beauty Shop
    It's a boisterous and amiable movie but not, in the end, a very funny one.
  5. Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain
    Unfortunately, Hart seems to have taken the whole ''leave the audience wanting more'' maxim a little too much to heart. The film clocks in at a hair over an hour. That might be enough for an HBO special, but it feels a little thin for a feature film.
  6. Samba
    Samba finds a much stronger rhythm when it stops contriving and simply shines a light on the joy and pain (and musical interludes) of lives lived in the margins.
  7. Body at Brighton Rock
    It takes a promising premise loaded with white-knuckle, things-go-bump-in-the-night possibilities and proceeds to do surprisingly little with them over the course of its slim 87-minute running time.
  8. Malcolm & Marie
    The whole movie comes across as deeply self-conscious, more concerned with how it sounds than what it's saying, consumed with impressing people rather than expressing something.
  9. Astro Boy
    A marvelously designed piece of cartoon kinetics.
  10. White Squall
    White Squall is lovely to look at, but frustrating to behold.
  11. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
    Yes indeed, Pirates 2.0 is a theme ride, if by ride you mean a hellish contraption into which a ticket holder is strapped, overstimulated but unsatisfied, and unable to disengage until the operator releases the restraining harness.
  12. Metroland
    It's the rare portrait of a happy marriage that is honest about the complex currents of desire, and the drama is beautifully played by Bale, who gawks with soulful sweetness, and Watson, who does her most piercing work since "Breaking the Waves."
  13. Point of No Return
    If Point of No Return is trash, it’s slick, diverting trash.
  14. Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
    The weirdest and rarest misfire in Lee’s illustrious career.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
    Director Zack Snyder (300) has crafted the rare 3-D eyegasm that's worth the premium ticket price.
  16. Stick It
    A deliriously, defiantly unfocused headrush, Stick It is primarily an exercise in exercise.
  17. Eight Legged Freaks
    Like many of the worst pop-referential parodies of the post-''Scream'' era, this one stalls on laughs once the big joke has been established.
  18. The Heart of Me
    In their own precisely posed ways, the drenched players in The Heart of Me are as compelling as those in any less decorum-bound love triangle.
  19. The Big Tease
    More a sampling of previous crowd-pleasers...than a fashion statement all its own.
  20. Sky Blue
    When a brilliant fish wriggles by, even a less than ardent anime viewer will want to freeze the frame and gape.
  21. The Awakening
    Not to be confused with a dramatization of Kate Chopin's great 1899 proto-feminist novel, this by-the-numbers British ghost story, set just after WWI, devotes a lot of energy to set decoration.
  22. Approaching the Unknown
    The film doesn’t seem particularly interested in grappling with any of those issues beyond the most superficial level.
  23. Marley & Me
    Wilson has a scene near the end with Marley that's the most wrenchingly tender acting of his career.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Big Trouble in Little China
    There are two kinds of people: the ones who have seen — and love — Big Trouble in Little China, a John Carpenter kung fu Western buddy Chinese ghost love story, and those poor saps who aren’t burdened with having to try and describe it to the uninitiated.
  25. The Hollars
    Is The Hollars an original, breathtaking dramedy that says anything new about middle-class suburbia and family? No. But with a brisk runtime and a terrific cast, it’s a pleasant and bittersweet look at one family struggling to keep it together.
  26. Can't Hardly Wait
    Agreeably mindless generation-next trash, but it leaves you hungry for a movie in which the characters are more than walking screenwriter index cards.
  27. Red Sparrow
    Like some nefarious KGB amnesia serum, Red Sparrow mostly evaporates from your memory five minutes after you walk out of the theater.
  28. Carrie
    But now we're a lot more accustomed to seeing movie characters mold their destiny through special effects, and since Peirce films the climax in a rather depersonalized, shoot-the-works way, Carrie comes close to seeming like an especially alienated member of the X-Men team. She blows stuff up real good, in a way that would make the devil — or Bruce Willis — proud.
  29. Apt Pupil
    It's scariest as a parable about the evil that exists in the hearts of adolescent boys.
  30. The Guardian
    The movie represents an earnest effort to compensate for all the love the media has shown to firefighters and other land-based first responders in recent years with little thought to the Coast Guard; the drama also crashes on wave upon wave of clichés.
