    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.
  2. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    What work better in the movie are mostly smaller moments: the jokes that land, the rapport between the reporters, and all the weirdly ordinary ways people manage to find a new normal, even in the most WTF circumstances.
  3. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny
    It’s a shame the rest of the soap-opera story doesn’t measure up to its stunts.
  4. Only Yesterday (1991)
    Only Yesterday may have been released in 1991 and take place in 1982 and 1966, but Taeko’s reflection on girlhood is truly timeless.
  5. Gods of Egypt
    A shoddy special-effects howler that makes a hash out of both Egyptian mythology and human logic.
  6. Boy and the World
    With his crudely drawn stick-figure body and big, round Wiffle-ball head, Cuca is a bundle of jitterbug energy and boundless imagination. Like Riley’s in "Inside Out," his noggin is a wondrous place to spend an hour or two.
  7. Eddie the Eagle
    The movie version of his life, fittingly, is a massive vat of hot cocoa with a mountain of whipped cream on top — sweet and warm and made with a ­mission to satisfy everyone who takes a sip.
  8. Theeb
    The narrative sparseness of Theeb does not also apply to its cinematic virtues, which offer plenty for audiences to chew on, whether they’re looking for a non-traditional western adventure or trying to win their office Oscar pool.
  9. Forsaken
    Donald spits hot fire and brimstone, but Kiefer remains as bland an avenging angel of action as ever.
  10. Triple 9
    The most impressive thing about Triple 9 is that it somehow manages to be both predictable and incoherent at the same time. Well, that and the fact that it manages to make half a dozen good actors look really lost.

    The Mermaid
    The Mermaid is at its best when it embraces the ridiculous, no-holds-barred, farcical comedy that Chow has become known for, thanks to films like Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer.
  12. Risen
    Risen is more entertaining than Bible-adjacent stories are usually allowed to be.
  13. Race
    Credit Race for showcasing its hero’s human flaws, but the movie unfortunately lets him get away with them a little too easily (his grand makeup gesture to Ruth comes off more creepy than romantic).
  14. Embrace of the Serpent
    While its strange rhythms may not be for everyone, it does provide something unusual in today’s movies: a truly original experience for the mind and the soul.
  15. Touched With Fire
    Touched With Fire has something to say about a thorny, serious subject, but the light it shines doesn’t really illuminate anything new.
  16. A War
    Once again, the shaky handheld camerawork in the battle scenes don’t portray chaos so much as a sense that the cinematographer was being attacked by desert bees
    • 42 Metascore

    Lazer Team
    It’s the confidence and energy of the four leads that keep the comedy moving forward.
  18. The Witch
    What makes this chillingly creepy little black-magic folk tale work so beautifully is its evocative sense of time and place.
  19. Funny or Die Presents: Donald Trump's the Art of the Deal: The Movie
    It’s utterly demented, slightly terrifying, and most of all hilarious. It’s also one of the giddiest and most stinging political satires since Thomas Nast took on Tammany Hall.
  20. How to Be Single
    How to Be Single is a lot like its Jager-bombing, romance-seeking protagonists: Cute and goofy and kind of a mess.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Regression
    While Regression does, for the most part, deliver simmering suspense — and with Watson and Thewlis together, it’s fun (and weird) to see a mini-Harry Potter reunion — the script often falls flat, and the film sometimes leans too heavily on the score to telegraph an ominous tone.
  22. Tumbledown
    Tumbledown is a sweetly poignant look at what it means to move on.
  23. Rams
    The film’s glacial pacing and drily absurd tone mimic their relationship with a bit too much discipline.
  24. Misconduct
    The movie’s silly-arty aesthetic is regurgitated Polanski, and there’s a shameless script steal from "Presumed Innocent."
  25. The Club
    The result is expectedly harrowing and heartbreaking, making for a difficult watch that will reward those with saintly patience.
  26. Zoolander 2
    Zoolander No. 2 is embarrassing, lazy, and aggressively unfunny. The only good news is that at the pace the franchise is moving, we won’t get Zoolander 3 until 2030.
  27. Deadpool
    It doesn’t have the most adrenalized action sequences or the deepest origin story. What it has is the balls to mess with the formula and have some naughty, hard-R fun. It’s a superhero film for the wiseasses shooting spitballs in the back of the school bus.
  28. The Choice
    The Choice feels like Mad Libs with some of Sparks’ laziest clichés — a romantic rowboat, a colorful small-town carnival, a jealous upper-class boyfriend — and the result is a predictable, recycled mess.
  29. Hail, Caesar!
    It's Coen lite, basically, but still filled with their best signatures: cracked humor, indelible characters, and cinematography so rich and saturated you want to dunk a cookie in it.
  30. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
    The result should appeal to Austen aficionados and horror hounds alike—which is not a sentence you get to write too often.
