  1. Extraordinary Measures
    Basically “Lorenzo’s Oil” without the earlier film’s visual flair.
  2. Reminiscence
    This wannabe works oh so hard to be a contemporary detective noir, with its shadows, damsel in distress and brooding narration. But it never finds the suspense or sensuality of that genre.
  3. The Over the Hill Band
    It's also sugary and has a silly tear-jerker ending. But I found myself laughing at the film's gentle humor, anyway.
  4. Free Zone
    The three women deliver solid performances, but the film is diluted by the use of flashbacks superimposed over present-time scenes. The result is visual chaos.
  5. The Trench
    There isn't a line you haven't heard or a stock character you haven't encountered before.

  6. Hollywoodland
    They'll say that this year's two Superman pictures could not be more different, but they'll be wrong: Like "Superman Returns," Hollywoodland is laden with atmosphere but moves like it has lead in its tights.
  7. Uncharted
    Uncharted, you say? That’s a funny title for an action-adventure movie that doesn’t stray one inch from the well-trodden path of what came before it.
  8. We Are Marshall
    Has the kind of soulful subject matter that will strike some as profoundly emotional, but it gets a flag for roughing the tear ducts. This isn't football - it's cornball.
  9. Jackpot
    Barely enough chuckles to keep from running out of gas. Yet it's the sharpest-looking movie shot so far on digital video, outdistancing even "The Anniversary Party."
  10. Drillbit Taylor
    The last time I saw this much talent in a losing cause was Super Bowl XLII. Trying to mix farce with heart, Drillbit Taylor is instead as soulful as Kenny G and as wacky as public television.
  11. The Broken Tower
    Despite Franco’s laudable desire to shake up a stodgy genre, his film could have done with more life, and less art.
  12. Man on Fire
    Where Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: Vol. 2" radiates freshness and vigor, Man on Fire feels vaguely like something left over from the 1980s, when action heroes were one-note tough guys methodically picking off baddies.
  13. Conspiracy of Silence
    Touches on issues raised in "Bad Education," but without Pedro Almodovar's flamboyant elegance.
  14. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
    This unambitious Michael Bay-produced version doesn’t seem interested in cleverness, cravenly settling for the usual generic CGI shtick.
  15. The Claim
    Aside from an uninspired script by Frank Cotrell Boyce, is that none of the assembled actors really has enough star presence to compete with the sheer spectacle.

  16. The Secret Disco Revolution
    Its priceless clips from the disco era aside, The Secret Disco Revolution laughably fails to turn Barry White and Donna Summer into the Che Guevara and Emma Goldman of the dance floor.
  17. Lucky Number Slevin
    A smug, deliberately convoluted mix tape of Tarantino, the Coen brothers, Guy Ritchie and Hitchcock with (mostly) a cast to die for, Lucky Number Slevin is great fun for, say, 20 minutes.
  18. Time Out
    Looks great but moves like molasses, is more interesting than truly involving.
  19. Happy Accidents
    This is an overlong film interesting chiefly for its performances.

  20. The Ring
    A stylish but distressingly generic and not particularly scary American remake of a phenomenally popular Japanese supernatural thriller that spawned two sequels and a TV miniseries.
  21. Stalingrad
    Unfortunately, as in Bay’s “Pearl Harbor,’’ much of the sometimes draggy 2 1/4 hours is given to clichéd inspirational drama.
  22. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
    A movie that sets out to make boy bands look silly. The conceptual error is obvious. There’s low-hanging fruit and then there’s fruit that’s already on the ground, rotting underfoot.
  23. Separate Lies
    A soufflé that begins promisingly but never quite rises.
  24. Jackass Number Two
    A buffet of dumb and degrading stunts halfway between Looney Tunes and Abu Ghraib?
  25. Father of Invention
    Make no mistake, Father of Invention is the hilarious Spacey's show all the way.
  26. The Mexican
    Gandolfini, who skillfully fleshes out what's written as a one-joke character, comes close to pilfering The Mexican from the stars. Under the circumstances, that's not a huge accomplishment.
    • New York Post
  27. Quiet Chaos
    Stick around till the end. You don't want to miss an unexpected cameo from a filmmaker I won't name. Hint: He's short, likes younger women and isn't Woody Allen.
  28. The Adjustment Bureau
    The misleading trailers for the supremely goofy The Adjustment Bureau promise action-packed sci-fi. What you actually get is a love-struck Matt Damon running for the US Senate as he's stalked by fedora-wearing angels.
  29. Monkeybone
    An occasionally delightful mess of a movie.
    • New York Post
  30. Falling
    Albert elicits good performances from her cast, but she fails to give viewers reason to care about their characters.
