  1. Sex Tape
    It's clumsy and wacky and intermittently amusing, and Rob Lowe looks like he's having a great time playing Real-Life Ned Flanders With a Deeply Weird Side once again.
  2. Fury
    Pitt, for instance, could've used a scene like Tom Hanks' in "Saving Private Ryan," where we learn something — anything — about his life back home and what he's fighting for besides the Stars and Stripes. Instead, Fury (the title comes from the name of the tank) just plods from one brutal, bloody combat scene to the next.
  3. Venus in Fur
    What is surprising is how little Polanski juices the material with his usual devilish touch.
  4. That Awkward Moment
    Sit tight through the end credits and you'll be treated to a few off-the-cuff outtakes of the guys doing things much funnier than anything in the film itself.
  5. Dolphin Tale 2
    This is innocuous, heart-in-the-right-place family fare, but its well-earned points about animal rights and preservation would be better taken if the relentless sentimentality didn't force viewers into flippers-in-the-air submission.
  6. Mood Indigo
    A movie so stuffed with eccentricity, it rips at least a couple of seams.
  7. Ted 2
    The sequel still manages to walk the tightrope between clever and crass. For a while, at least.
  8. Under the Skin
    As a film, Under the Skin is hauntingly freaky and ultimately frustrating. But as a movie star's gamble to be seen as more than just a moneymaking member of the Marvel universe, it's a home run.
  9. Son of God
    At best, this version succeeds as a Sunday school supplement. But the blandness is enough to make you long for Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."
  10. Victor Frankenstein
    Only Radcliffe escapes unscathed, lending Igor a convincing psychology despite the ham-fistedness of the material. But he’s not enough of a reason to resurrect this story again.
  11. Insidious: Chapter 3
    Insidious Chapter 3 is the worst kind of sequel: Not terrible, but also cartoonishly unnecessary.
  12. Sabotage
    You won't respect yourself in the morning, but you might have some dumb, lizard-brain fun.
  13. Tyler Perry's The Single Moms Club
    As with most of his films (Madea-centric and otherwise), subtlety isn’t Perry’s strongest suit. He tends to hammer his audience over the head with canned sentimentality, lazy stereotypes, and easy uplift.
  14. The Boy Next Door
    Boy's premise reeks of stalker-movie mothballs, and it's too timid to fully dive into the high camp it hints at. Instead, this cookie just crumbles.
  15. Justin Bieber's Believe
    When the movie occasionally does confront its hero’s foibles, its answers are disappointingly pat.
  16. The Gunman
    Sean Penn doesn’t make movies very often these days. So when he does, you go in with certain expectations. Sadly, it’s best to leave them at the concession stand if you’re planning on enjoying The Gunman.
  17. Dark Places
    It’s never pushed far enough. Instead, Dark Places just becomes an overstuffed, low-simmer potboiler with too many improbable detours and overly convenient twists.
  18. The Homesman
    With her sad, haunted eyes and ''plain as a tin pail'' looks, Swank is by far the best thing in the movie. More than most actresses, she seems unburdened by vanity.
  19. The Hateful Eight
    The Hateful Eight doesn’t have enough ideas. Set almost entirely in a snowed-in saloon, the story’s so spare it doesn’t warrant either its three-hour running time (including an overture and intermission) or his use of 70mm projection. It’s narratively and visually claustrophobic.
  20. The Sleepwalker
    The setup has mysterious promise, but the film cheaps out on a satisfying payoff.
  21. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    I get that this mano a supermano story line is a sacred text among comic-book aficionados, but Dawn of Justice doesn’t do the tale any favors. It’s overstuffed, confusing, and seriously crippled by Eisenberg’s over-the-top performance.
  22. 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.
  23. Monster Trucks
    The final result is… rather unspectacular.
  24. The Peanuts Movie
    The film disappointingly ditches the cartoonist’s modest visual formula for a photorealistic 3-D playground courtesy of the animation studio behind "Ice Age."
  25. Words and Pictures
    It’s a rom-com setup lamer than anything in the Barrymore-Sandler canon, but Binoche and Owen tackle it like high drama and eke out a few sweet moments.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    For a Woman
    The acting is largely irreproachable, but the direction is leaden, and the movie just can’t overcome its clunky framing device and nagging air of inauthenticity.
  27. Point Break
    Director Kathryn Bigelow is one of the new-style action wizards who’ve never quite mastered the nuts and bolts of telling a story.
  28. The LEGO Ninjago Movie
    Credit is due to Jackie Chan, who gives his all to make Ninjago work.
  29. The Crow
    Lee's performance is by far the best thing about The Crow. Unfortunately, he's just good enough to make you wish that the movie had had a whisper of storytelling invention to go along with its showy visual design.
  30. A League of Their Own
    From its jokey, one-note characters to its endless baseball montages, A League of Their Own is all flash, all surface.
