  1. Quiet Chaos
    Moretti makes this ''study'' in despair a naggingly neutral, at times borderline coy experience.
  2. Blue Beard
    Catherine Breillat, the French director of "Fat Girl", blends victim feminism with the threat of slasher violence in this arid ''deconstruction'' of Bluebeard, the wife killer of legend.
  3. The Greatest
    A histrionic mess.
  4. Furry Vengeance
    Still, it's refreshing that the animals don't talk.
  5. The Last Airbender
    The movie is "Star Wars" with martial arts, plus a touch of "The Last Emperor." Technically, it's not badly done; I enjoyed the physical clash of elements, the water balls rising like sculpture in the air.
  6. Holy Rollers
    Feels staged and exoticized in the way stories about insular communities often do when told by outsiders.
  7. Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky
    The movie, by Dutch director Jan Kounen, is all surfaces, set pieces, Significant Looks, and voguing -- the same strictures Chanel and Stravinsky sought to bust.
  8. You Again
    Yes, You Again. We've met before.
  9. The Extra Man
    What feels enjoyably outré in the 1998 coming-of-age novel by Jonathan Ames (creator of HBO's Bored to Death) feels oppressively outré in this deadened, literal adaptation.
  10. The American
    The role requires Clooney to dial down his charm to nearly zero, and frankly, he looks twitchy and uncomfortable without it.
  11. Alpha and Omega
    Underwhelming in the style of most off-brand CG, Alpha and Omega is livened by pretty Rocky Mountain backdrops and leadened by stock characters and the wolves' weirdly prissy behavior.
  12. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
    I'm confounded by the fact that, aside from the Pevensie siblings and their nicely obnoxious cousin, absolutely everything and everyone aboard the Dawn Treader looks one-dimensional.
  13. Tamara Drewe
    This rotely cheeky, Anglo-plastic adultery comedy is set in the golden-green English countryside, and it makes a few quirky nods toward artistry, but it's really just a glib concoction.
  14. Made in Dagenham
    Waving a dubious flag of feminist inclusivity, Cole and screenwriter William Ivory turn cartwheels insisting that girl power, even in the 1960s, trumped class divisions.
  15. Wild Target
    The cast, though, includes a great bunch of Brit faves who have all done better work elsewhere.
  16. Red Dawn
    Thor's Chris Hemsworth leads the pack as a high school football star-turned-Marine, while Josh Peck plays his stubborn younger brother. There's also a collection of junior guerrillas, including The Hunger Games' Josh Hutcherson and Friday Night Lights' Adrianne Palicki. Take that, screaming North Koreans with no agenda!
  17. The Tourist
    The Tourist isn't a debacle, but it's a caper that's fatally low on carbonation.
  18. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
    Mostly an epic rehash of the tale Larsson has already told, and that makes it, at two hours and 28 minutes, the first movie in the series that never catches fire.
  19. Restless
    Annabel and Enoch learn from each other, even as time ticks away and the end draws near. Weeping is invited, but by no means required.
  20. Season of the Witch
    The best thing about it is Claire Foy's performance as the seething, caged is-she-a-witch?. Foy, like a Brit Kristen Stewart, has an entrancing sparkle of disdain.
  21. The Mechanic
    As it is, The Mechanic is ham-fisted pulp, like Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" taking itself seriously.
  22. Rio
    The soundtrack, overseen by Sergio Mendes, has a few lively bossa nova moments, but not nearly enough.
  23. 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.
  24. The Other Woman
    Opportunities for bad behavior abound in Waldman's novel - the author's prerogative. Roos, though, hasn't cracked the puzzle of how to explore that behavior on screen in such a way that the characters behave badly in interesting, rather than arbitrary, ways.
  25. I Am
    An earnest, lumpy macramé of a personal nonfiction project.
  26. The Adventures of Tintin
    Even a filmmaker as dazzling as Steven Spielberg has to create characters who lure us into their point of view, and the trouble with Tintin is that we're always on the outside, looking in. What all that motion can't capture is our hearts.
  27. Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules
    Nothing is new, which is a problem. Nothing is particularly funny or endearing, which is a worse problem.
  28. The Conspirator
    The movie is stiff-jointed and dull.
  29. Bad Teacher
    We're just watching a film try to pass off misanthropic blunt-wittedness as "edge."
  30. The Change-Up
    Soon enough it's back to stale jokes about spousal date nights.
