  1. The Pink Panther 2
    Provides genial chuckles, but it's never excitingly rude.
  2. Striking Distance
    Bruce Willis is at his most morose in this flat, dankly lit, grindingly inept thriller about a serial killer whose victims all turn out to have been acquaintances of Willis’ rumpled, alcoholic cop hero. As his by-the-book partner, Sarah Jessica Parker is the only one in the movie who doesn’t look sleep-deprived.
  3. Something Borrowed
    Soul-sucking romantic comedy.
  4. The Invisible
    Chatwin comes off as prickly and annoyed -- they should have called this "Perturbia."
  5. Ithaca
    In all, Hanks’ casting feels like a missed opportunity—much like the rest of Ithaca.
  6. A Promise
    It’s well made but drearily familiar.
  7. Stolen Summer
    The entertainment gods have cast mixed blessings on Stolen Summer. Let Pete Jones pray.
  8. No Such Thing
    Hartley is trapped between sincerity and mock sincerity, and that all but dooms a filmmaker to slipping through the cracks.
  9. The Next Karate Kid
    Clearly, three sequels haven’t improved Miyagi’s English, but there is something bitchin’ about seeing a babe give a bully a good thwack. Not that girls will go see this or boys will care.
  10. Johnny Mnemonic
    Offhand, I can’t think of an actor who could use a brain implant more. The trouble isn’t that Reeves talks like a surfer dude; it’s that he tries so hard not to talk like a surfer dude.
  11. Saw IV
    He now imparts so many life lessons via his Rube Goldberg thresher devices that he's starting to turn into the Rod Serling of severed body parts. Now that's torture.
  12. Push
    A weightless, style-driven thriller set in a photogenically chaotic Hong Kong.
  13. Addicted to Fame
    The title Addicted to Fame hints that Giancola knows enough to count himself among the hooked. But the crappiness of this documentary about a crappy parody of a crappy B movie suggests that he hasn't kicked the habit.
  14. Kin
    Kin is a movie about a child with an all-powerful firearm that makes him feel important and special and powerful. On a one-to-ten scale of moral fecklessness, this ranks about a thousand.
  15. Blumhouse's Truth or Dare
    Hale and Posey are likable leads and director Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) injects proceedings with a propulsiveness which allows you to mostly ignore the odd plot strand which doesn’t really pay off or the general air of preposterousness.
  16. Love's Labour's Lost
    Too many moments of evident labor weigh this clever production down. To quote the playwright: ''Your wit's too hot, it speeds too fast, 'twill tire.''
  17. Universal Soldier
    Viewers primed for a postapocalyptic blowout will be disappointed to learn that Universal Soldier is set in the boring old present day, and that until the climactic clash the film is slow-moving and short on firepower.
  18. The Huntsman: Winter's War
    It’s the movie equivalent of a cake that’s all frosting.
  19. How to Lose Friends & Alienate People
    Best in show is the divine Gillian Anderson as a powerful celebrity publicist, editing the image of her clients in much the same way this adaptation tames Young's much pricklier book.
  20. Resident Evil
    A splattery futuristic zombie thriller, designed as a jolt-a-minute freakout for young audiences who were numbed into submission long ago.
  21. Mute
    The one thing Mute has going for it is Jones’ vividly imaginative sense of world-building. Like Ridley Scott with "Blade Runner," he fills every corner of the screen with something cool to look at.
  22. Teaching Mrs. Tingle
    A derisively vicious show-off satire, a plastic exercise in authority bashing.
  23. My Blue Heaven
    The movie itself, with the exception of a few scenes, doesn't really have the wit it's aiming for, and among Steve Martin vehicles it's middle-drawer, at best. Yet that mood of silly exuberance reigns through most of the picture.
  24. Stealth
    Stealth, a dregs-of-summer knockoff, is too ponderous and inept to serve a comparable function now, yet the film's lack of thrust may be related to an absence of conviction about its own war-is-a-videogame clichés.
  25. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
    George Lucas is turning into the enemy of fun.
  26. Venom
    Venom isn’t quite bad, but it’s not exactly good either. It’s noncommittally mediocre and, as a result, forgettable. It just sort of sits there, beating you numb, unsure of whether it wants to be a comic-book movie or put the whole idea of comic-book movies in its crosshairs.
  27. Dream House
    This suburban gothic is a logy, convoluted mess.
  28. Jumper
    Liman, for all his craft, doesn't have enough FUN with the premise.
  29. Rumor Has It...
    A mess -- all high concept, stranded performances, and no laughs.
  30. Salvation Boulevard
    The comedic slaps are too limp to leave a mark. Director George Ratliff applied a much clearer eye to "Hell House," his chilling 2001 documentary about a real church.
