  1. Meet the Fockers
    The old-pro twosome of Streisand and Hoffman make such sexy and inviting ethnics (as a certain kind of movie likes to think of a certain kind of Jewish character) that they blithely prevail over the been-there-done-that gags.
  2. Jesus Henry Christ
    As with his previous film "Fireflies in the Garden," writer-director Dennis Lee scratches the skin of family bonds until it bleeds. This time, he uses whimsy as a salve.
  3. Moonfall
    Mostly, though, as TV newscasters inform us, civilization has taken a serious nosedive — definitely the case when a well-financed Emmerich disaster flick can't even get its dumb-fun groove on.
  4. La Mujer de Mi Hermano
    You could dismiss this swankily shot Latin American trifle as an upscale soap opera, but that would be an insult to soap operas.
  5. First Sunday
    If Tyler Perry ever wanted to turn "Dog Day Afternoon" into a treacly after-school special, it would probably end up looking a lot like this.
  6. Olympus Has Fallen
    The countdown-to-Armageddon structure generates almost no tension, but Olympus Has Fallen does have lots of squalidly bloody hand-to-hand action, all of which is so pulpy and standardthat the film actually makes you grateful for the presence of Gerard Butler, gnashing his teeth in the Bruce Willis role.
  7. Kick-Ass 2
    Moretz, who is 16 now, can't manufacture the same that's-so-wrong jolt she managed the first time around. Back then, it was hilariously taboo to see a little girl spout arias of profanity. Now, she's just another teenager swearing. Like the rest of the film, what was once shocking now just elicits a shrug.
  8. Stay
    Eventually I gave up on meaning and began instead to study the profuse imagery -- and also the flat characters and anchorless performances.
  9. Spun
    Spun is accomplished, but it's also numbing. It's hard to have much connection to people who never connect with each other.
  10. Village of the Damned
    When the children in Carpenter’s Village flash their glowing eyes, hypnotizing the hapless grown-ups into committing a series of increasingly lurid suicides, the kids don’t seem much more bizarre — or frightening — than your average 10-year-old Nintendo freak.
  11. Career Opportunities
    In a sense, John Hughes doesn’t produce movies anymore. He produces entertainment machines, and Career Opportunities has been shamelessly patched together — like Frankenstein’s monster — from bits and pieces of Home Alone and The Breakfast Club.
  12. Drillbit Taylor
    A failing-grade comedy about the wishful triumph of high school dorks over high school bullies.
  13. Dumb and Dumber
    There are limits to how much comic irony can be wrung out of the sight of two grown men acting like complete cretins.
  14. Pompeii
    Most of the film is a chintzy but watchable B-movie knockoff of "Gladiator," with Kit Harington, the English actor from "Game of Thrones," mustering very little in the way of facial expressivity in the role of Milo.
  15. Stoned
    Thorogood allegedly confessed on his deathbed (in 1993) that he killed Jones, and while the movie convinces us that this might have happened, it never truly reveals who Brian Jones was before he fell apart. His indulgence, and his demise, play out in a void.
  16. Lucky
    It is fun, though, 
 to see the younger Hanks play a murderer - it's like seeing Justin Bieber work blue.

    The Perfect Match
    As if to make up for the predictable main plot, The Perfect Match is bogged down with a slew of uninteresting B-stories.
  18. The Woman in the Window
    The final 30 minutes of the film descend into something so bloody and outrageous it nearly works as camp. Still, it's hard not to think of the better movie buried somewhere in Window's odd feints and histrionics, if only its makers had trusted themselves — or been trusted — to tell it.
  19. Jiminy Glick in Lalawood
    In his curdled-butterball way, Jiminy Glick may be the most acidic showbiz send-up since Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton. This movie, though it has its moments, is a pedestal he didn't need.
  20. Hard to Kill
    At this point, revenge thrillers have become so standardized that these films are really all the same film — a Mixmaster blend of Death Wish, Dirty Harry, Enter the Dragon, and Rambo. A star with a personality would only gum up the works.
  21. Sahara
    This insanely busy, exceedingly long, and sometimes endearingly preposterous rendering has simply gotten the directions reversed in its insistence on sticking only to where men-who-make-adventure-flicks have gone before.
  22. Silk Road
    There's only so much real-world intrigue a crime committed almost entirely via ones and zeroes can entail, and the script's halfhearted attempts to make it all Mean Something feel more than a little callow in the end.
  23. The Limits of Control
    The Limits of Control, even with its flow of star cameos (Tilda Swinton, Gael García Bernal, a frenetic Bill Murray), is a listless long pause that rarely refreshes.
  24. Crank: High Voltage
    The result, an eye-popping strobe of flesh and blood, is as visually stunning as it is absurdly offensive, sure to thrill some while leaving others in a state of outrage-induced catatonia.
  25. What Planet Are You From?
    Nothing more than a sort of dumb, sort of clever fish out of water comedy.
  26. Little Birds
    An alienated-teen movie that surfs along on the whims and casual cruelties of its central character runs a risk: It can wind up as random and undisciplined as she is. Instead, Little Birds is a touching and distinctive achievement.
  27. Death of a Dynasty
    An amiably raucous, scorched-earth mockumentary.
  28. One Eight Seven
    The prospect of a teacher driven to his students’ level of sociopathic vengeance might have packed a ghoulish wallop had the film viewed it as tragic. Reynolds, however, is just grinding out exploitation thrills.
  29. Passengers
    Passengers is not very good. In fact, it’s pretty bad.
  30. The Salton Sea
    A twisty, showy, atmosphere-saturated drama that revels (in a post-post-Tarantino-and-''Trainspotting'' way) in sadism and in-your-face seediness -- and attracts a cast of coolios primed to play extreme.
