  1. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
    It never stops for a minute, yet it never goes anywhere. And much as it promises to take you to a thousand planets, it can’t find one sign of intelligent life.
  2. The Day
    Towards the end, you might find yourself thinking, "Well, this could have been worse." And you'll mean it as a compliment.
  3. You're Not You
    The sort of movie that’s not good enough to embrace, but not quite bad enough to dismiss.
  4. Horns
    Alexandre Aja’s supernatural thriller Horns isn’t an entirely successful movie. But with a committed Daniel Radcliffe in the lead, it’s a consistently intriguing one.
  5. Sangre De Mi Sangre
    The movie shows the city as both an intimidating and enticing place for new arrivals, but ultimately gets bogged down in the cliched split destinies and intentions of its main characters.
  6. Jennifer's Body
    Words and story are still the lifeblood of a movie, and Jennifer's Body is filled like a Twinkie with half-fleshed-out ideas.
  7. POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
    Only the extremely naive will be shocked, shocked by director Morgan Spurlock's dissection of product placement in movies.
  8. Hitler's Children
    It's always dispiriting to see an ideal subject given shallow treatment, and one spends most of this documentary wishing a more experienced director had made it.
  9. Jimmy P.
    Intellectually intriguing but sadly dull biopic.
  10. Rashevski's Tango
    The central metaphor of dance, though, is forced, a standard-issue cliché about dancing away problems.
  11. Tom at the Farm
    The movie can’t decide if it’s a drama about homophobia, a horror-tinged thriller or psychological surrealism. The cross-pollination makes for some nice-looking scenes. Ultimately, though, there’s a crop failure.
  12. Step Up To The Plate
    While foodies are sure to feel sated by the gastronomic splendors of Paul Lacoste's debut documentary, others may walk out with a strange sense of emptiness.
  13. Restless
    This overly twee, morbidly cute romance initially digs up the ageless "Harold and Maude" as a touchstone before it slips the coils of watchability.
  14. Machine Gun Preacher
    The result is far too high-and-mighty to truly be moving.
  15. When Harry Tries to Marry
    This sweet if limited film has an agreeable attitude.
  16. Down Terrace
    Strong performances and understated cinematography help balance the self-conscious editing, but ultimately the entire affair feels false.
  17. The Roommate
    If ever a thriller were to inspire a collective "eh," it's got to be The Roommate. It's not a good movie, by any means, but it's also not bad enough to have fun hating on.
  18. The Magnificent Seven
    Instead of ever getting truly "Magnificent," these multicultural gunslingers remain largely a meh seven.
  19. Liberal Arts
    Liberal Arts is at its most nauseating when we hear Jesse and Zibby read their oh-so-self-aware love letters.
  20. Battlefield America
    Houston does his best with an unlikable character, and the young actors are appealing enough to keep us watching. The movie itself, however, is a mess.
  21. The Romantics
    It's a shame, but perhaps no surprise, that Niederhoffer was unable to transfer her astute vision to the big screen.
  22. Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?
    After a clever start, Spurlock turns self-serious, aiming to teach us something about our enemies and ourselves.
  23. X Games 3D: The Movie
    Unfocused and underwhelming.
  24. The Devil's Double
    Dominic Cooper gives a riveting dual performance in The Devil's Double, but the movie is a relentless one-note drama that loses its momentum halfway through.
  25. Step Up Revolution
    Anyway. Here's what matters: The dance scenes are great. While no more revolutionary than the "political" plotline, the flash-mob concept does allow for more creative choreography than this series has seen in some time.
  26. Metro
    A formula movie that is way beneath Murphy's talents.[17 Jan 1997, p.45]

  27. Albert Nobbs
    Close and McTeer, an evenly matched odd-couple pairing, keep it real. They do the heavy lifting, and are utterly enchanting, whether in bonnets or boots.
  28. The Last Stand
    The script is a mess, built on lazy clichés, stilted jokes and easy payoffs. What the movie does have, though, is enthusiasm.
  29. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
    Boredom is the very basis of this sequel, at least at the beginning.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Pitch Perfect 2
    Pitch Perfect 2 follows the same template as part one, but it’s unmemorable.
