  1. Madison
    By the time this corn festival is over, you'll be crying out for the relative toughness of the average Jimmy Stewart film.
  2. Catch and Release
    The chick comedy-drama Catch and Release may look bland, but it's not. It's worse. To rise to the level of blandness, it would need to have a few gallons of Tabasco dumped into it.
  3. The Tempest
    A surprisingly unengaging and charmless fantasy from a director whose previous films ("Across the Universe," "Titus," "Frida") were, despite their other issues, never boring.
  4. True Wolf
    It's hard to get close to a wild creature, and True Wolf doesn't always manage, either.
  5. The Omen
    Director John Moore has added some creepy visuals and assembled an unusually strong cast for a horror flick.
  6. The Great Role
    A shaky effort to make a point about art triumphing over all.
  7. The Animal
    Isn't quite up to the comic standard of Rob Schneider's 1999 hit "Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo."
  8. 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.

  9. Jersey Girl
    Startlingly immature.
  10. 9 Songs
    The film accurately reminds you, if you need reminding, what it's like to have your mind hijacked by somebody's body.
  11. The Vow
    These two stars bring believable chemistry and emotion to a film that might otherwise wilt under the weight of so much melodrama.
  12. Hot Rod
    Hot Rod started to go wrong at about the time someone in casting said, "You know what? I'll bet America's just about ready for the comedy stylings of Sissy Spacek."
  13. Antebellum
    A purely entertaining, scary flick will infuriate the culturati who like their movies like they like their Atlantic articles: long and academic. However, despite some issues, this Janelle Monáe film is a breathless watch.
  14. Le Chef
    Roughly a more broadly comic French version of John Favreau’s “Chef,’’ this film stars veteran Jean Reno as a longtime celebrity chef who may lose control of his Paris restaurant because the young new CEO thinks he’s old toque.
  15. The Angry Birds Movie
    Smartphone apps don’t particularly lend themselves well to political allegory or satire. But that’s precisely what the makers of this fitfully amusing animated adaptation of the once-popular game seem to be fruitlessly attempting.
  16. Equals
    Doremus can’t quite make the emotional breakthroughs rewarding enough to justify the slow buildup, but the icy beauty of the film makes it worth watching.
  17. The Girl in the Spider's Web
    A slow trudge devoid of suspense and adrenaline.
  18. Sorry, Haters
    Not even Sandra Oh, as Phoebe's boss, and Elodie Bouchez ("The Dreamlife of Angels"), as Ashade's sister-in-law, can keep Sorry, Haters from becoming a sorry mess.
  19. MacGruber
    There's a reason you've never seen the words "Will Forte" topping the billing of a major motion picture. After the throbbing flameball of unfunny that is MacGruber, you never will again.
  20. The Shaggy Dog
    Who let this dog out?
  21. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
    In “Mistress of Evil,” everything is a notch less fun, romantic and engaging.
  22. Light It Up
    Light It Up would be a strong candidate for the year's most irresponsible movie - if it were remotely believable.
  23. American Pie 2
    Very, very funny, albeit inferior in a number of ways to the original.
  24. The Beach
    Cinematographer Darius Khonji does a superb job of conveying both the sensual beauty (there's a spectacular moonlight-on-the-water sex scene with Leo and the lovely Ledoyen), and the darkness of Richard's paradise lost.

  25. Anything Else
    This relentlessly mediocre romantic comedy is basically a pretty arthritic third-generation Xerox of "Annie Hall," with Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci in the old Allen and Keaton parts in a probably quixotic attempt to court the youth market.
  26. X Games 3D: The Movie
    Demonstrating that an hour and a half of stunts doesn't make a movie, this feature is X-treme only in its multidimensional dullness.
  27. Chaplin of the Mountains
    There’s a simplicity and directness in Chaplin of the Mountains that keeps it aloft; its wholehearted sincerity feels much fresher than any number of slicker, more cynical films.
  28. Redemption
    Nothing in Redemption quite adds up, including the paranoid hero’s insistence that he’s being watched by drones.
  29. Sherman's Way
    Coming-of-age road trips have rarely been more tedious or predictable.
  30. My Best Enemy
    The director has cited "Inglourious Basterds" as paving the way for his own movie; but for all his boldness, Quentin Tarantino avoided the camps altogether. My Best Enemy shows the camps only briefly, but once it does, it becomes both too much, and not enough. Once you see even a long shot of such a place, the impulse to find humor in much of anything is gone.
