  1. Tears of the Black Tiger
    A few more films like Tears of the Black Tiger, and kitsch will be on its way to having a bad name.
  2. Hannibal Rising
    Hannibal Rising reduces this great creature of the pop imagination to a Eurotrash Boy Scout throwing a homicidal snit fit.
  3. Norbit
    Murphy speaks in a breathy lisp, as if his mouth had been partially buttoned shut, and he doesn't give himself the nerd's traditional redeeming feature of a geeky, slide-rule intellect. Norbit, all frozen gawk, is just a very dim bulb.

    Are We Done Yet?
    Atrocious sequel.
  5. Perfect Stranger
    A crappy thriller gussied up with a chrome-plated veneer.
  6. The Invisible
    Chatwin comes off as prickly and annoyed -- they should have called this "Perturbia."
  7. Next
    An immediately forgettable action pic directed with a blowtorch by Lee Tamahori.
  8. You Kill Me
    Inert dud of a hitmen-are-people-too comedy.
  9. Cashback
    Director Sean Ellis has a lovely eye, but he's set the film in his blind spot. Not only can't he distinguish between art and porn, savoring and wallowing, universal truths and exhausted clichés -- he doesn't even seem interested in these distinctions.
  10. Goya's Ghosts
    In a season of digital bombast, it can be a relief to walk into a stodgy life-of-the-great-man costume drama. Goya's Ghosts, before it turns into a messy, horse-drawn load, achieves a civilized stuffiness that gives off its own mild pleasure.

    Daddy Day Camp
    Filling in for Eddie Murphy in a septically humored kiddie sequel to "Daddy Day Care," Gooding gives a mug-job performance that consists mainly of reacting (again and again) to nasty smells.
  12. September Dawn
    The audience gets the message (religious fanaticism: bad), but nothing we see is convincing on its own.
  13. Death Sentence
    The morality of revenge is barely at issue in a movie that pushes the plausibility of revenge right over a cliff.
  14. Finishing the Game: The Search for a New Bruce Lee
    The film completely misses what should have been its real target -- the filming of Game of Death, a martial-arts campfest worthy of Edward D. Wood Jr.
  15. 30 Days of Night
    You can expect a lot of shredding and gurgling. 30 Days of Night is relentless, but it's also relentlessly one-note.
  16. Hitman
    Based on a videogame, Hitman could be the year's dumbest movie.
  17. Love in the Time of Cholera
    As for the splendid Spaniard Javier Bardem, now knocking socks off in "No Country for Old Men," his lot is worst of all. He's miscast as the romantic Florentino.
  18. One Missed Call
    This garbled American remake of Takashi Miike's already staticky 2004 exercise in J-horror is a wrong number.
  19. Fool's Gold
    Kate Hudson is as blah and dazed as her costar is cloyingly enthused. If it's possible to have too even a tan, Hudson in Fool's Gold would be the poster child for it.
  20. 10,000 BC
    Neither grand enough to be impressive nor antic enough to be charming, the movie settles for bland and frantic, climaxing in a showdown among decadent pyramid builders. How bad are these guys? They're sadists...and, wink wink, sissies.

    Never Back Down
    Movie is dopey. And with its emphasis on stupid violence, xylophone abs, and getting yourself on YouTube, it's yet another product that makes you feel bad about today's youth culture.
  22. Drillbit Taylor
    A failing-grade comedy about the wishful triumph of high school dorks over high school bullies.
  23. Run, Fatboy, Run
    Simon Pegg has what it takes, but he's saddled himself with a script (co-written by Pegg and Michael Ian Black) that Adam Sandler wouldn't have pulled out of his bottom drawer.

    Meet Bill
    Even a hilarious turn by Kristen Wiig as the owner of a doughnut company can't save this clichéd, meandering story from playing like "American Beauty" lite.
  25. Prom Night
    Viewers' own evenings, meanwhile, will likely be ruined by unimaginative direction, inane dialogue, and Schaech's passing resemblance to Forrest Gump.
  26. The Forbidden Kingdom
    This kingdom really should be forbidden.
  27. Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
    Regardless of your personal views, Expelled's heavy-handed bias (a visit to Darwin's home gets the same eerie music as a tour of Dachau) is exasperating.
  28. Deception
    Everything is wrong pretty much from the start of this misbegotten adventure.
  29. Mister Lonely
    None of the faux icons comes close to being a character. Instead, they are contrasted with a group of nuns who skydive without parachutes. Could this possibly be a metaphor for Korine's filmmaking? It certainly goes splat.
  30. The Children of Huang Shi
    It's like "Schindler's List" crossed with "The Sound of Music," and Roger Spottiswoode directs it in a stiff, lifeless, utterly dated style of international squareness.
