  1. Bad Boys II
    Bad Boys II proves that it's possible to pack a movie with so much popcorn that it leaves the audience overdosed.
  2. The Green Inferno
    The Green Inferno is less a riff on spaghetti splatter flicks like Cannibal Holocaust than a desperate-to-shock pastiche of guts and gore served with a wink to audiences with strong stomachs. You know who you are.
  3. An American Haunting
    The unnecessarily famous cast for such a standard, creaking, fake-spooky ghost story (with Bible verses thrown in for good measure).
  4. Dark Streets
    Alas, the flimsy plot -- less a whodunit than an isn't-it-screamingly-obvious-that-that-guy-done-it! -- will have thriller fans singing the blues.
  5. Mechanic: Resurrection
    No one involved in Resurrection seems like they can be bothered to break a sweat. It’s a movie made by folks who know they can do better but couldn’t be bothered.
  6. Men in Black: International
    International is better than Men in Black II and worse than Men in Black III, and they’re all bad, so erase this sentence from your memory.
  7. Balls of Fury
    A joke of a title in search of a movie with a single good joke.
  8. The Life Before Her Eyes
    Perelman pays such cooing attention to surfaces that our response to violence carries no more importance than our response to the delicate jewelry around the adult Diana's neck.

    Just Visiting
    Forgoes the destructo silliness of the original in favor of one too many bland self help subplots.
  10. Radio
    Radio is assembled from small, hard stones of ignorance and intolerance paved over by large, mushy examples of community goodness.
  11. Never Die Alone
    Almost everything that frames the drug dealer's tale is facile and second-rate. Simply put, you don't believe it. What you do believe is DMX's cruel charisma.
  12. The Vatican Tapes
    The Vatican Tapes is basically “Exorcism’s Greatest Hits” played by a schlocky cover band.
  13. Ouija
    Within the pungent field of other wide-release scare jobs and films derived from cardboard-based time-killers for kids, Ouija stacks up relatively well, thanks to its look and a confident performance by Cooke.
  14. No Escape
    Even ignoring the racism — which is pretty much impossible — No Escape is a cliché-ridden, artless relic.
  15. Confessions of a Shopaholic
    Breathless and petite yet powerfully in-your-face, Fisher combines dizzy femininity and no-nonsense verve in the manner of a classic screwball heroine. She's like Carole Lombard reborn as a tiny angel-faced dynamo.
  16. The November Man
    The utter lack of originality eventually sinks the movie.
  17. Goats
    Ellis (The Good Wife's Graham Phillips), an alienated teen, smokes weed and hangs out with a goat-obsessed, pot-cultivating surrogate father (David Duchovny, hidden by hair). New Age details aside, though, Ellis is easily identifiable as a distant cousin-by-genre to J.D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield.
  18. The Rite
    The Rite commits the supreme sin of making the devil dull.
  19. Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    Messy and scattershot, with a plot that's little more than a dirty version of ''Flubber.''
  20. Laws of Attraction
    Operates on such outdated, unimaginative conventions of movie chemistry that Moore and Brosnan end up appearing older and stodgier than necessary.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Other Side of Heaven
    Slick, fact-based, missionary-themed drama.
  22. Raising Helen
    Hudson's sunny, ringlet-tossing appeal fits snugly into the film's happy-homemaker ideology: She makes caring for three kids she barely knows look downright glamorous.
  23. Paparazzi
    It doesn't take long for the film to devolve into a ludicrously far-fetched Celebrity Death Wish.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising
    A movie that should've been made shortly after its source material -- Susan Cooper's Newbery winner -- debuted in 1973. As is, it feels entirely too generic to work today.
  25. Seeking Justice
    The movie is never dull, though, and Cage acts every moment as if he means it. As the cult's leader, Guy Pearce, looking deeply creepy with a shaved head, has a cruel playfulness.
  26. Chaos Walking
    Mikkelsen has played iconic villains before, and while Prentiss isn't nearly as memorable as Hannibal Lecter or Le Chiffre, he still manages to imbue Chaos Walking with a sense of danger.
  27. Bad Santa 2
    As long as you know what you’re in for, the film is a hilarious good time, a respectable continuation of what made the first "Bad Santa" so fun.
  28. The Collection
    Remarkably, the result manages to be both more preposterous and more efficient than its predecessor, with a couple of deaths occurring so swiftly they border on the subliminal.
  29. 12 Rounds
    You will probably find yourself praying for this duel's knock-out punch to arrive long before it actually does.

    DOA: Dead or Alive
    If you only ever see one bad movie about warrior chicks who meet on a tropical isle for a fight contest, make it DOA: Dead or Alive.
