  1. Skyline
    It's finally here: The most boring alien-invasion movie ever.
  2. Not Forgotten
    None of it makes any sense, but it is just nutty enough to provide a few (entirely unintended) laughs.
  3. Scary Movie 5
    Luckily, folks like Snoop and good sports like Sheen and, yes, Lohan, break up the monotony. Until, like an undead beastie, the boredom and dumb jokes come roaring back.
  4. Just Before I Go
    The former “Friends” star clearly wanted something special, but sadly the result is ... this.
  5. Beyond the Black Rainbow
    Add two more stars here if zoning out to weirdo-dreamy, '80s public-access TV with a synthesizer soundtrack is your idea of midnight fun. Because this ambitious, but not uninteresting, failure has that in its DNA.
  6. Tracers
    True, the energy level is high, and there are some pretty faces and toned bodies. But Tracers cannot live by pecs appeal alone. And pretty soon, Lautner won’t be able to, either.
  7. The Samaritan
    The most charitable approach to this unfortunate diversion in Jackson's career would be to pretend it never happened. Now, who wants to go see "The Avengers" again?
  8. Nanny McPhee Returns
    This dour, hyperactive family film is joyless, overly busy and starchy.
  9. What to Expect When You're Expecting
    What you don't expect is how bad almost all of it is.
  10. Little Boy
    Somewhere amid the storytelling rubble in Little Boy there’s a decent message against racial prejudice. But it’s suffocated beneath a hokey premise and hopelessly square execution.
  11. Love, Wedding, Marriage
    What's most baffling is that such a canny actor is so unable to direct his own cast.
  12. Saw V
    This year's installment is as disappointing as a Halloween bag filled with nothing but raisins.
  13. Miss March
    It takes a really bad stupid comedy to make you appreciate well-done stupid comedies. And boy is Miss March a stupid comedy.
  14. Sleeping Beauty
    Though Julia Leigh's surprisingly dull debut is meant to present the mysteries of a troubled young woman, you're more likely to wonder why its star, Emily Browning, is drawn to such demeaning roles.
  15. The Ministers
    Does John Leguizamo need a better manager, or does he just have terrible taste in scripts? Because aside from voicing the "Ice Age" movies, he wastes too much time on misfires like this one.
  16. Love and Honor
    Hemsworth has presence, but he also represents this film’s biggest problem: It feels like a bunch of good-looking kids putting on a show.
  17. Get Hard
    Get Hard isn’t edgy enough to be offensive or witty enough to be challenging. It’s just dumb.
  18. From Paris with Love
    This sock-it-to-'em souffle falls very quickly, unless watching Travolta trying on another faux-hip look is considered fun.

    Freedom
    It’s a restrained performance, but director Peter Cousens should have unleashed some of the “Jerry Maguire” Oscar-winner’s energy for this solemn tale.
  20. Irrational Man
    Irrational Man plays, like so much of Woody Allen’s work over the past 20 years, like a bad Woody Allen parody.
  21. Saw VI
    One we wish we hadn't seen
    • 24 Metascore

    Dawn Patrol
    Dawn Patrol has a lot on its plate and manages to drop it all. The movie deals with themes of xenophobia, murder, revenge and forgiveness, and not one aspect is handled with anything approaching competence. What a dud.
  23. The Forger
    Travolta’s face looks immobile, while Plummer and Jennifer Ehle, as Cutter’s estranged, strung-out wife, look out of place. Sheridan (“The Tree of Life”), though, does seems comfortable in a movie where the colors blur sloppily.
  24. Barely Lethal
    This mashup of a teenage assassin lark and high school misfit comedy misses the chance to add a supercool heroine to pop culture.
  25. Total Recall (2012)
    There's something sadly poetic about a movie dealing with disappearing memories that vanishes from your mind while you watch it.
  26. Jessabelle
    There are few scares here, but plenty of mild grossness. The absurd ending ties up the mystery in a way that’s sure to annoy both supernaturalists and realists.
  27. Homefront
    A disappointing mess of a genre flick.
  28. Eagle Eye
    See, everyone complains about humans in movies but no one does anything about it, so it fell to Eagle Eye to make everything laughably, ridiculously fake.
  29. Reclaim
    There are no twists or even surprises, except the final realization that director Alan White is taking his culturally clueless, ineptly shot B-movie totally seriously. Judging from the uniformly underwhelming performances, he’s the only one.
  30. Fugly!
    John Leguizamo can do so much better than this weak rom-com, in which men are morons and women are either neurotic or nasty.
