  1. Proof of Life
    When it's dull, which it is too often for a kidnap caper, this movie is about a woman chirping ''notice anything new about my outfit?'' to a man whose idea of style is a jacket not crusted in human blood.
  2. Jack and Diane
    Love and sex are scary in Bradley Rust Gray's over-Freuded exercise in semi-horror/gender studies.

    The Good Son
    (Culkin's) attempt to broaden his range with the not-for-kids thriller The Good Son — in a part that calls for complex emotions rather than amusing reactions-comes up way short.
  4. The Invasion
    The movie isn't terrible; it's just low-rent and reductive.
  5. Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?
    A primer no one needed, Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? should have been called "The Post-9/11 World for Dummies."
  6. Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding
    So let's hear it for the giant wig of Pre-Raphaelite gray corkscrews planted on the noggin of Jane Fonda as a glamorous hippie grandma. The hairdo meets its match in the dull Ann Taylor togs encasing Catherine Keener: That's how you know Granny's daughter is an uptight lawyer.
  7. The Greatest
    A histrionic mess.
  8. Colombiana
    Colombiana is silly fun at first, but as her break-ins and escapes grow absurdly complex - and her motivations increasingly muddy - it turns into the same silly stuff we've seen before, a dish of revenge served not so much cold as reheated.
  9. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
    The dialogue aims young and low, and sounds translated from comic-book Esperanto.
  10. Justice League
    First, the good news. Justice League is better than its joylessly somber dress rehearsal, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now the “but”…you knew there was a “but” coming, right? But it also marks a pretty steep comedown from the giddy highs of Wonder Woman.
  11. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1
    What we learn in this all-pain/no-pleasure episode is that marriage feels like a life sentence, weddings are miserable events, honeymoon sex is dangerous and leaves a bride covered in bruises, and pregnancy is a torment that leads to death in exchange for birth.
  12. Get Rich or Die Tryin'
    Neither powerful nor interesting. It is a run-of-the-mill movie ''product'' developed as part of a 50 Cent marketing plan.
  13. Firewall
    Firewall is a witless entertainment, and a derivative one, too; it's everything listless about Hollywood in February, everything discardable about the genre in general.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Mr. Brooks begins promisingly, but it grows steadily more preposterous as it goes along, becoming the first feel-good serial-killer movie.
  15. Madea's Big Happy Family
    While I was watching Madea's Big Happy Family, I couldn't deny that it PLAYS. Madea, as always, is a figure of towering low-down wit.

    The Deep End of the Ocean
    If the film was less than satisfying as a big-screen event, it's still worth renting for Pfeiffer, who valiantly portrays the devastating complexities of grief and guilt.
  17. The Little Vampire
    Would like to be a Halloween treat, but it's more like a nightmare of blandness.
  18. Whiteboyz
    Dopey, not dope.
  19. Maid in Manhattan
    No maid, and no fancy lady either, would swoon for a fellow as damp as the hero so grudgingly coughed up by Fiennes. In the words of Cinderellas everywhere, no effin' way.
  20. Life as a House
    No worse than any disease-of-the-week TV movie, and no more moralistic than any Lifetime drama. But it's no better, either, and it ought to be.
  21. Love Me If You Dare
    The award for the most annoying character to appear in a movie so far this year turns out to be a tie: It goes to both of the oh-so-swankly tormented romantic mischief makers of Love Me if You Dare.
  22. Valiant
    The CG is on the rubbery side, and the backdrops are jarringly 2-D. But Valiant isn't so hard to look at -- it's hard to listen to.
  23. American Dreamz
    A blithe, funny, and engaging movie.
  24. Miral
    Confused? So is Miral, a film that makes bits and pieces of the Palestinian experience come alive without assembling them into a coherent vision.
  25. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
    On Stranger Tides isn't nearly strange enough. Its one real act of piracy is stealing away your excitement.
  26. By the Sea
    Jolie Pitt, who also wrote and directed, shows a lot of skin (her own and her cast’s) without ever really getting under it. Misery doesn’t just love good-looking company; it needs an emotional center and a satisfying narrative arc, too.
  27. A Minecraft Movie
    Jared Hess, co-creator of Napoleon Dynamite and a string of other small oddball pictures, brings a fresh perspective to what could have been a lumbering IP-pallooza movie.
  28. The Paperboy
    Much of what happens in The Paperboy is so luridly bizarre you can't quite believe what you're seeing.
