  1. Angel-A shows how director Luc Besson can be French in a way that even the French might despise...Quel ick. And très tedious.
  2. An appalling, jaw-dropping movie that will cause serious nightmares.
  3. Too grim for kids and too dumb for grown-ups.
  4. Horror standbys like mangled corpses and stone-faced children pop up regularly, but sibling directors Charles and Thomas Guard haven't quite nailed the genre's rhythms.
  5. Don't be fooled by the low grade: This sequel-in-spirit to Jean-Claude Van Damme's 1994 dud doesn't even succeed in being memorably bad.
  6. The audience may have bought the act in "Napoleon Dynamite." But this time, the act bombs.
  7. An aggressively inept demon-seed chiller starring a bunch of grown-ups who should've known better.
  8. 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.''
  9. While it's rarely scary, the film is often gory.

    By appearing in The Suburbans, a stunningly laugh-free comedy, (Jennifer Love Hewitt)'s already gotten her career-worst movie out of the way.
  10. It has that vintage Polish pace, their signature arch pomposity and rhythmless weirdness, only this time the brothers had to go and make a cosmic allegory of American dreams.

    Even Christians hip to TBN preachers' peculiar eschatology may be baffled by the incoherent wrap-up, which provides the stingiest Second Coming since the third ''Omen ''movie.
  11. The movie, a shoddy mess, is a bargain-basement rip-off of ''Ronin."
  12. Less a movie than a 93-minute Mountain Dew commercial.
  13. Serves up the sort of shrill ''satire'' of middle-class Jewish vulgarity in which the mere mention of words like ''brisket'' and ''klezmer'' is automatically presumed to be hilarious.

    It's nearly unwatchable, a farrago of confusing direction, stupid plot coincidences, and banal dialogue.
  14. A crude, silly supernatural thriller.
  15. It will come as no surprise that the movie isn't scary. But here's the real damn: It isn't funny, either.
  16. Becomes yet another lame sports farce.
  17. Schaeffer's howler of a romantic comedy, which presents itself as a valentine to Clayburgh even as it keeps dreaming up fresh ways to humiliate her.
  18. The third helping of ''American Pie'' offers little more than crumbs. Half the franchise's core cast (including Mena Suvari, Chris Klein, and Tara Reid) chose to skip the big fat geek wedding.
  19. The Punisher is a moronically inept and tedious piece of death-wish trash.
  20. Maybe the worst thing that can happen is that every other movie at the multiplex will be sold out this weekend.
  21. The cast itself is weirdly overqualified.
  22. An awful, stillborn comedy assembled out of rusty spare parts from secret agent movies and run-of-the-mill ''Saturday Night Live'' skits.
  23. Nothing in Imaginary Heroes rings true, least of all a plot that lightly combines domestic abuse, adulterous pregnancy, teen bisexuality, job abandonment, and a possible case of Mysterious Movie Disease. These are not ordinary people. Or real ones.
  24. The definition of aiming low is when the John Hughes film you're ripping off is ''Weird Science."

  25. To a character, every man in this faux-homey burg has been castrated! They're all impotent buffoons!

    In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, the undead are back to stumbling in the dark, sometimes even in blurry slo-mo, making the many packs of them about as terrifying as the mobs waiting for Matt and Katie outside the "Today" studio.
  26. Fragmented and monotonous, without a semblance of the gymnastic cleverness that at least made the first Mortal Kombat film into watchable trash, Mortal Kombat Annihilation is as debased as movies come.
