    The Very Thought of You
    It's as light as a feather yet tickles all the same.
  2. American Wedding
    Some gut-busting moments, but for the most part the thrill is gone.
  3. Twentynine Palms
    At turns sexy, ultra-violent and sweet, it will infiltrate your brain long after you've seen it.
  4. Master of the Game
    Provides a few minor thrills, but overall is talky and implausible.
  5. Frozen
    Relies far too much on an overdose of gore and a pack of hungry wolves to deliver its chills.
  6. The Uninvited
    The horror flick The Uninvited is not unclever - but it is unoriginal.
  7. Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant
    Calls to mind Grandpa taking out his dentures and trying to put on a comedy monster show for little kids at Halloween: When he tries to be scary, he's goofy, but when he tries to be goofy, he's scary.
  8. The Aftermath
    The drama is a crude blend of history and pulpy romance, with maudlin performances from the two leads.
  9. Unaccompanied Minors
    89 minutes go by like 89 hours. Not just 89 regular hours either: 89 hours of being stuck in an airport. During a blizzard. While Lewis Black sleeps drooling on your shoulder.
  10. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey
    In the pantheon of films about magical cars, this one is not big, bold or beautiful.
  11. Steal Me
    Solid performances can't save Melissa Painter's pretentious teen drama Steal Me, which plays like a cross between "Dangerous Skin" (without the gay sex) and "Picnic" (without the production values or credible situations).
  12. The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam
    The writing, acting and direction are so amateurish that the only thing you'll care about is escaping the theater.
  13. Wonderland
    The problem is that there's not a sympathetic character among the nasty, brutish males. And the women, except for a flashy cameo by a swimsuit-clad Paris Hilton, are given short shrift.
  14. Death Race
    Statham is an essential tough guy, what the Brits call "well'ard," as self-assured as Lee Marvin.
  15. Not Easily Broken
    As bland as the Kenny G-style smooth jazz its hero listens to in moments of distress.
  16. Machine Gun Preacher
    In Machine Gun Preacher, Gerard Butler says, "I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of that hurt a lot of people." But enough about "The Bounty Hunter," "The Ugly Truth" and "P.S. I Love You."
  17. Segunda piel
    But by the time events unfold, viewers will most likely have given up on this melodramatic.
  18. The Forgotten
    The worst crime perpetrated in the Swiss-cheese screenplay by Gerald Di Pego ("Angel Eyes") is the cynical use of a mother's love for her child as a plot device for an intelligence-insulting sci-fi dud.
  19. This Ain't No Heartland
    Horvath has a sensitive eye and ear, mixing good-looking shots of the barren landscape with portraits of the land's eccentric inhabitants. It's a world (scary at times) that most New Yorkers have no idea exists. [25 Aug 2004, p.40]

  20. Back to Black
    As expected, director Sam Taylor-Johnson’s woeful film “Back to Black” doesn’t play as the gripping battle of musical genius vs. personal demons it fancies itself to be. Instead it’s all sadness, songs and sensationalism.
  21. Eternal
    Fairly sexy and stylish. Alas, it's also quite silly and not especially scary.
  22. The Romantics
    The Romantics isn't as consistent or as well-rounded as its parent, "The Big Chill," or as entertaining as its less literate but more extroverted cousin, "St. Elmo's Fire," but with its tart dialogue and its perfect ending, it is sensitive as well as sagacious. It's a rare combination.
  23. Trust the Man
    A better than adequate date movie.
  24. Monte Carlo
    Earnest and predictable, it's the cinematic equivalent of a pop hit by star Selena Gomez's boyfriend, Justin Bieber.
  25. Dark Phoenix
    Pretty far-fetched even for a franchise about rare genetic mutations that allow people to read minds and shoot lasers with their eyes. It’s not bad, just crazy.
  26. Spread
    A witless homage to "Shampoo" and "American Gigolo" that's brain-dead on arrival.
  27. Miss Congeniality
    Has some entertaining moments, thanks mainly to Bullock herself, who is surprisingly glamorous as well as endearing.
  28. The Grace Card
    With its poky pacing, thin characters, obvious message and predictable plot, the movie amounts to a cinematic sermon that, like many of those given in houses of worship, has a good-hearted message that will be difficult to deliver to a snoozing audience.
  29. Nitro Circus: The Movie
    It's their hard luck that this movie is being released as the Olympics wind down. The contrast with the beauty and self-discipline seen for the past two weeks doesn't exactly work to the advantage of Nitro Circus.
  30. The New Mutants
    Director Josh Boone’s goal was to jettison the usual comic-book trappings and make The New Mutants a horror film. He succeeded on the first part, but not the second. Nothing is scary or heroic. Perhaps unsurprising coming from the guy who directed “The Fault in Our Stars,” it’s all teenage troubles: love, sex obsession, a tinge of self-harm.
