  1. The Divergent Series: Allegiant
    The only thing that's revolting is how dull the series has gotten.
  2. The Strip
    If one of your non-filmmaker friends watched "Office Space" a few too many times, this is probably the movie he'd make.
  3. The Possession
    Slick direction and a strong central turn from Jeffrey Dean Morgan will keep you watching, if rarely from the edge of your seat.
  4. Chaos Theory
    The kind of movie designed more for a has-been than a potential leading man, this slapdash dramatic comedy fits the now-established pattern perfectly: Your (Ryan Reynolds) committed performance is the sole reason to see it.
  5. Sukiyaki Western Django
    A lightweight goof that feels a little dashed-off.
  6. Snitch
    Snitch is like watching an elephant on ice: inelegant, but you admire the effort.
  7. Just Go with It
    A witless rom-com that is only marginally watchable.

    Innocence
    Sadly, the movie is weakly paced and sinister only when Pamela coos oh-so-sympathetically in people’s ears.
  9. London Boulevard
    Had the film stood still more often, its stylish gambit would have worked better.
  10. The Benefactor
    Old silver-fox Gere looks great. He’s almost embarrassingly charming — which is the point — but there’s not much else here.
  11. Touching Home
    There's a fine line between labor of love and vanity project, and this blandly earnest tale straddles it.
  12. We Are What We Are
    This gruesome, allegorical drama is dark and unsettling, but not so original that it begs to be let in.
  13. 7 Minutes
    Well, that was the longest seven minutes of my life. An uninspired tale of a small-town robbery gone wrong, 7 Minutes abounds in clichés.
  14. Stolen
    No one is able to make much of the disposable script, but Hamm is so limited by the period trappings that it seems as if he simply wandered onto the wrong set.
  15. American Reunion
    What keeps the movie afloat, though, is Seann William Scott as Steve Stifler.
  16. Batkid Begins
    Scott’s story is inspiring, as is the way everyone pitches in, from the police to the San Francisco Giants to Hollywood special effects geniuses to President Obama. But as a movie, this is like watching an expanded local news segment.
  17. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
    Unfortunately, its present-day tale, involving a career woman seeking to mend her 20-year bond with a girlfriend injured in an accident, is lax and clunky, and its story-within-a-story - a tale of two laotong, or soul sisters, in oppressive mid-1800s China - is gorgeous but simplistic.
  18. Whatever Works
    While the film is slightly better than similar efforts Allen made between the ’90s and his recent time in Europe, it’s both too broad and too shallow.
  19. Central Intelligence
    Even the obligatory blooper reel after the film isn’t as funny as it should be.
  20. The Last Rites of Joe May
    Unfortunately, director Joe Maggio's film, despite showing real promise and an ear for threats delivered with a smile, runs out of gas.
  21. G.I. Joe: Retaliation
    The G.I. Joe team is back, and most of their sophomore movie adventure, G.I. Joe Retaliation, is as bland as their name and as subtle as an exploding tank.
  22. Deadfall
    If Deadfall had more life, it might have been about more than just its wannabe edge. Ruzowitzky, whose 2007 film "The Counterfeiters" won a Best Foreign Film Oscar, understands the movie's simple plan. But it nonetheless puts us into a big sleep.
  23. Mulholland Falls
    Nolte does his standard lovable-lug routine with his usual ease and assurance, though a more daring producer might have allowed Madsen, stranded again in a second-banana role, to step up to the lead. This crafty, insinuating actor has been ready for his closeup for a while now. Can't somebody make him a star? [26 Apr 1996, p.47]

  24. Mud
    Stripped of his former pretty-boy image, the Texas-born actor is snarly and gnarled, and understands what Nichols is aiming for. That’s crucial, as Mud needs something to stick to.
  25. Immigration Tango
    A comedy with two left feet, Immigration Tango does have enthusiasm on its side. But it trips up under the awkward efforts of all involved.
  26. Red Hook Summer
    We have little to hang onto once the film falls apart. Between the ongoing sermonizing and that final, sharp shock - which is gravely mishandled - we feel cowed into submission, rather than led towards enlightenment.
  27. La mission
    The earnest attempt at family drama doesn't benefit from the abundance of movie-of-the-week cliches.
  28. Rubberneck
    The film works better as an uncomfortable character drama than as a murky family mystery, which Karpovsky deepens with some psychobabble. Still, a nicely sinister and shuddersome effort.
  29. The Big Shot-Caller
    Too many threads are woven together here, but occasionally, it just connects.
  30. Glee: The 3D Concert Movie
    A lot of gleeful audience members are interviewed in Glee: The 3-D Concert Experience, though the source of their happiness could be a lot of things.
