  1. Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
    For piquing kids’ interest in history and nature, you could do worse than this goofy Ben Stiller franchise. But its third installment is more meh than manic, too reliant on wide shots of the ragtag Museum of Natural History cohorts striding down corridors. You get the feeling returning director Shawn Levy is ready to hang it up.
  2. He's Just Not That Into You
    Like the recent "Sex and the City" movie, this spinoff not so subtly tries to have its cake and eat it by ALSO suggesting that a woman is nothing without a man.
  3. The Matrix Revolutions
    This (hopefully) final chapter's interminable first hour...showcases some of the clunkiest dialogue and wooden acting since the most recent "Star Wars" movies.
  4. Noma: My Perfect Storm
    I’ve never seen a restaurant documentary that seemed less interested in showing the joy of food.
  5. In the Land of Women
    In the Land of Women is one of those films informed by intimate personal experience - the experience of seeing "Garden State."
  6. In the Heart of the Sea
    Presenting a “true” adventure about a giant whale that supposedly inspired “Moby-Dick” raises tsunami-high expectations about In the Heart of the Sea that are crushed as thoroughly as if star Chris Hemsworth had brought down his “Thor” hammer on the entire enterprise.
  7. Jennifer's Body
    The “Transformers” hottie undergoes her very own transformation here, thanks to satanic possession.
  8. Bad Teacher
    Most of the laughs are collected by Lucy Punch as chirpy, borderline-psychotic teacher named Squirrel.
  9. The Little Traitor
    Alfred Molina gives a warm and engaging performance as an occupying British soldier.
  10. Jimpa
    The overlong and too-steady movie tries to say so much — about the struggles of being gay in the ‘80s, gender identity, nontraditional relationship structures — that it all comes off as white noise. Albeit white noise that has a borderline oppressive desire to make us cry.
  11. Frankie & Alice
    Halle Berry’s latest vehicle is old-fashioned as a leisure suit, but better-looking and a lot more fun.
  12. Fat Girls
    Big-Hearted and often quite funny if crudely made, Fat Girls cleverly subverts the clichés of high school comedies to serve an autobiographical story about an overweight gay teen in a small Texas town.
  13. Lions for Lambs
    I went to a wartime thriller, but then a Poli Sci 101 seminar broke out.
  14. Lies
    When all is said and done, Lies is just good, dirty fun.

    Bittersweet Motel
    Fans will love this quick flick by director Todd Phillips, but it better serves as an introduction for the uninitiated.

  16. By Hook or by Crook
    Has a promising start. But it quickly becomes tiresome and cliché-ridden - not to mention depressing and pointless.
  17. Heartbreakers
    Despite its talented and/or attractive cast, Heartbreakers is an ugly movie: The kind that makes you feel slightly soiled afterwards.
    • New York Post
  18. Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde
    It's so gosh-darned darling it almost turns your stomach.
  19. Ladder 49
    Tedious and obnoxiously manipulative.
  20. Flight of the Phoenix
    This new low-octane version is hardly going to make anyone forget Robert Aldrich's semi-classic, testosterone-laden original starring Jimmy Stewart.
  21. The Architect
    Though nothing much happens, all of the actors get to do lots of teary close-ups.
  22. Burlesque
    Those looking for another "Showgirls" will be disappointed - writer-director Steve Antin avoids the seamy side of the business, and the same-sex flirtation is mostly between guys.
  23. A Cure for Wellness
    Mia Goth is as fine a name as can be imagined for the actress playing a creepy, hollow waif in A Cure for Wellness, and her name is practically a tag line for this fantastically eerie movie: “Me a Gothic!”
  24. Restless
    Unlike Van Sant's grittier, less sentimental recent small films, it's twee enough to make your teeth ache. It's the director's biggest miscalculation since "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" 18 years ago.
  25. Flyboys
    The computer-generated flying effects are the only reason to see the movie, but at some point somebody left the computer on too long, so it went ahead and spat out the script.
  26. The Dressmaker
    "The Titanic" is now the second-biggest disaster Kate Winslet has ever been associated with. Her new one, The Dressmaker, is like some hellborn alloy of film noir, campy melodrama, “High Plains Drifter” and the Darwin Awards for people who die in moronic accidents.
  27. Swing Vote
    Brain-dead political satire/tear-jerker.
  28. Choke
    CHOKE tries to be dirty but manages merely to be dingy.
  29. Lisa Frankenstein
    Not a bad idea — and one that already worked out pretty well for John Hughes’ “Weird Science” in 1985. But here it’s a single-joke skit that’s too self-aware to be distinctively funny, freaky or thrilling.
  30. Halloween Ends
    What I love about Green’s style is he has both a sense of the grand — he gives Michael’s mask the cinematic weight of Moses’ Ten Commandments slabs — and the goofy.
