  1. Down and Out with the Dolls
    A great idea that never gets off the ground.
  2. Fighting Tommy Riley
    The sort of slick-looking indie that plays well at film festivals, this heavy-handed boxing drama is really just a flyweight bulked up on cliches and false sentimentality.
  3. Corky Romano
    The writing, directing and acting are all so sketchy, it's a mystery that Kattan didn't just try out this material the way he should have -- in a three-minute sketch.
  4. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
    Competent in the extreme, the talented Jolie would make a great Jane Bond. But mired in this joyless orgy of preposterousness, her biggest challenge is simply keeping a straight face.
  5. Life or Something Like It
    The movie creaks and groans, weighed down by clichés.

  6. Beyond Borders
    Of this much I'm sure: It's an awful movie.
  7. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
    Takes the worst and most annoying elements of the first film and treats them like grand assets.
  8. Pretty Persuasion
    Sets out to be a social critique but settles for smug disdain.
  9. Dreamcatcher
    Dreamcatcher has no business being this bad.
  10. Silk
    By the end of Francois Gerard's plodding, uninvolving melodrama, his boredom will have nothing on yours.
  11. White Chicks
    We're bombarded by witless racial clichés, stale sexism and homophobia and enthusiastic celebrations of extreme flatulence.
  12. Lords of Dogtown
    A tormented dramatization of the exact same events, and it's as bad as the earlier film ("Dogtown and Z-Boys") was good.
  13. MVP: Most Valuable Primate
    Neither chimps nor children should be subjected to such shabby mediocrity.
  14. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    The characters are boring, the violence generic, the suspense nonexistent.
  15. Undiscovered
    On paper, the "rising stars" of Meiert Avis' low-flying romantic comedy Undiscovered are Steven Strait and Pell James, but the real star is Tyson the Skateboarding Dog.
  16. Elizabethtown
    Crowe was going for something magical in all this, but the film is so affected and mannered, so preciously in love with itself, that it's painful to watch. Scenes go on and on, and when you think the movie's over, it goes on and on some more.
  17. Stay Alive
    There's a fascinating and terrifying story to be told about Elizabeth Bathory, the dramatically depraved 17th century sadist known as the Blood Countess.....This ain't it.
  18. Spun
    Both a madcap comedy and a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug abuse. But it's not funny or smart enough to work as either one, let alone to strike a balance.
  19. Unaccompanied Minors
    A Christmas headache looking for an audience.
  20. Life as a House
    Kline will break your heart, while the rest of the movie will just make you sick.
  21. Jackpot
    Shows that there's a limit to how much mileage one can get from offbeat, creepy and symbiotic.
  22. When Brendan Met Trudy
    Trudy is really the only character with the "Barrytown" zest, and Montgomery throws herself into the role with unselfconscious abandon. She makes the screen crackle with energy.
  23. Turn It Up
    Normally, I'd recommend a movie like this only to diehard fans. But even they may want to wait until it hits cable.
  24. Eragon
    Turns out to be as heavy and earthbound as an injured dragon.
  25. Zhou Yu de huo che
    A ticket to this movie is a season's pass on that train - and you must complete every ride.
  26. My Mother
    This tale of disaffected sexual depravity is practically a parody of the worst of French filmmaking.
  27. Massoud, the Afghan
    A weak documentary. There's very little here to demonstrate the personality and leadership qualities that made Massoud both a legend and a martyr. Raw, sloppily edited, unfocused and without any sense of scale, it's personal journalism with its heart in the right place, and that's about it.
  28. Jeepers Creepers II
    There are some nicely gory touches for genre connoisseurs...But JC2 lacks the all-important character development we got in the first installment.
  29. The Tenants
    Unremittingly bleak and hopelessly outdated parable of American race relations.
  30. November
    Convoluted and unsatisfying psychological drama.
