  1. Savage Grace
    Money, madness, incest and murder! Just the recipe for a twisted mesmerizer of a movie, if it doesn't creep you out.
  2. Creation
    This one means well, a kiss-of-death review if there ever was one.
  3. Look Who's Talking
    This flabby comedy deserves only one thing: to fall on its fat one.
  4. Me Before You
    It also doesn't grapple deeply enough with the core questions it raises, settling for telling a sob story that will go down easy at the box office. Still, you can't blame audiences too much for being seduced by two shining young stars in a movie romance that hits the spot, bitter and sweet.
  5. The Fountain
    In telling a tale of love across time, Aronofsky is sometimes guilty of creating arty, pretentious psychobabble. But in visual terms, he's trying to expose his own raw, romantic heart. Folly? Maybe. But a risk worth taking.
  6. The Woman in the Yard
    Like a particularly concise, purposefully elliptical short story, The Woman in the Yard quickly milks this beguiling, WTF-is-going-on-here? scenario for all the dread it’s worth, while not necessarily being in a hurry to fill folks in on the full 411 regarding this sticky situation.
  7. Karate Kid: Legends
    Hardcore fans may get their kicks from seeing Macchio and Chan together. Everyone else will just feel like tempted to sweep the legs of everyone trying to cash in on a recently revived franchise and wring it dry.
  8. Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town
    It helps that Davis is insanely charismatic onscreen, but her ability to showcase the vulnerability and scar tissue beneath this human embodiment of an extended middle finger gives the movie a semblance of depth.
  9. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
    A blast of comic irreverence that serves as a starring vehicle for two stoner characters who had previously been relegated to the sidelines.
  10. The Accountant
    Preposterous can be defined in many, many ways. But for now, let's use the plot details of The Accountant as Exhibit A.
  11. I Think We're Alone Now
    Even Dinklage and Fanning can’t give this failed experiment a heartbeat. You won’t wish for the end of world while watching I Think We’re Alone Now, just the end of the movie.
  12. Trolls World Tour
    Trolls World Tour hits the home market at exactly the right time, celebrating music as a joyful, community experience that excludes no one. Nothing wrong with a movie, even this kiddie piffle, that steps up and does that.
  13. Assassination Tango
    Duvall missteps in trying to mesh suspense with a love story that also involves the woman (Kathy Baker) John J. lives with and her young daughter (Katherine Micheaux Miller), on whom he disturbingly dotes.
  14. Sister Act
    For stranding these talents in a one-gag movie that wears thin somewhere between the first choir practice and the second chase, the filmmakers should say a sincere Act of Contrition.
  15. The Gentlemen
    The result isn’t exactly Lock, Stock Redux. Only the “stock” part remains.
  16. The Expendables 2
    Like the 2010 original, The Expendables 2 is all sound and fury signifying nothing, when at the very least it should add up to big, dumb fun.
  17. Birth
    The best of what's onscreen is a mesmerizing mind-teaser.
  18. Going the Distance
    A sappy-sweet romcom that seems to have been invaded by a screenwriter - one Geoff LaTulippe - with delusions that he's David Mamet.
  19. Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle
    There’s much to gasp and fawn over here, and too much forgettable filler. But at least audiences have a chance to see it, so Serkis and his collaborators can finally turn the page on this particular book.
  20. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
    It's a bummer that the jokes don't land often enough, especially in the final third when the tone takes a turn for the tame. WTF!?!
  21. Papillon
    Papillon pushes too hard with diminishing returns. Though Hunnam and Malek give it everything they’ve got, they’re denied the chance to make their characters as indelible as McQueen and Hoffman did.
  22. Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula
    Though Yeon can still deliver memorable frights, like the car horn that literally does wake the dead, he can’t decide what kind of movie to make. So he does a genre mashup, tops it with a sappy ending, and hopes for the best. The result is decidedly uneven.
  23. 21 Bridges
    We could give you 21 reasons not to see 21 Bridges — and not single one that’s worth the price of admission.
  24. Lovelace
    We pity Linda, but it's no substitute for understanding her.
  25. Hardcore Henry
    It's all about the ride, the relentless wallop and whoosh. But, hey, sometimes that's all a cine-junkie needs for a fix.
  26. Parkland
    Sadly, what Parkland becomes is a crying shame.
  27. John Carter
    John Carter bites off more than even Woola can chew, but it's built on something rare: wonder instead of Hollywood cynicism.
  28. My Sister's Keeper
    The infuriating cop–out ending reduces the premise to mush. I wanted to scream. Here goes: Arghh!
  29. Step Brothers
    Starting at infantile and regressing hysterically from there, Step Brothers flies on the comic chemistry of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.
  30. Anonymous
    Say this for Emmerich, he's not stuffy. And he lucks out big-time with his cast.
