  1. The Intruder
    The whole thing would be more fun, you start to feel, if Intruder just committed fully to the schlocky midnight-movie glory of it all; let Quaid’s lawn-mowing wingnut swing that ax not just for soft vulnerable body parts, but the stars.
  2. Stage Fright
    It’s half "Friday the 13th," half "Phantom of the Paradise," and just cheesy enough to work.
  3. Planet 51
    Delivers a few pleasant surprises, including a smart story -- a reverse-E.T. riff that plops an American astronaut down in a world of just-like-us-only-green creatures -- and clever characters.
  4. August
    Anyone who thinks that Josh Hartnett isn't a true movie star should see his riveting, high-wire performance in August.
  5. Underworld: Awakening
    Why are they fighting again? Never you mind. Just sit tight till the next action sequence (it won't be long), and get ready to laugh - with equal parts scorn and fanboy joy - as Beckinsale strikes another Rodinesque pose under a slo-mo shower of inhuman innards.
  6. Planes
    What Planes lacks in novelty, it makes up for with eye-popping aerial sequences and a high-flying comic spirit.
  7. Till Human Voices Wake Us
    Petroni takes the poem at face value, turning diaphanous literary imagery opaque and literal.
  8. From Prada to Nada
    For a film ostensibly about the importance of finding a little spice and flavor in your life, From Prada to Nada is surprisingly bland.
  9. The Lucky One
    The Lucky One doesn't have the schlock rapture of "The Notebook" (the one Sparks adaptation that has really worked). The trouble with the movie isn't that it's too girly-swoony; it's that it tries to achieve emotion through glowy sunsets and a paint-by-numbers script.
  10. The Runner
    The Runner is a well-meaning character study with an admirably cynical ending, but it’s too cold to ever fully draw you in.
  11. Krystal
    Krystal feels like the result of an elaborate blunder wherein three different scripts were accidentally shuffled together and then — presumably through a series of hijinks — the director accidentally shot it all straight through.
  12. The Dirt
    It’s cartoonish, fast-paced, a bit cheesy, and ridiculously dumb fun.
  13. After the Sunset
    A fun-in-the-sun heist caper that director Brett Ratner stages as if he were the activities director of a cruise ship.

    Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit
    To say the script is lame is to be charitable, but Whoopi’s irrepressible charm makes the nunsense watchable. Once again Hollywood doesn’t know when to leave well enough alone: Renting this sequel is like advancing a grade and getting last year’s teacher.
  15. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
    A stillborn rendering of Michael Chabon's first novel.
  16. The Flintstones
    The Flintstones is a big, shiny package of comic nostalgia, as much a theme park as a movie.
  17. Mile 22
    It’s both a bit confusing and a bit confused. Fortunately, it’s also loaded with some of the crunchiest action scenes since the John Wick movies thanks to Indonesian martial-arts maestro Iko Uwais.
  18. Senseless
    Her setups here are so witless and pedestrian that there's no imagination to the crude slapstick punchlines; we're just watching a bland jester pantomime sensory overload.
  19. Our Family Wedding
    Be prepared to swallow a lot of empty-calorie jokes in which blacks and Latinos insult and misunderstand one another in a spirit of vigorous buffoonery.
  20. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    The gruesomely unnecessary remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is such a smorgasbord of slimy grunge that to call the movie gross wouldn't do it justice -- it's downright sticky.
  21. Taking Lives
    After ''Seven'' and three ''Hannibal'' hits, the audience tolerance for baroque serial-killer flourishes has been duly amped. We require sustained creativity in our sick violence, and Taking Lives, after a token bit of ghastly foreplay, loses its life.
  22. The Chronicles of Riddick
    This is a movie so devoted to metal that it couldn't care less about the flesh it destroys.
  23. Michael
    The director, Nora Ephron, displays her peerless gift for making everything seem snappy and mushy at the same time, and Travolta's performance has a slovenly, I-can-do-anything-and-you'll-still-love-me obnoxiousness.
  24. Entourage
    Entourage, the show and the movie, is about five insanely lucky knuckleheads who have each other’s backs in a town that’s more likely to stab you there.
  25. Terminator Genisys
    The story isn’t just confusing, it’s a betrayal to anyone who’s invested brain cells in the Terminatorverse over the past 31 years.
  26. Gemini Man
    Somehow though, the film registers as a strange, airless whiff — stale, inert, and oddly melancholy. The script rarely rises above the schematics of a thousand thrillers that languish on late-night cable, and the almost willfully cliché dialogue sounds as if it’s been generated by some kind of free-with-purchase screenwriting app.
    • 38 Metascore

    Eragon
    Though the movie, which was adapted from a book written by Christopher Paolini when he was a teenager, aims high by ripping off the classics (even down to Eragon’s murdered uncle), what it most recalls are the cheesy lost sword-and-sorcery epics from the '80s, awful movies in the vein of "Yor: The Hunter From the Future" and "The Blade Master."
  28. Empire
    Leguizamo owns Empire, the first film to capture the live-wire crackle of his one-man stage shows -- He's front and center in nearly every scene, and he holds the screen with a simmering self-assurance.
  29. Blow Dry
    Written by Mr. ''Full Monty'' himself, Simon Beaufoy, and, like ''Monty,'' sprinkles pixie dust over the heads of worn out local folk.
  30. The Jungle Book 2
    The same money-minded dreamers who found a way to ''Return to Neverland'' have hacked a path back to Baloo heaven.
