    Freejack
    Directed by Geoff Murphy, Freejack is rife with run-of-the-mill action sequences and glaring inconsistencies.
  2. Self/less
    Self/less’ greatest crime is that it’s not enough of anything: Not brainy enough to party with the theories about consciousness that Ex-Machina delivered earlier this year, nor is it over-the-top enough to compete with the campy goofballery of something like Limitless.
  3. The Other Man
    The Other Man is self-conscious, overproduced, overacted Euro-marital hoo-ha.
  4. Red Planet
    Watching the movie, it's hard to imagine why anyone would dream of going back there.

      Ty Burr
    The Glass House
    As the supporting cast gets winnowed away, though, we're left with a cat-and-mouse game between girl and murderous faux-dad that's simply boilerplate.
  6. Mission to Mars
    In the presence of profound questions, the filmmaker goes profoundly shallow.
  7. Bewitched
    The Ephron sisters, sophisticates entrusted with a simple TV situation comedy, lose the magic of the com as they mess with the sit.
  8. The Back-up Plan
    As a romantic comedy, The Back-up Plan is friendly but also a bit drab.
  9. Keeping Up with the Joneses
    Between Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher, Jon Hamm, and Gal Gadot, Keeping Up with the Joneses has a stacked cast, but thanks to a tepid script from Michael LeSieur (You, Me and Dupree), they don’t actually get that much to do.
  10. A Long Way Down
    With an ace troupe like that, there are affecting moments, to be sure. But the movie criminally wastes Sam Neill and Rosamund Pike in barely there supporting roles, and the picture has exactly two tones: grim and gooey. They do not coexist harmoniously.
  11. Slow Burn
    A strange, sprained, but sprightly fusion of "The Usual Suspects" and the "Tragic Mulatto," Slow Burn wants badly to turn its standard neo-noir into a nuanced racial chiaroscuro.

    The Messengers
    There are a few decent jolts in The Messengers, but every one of them is accompanied by a cheap freak-out on the soundtrack so you know to be decently jolted.
  13. The Forest
    Perhaps the biggest problem with The Forest is that it’s ultimately not very scary.
  14. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
    The movie is cheesy, tacky, and gimmicky. But as directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls), it's also prankish and inventive enough to be kind of fun.
  15. Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous
    Isn't exactly good - like "Legally Blonde 2," it's a more exaggerated, less buoyant sequel to what should have been a one-off comedy - but it's enjoyable.
  16. On the Line
    On the Line would like to be ''Serendipity'' for the Oxy-and-Skechers set, but it feels more like the worst movie Michael J. Fox never made.
  17. My Life in Ruins
    The film is so brazen about its pandering, crumple-hearted silliness that it had me rooting for Vardalos to land her big fat Greek stud-muffin.
  18. The Happening
    Some sure symptoms: The movie demonstrates a smart movie geek's obsession with the rhythms and gory details of horror storytelling, undermined by a pompous insistence on spiritual lessons of the tritest kind.
  19. The Dark Tower
    Bad dialogue, lame plot, fine. The bigger issue: How could a film with Elba and McConaughey have so little swagger?
  20. The Last Witch Hunter
    Seemingly every time there was an opportunity to do something fun, The Last Witch Hunter runs in the other direction, creating an unfortunately heavy-handed, humorless, self-serious tone for a story that should be allowed to be a little goofy.
  21. 15 Minutes
    Is less an end in itself than an excuse, a jumping off point for showy, contrived, borderline exploitation sequences that fail to tie together because they're not really there to do anything but sell themselves as money shot thrills.
  22. The Haunted Mansion
    Tame and witless enough to make me long for the ancient, dusty fright kitsch of ''The Munsters.''
  23. Major Payne
    It’s an unmitigated nightmare of crude, boorish tripe-and woe unto our nation’s future if kids find it hilarious.

    Street Fighter
    As the mercenary in charge of liberating hostages from the megalomaniacal General Bison (Julia), Jean-Claude Van Damme finds a showcase for his comic skills in Street Fighter.
  25. Get Hard
    Get Hard is not only a bad movie but a profoundly wasted opportunity.
  26. Law Abiding Citizen
    Clyde is meant to be nuts, but too often it's Law Abiding Citizen that checks rationality at the door.
  27. Friday the 13th
    However, this film is (be)head and shoulders above the recently reanimated likes of "Prom Night" and "My Bloody Valentine."
  28. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
    Most of the movie's action-horror set pieces play like lame Gwar music video outtakes, and Cage's signature mix of irony and off-the-rails mugging only works when you can see the actor's face. In Ghost Rider form, his character is just a skeletal automaton with neither a tongue nor a cheek to put it in.
  29. Year One
    This is just silliness run mildly wild.
  30. Motherhood
    Parenthood seems only half aware of Eliza's REAL problem: that she thinks she's superior to the choices she's made.
