  1. Internal Affairs
    Just what we didn't need: another kick-ass cop flick in which we know the guys are macho because they rough up their wives and the gals are hot because they totter on spike heels like hookers.
  2. Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius
    It's too bad. Jones deserved better than a biopic with a TV-movie heart.
  3. Rendition
    What a cast, indeed. And what a bust as persuasive drama.
  4. On the Road
    A dash of Tarantino might have juiced up Walter Salles' wrongheadedly well-mannered take on Jack Kerouac's 1957 Beat Generation landmark. Kerouac's semi-autobiographical novel comes to the screen looking good but feeling shallow.
  5. Black Widow
    Credit is due to Pugh and Johansson, most of all, for proving, in the movie’s opening chunk, that their foes-then-friends dynamic could satisfyingly hold an entire movie.
  6. The Lost City
    As is, The Lost City is less of a lost opportunity than something happy to stick to its middle lane and bide its time.
  7. The Corruptor
    What you get in this cop drama is NYPD Blue lite. That's not bad. In fact, it's compulsively watchable. But there are no leaps, just fits and starts.
  8. The Last Movie Star
    An opportunity missed.
  9. 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.
  10. Runaway Jury
    Hackman and Hoffman, old pals in their first film together, make a lively business of their one scene together -– in a toilet, no less. The rest you can flush.
  11. Labor Day
    The pie looks delicious, but Labor Day feels stale.
  12. Domino
    Just when you want to outright dismiss it, a pinprick of sound and vision peeks through the straight-to-DVD dross. And just when you start to think someone’s starting to gin up that old black magic, the whole thing simply topples over with a loud thud.
  13. How to Train Your Dragon
    Debate all you want about whether this movie actually teaches you how to train a dragon. What this movie is actually trying to accomplish, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is how to train their audiences to keep buying the same thing over, and over, and over again.
  14. Ma
    So it’s a kick to see Spencer dig into the title role in Ma, a Blumhouse scarefest that tries but rarely lives up to the irresistible dynamo at its center.
  15. X-Men: The Last Stand
    Last stand? My ass. Billed as the climax of a trilogy, the third and weakest chapter in the X-Men series is a blatant attempt to prove there is still life in the franchise.
  16. Big Time Adolescence
    It’s the kind of film that works well if you don’t feel like getting off your couch. Zeke would definitely approve.
  17. Central Intelligence
    Central Intelligence always takes the lazy way out. You go along for the ride because Hart and Johnson promise something they can't deliver: a movie as funny as they are.
  18. Jay Kelly
    While it has its share of highlights...there’s a lot of celebrity malaise and hot air masquerading as insight here.
  19. Real Steel
    Sugar Ray Leonard helped with the motion-capture, and it shows. Good stuff. But the tear-jerking in Real Steel is as shameless as its product placement. We're being hustled.
  20. No Strings Attached
    What's in this cliché grab bag for moviegoers? Well, Portman and Kutcher are a cute mismatch. She's short to his tall, sassy to his sweet, etc. I dried up here. So does the movie.
  21. Basic
    Their (Travolta/Jackson) teamwork was classic. Basic breaks up the team. What's up with that?
  22. The Dressmaker
    Kate Winslet can do anything ... except save this movie from quirky overkill.
  23. The Core
    The Core -- with its by-the-numbers plot and performances -- isn't offensive, just unblushingly tacky and derivative.
  24. Return to Paradise
    What if director Joseph Ruben didn't resort to B-movie suspense tricks? What if the fine cast wasn't saddled with a shamelessly contrived script by Wesley Strick and Bruce Robinson? Then Return to Paradise would be a better movie, that's what if.
  25. Blood Diamond
    DiCaprio is terrific, but he can't save this lecture from the shame of using Africa as a vehicle for another white man's redemption.
  26. Rob Roy
    You always know where it's going even as it meanders for two and a half hours getting there.
  27. Maze Runner: The Death Cure
    The Death Cure plot is the essence of rehash.
  28. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
    Sollett, hoping for a "Before Sunrise/Before Sunset" vibe, sadly settles for a soggy aftertaste.
  29. Capone
    Aside from Hardy’s full-on commitment, Capone seems too dramatically dull and laborious to support its ambition as a subversive biopic or a deeply personal take on public vilification.
  30. Lemon
    You can accuse Lemon of a lot of things. False advertising in the title, however, is not one of them.
