  1. Homophobic, sex-phobic, maybe even human-phobic.
  2. If you want royal intrigue and insight, do yourself a favor and revisit Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview because Diana: The Musical is rather like the royal family itself these days, expensive and pointless.
  3. Yes, You Again. We've met before.
  4. The dumbing down of low-IQ sentimentality.
  5. A crude, silly supernatural thriller.
  6. In this post-"Mad Max: Fury Road" action movie age, “occasionally bonkers” just doesn’t cut it anymore.
  7. Still, there's no mistaking the central message: Slow people have much to teach us. Or is it: Slow people -- aren't they funny? Either way, it's pretty vile stuff.
  8. In the way of workaday flicks built around long-in-the-tooth badasses, Die Hard 5 leaves room for McClane to make a few jokes about his thinning hair and to rue that he wasn't a better father when his kids were growing up. Oh, boo-hoo.

    That creaking noise you hear in Ghost Ship is the rattling of countless plot skeletons that have sunk before.
  9. Cowgirls, a flaky-surreal adaptation of Tom Robbins' 1976 feminist hipster road novel, finds the director of "Drugstore Cowboy" and "My Own Private Idaho" lost in the ozone of his own private whimsies.
  10. Randall Miller (Bottle Shock), appears to be trying to cross a bad Elmore Leonard thriller with a bad indie-festival family-angst comedy. He gives us the worst of both worlds.
  11. The new sequel, London Has Fallen, implausibly ups its predecessor’s stakes to "Die Hard in the City of London." Unfortunately, widening the scope this dramatically causes the entire fragile action-movie axis to spin wildly out of control.
  12. Nobody's got a clue. Enquiring minds don't even want to know.
  13. Ends up about as exotic as a straight-to-cable potboiler.
  14. Collapses into the most generic sort of teen movie-ville, just at the moment it's convinced you that its lightly appealing stars are capable of better.
  15. Gory but dramatically inert vampire schlocker.

    High production values and a moderately appealing cast do nothing to ameliorate the tedium... The sappy concoction concludes with a genuinely impressive race sequence, but it’s not worth the wait.
  16. Even if Robin Williams were still among us, the limp, drearily derivative A Merry Friggin' Christmas would feel like it had a pall cast over it.

    The best thing about this B movie is always going to be its title, but there’s more than a catchy name to this DVD.
  17. While CHIPS sure is goofy, it falls flat compared to other buddy-cop comedies in its genre, relying too heavily on unpleasant sex jokes (often revolving around gay panic) and a nonsensical crime plot.
  18. How brazenly can one film rip off "Alien," "I Am Legend," and, somewhat oddly, "The Poseidon Adventure"?
  19. The movie, in its basic concept, is corny and contrived, but as written and directed by Justin Zackham, it's executed in a pleasantly wry and understated fashion.
  20. Too mild to be dirty, yet too dirty to be charming, and altogether too generic to be much of anything.
  21. A remake of the 1986 suspense ''classic,'' is as processed and hoot-worthy as the original.
  22. A cheap cut-glass tiara of a booby prize goes to Drop Dead Gorgeous for messing up so utterly.
  23. Any grown men and women who pay to see the movie face a harrowing ordeal.

    Stuffed with stock characters -- the vain prince, the critter sidekicks -- who adamantly stay stock.
  24. The story's a snooze, so the filmmakers punch it up with smash cuts and thunderclaps that turn the most laughably banal items -- birds, mail, an alarm clock -- into cheap jack-in-the-box shocks.

    The filmmakers hedge their bets by making the young marrieds agnostic at the start of the movie, in order to turn Fireproof into a manual for eternal as well as marital salvation.
  25. Director Dito Montiel splinter’s the film’s story on multiple tracks, in a truly shameless and incredibly obvious effort to protect a Big Twist.
