  1. The Killer Inside Me
    The Killer Inside Me may be the darkest film noir ever made.
  2. The Fluffy Movie
    Fluffy isn't awful, just disappointingly lightweight.
  3. And So It Goes
    The Rob Reiner of the past might have tackled a challenging topic, even in a romantic comedy. But that director, who hasn't made a good movie since the mid-1990s, is gone. So it goes.

    Hercules
    When Johnson is wearing the head of the slayed Nemean lion in battle, walloping enemies with his tree-trunk sized club, and heaving charging horses to the ground with remarkable ease, he's in his Rock comfort zone. But as a tortured hero hampered by self-doubt, Johnson labors.

    Lucy
    By the time the film exhausts itself—in a brisk 89 minutes — it feels like there's literally nowhere that Lucy and Besson can't go, no boundaries, no laws, no logic. Just go with it.
  6. The Purge: Anarchy
    When the situation is played totally straight, as it is for eighty percent of the running time, the message is boring: We'd all commit murder, theft and anarchy if only we could. With a narrative as depressively simplistic as that, we do find ourselves identifying with the characters in the movie—counting the minutes until the Purge is over.
  7. Magic in the Moonlight
    While it's breezy and funny and perfectly pleasant, you probably won't remember this particular gift by the time the next birthday rolls around.
  8. Sex Tape
    It's clumsy and wacky and intermittently amusing, and Rob Lowe looks like he's having a great time playing Real-Life Ned Flanders With a Deeply Weird Side once again.
  9. Wish I Was Here
    Braff, who co-wrote the film with his own brother, is clearly attached to the semiautobiographical material here and still has a knack for sweet two-person scenes.
  10. Planes: Fire & Rescue
    Despite somewhat of a direct-to-DVD plot, the perilous and elaborate rescue scenes are certainly big-screen-worthy. Canny references to '70s television and some genuinely funny moments will give grown-ups enough fuel to cross the finish line.
  11. I Origins
    It works its own sort of magic. After all, who doesn't want to believe that the soul does have a window, and that if it closes we might open it again?
  12. Mood Indigo
    A movie so stuffed with eccentricity, it rips at least a couple of seams.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A Most Wanted Man
    Crackles with a jigsaw-puzzle intelligence and features a superbly subtle lead performance from the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, who single-handedly gooses the post-9/11 procedural through some of its slower patches.
  14. A Summer's Tale
    Eric Rohmer’s sun-kissed love quadrangle remains as fresh and romantically profound as it was 18 years ago.
  15. Happy Christmas
    That doesn’t stop the movie as a whole from feeling a little slight, though, like a Christmas tree that isn’t entirely filled out.
  16. Affluenza
    The generational conflict — overly ambitious parents and their disaffected millennial children — plays so on-the-nose it almost seems like satire, but it’s really just bad writing.
  17. A Long Way Down
    With an ace troupe like that, there are affecting moments, to be sure. But the movie criminally wastes Sam Neill and Rosamund Pike in barely there supporting roles, and the picture has exactly two tones: grim and gooey. They do not coexist harmoniously.
  18. Boyhood
    Like Michael Apted in his "Seven Up!" documentary series, Linklater makes you feel as if you're watching a photograph as it develops in the darkroom.
  19. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
    A sequel that easily tops its 2011 predecessor.
  20. Life Itself
    In the end, cancer may have cruelly taken Roger Ebert's voice, but it couldn't silence his greatest gift: his ability to speak to his audience directly, honestly, and with empathy. Thumbs up.
  21. Deliver Us From Evil
    This rote exorcism-is-real claptrap.
  22. Tammy
    It's a broad, helter-skelter farce whose best bits hinge almost entirely on the considerable charms of its star.
  23. 2016: Obama's America
    Dinesh D'Souza's documentary is no mere screed: 2016: Obama's America is a nonsensically unsubstantiated act of character assassination.
  24. Transformers: Age Of Extinction
    Ultimately, Age of Extinction is an endless barrage of nonsense and noise.
  25. Yves Saint Laurent
    Scenes between YSL and rock-steady lover Pierre Bergé (Guillaume Gallienne) spark, but the film stays too reverent to truly turn heads.
  26. Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger
    With minimal conspiratorial bluster, Berlinger unmasks the compliant faces of evil.
  27. The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz
    Swartz’s ex-girlfriend adds heart when she tearfully recalls first seeing the ”end date” on his Wikipedia page.
  28. La Bare
    Like the guys who gyrate on La Bare’s stage every night, the movie is luggish, good-hearted, and a little bit sad.
  29. They Came Together
    Most of the jokes land bluntly – ”This is a cliché!” – but tight pacing and a killer cast, which also includes Ed Helms and Christopher Meloni, make up for the inconsistent gags.
  30. Snowpiercer
    Snowpiercer sucks you into its strange, brave new world so completely, it leaves you with the all-too-rare sensation that you've just witnessed something you've never seen before...and need to see again.
