  1. Inside Out
    These World Wrestling Entertainment-produced movies are a world unto themselves: Cliché-ridden B-flicks anchored by monstrously huge grapplers giving acting their all.
  2. Pandorum
    The movie soon turns into only a production-designed run-and-chase game, and our curiosity about what happened to Earth and the crew is teased and teased again until the movie’s big letdown of a reveal.
  3. Old Dogs
    Travolta, who delivers an impressively enthusiastic performance, seems to have no idea that he's stuck in one of the year's worst movies. The perpetually pained expression on Williams' face, however, suggests he knows otherwise.
  4. The Sitter
    The Sitter is not only an atrocious shout-out to bad '80s comedies, it's also the kind of movie Jonah Hill should look at as a crass blast from his past.
  5. The Raven
    This wannabe Sherlockian thriller is like a night spent at Madame Tussauds, watching mannequins strangle other mannequins.
  6. Hotel Noir
    It's hard to know whether Sebastian Gutierrez is imitating or satirizing the hard-boiled noirs of Hollywood's past, but either way it feels like a botched attempt.
  7. Young & Beautiful
    All we’re left with is the sight of older men hiring a gorgeous young woman to take her clothes off and fulfill their desires. If nothing else, Ozon does leave us wondering whether he intended such an uncomfortable parallel between life and art.
  8. Hamlet
    This Canadian Hamlet, completed years ago, is as airless as a tomb.
  9. Fired Up!
    Tries waaay too hard, just like its motormouth jock-snark heroes.
  10. The Spy Next Door
    The movie even has the nerve to start with a montage of moments from his better films, a bad idea that sets off an escalating tumble downhill.
  11. Cold Comes the Night
    Cranston, in a fake beard and dark glasses, seems to be enjoying his goofy act. Trouble is, this isn’t the kind of movie in which goofy earns goodwill.
  12. The Time Traveler's Wife
    The cozy sentimentality in The Time Traveler's Wife is the only thing that grounds it. Mostly it's just featherheaded.
  13. Victor Frankenstein
    This un-terrifying film tries to find an interesting twist on the classic Frankenstein tale, but horrifically fails.
  14. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
    An epic example of muddled storytelling, chintzy excitement and scatter-brained execution.
  15. Wish Upon
    Wish Upon is dull because it never goes far enough to truly scare anyone.
  16. Sarah Palin: You Betcha!
    Broomfield's point that Palin followers threaten her enemies, though, is worthy of a different documentary - perhaps one about American fanaticism.
  17. The Love Guru
    An atrocious, idiotic 88 minutes of anti-entertainment. To borrow word-shtick from the guru Pitka, it's AWFUL as in, "Anyone Watching Feels, Um, Loser-ish."
  18. Bunraku
    It should surprise no one that visually quirky, graphic-novelish, pulp-noir action flicks rarely come through the sausage machine intact.

    Killing Them Safely
    This feels like a documentary about legal cases against TASER, not a documentary on the Taser.
  20. Mirror Mirror
    "Dopey" is too good a word for it.
  21. Jesus Henry Christ
    It winds up just being annoying.
    • 48 Metascore

    Ted 2
    Ted 2 is the equivalent of a middle school bully. It's not as funny as it thinks it is. Its penchant for casual cruelty masks a hollow soul. And it will be totally forgotten once we move onto bigger and better things.
  23. Epic
    Even young would-be botanists will find this charmless animated adventure as exciting as watching grass grow.
  24. Endless Love
    If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day date, this version is probably a better choice than the uncomfortably swoony original would have been. You might be bored, but at least you won’t be embarrassed.
  25. The Angry Birds Movie
    The Angry Birds Movie is just fowl.
  26. Winter's Tale
    The whole movie hinges on the allegedly miraculous romance between Beverly and Peter, but Goldsman’s leads are distractingly mismatched and lack even a spark of chemistry.
  27. The M Word
    There are some nice moments of camaraderie, as Feldman and Imperioli do their laid-back thing and Fisher is feisty and warmhearted. Still, the let’s-all-talk-at-once actorliness wears thin. It’s just not worth the mood swings.
  28. Stephen King’s A Good Marriage
    This one has a screenplay by Stephen King, adapting his own short story. Unfortunately, that can’t save this low-budget thriller.
  29. Lovely, Still
    While all four leads deserve better, it's especially galling to see Burstyn - still so lovely - wasting her time and talents on a film with so little wisdom to share.
  30. Expired
    The performances are expert, but can't make up for a flat script and direction. Unless you, like Claire, are a glutton for punishment, we suggest you choose nothing over something.
