  1. Monkeybone
    There's unwieldy mess -- but there's also unruly brilliance to this dark and funny story about the havoc that ensues when a man's uncensored Freudian id is allowed the run of the place.
  2. Message in a Bottle
    On paper, the movie sounds unbearably schlocky, but Costner plays Garret the reluctant backcountry prince as mythic but also foxy and life size.
  3. 3 Days to Kill
    The movie never finds a way to blend the emotional and the rat-a-tat-tat into one seamless package the way that Besson did in his one and only good movie, The Professional (1994).
  4. Welcome To Marwen
    If Marwencol made your heart go out to Mark, Welcome to Marwen does something quite different. It makes you want to back away from him slowly.
  5. Wicker Park
    It would be tempting to say that fractured time sequences in movies have become a cliché, except that Wicker Park makes your brain spin in surprising and pleasurable ways.
  6. Paris 36
    It's like a pastry that's been sitting on the shelf for 60 years.
  7. Good
    Good has a stagy fustiness, but it's worth seeing for Mortensen, who makes this study of a "good German" look creepily contemporary.
  8. Lord of the Dance in 3D
    The best stuff: Wow, can those kids hoof - and so, even past his half-century mark, can the preening, Chicago-born Mr. F.
  9. The Last Word
    Shirley MacLaine’s well-deserved reputation as a salty, snappy grand dame — forged from later-career work like "Terms of Endearment," "Steel Magnolias," "Postcards from the Edge," "Bernie", etc. — unfortunately precedes her in this sloppy, saccharine drama costarring Amanda Seyfried.
  10. Remember Me
    As a shameless contraption of ridiculously sad things befalling attractive people, the engorged romantic tragedy Remember Me stands tall between those towering monuments to teen-oriented cinematic misery, Love Story and Twilight.
  11. Fantastic Four
    This clumsy, cheesy, chintzy adaptation, with its F/X that look dated the moment you see them, is like something left over from the '60s.
  12. Deliver Us From Evil
    This rote exorcism-is-real claptrap.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Comedian
    The Comedian explores the dynamics of such unorthodox attraction with its heart in the right place, but for all of its performative charm, it still suffers the untimely misfortune of following an old, white man grousing about the state of affairs as the world diversifies around him.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Salinger
    At two hours and nine minutes, Salinger is at least 40 minutes too long, suffering, just like the book, from its creators' obsessive zeal. Only here, you can't page ahead to the next chapter.
  15. Sleepwalking
    A soporific dud, which should have been tossed out of Sundance.
  16. Alexander
    An exhausted epic, one that Stone has directed with an almost startling lack of personality or vision.
  17. Scary Movie 4
    And as ever, the jokes are a jumble of the gross, the baggy, the raunchy, the mistimed, and - every once in a while - the refreshingly incorrect.
  18. How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog
    Branagh shows us the comedy of a man who is too clever to understand that in the guise of dreading fatherhood, he is really at war with how much he longs for it.
  19. Bulletproof Monk
    As ungainly in its jammed-together East-meets-West-ness as Steven Seagal in a yoga pose.
  20. Clockstoppers
    Stops time, all right -- it stretches 94 minutes into something that begins to feel like infinity.
  21. Fire Down Below
    The star hasn’t lost his gift for making sadism seem impish. After a while, however, you may notice that the film’s mayhem is accomplished almost entirely through editing.
  22. National Treasure
    The character of a scruffy computer nerd, played with might-as-well-enjoy-myself charm by little-known actor Justin Bartha, steals the picture from glossier players.
  23. Shrink
    It wants to be "Good Will Hunting" set in the land of "Entourage," but its bummed-out touchy-feeliness is every bit as concocted as its overly jaded showbiz corruption.
  24. Margaret Cho: Assassin
    Even those who may agree with Cho's agenda are never allowed to forget that it is an agenda.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Smurfs: The Lost Village
    A saccharine fantasy-adventure that’s sure to tide the tots over until a shinier one (Cars 3, anyone?) comes along to take its place.
  26. Aloha
    It happens. Really talented directors sometimes step into the batter’s box, take a gigantic swing, and whiff.
  27. Insidious: Chapter 2
    Its lack of both originality and any real memorable moments feels shameless and lazy. Adding insult, the movie ends on a cliffhanger, guaranteeing that Insidious: Chapter 3 will soon be coming to a theater near you.
  28. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
    So while Out of the Shadows may not be any smarter than the first installment (or really all that smart at all), it’s certainly a lot more fun.
  29. Pitch Perfect 3
    Mostly this is all just pretext for dreamy postcard shots of Europe, a metric ton of slapstick, and as many highly specific vocal riff-offs as one empty airplane hangar can handle.
  30. Beautiful Creatures
    Overstyled pseudo-thriller.
