  1. Respect
    The supporting voices are sublime. Alongside Hudson are Audra McDonald, Tituss Burgess and Broadway’s Hailey Kilgore and Saycon Sengbloh. But the music, absent a believable 1960s sense of place or real concert atmosphere, doesn’t rouse so much as please, not unlike the familiar movie it’s a part of. Respect settles for being respectable.
  2. Iron Man 2
    It’s only fitfully entertaining as an all-star indie team led again by director Jon Favreau, who gets swallowed up by the same sort of overproduced overkill as “Spider Man 3.”
  3. Constantine
    A great-looking but torturously slow and often hokey cross between "The Exorcist" and "Dirty Harry."
  4. Buck
    Buck is best left to TV, where it will land soon. It's "The Horse Whisperer" that should be seen on the big screen.
  5. Horns
    As for the magical-realist horns, they make a nice bad-boy look for Radcliffe and a handy plot device, but are never really explained in a satisfactory way. They have the side effect of making anyone who sees them immediately forget them — which I suspect may be the case with this movie as well.
  6. Paradise
    Cody’s satiric knocks on Christians couldn’t be more blundering and obvious. Yet her dialogue is often funny, and the unusual three-way friendship is refreshing. Even former star Brand has learned to dial back his manic mugging, though maybe not quite enough.
  7. Rendition
    Rendition has the depth of a bumper sticker without the brevity.
  8. Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
    Among the variations of gags from the original are a threesome involving Harold, Kumar and a giant bag of marijuana.
  9. Shoot on Sight
    Starts out as a thriller inspired by that city's 2005 Tube and bus bombings but gets bogged down in a family soap opera.
  10. Happy Hour
    If only its characters weren't such stereotypes.
  11. Breathe
    For a movie called Breathe, Andy Serkis’ directorial debut is curiously airless — or maybe just quintessentially British, all stiff upper lip and light on emoting.
  12. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
    This belabored movie, which is much more serious than its predecessor and takes nearly an hour to take off, feels like it lasts a Day-O.
  13. City by the Sea
    A murky, vaguely fact-based melodrama that quickly sinks into the same swamp as such recent De Niro mistakes as "15 Minutes" and "Showtime."
  14. The Hip Hop Project
    IF you like rap, you'll probably enjoy The Hip Hop Project. I don't like rap.
  15. Attitude
    The plot of Attitude isn't exactly original and won't have you sitting on the edge of your seat. But Nilsson knows how to create a noirish mood, and some of the camera work is interesting, if pretentious.
  16. Haunter
    Teen Lisa Johnson (Abigail Breslin) is trapped in a kind of undead, unfunny “Groundhog Day,” living one particular 24 hours with her family over and over.
  17. Off-White Lies
    The performances are so uniformly good that it's a shame the characters are stuck with such a listless plot.
  18. Crying Ladies
    There aren't many surprises as the story unfolds in soap-opera fashion, with a happy ending for all concerned.
  19. Napoleon
    It’s too bad Scott could not deliver a brilliant character study of one of the world’s great military leaders — and instead settled for letting a self-indulgent Phoenix fly over the cuckoo’s nest.
  20. Jumping the Broom
    It's the snobs against the slobs at a Martha's Vine yard wedding in Jumping the Broom. Mostly, it's a tie: Both sides are equally irritating.
  21. The Independent
    There are some charming moments and some funny scenes along the way. But you end up feeling sorry for the likes of Ron Howard, Karen Black, Fred Williamson and Peter Bogdanovich, who agreed to play themselves in cameo.
  22. Lonesome Jim
    One of those indie excursions to Loserville that lasts an hour and a half but feels longer than "Roots."
  23. Masterminds
    I cracked up here and there watching this broad heist comedy, but it wasn’t laughter I felt great about. Director Jared Hess (“Napoleon Dynamite”) has always gone for geeks and oddballs, but this film mostly punches down at characters for being poor, unfashionable and stupid.
  24. I Trust You to Kill Me
    Too bad nearly half the film is about DeLuca, who has an irritating Freddie Mercury wail and is both obnoxious ("We'll play downstairs after midnight or we won't play at all") and moronic.
  25. First Snow
    It's déjà vu all over again for Aussie actor Guy Pearce, returning to motel rooms in the American Southwest to sort out metaphysical issues in the thriller First Snow, to somewhat less original effect than he did in "Memento."
  26. Tosca
    Purists will probably have a conniption at the mere idea of messing with the form, but the worst thing about Jacquot's post-modern treatment is that its incongruity wrenches you out of the story.
  27. Life
    For all its CGI showiness, the fact that Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal signed on for this splatterfest is the film’s most impressive feat.
  28. Vanishing Waves
    Toward the end, despite the wintry script and chilly acting, some emotion begins to break through. But it’s never a good sign when the art direction offers more fascination than the sex.
  29. The Elephant in the Living Room
    As my cat, Audrey, will confirm, I love animals. But I draw the line at having lions, tigers, gigantic snakes, bears and other predators as pets. Other people have different opinions.
  30. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
    Burton may give us a bland hero, a tepid love story and a muddled plot but, hey, at least he’s got a skeleton army doing battle with giant tentacle monsters at an amusement park.
