  1. The Victim
    Biehn has appeared in dozens of B-movies and evidently had no greater ambition than to come up with a grindhouse movie full of sex, gore and cheap thrills, but there is far too little of any of these to maintain interest in a straight-on story that reserves its only surprise for the final 30 seconds.
  2. The Revenant
    About 30 minutes too long and somewhat clumsily executed, this zombie's-eye-view story still manages to evoke the comic and splattery spirit of the best '80s cult horror flicks (and features a car-horn shout-out to "The Lost Boys," to boot).
  3. Death by China
    The documentary tells us little we don't already know and is overwhelmingly one-sided. It would make a nice TV infomercial, but certainly doesn't deserve a big-screen release.
  4. Samsara
    The drawbacks to this often rhapsodically beautiful film lie not in the journey itself, but in the preachy detours taken along the way.
  5. Little White Lies
    France's friendship dramedy Little White Lies is such a blatant rip-off of a far better American movie that it could have been called "Le Big Chill."
  6. Hit and Run
    Burt Reynolds and Sally Field they're not, but you could do worse for mindless late-summer entertainment than Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell in Hit & Run.
  7. Premium Rush
    Stakes aren't the only problem with this sloppy thriller, which combines careening images with turgid storytelling.
  8. Brother, Can You Spare a Dollar
    A shoddy, slapdash look at issues raised by the Great Depression that neither gives an adequate overview nor manages to argue a coherent thesis.
  9. Robot and Frank
    The feature directorial debut of Jake Schreier, has a smart script by C.D. Ford and an impressive supporting cast.
  10. Why Stop Now
    Acquires a little vigor and some fun from Tracy Morgan as a friendly drug dealer who lives with his mom.
  11. Chicken with Plums
    Fortunately, Chicken With Plums does have its pleasures, including Isabella Rossellini as the silkily jaded mother.
  12. Beloved
    Dire musical interludes are sprinkled throughout the sprawling mess Beloved, an uninvolving would-be romantic epic that spans 45 years in the life of a mother and her daughter, starting in the early 1960s.
  13. The Awakening
    The self-possessed Hall is well-suited to this proto-feminist role, smoking and rolling her eyes as the pasty old men around her exclaim, for what is clearly the millionth time, "An educated woman!" as if she were a zoo animal.
  14. True Wolf
    It's hard to get close to a wild creature, and True Wolf doesn't always manage, either.
  15. Compliance
    The actors in Compliance perform with thorough and chilling sincerity.
  16. ParaNorman
    ParaNorman is probably the year's most visually dazzling movie so far, and the stunning climax centering on an 11-year-old witch (Jodelle Ferland) is too good to spoil.
  17. Cosmopolis
    The climax is as dull as reading the dictionary of a language you do not speak.
  18. Sparkle
    For a movie called Sparkle, the absolutely least interesting or central thing about it is Sparkle (and Sparks), although the "Idol" singer does bust out one impressive performance.
  19. The Expendables 2
    More fun and somewhat more coherent than its Sylvester Stallone-directed predecessor, The Expendables 2 serves up a planeload of thickly sliced, well-aged beef and ham amid lots of stuff getting blown up.
  20. The Odd Life of Timothy Green
    If the movie's story is anything but daring, it does takes guts to make a movie so shamelessly emotional as this one. Not that guts are the same as taste.
  21. Supercapitalist
    A Walmart "Wall Street," the hedge-fund drama Supercapitalist is junk merchandise stamped "made in China."
  22. 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.
  23. Meet the Fokkens
    It's an uneasy tonal mix that wants to have it both ways - this is a difficult way to pay the rent, but look at how charming the Fokkens are.
  24. Goats
    First-time director Christopher Neil (a Coppola cousin) scores points for scenery: The treks in the Arizona desert are shot beautifully - as is Duchovny's chiseled, oft-naked bod.
  25. Red Hook Summer
    Formerly a maker of bad, but at least angry, movies, Spike Lee now seems to be trying to be the world's oldest student filmmaker. Take out the rookie mistakes from Red Hook Summer, and there'd be nothing left.
  26. 2 Days in New York
    Delpy's good at keeping Marion's complaints sharp and funny, rather than wan and whiny. Even so, the movie's a bumpy ride as her good farcical instincts vie with the yen for cheap laughs.
  27. The Campaign
    Put it this way: Jimmy Carter was funnier than this movie.
  28. The Bourne Legacy
    Disappointingly, Bourne never resurfaces in this less-than-satisfying series reboot. The film is more a talky, convoluted, action-starved two-hour subplot.
  29. Hope Springs
    Hope Springs could have been unbearably schmaltzy or crude. Instead, in the hands of these expert actors and filmmakers, it's a warm and wryly affecting mid-summer treat.
  30. Mosquita y Mari
    Guerrero's attitude toward the teenagers - understanding and affectionate, without being cloying - is what holds your interest.
