  1. Rory O'Shea Was Here
    As a feel-good movie about disabled youths, Rory O'Shea Was Here gets the job done, but it isn't interesting or daring enough to make it worth a trip to a theater.
  2. Godzilla vs. Kong
    As a cavalcade of highlight clips, it’s hard to imagine something more attention-catching. But as a movie… What works as a sizzle reel totaling three minutes shows its inherent shallowness when expanded to nearly two hours.
  3. The Ballad of Jack and Rose
    Camilla Belle is an impressive newcomer - this could be her breakthrough appearance.
  4. No Hard Feelings
    It often tries too hard for laughs and gets cringes instead. Lawrence and Feldman play well off one another, but the movie needs more than that chemistry to be an unqualified success.
  5. Doctor Sleep
    Doctor Sleep is more straightforward and narratively clean than "The Shining." Although too long by at least 20 minutes, it is more accessible and doesn’t overly penalize those who haven’t seen (or don’t remember) the original movie.
  6. The Lost World: Jurassic Park
    Much of this movie seems like a retread of Jurassic Park (with a little King Kong thrown in at the end), not because director Steven Spielberg is intentionally copying himself, but because there's really not much more that he can do with the premise.
  7. Love! Valour! Compassion!
    It's rare for homosexuals in mainstream motion pictures to be presented as individuals rather than icons; Love! Valour! Compassion! defies tradition by proffering its characters as real people with believable problems.
  8. J. Edgar
    DiCaprio wears the persona of Hoover with ease, again reminding audiences that the young man who made so many girls swoon with Titanic has grown into an actor of great range and capability.
  9. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
    Not mainstream fare, but neither is it as willfully obtuse as "Melancholia."
  10. Alien 3
    Alien 3 is, simply put, a mess. The writers have no idea how to tell a coherent, entertaining story. With the exception of a surprise or two, there isn't much worthwhile here.
  11. Pocahontas
    Taking advantage of the studio's breathtakingly intricate animation, directors Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg have breathed vitality into this, the fifth "new wave" Disney animated picture.
  12. Sing
    Most of Sing's creative energy was invested in the musical numbers and, fortunately, that's where it shines. But the film really can't go toe-to-toe with heavyweights "Zootopia," "Moana," "Dory" or even the little-seen but superior "Kubo."
  13. Deja Vu
    Denzel Washington plays Denzel Washington, good cop. This isn't a great performance, but Washington wasn't brought in to show off his acting chops.
  14. The Mask
    As a comedy, The Mask is genial, but its recycled plot is far too thin for the film to succeed as either an adventure or a spoof.
  15. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
    Deliver Me from Nowhere wants to be profound, but it mostly feels like it’s still searching for a chorus.
  16. Fight or Flight
    One thing missing from Fight or Flight is the kind of Tarantino-inspired banter that elevated Bullet Train. In fact, the production is only fitfully successful in transcending the boundaries of a generic action film.
  17. Heartbreaker
    Heartbreaker isn't disappointing enough that it will cause pangs of deep regret for anyone who pays to see it in a movie theater, but it will go down more easily as a home viewing option.
  18. The Lovebirds
    The Lovebirds stands out as a worthy opportunity for home entertainment.
  19. Mr. Holland's Opus
    It's a symphony of solid storytelling and good feeling that pays tribute to Hollywood's rarely-seen, gentler side.
  20. On the Basis of Sex
    Abetted by a strong lead performance from actress Felicity Jones, the film stands as a monument to gender equality at a time when that subject has become a hot-button issue due to the upheaval associated with the “#metoo” movement.
  21. Run All Night
    The trailers make Run All Night look like a fast-paced shoot-'em-up and, although those elements are present, this is a darker and grimmer experience.
  22. The Black Cauldron
    A fun-but-uninspired swords-and-sorcery story.
  23. We Own the Night
    With a cast like this, one has a right to expect something amazing, so the fact that We Own the Night is merely "entertaining" might cause disappointment in some quarters.
  24. Ice Age: The Meltdown
    This is a lackluster film that exists exclusively because its predecessor made money.
  25. Signs
    By limiting the number of special effects shots and treating the film more like a horror movie than a science fiction spectacle, Shyamalan creates a claustrophobic atmosphere and keeps the tension level high. There were times during this film when I was strongly reminded of "Panic Room."
  26. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
    Too much of what The Spy Who Shagged Me has to offer is tired and derivative, and, when the various jokes and gags are tallied, there are many more misses than hits.
  27. Bridget Jones's Baby
    Bridget Jones’s Baby exceeds expectations and, as a result, makes us willing to forgive the delay in bringing the character back to theaters.
  28. Cars 3
    The final chapter of the trilogy has saved the best for last and will at least deflect the most serious concerns of those who think this series has taken too many extra laps.
  29. Moonlight Mile
    An insult to anyone who has tragically and unexpectedly lost a loved-one in a similar manner.
  30. Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
    A scathing satire of conspicuous consumption and a fashion-obsessed culture, Absolutely Fabulous - The Movie hits most of its targets and twists the knife but, as funny as the material sometimes is, the flimsy narrative and threadbare caricatures encounter difficulties trying to sustain a 90 minute motion picture.
