  1. Fighting
    Every so often you catch glimpses of a better movie behind the simplistic structure and formulaic plot.
  2. The Flood
    The Flood nearly sinks under the weight of its contrivances, but is barely kept afloat by its two central performances.
  3. Rabbit-Proof Fence
    Achieves the impossible by taking one of the most compelling and harrowing stories imaginable and channeling it into one of the most ordinary movies of the year.

    The Clearing
    As austere as the unflappable Mr. Redford, The Clearing is an enterprising but ultimately unsatisfying exercise that promises quite a lot, but delivers very little.
  5. Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story
    About as flat as a five day old soda.

    Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III
    While this movie comes nowhere near being as good as the original, it’s much better than Part 2. In the end, though, it’s really just another generic slasher flick with nothing beyond the Leatherface connection to recommend it to discerning fans.

    We Live in Public
    It’s a fascinating look at a really weird guy who, whether you know it or not, made a profound impact on all of our lives (because who doesn’t spend hours a day on YouTube?).

    The Fifth Element
    The story is such a cut-rate kid's sci-fi fairy tale that at one point Evil actually calls Gary Oldman on the phone (and it isn't played for laughs).
  9. Trouble Every Day
    As palpable as the atmosphere is, had the film boasted a clearer, more memorable story and performances that were a step above adequate, the creepiness wouldn't have simply lingered with the viewer, it would have gotten under their skin.
  10. Me Without You
    Not enough to hold the audience's interest, especially with such shallow simpletons as these two women in the leads.
  11. Ice Age: The Meltdown
    If you're over the age of 11, there's obviously not much reason to see this.
  12. Fracture
    Fracture may be smarter than the majority of movies out there, but it's not half as clever as it thinks it is.
  13. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
    Unfolds as a thrilling piece of entertainment, but it has a third act and ending that don’t work and shouldn’t ever work.
  14. Darkness Falls
    If you’re looking for a compelling horror flick, don’t waste your time with Darkness Falls.

    The Assassination of Richard Nixon
    The primary problem with The Assassination of Richard Nixon comes in its attempts to make drama out of a minor man's minor stab at infamy.
  16. Phantoms
    Hot Damn! A full-on gory (relatively) unpretensious horror movie!... Far better than it has any right to be.
  17. The Great Water
    Grim and frequently depressing, and despite the artistry of its framing it nonetheless is a very difficult movie to endure.
  18. Dead Envy
    Dead Envy seldom rises above its stock story plots and underdeveloped characters.
  19. Lions for Lambs
    Fortunately for Redford, Lions for Lambs is a less ham-handed effort than Sayles’ “Silver City,” but it’s a near thing.
  20. Nothing Like the Holidays
    Provides mostly entertaining spectacle.
  21. Smokin' Aces
    Spends too much time straddling the line between exuberant carnage and serious plotline when it should've gleefully backflipped into the former. Grudgingly recommended, but only if you've put your cerebral cortex in neutral for the evening.
  22. The Comebacks
    It’s mostly eighty-four minutes of puns, double entendres, and Freudian slips.
  23. Suspended Animation
    Unfortunately, despite a couple of creepy scenes here and there, director John Hancock doesn't inspire enough interest for us to want to follow Tom on his near two-hour Hardy Boys mystery. More groans than gasps for this one.
  24. Undisputed
    Falls apart with the slightest nudge -- of thought, that is.

    Tortilla Heaven
    It's hard to remain interested in everyone when they're continually shuffled around. Half-baked storylines abound.
  26. Murder by Numbers
    Doesn't necessarily make Murder by Numbers an awful film; it's certainly watchable, but it never escapes its paint-by-numbers design.
  27. Extracurricular Activities
    Unlike the films it aspires to – Heathers, Election, American Psycho or even The Voices – Lowi’s feature’s all sizzle, no steak.
  28. Superman Returns
    I wanted to like Superman Returns, but Singer and company are so concerned about doing justice to Superman’s past, they fail to generate much interest in what, if any, future the franchise might have.
  29. Terminator: Dark Fate
    It’s all been-there, done-that stuff, diluted further by forgettable characters, plot holes, and a desire by the studio to “get back on track” that transcends earnestness and becomes borderline-insufferable.

    Making Babies
    Performances alone cannot save an uninspired script. The story is not bad per se, but it’s not original or inspired and therefore Making Babies wallows in mediocrity, when it needed to make a choice between going for real laughs or have something profound to say about having children to make the journey worth taking.
