  1. Bride Wars
    Bride Wars pretends to be a satire of wedding mania, but since there's virtually nothing else to the movie, the satire comes depressingly close to endorsement.
  2. Push
    A weightless, style-driven thriller set in a photogenically chaotic Hong Kong.
  3. Obsessed
    Obsessed has little plausibility, but at moments it's an entertaining bad movie, and the performers are vivid.
  4. Madea Goes to Jail
    It's a tale soggy with the kind of race/class lessons that Madea, the director-star's battle-ax alter ego, doles out far more handily (and entertainingly) in a single church-lady-from-hell zinger.
  5. 12
    Has none of the crisp passion or suspense of the 1957 Sidney Lumet version; it's bloated, heavy-handed, and lugubrious.
  6. 12 Rounds
    You will probably find yourself praying for this duel's knock-out punch to arrive long before it actually does.
  7. Dragonball: Evolution
    Marvel at the fact that something this trippy made it to our local multiplex.
  8. Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
    He squeezes a bit of suspenseful juice out of the old plot, and Douglas makes smarm a chewy pleasure, but this is a noir in search of a hero we can root for because we actually buy what he’s doing.
  9. Adoration
    The upshot is that those who appear to be guilty may not be -- a muddled message for our time.
  10. Land of the Lost
    Land of the Lost has stray amusing tidbits, but overall it leaves you feeling splattered.
  11. G-Force
    The first 3-D film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer turns out to be similar to 2-D projects from the same noise-making producer--heavy on action scenes and heavy, too, on message.
  12. The Answer Man
    Daniels plays Arlen with a kind of cuddly crankiness; he makes him a jerk who just needs a hug.
  13. Post Grad
    Dismayingly conservative dramedy.
  14. Spread
    The whole movie is pat -- very pleased with itself for being so up front about the ways of a 21st-century man-whore.
  15. Fame
    The teachers (including original cast member Debbie Allen as school principal) turn out to be the best part of the show.
  16. The Stepfather
    The trouble with the movie, apart from its rather monotonous dourness of tone, is that everyone in the family, especially the reformed-delinquent high school son (Penn Badgley), comes off as tougher, smarter, and quicker on the draw than the stepfather who's supposed to be outfoxing them.
  17. The Nightmare Before Christmas
    Is it any wonder this Nightmare never coalesces? He couldn’t make up his mind about whether to be naughty or nice.
  18. The Private Lives of Pippa Lee
    The mix is Lifetime soap–meets–Woody Allen smart-set comedy, with less humor and a genteel Connecticut setting.
  19. Serious Moonlight
    There's a lot of yelling, cracking wise, and cooing in this creepy rom-com.
  20. Wonderful World
    It's all very sincere, but watching a dweebish depressive learn that Life Is Good is a lesson of diminishing returns.
  21. The Crazies
    Here's what I can say for sure about the humanoid attackers in the new version of The Crazies: They're not very interesting.
  22. Alice in Wonderland
    In the film's rather humdrum 3-D, the place doesn't dazzle — it droops.
  23. Brooklyn's Finest
    Ellen Barkin provides unexpected diversion in a madwoman cameo as the PD's brassiest brass. But otherwise the clichés keep coming.
  24. The Secret of Kells
    Regrettably, the film's story is so busy yet flat that the effect isn't magical -- it's more like watching the tale of some very enchanted wallpaper.
  25. She's Out of My League
    If you're hungry to see a romantic comedy about a genetically and culturally imbalanced geek-meets-babe relationship that makes the one in Knocked Up look like the quintessence of plausible human mating, then by all means subject yourself to the one-joke sub–Judd Apatow snark-athon that is She's Out of My League.
  26. The Bounty Hunter
    In The Bounty Hunter, the couple that foils a bunch of tiresome grade-C thriller goons together stays together. Whether or not that's a recipe for love, it's certainly not a formula for romantic-comedy magic.
  27. Chloe
    The film is Moore's story, and she acts the hell out of one sexy scene, but most of Chloe is plodding and drab.
  28. Hush!
    A feel-good movie that doesn't give you enough to feel good about.
  29. Armageddon
    Bay doesn't stage scenes, exactly -- he stages moments.
  30. The In-Laws
    While much of The In-Laws feels stuck in time, what really does it in is the script's boring, modern sensitivity to fatherhood, and bonding with one's kids, and all that enlightened parenthood crap.
