  1. Waiting for Forever
    Director James Keach's movie is so annoyingly dipsy-doodle that TV veteran Bilson, trying hard to look haunted and angsty, is boxed in.

    Strange Magic
    The eerie wood was exquisitely designed. Disastrously, what goes on there suggests a Californian mall during spring break.
  3. General Education
    As generic and forgettable as its title, this half-hearted attempt at a teen comedy feels like a term paper you might buy online: poorly written and cribbed from a million other sources.
  4. Jersey Shore Massacre
    This is a washout lacking jokes or scares.
  5. Wild Grass
    Likely to draw a range of responses. Many will be transported by its gorgeous construction and breathless emotion. Others will find it patently ridiculous.
  6. I Hate Valentine's Day
    Unfortunately, Vardalos has no one else to blame for a shockingly amateurish effort that goes from bad (her oddly insincere performance) to worse (consistently sloppy camera work) to make-it-stop (it would be an insult to television to call the script sitcomish).
  7. The Internship
    Who let an unfunny, irritatingly acted two-hour commercial for Google onto multiplex screens?
  8. Girl Most Likely
    Bening and Dillon are equally misused, and the rest of the cast is frankly just annoying. Like Imogene’s early promise, Girl Most Likely is likely to be forgotten quickly. The sooner the better.
  9. Love the Coopers
    Got your holiday turkey yet? Well, don't worry, Diane Keaton and John Goodman have one waiting for you at the movie theater.
  10. Gentlemen Broncos
    Yep, Hess wrote and directed "Dynamite," and here's proof we shouldn't have rewarded him. The hollow "Broncos" is even more cruelly disdainful, designed primarily to scorn the pathetic lives within.
  11. Haunt
    There’s lots of mixed film stock and screeches on the soundtrack (as in the credits for “Seven”), but this gets annoying, as do the predictable twists.
  12. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    "Wolverine" is silly and typical, not in spite of but because it bonds an undeveloped family feud onto the main character's renegade story.
  13. The Prince
    The Prince isn't just awful, it's depressing.
  14. Machete Kills
    Machete Kills? “Machete Bores” is more like it.

  15. The Dilemma
    This tonal mishmash cripples The Dilemma almost immediately, though there are many other speed bumps, including Vaughn's irritating, fast-talking prattle.
  16. Gamer
    What the movie needs more than anything else is a fast-forward button.
  17. Are You Here
    The compelling Draper’s the creation of “Mad Men” mastermind Matthew Weiner, the writer-director of Are You Here. Which begs the question: how could Weiner make, as his debut comedy, a movie as amateurish and off-putting as this one?
  18. How Do You Know
    Brooks' shallow screenplay feels half-finished, and he never compensates with additional guidance or directorial flair. So all his actors are forced to flail about ineffectually. Apparently, none of them read the script in advance. Because surely then they'd have known to take a pass.
  19. Happy Tears
    A cringe-inducing, self-consciously kooky indie comedy that's best enjoyed for its taste of Rip Torn.
  20. Dragon Blade
    An epic in China, it’s been trimmed here in the States. But this movie didn’t need a cut, it needed a beheading.
  21. An Invisible Sign
    Alba certainly tries her best at portraying not just a beauty but also a beautiful mind, yet very few things add up despite director Marilyn Agrelo's efforts.
  22. Space Chimps
    And then there is the most annoying animated sidekick in a long time: a bulb-headed, trying-to-be-cute glow creature called Kilowatt (Kristen Chenoweth), who sings an ear-piercing, high-pitched note when it's scared, which is often.
  23. The Nutcracker
    Do not, in fact, go at all. Because aside from the actual nutcracker, most of the crucial elements are missing from Andrei Konchalovsky's bizarre miscalculation. Magic and joy top the list.
  24. The Trouble with Bliss
    The biggest trouble with "Bliss" is the way it wastes a cast that deserves so much more.
  25. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
    The James Bond parodies and genre riffs feel at least 20 years past their prime, and most will fly right over the heads of audience members 7 and under
  26. New in Town
    A romantic comedy that's neither romantic nor funny.
  27. Affluenza
    The movie’s ennui feels like so much posing, and the Bret Easton Ellis-lite characters are monotone. It’s rich in effort, but it all comes to diminishing returns.
  28. Gigantic
    Dano is a talented actor who needs to aim higher, and it should go without saying that Deschanel can do - and should know - better.
  29. Best Worst Movie
    This fawning appreciation wears thin, despite the good-natured clowning of Alabama dentist/would-be actor George Hardy, who's like a poor man's Bruce Campbell (our apologies to Bruce Campbell).
  30. Rage
    As for our leading man, he’s clearly just messing with us now. Who else would make a revenge thriller called Rage and then sleepwalk his way through it?
