  1. Here Today
    Crystal, for what it’s worth, stays genuine through the increasingly viscous plot. He still has that warmth beneath his zingers that you don’t find in the frigid comedians of today. Nonetheless, we resent his movie’s aggressive efforts to force us into crying with strained, untruthful moments by the bucketful.
  2. America the Beautiful
    Gerren's story is fascinating, but Roberts dilutes it by going off on tangents about unsafe cosmetics and phony plastic surgeons. Both topics need exploring - just not here. There's more than enough drama in Gerren's life.
  3. The Girl from the Naked Eye
    So deadpan are the dialogue and narration that it's hard to tell whether the laughs are intentional. What with all the shrieking, dumb bad-girl hookers and the wistful, wounded good-girl hookers, the sexism is so creepy it might be an ironic genre critique. Then again, maybe it's just creepy.
  4. Falling for Christmas
    If Falling for Christmas simply fleshed out Sierra more, and made us believe she was in love with Jake, not just grinning at everybody, we’d have a movie. Instead, it’s a predictable stunt.
  5. Molly's Theory of Relativity
    Molly’s Theory of Relativity is anti-cinema. All hope for any plot atrophies as Molly and her husband discuss their possible move to Norway with the wit and passion of a representative reading a tribute to Calvin Coolidge into the Congressional Record.
  6. The Invisible Circus
    Yet another murky film about the 1970s that's watchable mostly for its cast rather than the story.

  7. Gangster Squad
    A cartoonish 1940s shoot-'em-up that's impossible to take seriously.
  8. Better Living Through Chemistry
    Rockwell is incapable of being boring, so there’s some small entertainment to be found in watching his buttoned-up beta male blossom into full Sam Rockwell.
  9. Fatman
    Gibson’s got another strong performance in him, I think, but this Christmas crapola sure ain’t it.
  10. Evolution
    Somewhat refreshingly aspiring to be nothing more than a disposable summer popcorn movie, this is a flick that delivers more smiles than laughs and has some wonderful special effects.
  11. Psychopathia Sexualis
    Sex can be fun and exciting and wonderful. It also can be deadly boring, as in Psychopathia Sexu alis.
  12. Beer League
    The sort of lowbrow sports comedy best enjoyed on a 50-inch screen with a six-pack, a bucket of wings and a fast-forward button.
  13. Heartthrob
    We keep waiting for one of those outlandish musical treats to bring some life to the clichéd script. Kunder throws in a few breaks, but they're tepid and brief.
  14. Vantage Point
    Throws in enough hurtling bodies, screaming bullets and totaled cars that it at least holds your interest, so it passes the worth-watching-if-you're-stuck-on-an-airplane test.
  15. While She Was Out
    Directed by Susan Montford, While She Was Out is a straight-to-DVD movie making a brief stop in theaters.
  16. The Perfect Family
    Make no mistake, though: The Perfect Family is Kathleen Turner's show. And when a series of crises forces Eileen to re-examine her values and beliefs, Turner rises magnificently to the occasion.
  17. Paranormal Activity 4
    This is hardly reinventing the wheel, but it is serviceable, if you're looking for a few shivery communal scares.
  18. Coming Up Roses
    Coming Up Roses swerves into a third-act twist that's both an indie cliché and dramatically unnecessary.
  19. Return to Nuke 'Em High Volume 1
    Imagine the French lesbian romance “Blue Is the Warmest Color’’ as a raunchy American exploitation flick with loads of fake gore. That’s a rough idea of the latest from Lloyd Kaufman, the exuberant shockmeister whose Troma Team is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
  20. Table 19
    Congratulations are in order to Table 19: This comedy about the random losers stuck together at a wedding reception actually, uncannily, creates an experience as dull, awkward and excruciating as the thing it mocks.
  21. Act of Valor
    Refreshing as it is to see the military portrayed as something other than a band of neurotics and creeps, there's a reason this brand of rah-rah and bang-bang didn't outlast the age of Whitesnake and Marty McFly.
  22. The Boss
    McCarthy shines when loosely riffing, but the plot tightens around her like a vise.
  23. Horrible Bosses 2
    The three friends do things that venture beyond entertainingly dumb and into exasperatingly unbelievable.
  24. Unhinged
    As the horror genre has, in recent years, grown more sophisticated and clever, you heave a sigh of relief to be handed a thriller that’s so dumb.
  25. The Good Heart
    The movie begins to wear out its welcome even before a conclusion of breathtaking corniness.
  26. Igor
    Molly Shannon is dementedly charming as Eva.
  27. Here Comes the Boom
    Low on raunch but even lower on laughs. It also looks like half the lighting crew failed to show up.
  28. Derailed
    Train wreck.
  29. The Heir Apparent: Largo Winch
    The generic plot is redeemed by exciting action sequences, good-looking location photography and a hot sex scene involving a femme fatale named Lea (pixie-haired Melanie Thierry).
  30. Suicide Squad
    If it has a genius for anything, it’s disorganization: What promised to be a Super Bowl of villainy turned out more like toddler playtime.
