  1. Son of the Mask
    The characters twirl around like mini tornadoes, but between random brash moments of technological eye-tickling, Son of the Mask sags more than it spins.
  2. The Last Airbender
    The movie is "Star Wars" with martial arts, plus a touch of "The Last Emperor." Technically, it's not badly done; I enjoyed the physical clash of elements, the water balls rising like sculpture in the air.
  3. Whatever It Takes
    Populated by ersatz versions of stars who, in this case, are fairly vanilla to begin with.
  4. Joe Dirt
    Ends up blowing its own joke. Instead of making Joe blissfully arrogant in his Southern rock dude myopia, it turns him into a shuffling masochistic loser.
  5. Soul Survivors
    The only possible reason to see this otherwise average afternoon waster is Sagemiller.
  6. Marci X
    A talent-stuffed assemblage of barbs and giddy musical numbers that shouldn't be written off as a feature flop -- but savored instead for the cult-ready collection of late-night satirical skits and misses it is.
  7. Corky Romano
    It might be courting hyperbole to call Corky Romano the single worst movie ever to feature an ''SNL'' cast member (Dan Aykroyd hit some pretty arid valleys), but I'm willing to go out on a critical limb and rank it among the all-time bottom dozen.
  8. Digimon: Digital Monsters
    Aa shockingly chintzy spin-off of Fox's post ''Pokémon'' cartoon hit.
  9. Assassin's Bullet
    The cockeyed C-quality B movie, shot on location with a Balkan supporting cast and crew, mixes a precarious pileup of visual clichés with over-staged action sequences.
  10. The Cat in the Hat
    Someone (Myers?) came up with the bright idea of turning the Cat in the Hat into the worst Vegas nightclub spritzer of 1958. He's become a furry version of Rip Taylor: a walking, talking vaudeville idiot box.

    Virus
    The pathogenic agent to fear, however, is the one that evidently turned every line of dialogue into inane gibberish.
  12. All the Queen's Men
    The comedy is nonexistent.
  13. Thomas and the Magic Railroad
    Has the look of a great fairy tale -- all that's missing is the tale.
  14. Underclassman
    The loserville teen comedy Underclassman is like a student project sloppily cribbed from other kids' notes -- kids who have seen "Rush Hour" and still can't get over how funny it is to stick a noisy black guy in a distinctly nonblack setting.
  15. Old Dogs
    Exhausted as the premise already is -- hapless boomer learns that real manhood is a function of committed fatherhood -- Old Dogs nevertheless finds ways to make the lesson even less tolerable.
  16. Good Luck Chuck
    Can we finally just admit that Dane Cook isn't funny? In a comedy so lame its plot could've been swiped from a Bazooka Joe wrapper.

    Lost & Found
    Long on smarm and short on charm.
  18. Grown Ups 2
    For Sandler, it's not just when he grew up. It's the garden of idiotic innocence, something that, in Grown Ups 2, he is helping to keep alive.

    The Covenant
    Cobbled-together teenybopper tripe.
  20. Gummo
    There's no artistic or thematic point — except maybe to demonstrate that a young filmmaker is as much in need of someone to say no as the characters in this disingenuous exercise.
  21. Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
    Without any of the patented Farrelly insight into the insecure, horndoggy teen in every man, and without a grown-up setting in which Harry and Lloyd can transgress like dum-dum geniuses,Dumb and Dumberer is dumberest.
  22. Wild Orchid
    In the ludicrous soft-core fantasia Wild Orchid, Mickey Rourke is so tan he looks as though he’d spent a week with his head in a microwave.
  23. Downloading Nancy
    There are brutal scenes with razor blades and other impromptu devices of erotic torment, but what makes the movie a trial to sit through isn't just the heroine's pain-freak tastes.
  24. Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
    Kaos was apparently aiming for a coolly stylized, straight-faced take on ''Spy vs. Spy.'' As Maxwell Smart used to say, ''Missed it by that much.''
  25. Halloween: Resurrection
    Halloween: Resurrection comes closer to comatainment.
  26. Species II
    "Species" at least had the benefit of Henstridge's glazed porn-doll perversity, but this time any glimmers of sexual ominousness are buried in a lame, desultory chase plot and in the woefully underimagined special effects.
  27. Surviving Christmas
    There are no survivors here.

    Supernova
    Director Walter Hill won't take credit for Supernova... Can you blame him?
  29. Polar
    Åkerlund — the Swedish mastermind behind tastemaking music videos for the likes of Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift — has jittery, high-gloss style to spare. But the primary-colored nihilism of his storytelling feels amateurish and ultimately exhausting; a gleefully unhinged teenage-boy dream that aims only for hard, shiny surfaces, and stays there.
  30. Valentine
    Doesn't contain a single scary or imaginative moment.
