  1. Letters to God
    A bland, pious yet touching faith-based tearjerker.
  2. Tyler Perry's The Single Moms Club
    As with most of his films (Madea-centric and otherwise), subtlety isn’t Perry’s strongest suit. He tends to hammer his audience over the head with canned sentimentality, lazy stereotypes, and easy uplift.
  3. Surveillance
    A grubby, disturbing serial-killer mystery, a kind of blood-simple "Rashomon."
  4. Fifty Shades Freed
    Strip the pleasure away from a guilty pleasure and what are you left with exactly? Fifty Shades Freed, the third and final cinematic installment in E.L. James’ trashy S&M trilogy, answers that question with every ludicrous plot twist, stilted line delivery, and too-laughable-to-be-hot sex scene.
  5. In the Mix
    A genially cruddy B movie can sometimes go places - sort of - that bigger movies won't.
  6. Silent Hill
    A few of the images are startling, but as Radha Mitchell (a good actress) wanders through a ghost town, searching for her lost daughter as though she was touring an abandoned movie set, Silent Hill is mostly paralyzing in its vagueness.
  7. The Lazarus Effect
    I would have loved to see more from the filmmakers, daring to fail while staking out some new terror incognita instead of just going through the motions of an experiment for which we already have the results.
  8. The Honeymooners
    Epps has a nicely beaten charm to him -- among the leads, he alone looks like he knows what a trip to the moon costs.
  9. Lucky Numbers
    The laughs are few in this inert, ungenerous comedy.
  10. Cursed
    Screenwriter Kevin Williamson (the Scream trilogy), having bottomed out in the horror genre, now dips below bottom (there isn't a line that has his knowing sweet-and-sour zing).
  11. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
    Turtles is head-and-shell better than "Transformers." Cowabunga?
  12. Battlefield America
    The editing in Battlefield America is super-speedy: Each shot lasts about three seconds, and then it's off.
  13. Perfect Stranger
    A crappy thriller gussied up with a chrome-plated veneer.
  14. Your Highness
    Natalie Portman, by the way, is fierce and funny as a babe warrior the brothers meet along the way. She's good with dirty words, too.
  15. House of 1000 Corpses
    Isn't coherent, exactly, but what dripping-ghoul horror movie is these days? The new rule is, It's not hip to make sense when you're raising hell.
  16. They
    The hilarious diminuendo of that title is such that the movie might as well have been called ''Wes Craven Presents: Not a Hell of a Lot.''
  17. This Means War
    As is true in most buddy pictures, the real love in This Means War is between FDR and Tuck. Pine and Hardy are an odd choice as Men Who Bond. Pine behaves like a player on Entourage; Hardy broods as if he thinks dating is torture. But as a result, they're kind of cute in an itchy and scratchy way, ­bumping shoulders in a pantomime of what men do in love and war.

    Repossessed
    For a movie seemingly written and directed by sophomore-year film students, Repossessed offers a number of laughs. Five. But it mainly demonstrates that Nielsen is at his best when leaving production duties to professionals.
  19. That's My Boy
    Never underestimate the importance of guy-on-guy sentimentality in the Adam Sandler universe. It's his way of making his fans feel as if he's high-fiving them, or maybe giving them a group hug. But Sandler, bottom line, is too good at playing louts like Donny to spend this much energy getting us to like them.
  20. Gray Matters
    Graham makes the coming-out dithering bearable, but not before she has jumped through hoops of contrivance.
  21. Gossip
    Mostly hot air.
  22. Pootie Tang
    Amiably silly.
  23. Antitrust
    While Robbins has a good time playing the boyish devil, the rest of the principals transmit on an awfully low baud rate.

    The Big Hit
    It's tempting to brand the film anti-Semitic, but it's so utterly pointless it lacks even that distinction.
  25. Death Wish
    Eli Roth’s Death Wish isn’t a bad movie as far as super-violent exploitation flicks go. But it is a deeply problematic one. And that problem boils down to this: It’s the absolute wrong movie at the absolute wrong time.
  26. Getting Even with Dad
    A movie not funny enough for a comedy, not touching enough for a heart-warmer, and not energetic enough for a story about a robbery of rare coins — Danson and Culkin end up exposing all their weaknesses.
  27. Blind Fury
    The Zatoichi films are amusing comic-strip spectaculars — the blood spurts like something out of a Hawaiian Punch commercial. The action in Blind Fury, on the other hand, is resolutely earthbound and heavy-duty. The fact that Hauer kicks, slashes, and punches without the benefit of sight just makes you acutely aware of how ludicrous this stuff always is.
  28. Hellboy
    The best thing I can say is: This is a mess that makes no sense, so it’s a cure for the common overly architected superhero film.
  29. Hounddog
    Fanning is remarkably collected and even dignified. As for the rest of the gang, they ought to be returned to sender.
  30. Envy
    Leaves you with the dismaying sensation that Levinson, who should probably be off making his own version of ''The Player,'' has instead crafted a comedy of self-loathing, burying himself in a movie that deserves to be Vapoorized.
