  1. Central Intelligence
    Even the obligatory blooper reel after the film isn’t as funny as it should be.
  2. The Phenom
    If there’s an MVP, it’s Simmons. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” alum tosses off another subdued performance, a good counterpart to Hawke’s more over-the-top coiled rage.
  3. Finding Dory
    DeGeneres and company make Finding Dory memorable.
  4. Approaching the Unknown
    Approaching the Unknown would be more of a solid premise if it were not touching down so close to last year's "The Martian," with its similar themes, bigger effects budget and superior script.
  5. Warcraft
    This is not "Lord of the Rings." It's barely "Dungeons & Dragons."
  6. The Conjuring 2
    Wan's secret weapons are clearly Wilson and Farmiga, both such good actors they're able to sell the audience on everything the Warrens experience. The duo also does a great job selling the romantic bond between the Warrens, which helps you fall in love with them as much as you end up falling for the entire Hodgson family.
  7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
    Does its best to include as much fan fodder as it does kiddie fare with the distinct personalities of the four Turtles — "Mikey," "Leo," "Raph" and "Donnie" — faithful enough to previous incarnations that both should be happier with the sequel over its predecessor.
  8. Me Before You
    The film belongs to Clarke. Her warm and winning star turn lifts this checklist chick flick.
  9. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
    Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is a seriously ridiculous put-on. And in this summer of overheated special-effects movies, it’s a cool blast of fresh air.
  10. Alice Through the Looking Glass
    Hugely expensive and extravagantly stupid, Alice Through the Looking Glass is just one more silly Hollywood mashup, an innocent fantasy morphed into a noisy would-be blockbuster.

    Weiner
    It never ever falls into painting him as a victim of anything but his own hubris, neurosis and psycho-sexual issues. Never once do we hear Weiner complain about anything except how easy it is for headline writers to make fun of his name. He knows who got him into all this trouble — himself — which is also refreshing to watch.
  12. Manhattan Night
    Writer and director Brian DeCubellis bathes the screen in dark shadows and provides fluid pacing. If you like your entertainment pulpy — and don’t mind swallowing cliches along the way — this “Night” is worth a look.
  13. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
    With the added layer of humor that comes with switching genders, Neighbors 2 ends up offering even more laughs than the original movie.
  14. The Angry Birds Movie
    The Angry Birds Movie is just fowl.
  15. The Nice Guys
    As summer popcorn-style entertainment, The Nice Guys gets the job done.
  16. The Lobster
    The Lobster is a love story for the unloved. Dark-hearted and brutally sour - and imaginative, and sometimes very funny - it's set in an alternative world where relationships are mandatory.
  17. Money Monster
    Director Jodie Foster's Money Monster runs a trim 98 minutes, but it's still not quite worth the investment.
  18. The Darkness
    The Darkness offers very few new scares, mainly because it's so haunted by the ghosts of far better horror movies.
  19. Last Days in the Desert
    Moviegoers don’t get much to chew on either, besides a decent performance by Ewan McGregor as both Jesus and a demon, plus some OMG-worthy landscapes.
  20. X-Men: Apocalypse
    Once again, it's Evan Peters' Quicksilver who steals the movie whenever we see his powers in action, maybe because they've found a unique way to showcase them. There's even a fun but unnecessary tangent involving another popular "X-Men" character.
  21. Being Charlie
    To be fair, Being Charlie has some action and a few good jokes. It's not completely unwatchable. It's certainly better than Reiner's last few awful movies.
  22. Captain America: Civil War
    Sometimes, more is less. Although it’s called Captain America: Civil War, the latest Marvel movie is actually a supersized “Avengers” picture -- overstuffed to bursting.
  23. Mother's Day
    A Mother’s Day movie full of flat jokes, reheated clichés and two hours spent staring at your watch.
  24. Keanu
    Maybe Keanu would have been stronger in the hands of a more experienced director — they brought Peter Atencio over from their show — but Key and Peele know how to deliver the laughs and killer chemistry.
  25. Special Correspondents
    Some viewers may be surprised by how good Bana is doing comedy. Same with Farmiga, but that allows Gervais to leave some of the heavier lifting as far as acting to his co-stars. Gervais has again done a solid job writing and directing his own material.
  26. Dough
    Dough should have been more easily digestible; the setup is sure to appeal to occasional stoners and Jewish foodies.
  27. The Family Fang
    The Family Fang has a nasty little bite to it — and thank heavens for that.
  28. The Meddler
    It is sweet, and funny and quietly upbeat. Take a chance on it — and take your mom.
  29. Nina
    This Simone film hits all the wrong notes early. What is it trying to say about this enraged, iconic singer? Why does it want to say it? Since screenwriter Cynthia Mort apparently never asked those questions, director Cynthia Mort can't offer any answers.
  30. A Hologram for the King
    Much like the technology in the title, "A Hologram for the King" flickers in and out of focus — sharp at times, but ultimately lacking resolution.
