  1. House of the Dead
    To properly convey the jaw-dropping shoddiness of this videogame-based ''horror'' ''movie,'' one must approach what scientists call Absolute Stupid, a state previously thought to exist only under highly controlled laboratory conditions or at the highest levels of government.

    Carpool
    Carpool is affably stupid Saturday-matinee fare -- good for opiating the kids for a few hours -- but let's just say it's no Big Bully.
  3. Mixed Nuts
    Confined to just a few sets, the movie is like the pilot for a sitcom you never want to see. Yet Ephron seems to think she's making a feel-good holiday classic: She floods the soundtrack with old pop versions of Christmas standards, trying to render stale comedy appetizing by drenching it in syrup. [23 Dec 1994, p.50]

    The Omega Code
    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.

    Rollerball
    Rollerball was trash even back in 1975, but in some small way it was ahead of its time. The new version just makes you feel like you've been watching a lame late-night rerun while stuck in a thunderdome.
  6. A Little Bit of Heaven
    Terminal colon cancer has never looked more fetching than in the critically ill romantic-disease comedy A Little Bit of Heaven.
  7. I Woke Up Early the Day I Died
    Just... bad. As in BAD bad.
  8. Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
    Processed comedy chop suey.
  9. Dungeons & Dragons
    Malty brew of heroics and minutiae.
  10. From Justin to Kelly
    It's like ''Grease: The Next Generation'' acted out by the food-court staff at SeaWorld.
  11. Glitter
    It's doubtful that even a real actress could have triumphed over the rusty tinsel of Glitter, a hapless, retro-'80s ''Star Is Born.''
  12. The In Crowd
    Isn't a movie, it's Gorgonzola, a crumbly summertime stinker veined with pop-cultural fungus.
  13. Love, Wedding, Marriage
    Though it doesn't work as entertainment, this numbingly chipper rom-com (directed by Dermot Mulroney) might be of historical value someday as an A-to-Z guide to the genre's most overworked clichés.

    Daddy Day Camp
    Filling in for Eddie Murphy in a septically humored kiddie sequel to "Daddy Day Care," Gooding gives a mug-job performance that consists mainly of reacting (again and again) to nasty smells.
  15. Fair Game
    A thriller primarily about the movement of Cindy Crawford's breasts beneath a succession of ever-smaller T-shirts.
  16. Freddy Got Fingered
    To dismiss this movie for being ''offensive'' would be to offer it high praise.
  17. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2
    Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 does all it was created to do: exist.
  18. Down to You
    For the audience, it's like watching the dreckiest of teen puppy courtships trying to pass itself off as ''Annie Hall.'' La-de-blah.
  19. New Best Friend
    Dudsville.
  20. Nothing But Trouble
    Most of the jokes are so lame that Chevy Chase can’t even be bothered to look nonchalant. A sadder excuse for a movie would be hard to imagine.
  21. The Avengers
    The Avengers is too enervated to qualify as even a full-scale disaster.
  22. Left Behind
    At best, Left Behind is shoddily made sensationalist propaganda — with atrocious acting — that barely registers as entertainment. At worst, it's profoundly moronic.

    Sins of Desire
    There’s plenty of simulation here and not much stimulation.
  24. Slackers
    The movie doesn't so much extend Schwartzman's antic outsider persona from ''Rushmore'' as uglify it, reducing him to the ultimate Uncool Anti-WASP.
  25. The Master of Disguise
    An awful, stillborn comedy assembled out of rusty spare parts from secret agent movies and run-of-the-mill ''Saturday Night Live'' skits.
  26. King's Ransom
    Generic hip-hop soundtrack? Check. Aerial stock footage of milieu? Check. Hardy-har homophobia and misogyny? Check. Emasculated sub-Gump white dude played by Jay Mohr? Double check.
  27. 3 Strikes
    Empty jokes hang heavy.
  28. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
    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.
  29. Date Movie
    In Date Movie, the hormones, anxiety, and princess jealousy that fuel the majority of Hollywood love stories are made so excessive that the romance itself is revealed to be...every bit as big a crock as it usually is.
  30. Pinocchio
    Benigni's Pinocchio is meant to be adorable, but he comes off as less an enchanted puppet than as a harmlessly deranged middle-aged man prancing about in the kind of froufrou cream-colored pantsuit that Dinah Shore retired to her back closet in 1977.
