    Death Wish II
    The shamelessly rehashed Death Wish II finds Kersey in L.A., methodically hunting down those responsible for his daughter’s death (just as she’s recovering from her assault in the first Death Wish).
  2. Scary Movie 5
    Somehow, it actually looks cheaper than "Paranormal Activity." It's less funny, too.
  3. Nine Lives
    Watching these videos of actual cats, all of whom have racked up countless views on YouTube, just serves to underscore how unfunny and neutered Nine Lives actually is.
  4. Whipped
    The trouble with Whipped isn't that its characters are dirty mouthed horndog jerks -- it's that they're phony dirty mouthed horndog jerks.

    Car 54, Where Are You?
    Not even the presence of the irrepressible David Johansen (here playing the Gunther Toody role originated by the ineffable Joe E. Ross on the ’60s television show) and a paddy wagon full of engaging Noo Yawk types can pull Car 54, Where Are You?‘s woebegone comedy out of the vulgar ditch that its screenwriters drove it into.
  6. Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star
    Bucky Larson is a one-note joke played over and over and over.
  7. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
    Just a lumbering, poorly photographed piece of derivative sci-fi drivel, full of grunting extras scampering around in animal pelts and more dank, trash-strewn sets than I ever care to see again.

    Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2
    The film's moral? Turn off the TV, young 'uns, and go outside and play! And avoid Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 matinees while you're at it.
  9. Alone in the Dark
    Far be it from me to dismiss a man's effort (Uwe Boll) in a sentence, but the film on your teeth after a three-day drunk possesses more cinematic value.
  10. Meet the Spartans
    Less classic Mel Brooks than middling "Best Week Ever."
  11. Transylmania
    It's tempting to say ''avoid at all costs,'' but truthfully, everyone should see something this bad at least once, if only to help us better appreciate the comparatively brainy merits of works like "Eurotrip," "Freddy Got Fingered," and the modern-day plague of movies with titles ending in "Movie."

    Baby Geniuses
    The worst movie of 1999.
  13. Miss March
    Writer-director-stars Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore, of the Whitest Kids U'Know, here prove the crassest, most maladroit moviemakers you know.
  14. Screwed
    It's a shrill, stupid, brickbat-blatant piece of hackwork that practically sweats to be ''commercial.''
  15. The Hottie & the Nottie
    The Farrelly brothers could burp out a movie funnier than The Hottie & the Nottie, a farce of corrupt stereotypes that's never more grotesque than when it pretends to be more than skin-deep.
  16. The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)
    Even by the series’ already low standards, The Human Centipede Part 3 is crap.
  17. Vulgar
    The only thing shocking about it, however, is the degree to which self-congratulatory gutter exhibitionism has become the degraded ash end of indie ''edge.''

    Bio-Dome
    Even with the low expectations any reasonable viewer brings to a Shore flick, this rates only stupid-plus. The bongs-and-pajamas set, though, should be riveted.
  19. Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage
    Fans will gorge on this deft, year-by-year portrait of the ultimate enduring cult band.
  20. The Diplomat
    Directed by Holbrooke’s son, David, the film balances poignant political insight with a heartfelt narrative about a man trying to reckon with his absent father’s legacy.

    Ratter
    Ratter definitely delivers an effective paranoia creep-factor towards the end, but first, the audience has to get through about 45 minutes of just watching Ashley Benson cook eggs, shave her legs, and dance in her living room.

    Going Overboard
    At least the movie has archival value: an early appearance by Chicago Hope‘s Peter Berg, along with Billy Zane embarrassing himself as a favor to his wife, Liza Collins Zane, who costars in the film.

    Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest
    This latest installment — the best of the Stephen King-derived series — offers some unexpected plot developments and surprisingly chilling gore. But fear not, it’s unlikely Urban Harvest will cause nightmares, due to its hilariously inept climax.
  24. One October
    It’s Pigeon’s sincere approach here and throughout the documentary that holds the audience’s attention.

    • 58 Critic Score
    The Brain That Wouldn't Die
    The Brain That Wouldn’t Die has an equally familiar basic plot (mad scientist tampering in God’s domain), but it’s grimmer (a fair amount of gore), sleazier (B-girl catfights), and cruel to its leading lady, an attractive actress who spends most of the picture shot from the neck up, with her seemingly disembodied head sitting in a laboratory pan.

    My Best Friend
    [Lanthimos] also co-directed it with comedian Lakis Lazopoulos, which means there are fewer of his handprints here, though he still imbued the buddy comedy (about a man who finds his pal in bed with his wife) with plenty of dark humor.
