  1. Anatomy of Hell
    Homophobic, sex-phobic, maybe even human-phobic.
  2. Silver City
    Silver City may be the mustiest political-conspiracy tale ever filmed; it's like "Chinatown" rewritten by Ralph Nader.
  3. Spanglish
    This is a deeply unpleasant movie masquerading as a heartfelt social commentary on life in these United States.
  4. Darkness
    Darkness was clearly tossed together like salad in the editing room, since it's little more than the sum of its unshocking shock cuts.
  5. Kingpin
    Lowest-common-denominator humor.
  6. Feeling Minnesota
    Feeling Minnesota suggests Sam Shepard trying to be Quentin Tarantino. It makes even gun battles seem pretentious.
  7. Billy Madison
    By the end, you feel like a drill sergeant-you want to wipe that stupid grin off Sandler's face.
  8. Excess Baggage
    What Emily doesn't do, though -- what this slow-moving, sour, sloppily assembled teen drama doesn't allow her to do -- is make her predicament of any emotional interest.
  9. Mrs. Winterbourne
    Lake and Fraser never come close to believability as a romantic couple. There's more chemistry going on in a grain of salt.
  10. 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.
  11. Last Action Hero
    Last Action Hero makes such a strenuous show of winking at the audience (and itself) that it seems to be celebrating nothing so much as its own awfulness. In a sense, the movie's incipient commercial failure completes it aesthetically.
  12. Hoffa
    The most irritating thing about Hoffa is that even after you've sat through Danny DeVito's turgid, meaninglessly sprawling account of the Teamster boss' rise and fall, you still won't have any idea who Jimmy Hoffa was.
  13. Kalifornia
    It's like a film-school thesis gone disastrously wrong.
  14. Killers
    The steady drip-drip-drip of nothings like this are killing us all.
  15. James' Journey to Jerusalem
    You'd think that the film would ask you to be appalled at this scenario of forced servitude -- but no, it's treated as harmless and cute, like an Israeli ''Chico and the Man.''
  16. 95 Miles to Go
    The mangy joke in the defiantly homemade documentary 95 Miles to Go is that Ray Romano on a business trip is no different from any other schmo, minus the autograph signing.
  17. House
    The backstories keep piling up, with nods to "The Shining," "The Ring," and a dozen other gothic supernatural chillers, yet the result doesn't remotely scare you.
  18. Oh My God
    The answers he strings together are babble in this superficial vanity documentary. Nice shots of awesome, God-approved scenery, though.
  19. Why Did I Get Married Too?
    WDIGMT? serves up speeches about trust and fidelity and rolling with the punches and blah blah blah. But it does so with so little energy that the actors might as well be saying the words blah blah blah.
  20. Trash Humpers
    In Trash Humpers, the latest slovenly, haphazard, is-it-a-travesty-if-it's-bad-on-purpose avant doodle from director Harmony Korine, three figures in rubbery old-age makeup do indeed mimic intercourse with Dumpsters.
  21. Love Ranch
    Taylor Hackford, fails to squeeze the tiniest bit of juice, sexy or comic or otherwise, out of the chintzy-libertine locale.
  22. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
    No movie -- whether aimed at adults or kids or canines themselves -- has the right to be as tiresome and unoriginal as this action-comedy mutt.
  23. Faster
    Faster grafts that genre's style onto a deadbeat script and leaves it to Johnson - as deadly focused as a gunsight - to make it all believable.
  24. A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop
    I wish I could say that the film is half as intriguing as it sounds, but A Woman, a Gun... lacks the Coen brothers' precision, their diabolical game-board cleverness. It's a remake in shaggy outline only.
    • 37 Metascore

    Resident Evil: Afterlife
    Afterlife is slow-moving but relentless, and judging from a post-credits teaser that promises yet another sequel, it has an unquenchable appetite for your brain cells.
  26. The Rite
    The Rite commits the supreme sin of making the devil dull.
  27. The Roommate
    A far-below-par thriller that desperately wishes it were a different movie - a longing it shares with the audience.
  28. Sucker Punch
    The music screeches, the actors vamp, the knives and weapons and bombs and fireballs fly around the screen. Meanwhile, the well-prepared moviegoer slips into her or his own private fantasy of a world in which movie effects are themselves locked away in an institution for the criminally insane until such time as those effects are really, truly necessary for the story.
  29. Just Go with It
    A bummer - slack rather than loose, tired rather than fun.
  30. Battle: Los Angeles
    Except for the relentless, jittery way that the film has been photographed, there's nothing of interest going on in it. It's all fractious guerrilla-newsreel "style" masquerading a void.
