  1. Cowboys & Aliens
    It looks slick, pricey and starry – Indiana Jones teams up with James Bond for a gunfight with space demons. But even Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig can't save a movie that's all concept, no content.
  2. Blonde
    Blonde is no truer or more intelligent than a more openly sleazy rendition of this story. It leaves too little room (despite its two hour and 40 minute runtime) to reconcile the fuller reality of this woman.
  3. Where the Money Is
    With Newman, the movie emerges as a lively character piece with flashes of humor and grace.

  4. The Four Feathers
    It should have been an old-fashioned rouser, and sometimes it is. The great cinematographer Robert Richardson (JFK) lights the battle scenes like action paintings. But Kapur weighs down the tale with bogus profundities.
  5. The Crimson Rivers
    Makes you gag.
  6. Alfie
    The only touch of Caine's brutal sexiness is in the thrilling songs by Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart that should win Sir Mick his first Oscar. The rest is marshmallow.
  7. Things Heard & Seen
    You applaud Seyfried for doing so much of the heavy lifting, and for once again proving that a close-up of someone looking unnerved is worth a thousand wonky exchanges. Still, not even she can keep the wheels from falling off when the second half tries to trade in gaslighting for ghosts and never finds the tone it needs to make the transition.
  8. Black Christmas
    You could, however, accuse this Black Christmas of elevating the subtext of decades’ worth of slasher flicks to the point that the text itself starts to take a backseat, or that its third-act reveal may be trying a tad too hard to grab the social-thriller brass ring. You would not necessarily be wrong.
  9. Cassandra's Dream
    Allen, who stays behind the camera, brings too little wit and too much contrivance to material that quickly dissolves into warmed-over Dostoevski.
  10. Chloe
    I didn't believe a word of it.
  11. Wilson
    Missed opportunities hobble the film as a whole, but Harrelson is in there pitching his best game. That alone is a sight to see.
  12. Sleepers
    Sleepers, for all the doubts it raises, is the work of a man who speaks for absent friends and "for the children we were." It's his secret heart.
  13. Guess Who
    Guess what? It's almost bearable.
  14. S1m0ne
    Writer-director Andrew Niccol -- gets this Hollywood satire off to a rousing start. But the middle flattens, despite Pacino firing on all cylinders. And the end just nose-dives into something silly and, worse, sentimental.
  15. Death of a President
    Shopworn propaganda.
  16. Far and Away
    Even at its hokiest, Far and Away is never less than heartfelt.
  17. Always at The Carlyle
    Dazzling, sometimes hilarious and surprisingly emotional documentary.
  18. Edtv
    Satire in a blanket of bland.
  19. The Good German
    This is Soderbergh's show, and a haunting and hypnotic show it is.
  20. Demolition
    When humor is served black, they call it dramedy. When it's done in this movie, I call it indigestible.
  21. 2012
    Beware 2012, which works the dubious miracle of almost matching "Transformers 2" for sheer, cynical, mind-numbing, time-wasting, money-draining, soul-sucking stupidity.
  22. Great Balls of Fire!
    Lewis’s vintage rock is still cause for cheering. Too bad the movie that contains these Killer sounds never rises above a whimper.
  23. Don't Look Up
    It’s a disaster movie in more ways than one. Should you indeed look up, you may be surprised to find one A-list bomb of a movie, all inchoate rage and flailing limbs, falling right on top of you.
  24. What Men Want
    Henson looks ready to come out firing on all cylinders, but the comic cowardice of What Men Want leaves her shooting blanks.
  25. TRON: Legacy
    Bridges has a fine time playing with himself, so to speak. Add Garrett Hedlund as Flynn's son Sam, the rebel who zaps himself into the server to find his lost dad, and director Joseph Kosinski has a recipe for adventure that should delight gamers. Non-techies are on their own.
  26. The 6th Day
    Offers action in the Arnold Schwarzenegger style. Well, not right away.
    • Rolling Stone
  27. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
    But the film exerts a hold. The crux is: for how long?
  28. The Thing
    One gut-busting death after another, terror giving way to tedium. Your call.
  29. The Fifth Estate
    The Fifth Estate is stuck running in place.
  30. American Reunion
    The laughs that do achieve liftoff are killer. But the real kick is seeing the old gang back and ready to party.
