  1. The Bag Man
    The only one having any fun in this dead-on-arrival noir is Robert De Niro.
  2. House on Haunted Hill
    Trash, but always just a little creepier than you expect.
  3. A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III
    No less sweet for being unoriginal: A guy (Charlie Sheen) mourns a bad breakup with the woman he loves (Katheryn Winnick). The execution, on the other hand, is perilously self-absorbed.
  4. Season of the Witch
    The best thing about it is Claire Foy's performance as the seething, caged is-she-a-witch?. Foy, like a Brit Kristen Stewart, has an entrancing sparkle of disdain.
  5. Fifty Shades of Black
    The film manages to be surprisingly subversive with its humor.
  6. The Ugly Truth
    The Ugly Truth isn't fizzy and fun -- it's vacuously snappy.
  7. Deck the Halls
    In this year's lump of coal, Matthew Broderick is the control freak who lives for toasty yuletide cheer, and Danny DeVito is the vulgar pest who wants his holiday lights seen from space. The dueling-neighbor crankfest is blah.
  8. Gentlemen Broncos
    The audience may have bought the act in "Napoleon Dynamite." But this time, the act bombs.
  9. Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas
    Madea is still a witty character, but the gutter wisdom of her tossed-off verbal hand grenades can’t shock us anymore; even the outtakes that play through the closing credits feel like reruns.
  10. Pixels
    Neither Sandler nor his listless writers (too many punchlines just sit there and collect flies) seem invested. Whether he’s saving the planet or putting the moves on Michelle Monaghan, Sandler can’t be bothered to raise his pulse above comatose. If he doesn’t care, why should anyone else?
  11. Head Over Heels
    Bland to dismal.
  12. The Perfect Man
    What sin did Heather Locklear commit to deserve her role in The Perfect Man?
  13. Sweet November
    A very low grade romantic drama indeed, a love story with all the life and death intensity of a heat rash.
  14. Delgo
    Too grim for kids and too dumb for grown-ups.
  15. The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
    With no headliners to raise hopes, this negligible entertainment has its own boneheaded charms.
  16. Beverly Hills Ninja
    But when the writers run out of ideas, they simply have Farley walk into a lamppost, or cop from old SNL skits.
  17. Garfield
    Cloddish, unfunny dud.
  18. Mortdecai
    The movie is too odd and randy to play for kids on an Austin Powers level, and too broad to really work as farce. But Depp, god bless him, fully commits, and finds a few genuinely funny moments amidst all the outsize mugging and mild sociopathy.
  19. Nina
    Saldana (Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy) is an accomplished and bankable actress, but she doesn’t look much like Simone. That has led to several complaints, including from the Simone estate.
  20. The Book of Love
    It’s a diabetically sappy big-screen self-help seminar that should have been titled The Book of Schmaltz.
  21. The Bonfire of the Vanities
    One of the most indecently bad movies of the year.
  22. The Happytime Murders
    There are a few spiky moments of sick, WTF fun (a bout of rough sex that ends with a Silly String climax; the first time a puppet drops an F-bomb), but mostly it feels like a promising idea poorly executed.
  23. I Spit on Your Grave
    Now it's just some thin chick in her underwear, kicking butt.
  24. Vampire in Brooklyn
    Vampire in Brooklyn is a horror comedy that mixes lame blood-pellet effects with lame gags, and it clunks along on a series of interchangeably deserted streets that manage to look dank and overlit at the same time.
  25. Are We There Yet?
    It's been a while since we saw a bad John Hughes comedy, and Are We There Yet? more than fits the bill (even though Hughes had absolutely nothing to do with it).
  26. Flatliners
    It often feels like Flatliners is trapped between multiple genres without knowing exactly what kind of movie it wants to be, and the result is a confused mess.
  27. Sex and the City 2
    As Carrie might type on her laptop while giving one of her girly little shrugs, When did Sex and the City become so long and mean so little?
  28. Did You Hear About the Morgans?
    You should hear instead about Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen, who whip up cowboy fun as married U.S. marshals assigned to protect the pair in Wyoming.
  29. Crossroads
    Not only makes excellent use of the singer's sweetly coltish acting abilities, but it also promotes a standardized set of sturdy values with none of Mariah Carey's desperate ''Glitter,'' or any of Mandy Moore's gummy pap in ''A Walk to Remember.''
  30. The Majestic
    Maybe this well-loved Luke is who his neighbors want him to be, a good fellow who, with his father, reopens the old movie house in town -- the Majestic -- thus allowing his neighbors to dream in the dark again.
