  1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
    Buffy isn't heinous, just disposable. As a friend tells Buffy while she eyes a fashion purchase, "It's so five minutes ago."
  2. The Proposal
    A romantic comedy so numbing it feels like Novocaine.

    Lords of Chaos
    Somehow, though, he made a movie that, to paraphrase an album from the director’s former musical endeavor, has seriously missed the Black Mark.
  4. Godzilla: King of the Monsters
    The chance to see giant monsters go apeshit — a few more are added near the end — is almost worth the price of admission. Seeing, however, is part of the problem. Godzilla: King of the Monsters is often so lost in the shadows of digital muck that it makes the squinting chaos of the Battle of Winterfell in "Game of Thrones" look like a lightshow.
  5. Hard Ball
    The film takes a true story and drags it through a swamp of hyped-up Hollywood cliches.
  6. The Mummy Returns
    We have to suffer through two hours of this rancid summer cheese.
  7. xXx
    It's hard to hate a movie, even one this droolingly crass, that knows how to laugh at itself.
  8. Shark Tale
    It's stale, like something you wrap in yesterday's newspaper.
  9. A Love Song for Bobby Long
    It's the stunning location photography of camera ace Elliot Davis that provides what the movie itself lacks: authenticity.
  10. Hannah Montana: The Movie
    The most shocking thing here is the fact that Peter Chelsom directed it. His 1995 movie, "Funny Bones," is a genuinely transgressive piece of dark comedy. I can't detect a trace of Chelsom in Hannah Montana, which means he won't have to wear a blonde wig to hide his shame.
  11. Haunted Mansion
    A corporate I.P. Easter-egg hunt posing as a movie, this horror-comedy raids the House of Mouse’s resident spoooooky ride’s signature bits while nudging your ribs as aggressively as (in)humanly possible. Even for die-hard Disney fanatics, it’s still about as fun as waiting endlessly in line for something permanently closed for repairs.
  12. Being Charlie
    Many a road to movie hell is paved with good intentions. To that list of lost causes add Being Charlie, a well-meaning study of addiction that hits too many banal beats to snap us to attention.
  13. Fun with Dick and Jane
    Build a comedy around Jim Carrey in manic mode and they will come. Case in point: Fun With Dick and Jane, a pointless, painfully unfunny and yet inexplicably popular remake of the 1977 fizzle with Jane Fonda and George Segal.
  14. 3 Generations
    How do you screw this up? You've got three leading actresses – Susan Sarandon, Naomi Watts and Elle Fanning – who are usually worth watching in anything. But 3 Generations is pushing it. Even nurturing talent can't breathe life into a script that is completely D.O.A.
  15. Josie and the Pussycats
    Harmless girlie trifle. Or at least it means to be.
  16. The Guru
    Graham, back in the porn territory she aced in “Boogie Nights,” steals the show. In the winter doldrums, you don't kick at a movie that puts a smile on your face.
  17. In the Cut
    The result, sadly, is a mess.
  18. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
    A moviegoer has to be a scholar in the now-convoluted cosmology that powers these Potterverse expansion-pack prequels or abandon all hope of understanding a fraction of what’s happening — and even a lot of die-hard Harryheads may find their hippocampus getting seriously taxed while trying to catch up.
  19. Regarding Henry
    What's lacking is emotional weight. It's sad to watch a talented cast, including Bill Nunn as Henry's physical therapist and Donald Moffat, Rebecca Miller and Kirby Mitchell as co-workers, selling bromides.
  20. A Good Year
    The scenery is glorious; you can almost feel the sunshine and smell the wine. But Crowe and Scott are bulls in Mayle's china shop. Like an assertive Burgundy served with a delicate fish, they're a classic wrong pairing.
  21. The Box
    What a shame that Kelly's pacing doesn't run as fast as his imagination. Instead of sweeping you along, The Box just sits there like something unclaimed at lost and found. Damaged goods.
  22. The Whole Nine Yards
    The film falls short; only Peet goes the whole nine yards.
    • Rolling Stone
  23. The Girl Next Door
    Director Luke Greenfield, the auteur behind "The Animal," starring Rob Schneider, wants to pass off this limp-dick farce as social satire. Ha!
  24. He's Just Not That Into You
    Here's a true S&M date movie. Only sadistic men and masochistic women could love it.
  25. The Matrix Revolutions
    At the risk of understatement, The Matrix Revolutions sucks.
  26. In the Heart of the Sea
    Only landlubbers would resist the rousing action of man versus leviathan. Sure it's old-school. So what. Howard puts heart, soul and every computerized whale trick in the book into crafting a seafaring adventure to rock your boat.
  27. Jennifer's Body
    Hot! Hot! Hot!
  28. Bad Teacher
    Bad Teacher keeps running away from its combustibly nasty premise. Damn shame.
  29. Frankie & Alice
    This movie, with its flashbacks to past sins and traumas, rests squarely on Berry, a mesmerizer who makes every moment count.
  30. Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde
    There's not enough here to sustain a half-hour sitcom, but Reese Witherspoon shoulders the burden with star shine to spare.
