  1. Fountain of Youth
    Unfortunately, there is an uncanny lack of urgency in the film. The characterizations are flat, the would-be quippy dialogue rarely elicits laughs, and the action sequences seldom rise above the level of satisfactory.
    • 71 Metascore

    The Ring
    The only movie for which Hitchcock claimed sole writing credit isn't particularly captivating — it's a relatively standard boxing movie with a textbook love triangle at its center.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Paradine Case
    This movie's attempt at a scandalous love triangle is so miscalibrated that it's extremely difficult to care about the stakes beyond the official legal proceedings.

    Ghosts of Mississippi
    What with Goldberg’s somnambulistic nobility, and the fact that this is yet another civil rights movie in which the struggles of black Americans take a backseat to the heroics of wealthy white guys, Woods’ presence is the least of Ghosts‘ problems.
  5. Legion
    After a brisk start, the script turns out to be a rough and humorless beast slouching its way towards utter ludicrousness.
  6. Did You Hear About the Morgans?
    You should hear instead about Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen, who whip up cowboy fun as married U.S. marshals assigned to protect the pair in Wyoming.
  7. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
    If only for the sake of adults, couldn't the folks behind the Alvin films have had the good grace to turn Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel into a musical?
  8. Law Abiding Citizen
    Clyde is meant to be nuts, but too often it's Law Abiding Citizen that checks rationality at the door.
  9. Cop Out
    Without that heightened racial antipathy-turned-camaraderie, there's not a whole lot to Cop Out besides watching Kevin Smith pretend, with a crudeness that is simply boring, that he's an action director making a comic thriller about cops versus a Mexican drug gang (yawn).
  10. Funny People
    The message that comes across is: We're all screwed, and then we die. Ba-DUM.
  11. The Box
    It's no coincidence that The Box plays like the world's murkiest Twilight Zone episode. It's loosely based on ''Button, Button,'' a short story by Richard Matheson, who wrote some of the series' greatest scripts.
  12. I Hate Valentine's Day
    A charmless rom-com.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Turtles Can Fly
    Lacks grace, coherence, and a surface vivid enough to make it an alarm that many will hear.
  14. 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.
  15. White Noise
    What might have been a rote horror exercise becomes instead a twitchy, mannered, often amusing rote horror exercise.
  16. The Chorus
    The movie is rotten the way that only a denatured made-for-export slice of Gallic nostalgia can be.
  17. The Wedding Date
    So many body parts from other engineered romantic comedies have been crudely harvested and stitched together in the making of this weird robotic lark that "Maid of Honor of Frankenstein" might be more useful a nickname.
  18. Nabbeun namja
    Really, who needs a bad guy who's this guilty about being bad?
  19. Dot the I
    The movie is in love with its own story loops and fancy, pop-dream cinematography from Almodóvar associate Affonso Beato, which is fine; it's also in love with its own indie-culture cleverness, which isn't.
  20. Ice Princess
    Peculiarly coy feminine-empowerment fable.
  21. The Amityville Horror
    Extraordinarily faithful to the spirit of that creaky, derivative, fly-infested, don't-go-in-the-attic boofest.
  22. House of D
    An overly picaresque first feature written and directed by David Duchovny, who also co-stars.
  23. Madison
    Director and co-writer William Bindley engages every move in the underdog playbook, including, but not limited to, the time the good citizens of Bedford Falls chipped in to make up George Bailey's shortfall in "It's a Wonderful Life."
  24. Monster-in-Law
    As for Monster-in-Law, it's tripe on a plate.
  25. My Mother
    Ma Mère, while less prudish than Catherine Breillat's dour deconstructions of sex, is also less competent. It winds up making incest look absurdly swank.
  26. Modigliani
    The lushness of a Modigliani is largely absent from Modigliani.
  27. The Honeymooners
    Epps has a nicely beaten charm to him -- among the leads, he alone looks like he knows what a trip to the moon costs.
  28. High Tension
    The latest reshuffling of "Chainsaw" tropes.
  29. The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D
    Like choral singing and travel photography, this adventure is more fun for participants than it is for spectators.
  30. Land of the Dead
    In Land of the Dead there are virtually no good parts. The movie is listless and uninspired.
