  1. Cry_Wolf
    Cry_Wolf is underscored with idiot adolescent excitement (and gets extra absurdist points for casting Jon Bon Jovi as an educator).

    G
    "The Great Gatsby" was famously bungled in the pulseless 1974 movie with Robert Redford. G, which updates the story with an African-American cast, is another strikeout, further destroying F. Scott Fitzgerald's film batting average.
  3. Into the Blue
    Walker is supposed to be lured by the buried treasure, but the actor, wearing Brad Pitt's bristle cut, is like Pitt with his sexy appetite sucked out.
  4. Stay
    Eventually I gave up on meaning and began instead to study the profuse imagery -- and also the flat characters and anchorless performances.
  5. Protocols of Zion
    The filmmaker keeps himself squarely on screen. This is fine when he engages in throwdowns with the bigots but distasteful when Levin shows himself reacting to footage -- unseen by viewers -- of the beheading of reporter Daniel Pearl.
  6. The Weather Man
    The Weather Man is what indie misery looks like when re-created by one of Hollywood's big studios.
  7. Chicken Little
    What falls in Chicken Little are hopes.
  8. In the Mix
    A genially cruddy B movie can sometimes go places - sort of - that bigger movies won't.
  9. Yours, Mine and Ours
    The movie, directed with a gym teacher's whistle by "Scooby-Doo's" Raja Gosnell, is a contempo soft-focus remake of the 1968 original starring Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda.
  10. Æon Flux
    Theron is an arresting image, but, like everything else in Aeon Flux, she's stranded in a trashy and derivative glum zone of fashion-runway fascism.
  11. Mrs Henderson Presents
    This makes for a friendly romp, and also a dull one.
  12. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
    An unabashed descendant of "Bring Me the Head." This time, though, it's an entire corpse that gets hauled through the desert, and that's not all that's being toted. So is a hefty parcel of racial correctness.
  13. The Producers
    The accountant in Bloom would probably approve of the new Producers: It's an efficient extension of a popular brand. In theory, what's not to like? In reality, the whole schmear.
  14. Fun with Dick and Jane
    Wearing a brush cut that never fits the role, Carrey doesn't do a lot here besides flash those vampire-nerd teeth, and I grew weary of seeing them.

    The Promise
    There's a nice Road Runner-cartoon moment when the slave runs really, really fast, carrying the wounded general on his back while dodging an attack of CG bulls. I can't imagine Road Runner was what Chen had in mind for the most expensive movie ever made in China, but then, I was born too late for the time of the snowy eagle.
  16. Last Holiday
    A chaste and tepid remake of a 1950 British comedy.

    Underworld: Evolution
    I especially like how, when Beckinsale's half-wolf, half-vampire friend Scott Speedman moves in for a kiss, you can hear the black leather of her dominatrix getup crinkle and crackle on the soundtrack like an old saddle. Sizzlin'!
  18. Nanny McPhee
    One of those raucous, hyperactive kiddie flicks that knocks you upside the head from its opening frame.
  19. Imagine Me & You
    Congratulations are in order for Rachel's sexual awakening, but we might as well applaud the dull girl for falling in love with the nearest bunch of lilies rather than the florist.
  20. Little Jerusalem
    It would be hard to imagine a filmmaking style as serious yet lazy as the earnest vérité bobbing and weaving employed by La Petite Jérusalem.
  21. The Pink Panther
    Martin's gift for physical and vocal comedy is as deft as ever.
  22. Tsotsi
    More calculated than a Starbucks sampler CD, the picture could win the up-from-hardship award.
  23. Failure to Launch
    If you like Kathy Bates movies, you'll probably be frustrated with this one, since as Tripp's mother, the invaluable character actress is made to whipsaw between playing sappy domestic slave to her son's laundry and salty, overly sexual wife.
  24. She's the Man
    As an actress, Bynes is wholesome to a fault. She impersonates a teenage boy yet never gives him one good dirty thought.
  25. Take My Eyes
    If Take My Eyes explored how a woman could still feel for a man who abused her, it might have gripped us with its difficult truths. But the movie presents Pilar and Antonio's marriage as a stale, neurotic dead end.
  26. Stoned
    Thorogood allegedly confessed on his deathbed (in 1993) that he killed Jones, and while the movie convinces us that this might have happened, it never truly reveals who Brian Jones was before he fell apart. His indulgence, and his demise, play out in a void.
  27. Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing & Charm School
    Really, about all that unifies the movie is its inclination to turn little people's dreams into limply ''affectionate'' camp.
  28. The Wild
    Lifting a concept isn't exactly foreign to the world of animation (what's "The Lion King" if not "Bambi" with manes?), but it isn't often a rip-off gets as blatant as The Wild, a flat-out regurgitation of "Madagascar."
  29. La Mujer de Mi Hermano
    You could dismiss this swankily shot Latin American trifle as an upscale soap opera, but that would be an insult to soap operas.
  30. The Lost City
    Though the filmmaker's feel for his Cuban heritage is bone-deep, it's a glazed and dolorous movie - a depressed epic.
