    Everyone's Hero
    Everyone's Hero re-creates Depression-era America with surprisingly agreeable anachronistic panache, but a sassy ball and bat don't cut it as compelling cartoon characters, and the not-so-human humans never quite do either (Babe Ruth looks like Shrek).
  2. The Gods Must Be Crazy II
    It’s essential to recognize Uys’ patronization of the Bushmen for what it is: a beguiling form of racism.
  3. Irreversible
    After a while, a didactic overdeliberateness seeps into Noé's design, but there's no doubt that he's a new kind of dark film wizard: a poet of apocalyptic shock.
  4. Risen
    Risen is more entertaining than Bible-adjacent stories are usually allowed to be.
  5. Transporter 3
    The villainous Polluter-in-Chief is eloquently played by Robert Knepper, familiarly loathsome as T-Bag on Fox's "Prison Break." And when Knepper and Statham get together, there's a fine showdown of grimaces.

    Saint Ralph
    At first, Ralph and the movie have moxie -- the kid even gets busted for pleasuring himself in the public pool. Then Ralph starts asking us to take this cornball mission seriously.
  7. DysFunktional Family
    That Griffin tells some of the most intolerant jokes since Andrew Dice Clay should hardly obscure his talent, even if it does tarnish it.
  8. The Road to El Dorado
    This trip down The Road to El Dorado proceeds under the speed limit all the way.
  9. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
    A little of this sort of thing goes a long way, but no one does it better than Myers.
  10. What Lies Beneath
    Bears the weight of too many genres jostling for screen time.
  11. Nobody Walks
    Russo-Young studies the strange species of affluent Angelenus erectus under a microscope that distorts every character into unbelievability.
  12. Casino Jack
    Tonally scattershot and more than a little heavy-footed.
  13. The Grinch
    Kids could still watch the peerless 1966 original, though their blooming little cortexes will probably respond to the shiny-bright novelty here — and be newly spellbound by a tale almost as old as color television, but still evergreen.

    Poison Ivy
    Drew Barrymore is terrific as a jailbait fatale who manipulates the members of a dysfunctional well-to-do family in this gothic sexploitation item. But while Poison Ivy tries hard to work up a sweat, it ends up so over the top that it can’t help but go splat.
  15. Wild Things
    A tricky-bordering-on-gimmicky film noir with a glaze of soft-core kink.
  16. The Walker
    The brittle, very ''written'' catty quips meant to characterize Washington hypocrisy sound perfunctory; the story of an aging, self-hating homosexual who goes home alone to his lacquered town house feels ancient as well as uncomfortable for the writer-director. (Harrelson seems both game and ill at ease.)
  17. Dumbo
    As a faithful update of a cherished classic, the new Dumbo will get the job done for restless kids on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Still, we’ve come to expect more magic, more bizarro pixie dust from Burton. Maybe that’s why the second marriage between the director and Disney feels more like an uneasy corporate alliance than a union of artistic passion.
  18. Rough Night
    A raunchy, wildly off-the-rails farce from the team that more or less brought you Broad City.
  19. Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland
    Has a loosey-goosey, what-the-hell spirit that's easy and fun to hook into.

    Doomsday
    Marshall cribs whole sections from other movies (Aliens and The Road Warrior, most blatantly) so baldly that you have to wonder how he'd like it if someone ripped off "The Descent" this egregiously.
  21. The Hard Word
    An Australian crime caper that's one part ''Sexy Beast,'' one part ''The Full Monty,'' and three parts very flat soda.
  22. Johnny English
    The hilarious Malkovich, coiffed in an artful pageboy and savoring a fruity French accent, would overpower the competition on sheer thespian madness.
  23. Where'd You Go, Bernadette
    Linklater, who brought such subtle, generous feeling to films like Boyhood and the Sunset trilogy, feels somehow miscast as the steward of Bernadette‘s willful eccentricities.
  24. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
    Globe-trotting tomfoolery ensues, in ways never quite as witty or engaging as you want them to be, though Hugh Grant and Josh Hartnett bring a certain insouciant zing.
  25. Woman in Gold
    Even Helen Mirren, the Queen Midas of class acting, can’t fix this well-intentioned miss.
  26. The Promotion
    The Promotion edges toward some pretty bleak stuff. Then it steps back and laughs, like an office slacker.
  27. Quigley Down Under
    Vapid, cutesy, knockabout Western.
  28. My Bloody Valentine
    What really leaps out at you about My Bloody Valentine 3-D is its lack of imagination.
  29. Savage Grace
    The director, Tom Kalin, stages acid duels, but he should have provided more psychological structure. Though Moore, a great actress, turns fury into verbal music, we're never quite sure what's driving her.
  30. Creation
    One of those tepid, genteel biopics that's far too busy ennobling its hero to bother giving him any recklessly interesting personality traits.
