  1. Everything Is Illuminated
    Wood, whose mostly mute turn is defined by his black suit and glasses, can only stare in stupefaction at Schreiber's jittery mix of broad laughs and sentiment. Audiences will share the feeling.
  2. How to Deal
    The pop diva goes down with the bubbles in this hopelessly shallow soap opera.
  3. Celebrity
    Suffers from lulls and lapses and one lulu of a casting gaffe, but this keenly observant spoof of the fame game is hardly the work of a burnout.
  4. Guess Who
    Guess what? It's almost bearable.
  5. Jersey Girl
    Affleck is modest and engaging, which keeps the movie out of "Gigli" territory. But it's close.
  6. Pocahontas
    Disney deserves praise for raising the ante on its ambitions in animation. Next time, though, a little less civics lesson and a little more heart.
  7. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
    You wish the movie wasn’t content to be a feature-length meme and truly deserved what Cage is doing with this long, hard look in the fun-house mirror. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is not unbearable by any means. It just should have been so much better.
  8. King Arthur
    Strains credulity at every turn.
  9. The Art of Self-Defense
    The Art of Self-Defense sets itself up as the 90-pound weakling destined to live forever in the shadow of "Fight Club." The good news is that writer-director Riley Stearns gets in a few good licks at toxic masculinity before odious comparisons to David Fincher’s masterpiece blunt the film’s comic and dramatic impact.
  10. Venom: The Last Dance
    Why does this Last Dance feel so impersonal, so rote, so step-by-step predictable?
  11. Jurassic World Rebirth
    So why the hell does this feel so generic, so by-the-numbers, so instantly forgettable? The whole thing resembles the blockbuster version of a readymade, assembled from various, recognizable spare parts and elevated only by virtue of its name.
  12. Windtalkers
    The code talkers deserved better than a hollow tribute.
  13. Lady in the Water
    You leave Lady thinking there are still voices in Shyamalan's head well worth a listen.
  14. A Cure for Wellness
    This is not so much a horror movie as a lookbook for one – an assemblage of scary-flick odds and ends slotted next to each other with the thinnest of connective tissue.
  15. Hearts in Atlantis
    What a shame, though, that the movie isn't a livelier business.
  16. Admission
    I'd see Tina Fey and Paul Rudd in anything, but this is pushing it. Admission is so slight that a breeze could flatten it.

    Miss Bala
    Without the unyielding forward charge of the original, however, the far-fetched story doesn’t really work. And the movie’s attempts to explain its characters doesn’t make them any deeper; quite the contrary, it renders them simplistic.
  18. City of Ember
    You long for things to go bump in the night, but the movie muffles every risk in a blanket of bland.
  19. 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.
  20. Paradise Road
    What should have been an affecting film becomes a rank blend of sentiment and sadism in the hands of Bruce Beresford, the Australian writer and director.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Midas Man
    The film is largely a competent but uninspiring telling of his tale.
  22. Glory Road
    Josh Lucas plays Haskins with a no-bull vigor that comes in handy when the script saddles him with all-bull platitudes.
  23. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
    That remembrance of Saturday matinees past is there for a bit in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Until it very much isn’t, and you’re largely left with what you imagine you’d get if you programmed a 21st century A.I. program to write up nostalgia-bait for the children of the late 20th century.
  24. Sylvia
    Paltrow looks glam even in death, which only supports the notion, raised by Plath’s daughter Frieda Hughes, that the movie would be about a "Sylvia Suicide Doll." Good call.
  25. Class Act
    Kid'n Play have charm, but it's disturbing to see them settle for the slick. Their rap used to stand for something; now it's just easy listening.
  26. Speed Racer
    There is one high note. You can approach Speed Racer as the trippiest stonerfest since Stanley Kubrick took his space odyssey.
  27. The Old Guard 2
    It’s a new chapter in a saga, yet like its characters who’ve been practicing the art of war since Sun Tzu coined the term, the sequel somehow feels ancient and a little creaky.
  28. Summerland
    A sweet, soft-centered pastoral drama that’s never as tough-minded as you want it to be. Thankfully, in her feature debut as a filmmaker, playwright Jessica Swale shows a genuine flair with actors.
  29. Open Range
    Open Range copies the rain and flood of the Clint Eastwood classic but can't match it for dark-night-of-the-soul brilliance.
  30. In Time
    Pretty cast. Potent premise. Piss-poor execution. And so dies In Time.
