  1. 200 Cigarettes
    A gaggle of hip actors squander their gifts in this unfunny, out-of-control comedy.
  2. The Expendables 3
    So let me just say that this latest rah-rah red-meat installment is the biggest and best surprise of the series. It has its flaws, but it's mostly a big, dumb, gruntingly monosyllabic hoot.
  3. 20 Dates
    Raging ego aside, the penny-ante hucksterism of his I'm-going-on-dates-to-get-famous-making-a-movie-about-dates approach is too cloying and opportunistic to bear.
  4. A Nightmare on Elm Street
    It's not every day that one of our rogues' gallery of iconic psycho killers gets to be played by a creepy and fascinating actor -- in this case, Jackie Earle Haley taking on the role of Freddy Krueger.
  5. 102 Dalmatians
    This sequel adds more insults and injuries that could traumatize little ones. Most frightening of all, the ending leaves the door open for ''103 Dalmatians,'' which would certainly constitute Cruella and unusual punishment.

  6. The Perfect Score
    The movie, which strains to be hip in a faux-1985 beat-the-system way, takes such a light view of cheating that it has the ironic effect of rendering the heist that follows utterly innocuous.
  7. Stateside
    If you were looking for an actress to play a tempestuous, schizophrenic movie-slash-rock star, you might go for Courtney Love or Angelina Jolie, or maybe even Jennifer Connelly. But Rachael Leigh Cook?
  8. Loosies
    A harmless crime caper. It stars Peter Facinelli (Nurse Jackie, the Twilight series), who also wrote the script, shaping the movie to his facile, unlayered charm.
  9. The Last Exorcism Part II
    Unfortunately, no one involved seems to have bent over backwards to make the movie either original or even all that scary.
  10. What's Your Number?
    Under the direction of Entourage's Mark Mylod, the movie not only makes cheap sex jokes but looks skanky, too. Lighting, camerawork, and editing are all a slapdash mess, one that further hinders the actors trying their best to get through this failed hookup of a comedy.
  11. Mirrors
    The movie could have been a lot scarier.
  12. Hitman
    Based on a videogame, Hitman could be the year's dumbest movie.
  13. Lullaby
    A raft of fine actors – including Amy Adams, Richard Jenkins, and Downton Abbey’s Jessica Brown Findlay – are wasted in a sour, callow family drama that mistakes constant yelling for emotional tension and fortune-cookie aphorisms for wisdom.

    Primeval
    Pit a reptile the size of a school bus against an American TV-news crew in war-scarred Burundi, and you get "Hotel Rwanaconda," a horror movie interested in cheesy scares and drawing attention to the plight of poor Africans. (So no, Primeval is not the '"serial killer'" film promised by the ads.)
  15. Proud Mary
    Henson clearly has the swagger, charm, and ferocity to make one hell of an action star. She deserves a movie that does her talents justice.
  16. Loser
    Well-meaning but hopelessly lost little comedy.
  17. Friday After Next
    The movie is altogether too infatuated with its ramshackle spirit. Most of the gags take after the characters -- they just sit there.
  18. Ghost Rider
    So much flatter than it was on the comic-book page.
  19. Who Killed Nancy?
    The film offers evidence that Vicious spent the entire night out cold on barbiturates. It plants resonant doubts.
  20. Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
    Instead of trying to adapt the video game experience into a film format, Kingsglaive transforms the movie-going experience into something familiar to video game fans. It’s essentially a really long cutscene.
  21. Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
    He squeezes a bit of suspenseful juice out of the old plot, and Douglas makes smarm a chewy pleasure, but this is a noir in search of a hero we can root for because we actually buy what he’s doing.
  22. Yogi Bear
    There's nothing particularly inventive in the plot or grade-school humor, but the movie skates by on the timeless, undemanding charm of watching a tie-wearing bear try to steal people's lunches.
  23. Sphere
    Stripped of the pleasures of terror, flattened of grandeur (with a tacked-on coda that fairly groans with storytelling defeat), the movie sinks from the weight of its own heavyhandedness.
  24. The First Power
    Yet another low-grade spectacular about an evil force that leaps from body to body.
  25. The Three Musketeers
    It floats, but it's mainly filled with hot air.
  26. Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back!
    A dismayingly impersonal piece of anime, genial yet chaotic.
  27. I Spy
    TV's ''I Spy'' knew how to swing. The movie 'I Spy knows only how to scramble and string together moments of Murphy braggadocio and Wilson stoner-ocity, and the sweat shows.
  28. The Wedding Ringer
    The Wedding Ringer is such a crudely edited, slapdash affair it often forgets about the characters it has introduced — especially the women.
  29. Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
    On Married With Children, the baby-faced Applegate has a slutty spark. Here, the role is too straight, and she’s blah — an apple pie that’s neither sweet nor tart enough.
  30. Hannibal Rising
    Hannibal Rising reduces this great creature of the pop imagination to a Eurotrash Boy Scout throwing a homicidal snit fit.
