  1. Assassin's Creed
    Here’s a film that turns Michael Fassbender into a puppet, and oh, those strings hold him down.
  2. Belly
    The bad acting — make that nonacting — of rappers DMX and Nas merges, all too well, with the shallow dehumanized vision of director Hype Williams.
  3. Conan the Barbarian
    There's something and nothing for everyone in Conan the Barbarian 3D.
  4. Special Correspondents
    What Gervais may have previously turned into a pointed satire of the news media instead becomes a flimsy farce that’s surprisingly low on laughs.
  5. Lady in the Water
    Shyamalan's most alienating and self-absorbed project to date.
  6. That Awkward Moment
    Sit tight through the end credits and you'll be treated to a few off-the-cuff outtakes of the guys doing things much funnier than anything in the film itself.
  7. Death Sentence
    The morality of revenge is barely at issue in a movie that pushes the plausibility of revenge right over a cliff.
  8. Buddy Boy
    Be wary of any movie in which the hero is monosyllabic and a stutterer at the same time.
  9. Who Is Cletis Tout?
    Allen is no more convincing than the writer-director, Chris Ver Wiel, who strings together faux-QT, faux-Elmore Leonard clichés like so many necklace beads and pretends that's the same thing as making a movie.

    Captain Corelli's Mandolin
    A movie that reduces history, as well as eros, to a postcard.
  11. Party Monster
    As stagy and awkward as some of the Warhol/Morrissey films of the early '70s.
  12. Runner Runner
    Even the best player can only go so far with a bum hand.
    • 36 Metascore

    Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
    All the virile violence in this buddy picture is lackluster — we’ve seen these fights, chases, and shoot-outs before.
  14. The Perfect Guy
    For all its third act nuttiness, The Perfect Guy really should have gone way crazier.
  15. Red Lights
    As a sinister ESP showman, Robert De Niro is corny and fun.
  16. Fast Food Fast Women
    Kollek is a fringe auteur who makes independent films the old fashioned way: no budget, static camera, a script that telegraphs its tiny, paste gem ironies.
  17. Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star
    The number of levels on which these pros trade on their diminished reputations makes the movie an inside joke rather than a funny one. If Spade thinks otherwise, he's nucking futs.
  18. Lucy in the Sky
    Lucy in the Sky’s attempt to sync cosmological visions with a believable human drama never quite works.
  19. 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.
  20. Turistas
    The movie, with the exception of that lone squirmy surgery scene, is "Hostel" without sadism, thrills, or funky severed-limb F/X. It quickly turns into a very dull escape thriller.
  21. Action Point
    Even the stunts – the whole raison d’etre of a movie like this – seem tame and staged. It cheaps out on the good stuff. And for a movie with so little going for it besides the threat of danger, there’s no excuse for Action Point to play it this safe.
  22. Alpha and Omega
    Underwhelming in the style of most off-brand CG, Alpha and Omega is livened by pretty Rocky Mountain backdrops and leadened by stock characters and the wolves' weirdly prissy behavior.
  23. Serious Moonlight
    There's a lot of yelling, cracking wise, and cooing in this creepy rom-com.
  24. College Road Trip
    At its best when it drops any pretense of plot for sheer goof (as when a Japanese sightseer belts ''Sister Christian'' on a karaoke tour bus), and at its worst when Lawrence manages to out-ham even his porky four-legged costar.
  25. Stardom
    It may be the first movie that mirrors, in its very syntax, the ''snap crackle and pop'' narcotic superficiality of the E! channel. I mean that as a compliment.
    • 36 Metascore

    The Thirteenth Floor
    So what is real? Only the boredom of the audience as the film collapses from one meaningless false-bottom environment to the next.
  27. The Reaping
    No belief on earth can rescue Swank from a film that's a chain of disaster chintz masquerading as a sermon.
  28. Dumb and Dumber To
    The ultimate sad realization is not that Dumb & Dumber To doesn't match the original's good-time quotient, but that it might not even be as good as—yikes — "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd."
  29. I Am Number Four
    Witless, insultingly derivative, muddy-looking, and edited in the hammering epileptic style that marks so many films produced, as this one is, by Michael Bay.
  30. What Happens in Vegas
    Kutcher, who gives his most energized performance to date, and Diaz, darting between the caustic and shrill, look as if they're warming up to groovy hate sex, not love, which may be why the film goes flat the moment it turns friendly.
