    Deterrence
    The plot twists fall about as weightily as the fake snow.
  2. Home on the Range
    The conservatively cheery artistic style suggests that the animation team has been reading Sundance merchandise catalogs.
  3. Poseidon
    It's a buoyant, old-wave disaster pic for a generation of well-conditioned thrill seekers charmed by the revelation that Richard Dreyfuss really is the Red Buttons of our day.
  4. Now You See Me
    At times, Now You See Me suggests Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige" made with a throwaway wink.
  5. Wide Awake
    The movie actually makes you long for the rockin’ entertainment value of a good catechism session.
  6. Guarding Tess
    There are no big thrills, only gentle laughs in this light story by Hugh Wilson and Peter Torokvei (Wilson also directed).
  7. The Education of Charlie Banks
    Ritter, who's like the young Ethan Hawke on a bender of violence, is an actor to watch.
  8. The Other Boleyn Girl
    A classy romantic cocktail distinguished by its tart yet breezy bite.
  9. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
    This is what a videogame movie looks like now.
  10. Dark Skies
    While there are some scares along the way, Stewart foolishly gives away the whole kit and caboodle plot-wise with an opening quotation from Arthur C. Clarke.
  11. The American Society of Magical Negroes
    American Society can’t decide whether to go full biting satire or charming rom-com, and as a result, it fails to do either genre justice.
  12. A Dog's Way Home
    Heartwarming, mildly funny, and occasionally thrilling without ever being anything more than just fine.
  13. Sugar Hill
    Sugar Hill wants to tear up our insides, but I’m afraid the movie leaves us hooting with disbelief instead.
  14. Cowboys & Aliens
    Cowboys & Aliens has fun moments, but it's a plodding entertainment because it mostly tastes like leftovers.
  15. The Purge: Anarchy
    When the situation is played totally straight, as it is for eighty percent of the running time, the message is boring: We'd all commit murder, theft and anarchy if only we could. With a narrative as depressively simplistic as that, we do find ourselves identifying with the characters in the movie—counting the minutes until the Purge is over.
  16. Blonde
    The main thing the movie misses in portraying Marilyn solely as a tragic sex bomb isn't just the pleasure that Monroe herself brought to millions, but de Armas's inner light too. The spark and vitality so evident in previous projects like Knives Out and No Time to Die has been smothered down to one note: walking wound. What's left is mostly empty iconography and a few indelible images, a bombastic curiosity wrapped in the guise of high art. Some like it cold.
  17. Mickey Blue Eyes
    Never lets Grant develop his pidgin-Italian nice-guy-gone-sociopath routine.
  18. Where the Money Is
    I don't know that Where the Money Is would work at all were it not for what we, the audience, bring into the theater.
  19. The Four Feathers
    It may be an accidental historical parallel that, at times, we seem to be watching a 19th-century version of ''The John Walker Lindh Story,'' but the fluke is only enhanced by the weird anonymity of Ledger's performance.
  20. B. Monkey
    You may roll your eyes a bit at the glib, transparent, indie-grunge romanticism.
  21. Alfie
    The new Alfie is so irresistible that he hardly requires contempt. Without it, the movie is little more than a feature-length roll in the hay.
  22. Behind Enemy Lines
    We, the people, are meant to cheer in response, but the spirit isn't willing. War is hell, but so is peace -- at least when it comes to movies in a no-man's-land like this one.
  23. DragonHeart
    Instead of being drawn into Dragonheart‘s tale of swords and sorcery, I frequently sat there thinking things like Gee, I wonder how much time it took Connery to record his lines. It’s too bad, because in other respects Dragonheart is a corker.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Magic
    From the start, Hopkins forgoes the subtle route and heads straight over the top, squeezing what fun there is out of William Goldman’s humorless script.
  25. Things Heard & Seen
    The movie marches on in grim, silly lockstep to its themes: a compendium of jump-scare terrors almost exhaustively heard and seen, but rarely calibrated to make you feel much of anything at all.
  26. Black Christmas
    A sort of forgettable Christmas wisp, a black-hearted jingle bell only half-rung.
  27. Cassandra's Dream
    Allen's latest, Cassandra's Dream, is one of his debonair ''small'' entertainments, the closest that he has come to doing a tidy, no-frills, down-and-dirty genre thriller.
