  1. The Bucket List
    The first thing to say about The Bucket List is that Rob Reiner is the rare director who can take all the wonder out of one of the seven wonders of the world.
  2. The Family
    Doesn't just wink at De Niro's history, it leans on it, hard.
  3. Albatross
    Trite lessons are learned. Plotlines play out in familiar arcs. A few blips of sex and drug use aim to make the movie feel more grown-up. Instead, they make it off-limits to the only age group likely to find any charm in its smug Britcom cutesiness.
  4. Fred Claus
    The surprisingly puny haul comes from the jolly, usually sparkling comedy workshop of David Dobkin, who directed "Wedding Crashers," and Dan Fogelman, who wrote "Cars" -- two great movies that both make better stocking stuffers.
  5. From Paris with Love
    A ''fun trash'' movie that's more trash than fun.
  6. Trapped
    The most frightening sight, though, is that of Theron and Bacon, good actors trapped in the muck of making a living.
  7. Underworld
    By the end, I was starting to ponder questions like, If a vampire mates with a lycan-vamp hybrid, which parent will have to convert?
  8. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
    Dark of the Moon is hardly a fleet production, but here Bay makes his best, most flexible use yet of all the flamboyant bigness at his command: Computer-drawn characters and human actors seem to occupy the same narrative for once.
  9. Crazy People
    The movie wants you to giggle and say, ”Yup, we sure are saps, aren’t we?”
  10. Jungle 2 Jungle
    Tim Allen doesn’t do anything new in Jungle2Jungle, but he’s got that Allen-via-Disney persona operating at maximum efficiency.
  11. Breaking In
    It’s a fun, pulpy premise, but sadly, the film takes a route that’s too silly to be taken seriously and too tame to be any fun.
  12. Devil's Knot
    The movie doesn’t grab you emotionally, but director Atom Egoyan (Exotica) teases apart the case’s details with grim fascination.
  13. The Haunting
    The scariest thing about The Haunting is how awful it is. No, worse than awful: desperate. It’s a horror flick afraid of its own audience, as lost in its own geography as the fictional film crew in The Blair Witch Project.
  14. Endings, Beginnings
    If ever there was a movie to suffer to, Endings, Beginnings is it.
  15. Along Came a Spider
    Broody fun.
  16. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
    Battle of the Smithsonian has plenty of life. But it's Adams who gives it zing.
  17. Aliens in the Attic
    A pointless but ultimately harmless family adventure that doesn't mentally assault the 12-and-over set. (Extra points for being 100 percent fart-joke-free).
  18. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
    With so much flesh crunching and bloodletting, it could have been scary as all Walking Dead get-out. Instead, the movie plays safe by cutting every theme down the middle - a swing that's effective when splitting wood or vampire skulls, but dull when applied to filmmaking.
  19. Orphan
    Orphan isn't scary -- it's garish and plodding.
  20. The Last House on the Left
    This remake is merely vile (and dull).
  21. Persuasion
    This Persuasion chooses to wear its source material like a thin disposable skin, discarding many of the vital organs (brain, heart) and most ideas of subtlety as it goes. Austen may be immortal, but she's not inexhaustible; maybe it's time to tell another story and let her rest in peace.
  22. Fire in the Sky
    A concrete slab of science-fiction melodrama that, for all its obvious limitations as a movie, plays on zeitgeist fantasies of an alien visitation as surely as Spielberg’s blissed-out fable did.
  23. Next
    An immediately forgettable action pic directed with a blowtorch by Lee Tamahori.
  24. High Tension
    The latest reshuffling of "Chainsaw" tropes.
  25. Take Me Home Tonight
    It does possess a certain backward-glancing innocent appeal.
  26. The Boy
    The Boy, from director William Brent Bell, aims to set itself squarely in the fictional canon of "Chucky" and its brethren, but it ends up trying to do so much that it forgets to scare us.

    Fluke
    Although Fluke‘s theme is a bit too mature for young children and too juvenile for many adults, most renters will get their Kleenex’s worth somewhere, whether in Fluke’s triumph over the insupportable horrors of animal testing or in the humans’ tidy tale of loves lost and won.
  28. Tennessee
    Mariah Carey is perfectly fine playing a waitress who dreams of becoming, yes, a singer -- even if the superstar's presence in such a small venture seems jarring.
  29. Big Daddy
    Much of Big Daddy looks like it was made up on the spot, but Sandler, with his bad-dog eagerness to get caught in the act of misbehaving, pulls you through it.
  30. Jem and the Holograms
    As silly and sometimes nonsensical as it is, the movie is surprisingly sweet and well-intentioned.
