  1. Ride Along
    Ride Along is a strong recommend when Hart is talking, but merely a mediocre attempt at a movie when he’s not.
  2. Last Vegas
    It certainly doesn’t hurt that Douglas, De Niro, Freeman, and Kline are just plain fun to watch together. As predictable and occasionally uncomfortable as Last Vegas can be, it’s an assured crowd-pleaser.
  3. Alan Partridge
    Not many side-splitting jokes, but a goofy glee is smeared across it all.
  4. Like Father, Like Son
    The film is starved for the kind of nuance Kore-eda wields effortlessly elsewhere. What’s left without it is something merely schematic.
  5. Parkland
    Parkland mines some interesting scenes, if not in an entirely coherent fashion, resolving as more of an interesting concept than a fully rendered and effective film.
  6. Life After Beth
    Baena takes a well-tread road, leaving behind the guts of his promising story and never capitalizing on the charms of either romance or his leading lady.
  7. The Other Woman
    The Other Woman eschews plenty of standard genre expectations to make an unexpectedly friendship-friendly film.
  8. Draft Day
    While Draft Day is a very agreeable and predictable movie, it is also very timely.
  9. Transformers: Age Of Extinction
    Either I’m getting dumber or the “Transformers” sequels are getting more coherent.
  10. The Kid
    It's solid, if ultimately uninspired, July entertainment.
  11. Get Over It
    The surprising part is how, once you get over the crude humor that the teen-movie genre demands, Get Over It is a nice little movie.
  12. Human Traffic
    Like memories of your latest high, it's all briefly amusing, mildly embarrassing, and - ultimately -- completely forgettable.
  13. The Patriot
    Gibson's performance is robbed of his customary humor, and he flounders around in search of the character's core.
  14. Big Eden
    Little of this is plausible, but it is beguiling.
  15. The Limey
    Perhaps you have to have lived through the 1960s to relate.
  16. Boiler Room
    Isn't a must-see, but it's definitely worthwhile.
  17. House on Haunted Hill
    The effects never really get ahead of the characters or the script's layered personality.
  18. Superstar
    The film's light success really comes down to Shannon, though, the exuberant "SNL" star whose alter ego actually seems more real and sympathetic here than she does in brief TV skits.
  19. Shadow of the Vampire
    If only this movie were rich enough, strong enough to be worthy of this (Dafoe's) performance.
  20. Heat
    A cool and rather detached movie...Heat generates lots of energy but gives off little light.

  21. Godzilla
    The best thing about this new Godzilla is that it spares no expense or effort to deliver big, burly IMAX-ified action... The worst thing about this new Godzilla is how that’s the best thing about it.
  22. Austenland
    Austenland is as light and airy as a cream puff, and as entirely unfulfilling. Fans of the book may find it amusing, but those looking for heartier romantic comedy fare would do well to look elsewhere.
  23. Liberty Heights
    Far from perfect, and at 122 minutes it's way too long, but after surviving an overly schematic and even hectoring first half, finally delivers the emotional goods.
  24. What Lies Beneath
    An unexpectedly adult emotional rollercoaster with some very cold and unsettling things to say about men, women, marriage, and the lies we so often tell each other.
  25. The Legend of 1900
    A magic-realistic fable whose lows soon prove as infuriating as its highs are intoxicating.

  26. One Day in September
    One Day in September does "being there" very well -- I just wish director Macdonald had spent a little more time explaining why we should want to be there in the first place.
  27. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    It's all overblown: too much music, too much cutting, too much zooming, too much computerized special effects, too much clanky symbolism that never works.
  28. Clay Pigeons
    An OK debut effort, but like so many "Pulp Fiction" wannabes, it lacks freshness and energy.
    • Film.com
  29. Anywhere But Here
    This relationship might be strong enough to carry an observational novel, but the movie feels like it's missing something.
  30. A Teacher
    Burdge is left to do much of the heavy lifting in terms of inviting the audience into her protagonist’s shaky state, and her performance boasts a remarkable emotional precision throughout — if ever there’s a reason to seek this one out, it would be for her.
