  1. Autumn in New York
    Manages to jerk more than a few tears at all the right moments.
  2. Chelsea Walls
    The actor's directorial debut is a lugubriously poetic homage to the famed Chelsea Hotel, which is to New York's artistic and beatnik past what Ellis Island is to the story of American immigration.
  3. The Condemned
    The film is smugly hypocritical at every turn, loudly preaching the evils of sick voyeurism while encouraging its audience to cheer every gruesome death. It's not only morally bankrupt but, between the ludicrous script and Z-level acting, scrapes the bottom of the entertainment barrel, too.
  4. Sunset Strip
    Less a movie than a very expensive display of Afro wigs and macrame wall hangings.
  5. Get Carter
    The result is a throwaway story hidden beneath a messy jumble of weird camera angles, worthless editing tricks and an ill-placed, obnoxious score.

  6. King's Ransom
    Dumber than the worst UPN sitcom.
  7. The Benchwarmers
    The humor is infantile at best (projectile vomiting and bathroom jokes) and meanspirited at worst (midgets and gays, look out).
  8. I Know Who Killed Me
    The truth is, no review could really do justice to the monumental trashiness of this mess; it really has to be seen to be believed. Although if Lohan is lucky, no one will bother.
  9. Wolf Creek
    Just because Dimension considered Greg McLean's nasty exploitation flick worthy of their time and money doesn't mean it deserves yours.
  10. Never Die Alone
    Racist, misogynistic and breath­takingly cynical, Ernest Dickerson's clichéd crime drama Never Die Alone shamelessly exploits the degrada­tion of its irredeemable characters.
  11. State Property
    The cinematic equivalent of a gangsta rap song, State Property is little more than a marketing tool for Roc-A-Fella Records.
  12. Crank
    Every movie's gotta have a gimmick, and Crank's is that it has an excellent shot at ending 2006 as the worst film of the year.
  13. Little Man
    Well, it was bound to happen: The Wayans brothers have made a movie that's even more two-dimensional than a cartoon.
  14. Kickin It Old Skool
    As appealing as acid-washed jeans, Kickin' It Old Skool exists solely to provide employment for aggressively abrasive comic actor Jamie Kennedy.
  15. Hey, Happy!
    With its amateurish performances and sloppy script, Hey, Happy! has the homemade feel of a cult movie, but very little of the charm.
  16. Did You Hear About the Morgans?
    The loping pace, inconsistent tone and lack of imagination are all deadly.
  17. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
    There's a way to do this kind of thing (Just witness Hasbro's other toy-turned-dumb movie franchise, "Transformers"). G.I. Joe, though, hasn't got a kung fu-grip on what it is.
  18. Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star
    This god-awful, unfunny, stinkingly putrid sketch-comic movie has exactly one snicker-worthy moment, involving Kevin Nealon and a stolen grape. But watching the rest of it will make you whine.
  19. Scarlet Diva
    Italian actress, writer and director Asia Argento's performance in the godawful Scarlet Diva is one of those bawl, spit, scream and vomit exhibitions that provoke admiring applause in acting classes and great gales of laughter in theaters.
  20. The Watch
    Every summer needs a super-turkey. So barring anything in the next 30 days that's the second coming of "Howard the Duck," the witless, completely terrible "comedy" now called The Watch should win hands-down.
  21. Breaking Point
    Both visually and emotionally ugly from start to finish, this empty crime thriller doesn't have a moment that's genuinely worth watching.
  22. Nymphomaniac: Volume II
    Here we go again. Danish director Lars von Trier has pumped out Nymphomaniac: Vol II just a few weeks after “Vol. I” came out. And the results are the same: zero stars.
  23. Dischord
    The only good thing about this on-the-fly, low-budget quickie is its Cape Cod setting and the in-focus cinematography of Ernst Kubitza. Very pretty. Otherwise, it is a speechifying bore.
  24. Everly
    What on earth is Salma Hayek doing starring in this exploitative, junky piece of torture trash?
  25. Mr. Smith Gets a Hustler
    This will qualify as a spoiler only for those who have never seen a really bad movie before.
  26. Whipped
    Profoundly depressing.
  27. Oz the Great and Powerful
    Don’t be fooled by the smoke and mirrors. There is nothing here that is great, or powerful. Worst of all, there’s nothing here that even feels like Oz.
  28. Ender's Game
    Ender’s Game, the book, may have a special place in pop-lit. The movie, however, is as special as a migraine.
  29. Intruders
    Hollowface, like Intruders (which ought to be just the singular "Intruder," as Hollowface works solo), is all about empty scares. Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo does include perhaps the most half-hearted exorcism ever filmed, which only seems fitting.
  30. Left Behind
    This failed epic — really, an epic failure — would barely be noticed, were it not for former Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage taking on a “Sharknado”-quality remake of a Kirk Cameron movie.
