  1. Unforgettable
    Surprisingly tasty serving of delirious junk food.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The Marine
    A delectably bad '80s-style actioner.
  3. Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead
    Its greatest achievement is that there isn't a single convincing scene in it.
  4. JeruZalem
    The niftily claustrophobic use of actual Jerusalem locations offers a nice holiday from the more familiar backdrops favored by the POV genre.
  5. Click
    At times dark and at other times gooey.
  6. Blindness
    As the players enact the fall and rebirth of civilization, Meirelles suggests that even a society gone to hell looks better with a little music-video-like pizzazz.
  7. Here and Now
    But for most of the film, Parker’s Vivienne is bland and forgettable. A scene where she sleeps with the drummer in her backup band is supposed to be titillating but instead feels perfunctory.
  8. The Leisure Seeker
    When a sunset romance does come along, you can’t help but root for it. Which is why it gives me no joy to report that The Leisure Seeker is pretty disappointing.
  9. Elizabeth: The Golden Age
    Too bad Kapur's new, glittering sequel also shows up feeling prematurely old, square, and cautious. A production of exquisitely complicated wigs and expensively grand wide shots, it pauses often to admire its own beauty, leery of messing with previous success.

    Pride and Glory
    Edward Norton is in top form as Ray, a burned-out detective whose investigation into the deaths of four cops leads him to suspect his brother-in-law, Officer Jimmy Egan (Colin Farrell, also terrific).
  11. Sweet Home Alabama
    Unbearable were Witherspoon not such a genuinely attractive performer.
  12. Jefferson in Paris
    Bereft of any flesh-and-blood honesty, the last half of the movie plays like a ludicrous PBS version of "Mandingo."
  13. A Liar's Autobiography - The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman
    It's like watching "Yellow Submarine" laid over a celebrity-therapy episode of Dr. Phil.
  14. Upside Down
    Upside Down is a very fancy piece of junk.
  15. Taken 2
    You know what happens in Taken 2, don't you? The same thing that happened four years ago in Taken, but different. (But the same.)
  16. Intruders
    Owen devotes himself to the horror-flick role of a father battling his daughter's monsters with the same trademark efficiency and intensity he brings to every project, whether pulpy like "Killer Elite" or pure like "Shadow Dancer."
  17. It Takes Two
    It seems only fitting that the flavorless Guttenberg would land in this smooth tapioca concoction, but Alley deserves better.
  18. The Distinguished Gentleman
    All The Distinguished Gentleman has is Eddie Murphy doing his best to be the life of the party. By the end of the movie you wish he would just go to another party.
  19. Step Up 3-D
    Step Up 3D isn't, in dramatic terms, a very good movie, but it's the first film in a while to use 3-D as more than a marketing ploy; it points toward an original way of making a musical.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    My Summer Story
    Imagine Garrison Keillor narrating a series of Norman Rockwell paintings and you’ll have a very good idea of what My Summer Story is all about. Nostalgic and gently humorous, this sequel to 1983’s A Christmas Story continues the adventures of Ralph Parker in the prepubescent universe of bullies, parents, best friends, and no girls.
  21. Hall Pass
    Hall Pass would like to be as dunked in reality as Judd Apatow's best comedies, but the movie is thin. The Farrellys can't quite nudge the characters from two dimensions to three.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
    Gets lost in translation.
  23. Sydney White
    "Revenge of the Nerds" is way cooler in its proud defense of geekosity, no question. But anti-ditz role model Amanda Bynes just happens to be cute.
  24. I Love You to Death
    I Love You to Death is strenuously unclever.
  25. Loverboy
    Bacon instinctively pushes Loverboy toward surreal domestic satire. It's fascinating to watch Sedgwick try to make Emily into a luminous wack job.
  26. Step Up: All In
    The space between the spectacles are just too laborious, creating the odd sensation that there's not quite enough dance in this dance movie.
  27. Elizabethtown
    Think of Elizabethtown as Cameron Crowe's rambling amateur travelogue, one from a well-liked professional filmmaker momentarily so distracted by private notes scrawled on his souvenir map that he gets lost en route to telling his story of self-renewal. This undershaped, overlong warmedy is an homage to the memory of his late father.
  28. Home Fries
    Adorable or what?
  29. The Statement
    If any actor could reveal the squirmy soul of a war criminal, it's Caine, so it feels like a cheat when The Statement gives him nothing to portray but self-condemnation.
  30. Vanilla Sky
    If Crowe's eyes are open, he seems to have directed most of Vanilla Sky with his mind wide shut.
