  1. Priest
    Its B-movie sins are many, worst among them an icy hero and a plot that feels like it was built from relics of other, better films.
  2. The Dictator
    What's shocking this time is how tame Sacha Baron Cohen's newest wild man is, for all the kerfuffle the comedian can stir up on the ­promotional trail.
  3. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1
    What we learn in this all-pain/no-pleasure episode is that marriage feels like a life sentence, weddings are miserable events, honeymoon sex is dangerous and leaves a bride covered in bruises, and pregnancy is a torment that leads to death in exchange for birth.
  4. Spy Kids: All the Time in the World
    The fourth installment of Robert Rodriguez's franchise that keeps adding dimensions even as it loses charm would have been better titled "Spy Kids: All the Time Puns in the World."
  5. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
    Good news: The shrill CG rodents, who last infested theaters in 2009's Squeakquel, are stranded on a jungle island with little hope of survival. Bad news: They've brought us along.
  6. Dream House
    This suburban gothic is a logy, convoluted mess.
  7. Anonymous
    Thumpingly silly yet self-serious period-piece what-if.
  8. Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer
    The lesson is that fun can't be planned, but the film is so airless (think iCarly as a videogame) that there isn't a truly playful moment in it.
  9. One Day
    A drippy, uninvolving movie adaptation.
  10. 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.
  11. The Dark Tower
    Bad dialogue, lame plot, fine. The bigger issue: How could a film with Elba and McConaughey have so little swagger?
  12. Dylan Dog: Dead of Night
    Never mind that Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is loosely based on an Italian comic series from the 1980s; this low-rent adaptation owes an embarrassingly big blood debt to HBO's "True Blood."
  13. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
    An intermittently fun, but overexcited and predictable mish-mash.
  14. Here Comes the Boom
    A cloddish, harmlessly drecky comedy from the Sandler factory of crude mush.
  15. Passion Play
    This underworld fairy tale is so soggy and sentimental it's like a new genre: Hallmark noir.
  16. Upside Down
    Upside Down is a very fancy piece of junk.
  17. The Cold Light of Day
    The result apes "The Bourne Identity" so slavishly yet so boringly it winds up with no identity at all.
  18. Playing for Keeps
    The central question of the movie becomes: Can George triumph over his inability to stop hot women from throwing themselves at him?
  19. W.E.
    The movie is a folly, a desultory vanity project for its director and co-writer. But for those very reasons, W.E., by world-renowned personage and lesser-known filmmaker Madonna, is not without twisted interest.
  20. Seventh Son
    (Bridges) has a tendency to make mistakes, especially when it comes to science fiction and fantasy titles. He has followed up the minor disasters that were "R.I.P.D." and "The Giver" with Seventh Son.
  21. The Son of No One
    The more that secret comes out, the more incoherent (and ludicrous) the film gets.
  22. The Watch
    If this amateur justice league spent as much time analyzing clues as they did analyzing their junk, in every slang variation available in the Urban Dictionary, the murder mystery in The Watch could have been solved on the first night of surveillance.
  23. Parker
    The movie is a morals-free procession of bang bang bang! and blood blood blood!, and men slamming each other with blunt objects and slicing each other with blades.
  24. Trouble with the Curve
    Even those who don't know a foul tip from a chicken wing will be able to spot the desperate plays.
  25. Albatross
    Trite lessons are learned. Plotlines play out in familiar arcs. A few blips of sex and drug use aim to make the movie feel more grown-up. Instead, they make it off-limits to the only age group likely to find any charm in its smug Britcom cutesiness.
  26. Hyde Park on Hudson
    It's tastelessness like this, served up as fair-game dish to a Downton Abbey-loving audience, that sours the flavor of this tittery production.
  27. Paranormal Activity 4
    PA4 develops the story ever so slightly (not enough to satisfy fans) and delivers a few good scares (not enough to satisfy newbies); mostly, it plays like a overlong prologue for the already-in-the-works PA5. Here's hoping this is just the tension-racking lull before the next big scream.
  28. Bullhead
    Overheated yet bizarrely opaque criminal character study from Belgium.
  29. 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.
  30. Red Hook Summer
    Red Hook Summer has some fantastic gospel numbers, but as drama it's a casserole that never comes together.
