  1. Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant
    Jammed with story threads that don’t cohere, Cirque commits the cardinal sin for a vampire movie: It’s bloodless.
  2. Independence Day: Resurgence
    Independence Day: Resurgence pretends there's fresh ground to cover. There isn't, but director Roland Emmerich makes a good show of faking it.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Private Resort
    Witless.
  4. Chapter 27
    Don't hammer this film for trying to get inside the head of Mark David Chapman before he shot John Lennon outside the rock legend's New York apartment on December 8th, 1980. Hammer it instead for failing to do so with any depth or insight.
  5. Penelope
    Penelope is dead on arrival.
  6. Eagle Eye
    Questions: Did everyone involved in this botched thriller OD on speed? Does jimmy-legs director D.J. Caruso think if he slowed down the action we'd figure out how stupid the plot is?
  7. Divergent
    Except for Kate Winslet's fearsome turn as a villain, the only terror Divergent roused in me was that the drag-ass thing would never end. Sorry, I'm a Candor.
  8. The Host
    The Host basically comes down to a vote for Team Jared or Team Ian. I voted myself into oblivion about half an hour in. Niccol, who once added mystery and suspense to the sci-fi of 1997's "Gattaca," is no match for the giant marshmallow that is The Host.
  9. Land of the Blind
    Political satire is so rare that it's a shame to watch the reliable Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland lend their talents to one that is blind to its own incompetence.
  10. A View to a Kill
    What's good? A mesmeric, bottle-blond Christopher Walken as Max Zorin, hellbent on global domination as a product of Nazi experiments, Grace Jones' zowie star at his henchman, and Duran Duran's title song. Otherwise, I'm out.
  11. Sucker Punch
    Looks aren't everything. Case in point: Sucker Punch, a dazzling visual design that goes tone-deaf every time it opens its dumb mouth or makes claims to profundity.
  12. 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."
  13. Benny & Joon
    Whatever qualms you might have about romanticizing mental illness, the misguided Benny and Joon thinks it's just darling.
  14. Hercules
    Director Brett Ratner could boast solid source material in the five-issue Radical Comics series Hercules: The Thracian Wars by the late Steve Moore. They had a shot at something here, and they blew it.
  15. I Love You to Death
    Kasdan has inexplicably reduced flesh-and-blood characters to cartoons.
  16. The Vow
    The Vow is a sopping hankie of a romance for women who love to suffer and the men who love them.
  17. Parkland
    Sadly, what Parkland becomes is a crying shame.
  18. Proud Mary
    Every paying audience member deserves their 12 bucks back.
  19. Masterminds
    The movie has been on ice awaiting release for over a year, owing to the bankruptcy of its studio, Relativity. But some of the jokes were moldy long before that happened. Masterminds owes us our two hours back.
  20. Hamlet
    This big-screen Hamlet, pumped up to operatic scale by overkill director Franco Zeffirelli, exposes Gibson's shortcomings.
  21. 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.
  22. Oldboy
    What's onscreen feels squeezed, truncated and curiously embalmed. It's got no kick to it.
  23. The Next Three Days
    It's damn hard to enjoy a thriller when you don't, won't, can't believe a word of it.
  24. The Tempest
    I found myself wishing that Taymor would turn off the sound and fury and let The Tempest speak for itself. My wish wasn't granted.
  25. Get Hard
    It's not easy hanging talents like Ferrell and Hart out to dry. But Get Hard gets the job done. It's one limp noodle.
  26. The Firm
    Director Sydney Pollack zapped out a taut thriller in "Three Days of the Condor". But The Firm is mostly flab, in the manner of Pollack's elephantine Havana.
  27. The Island
    A borrowed idea -- hello, "Blade Runner," hi there, "Matrix" -- but an idea nonetheless.
  28. The Prince of Tides
    Even the stalwart Nolte drowns in the laughable idiocy of the Wingo-Lowenstein love affair, which lifts Tides to the fiasco class.
  29. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
    The movie deserves a stake through the heart.
  30. Life of the Party
    McCarthy falls into the same trap she did in "Tammy" and "The Boss," the two other movies she wrote with her husband/director Ben Falcone. By that we mean she allows her laugh instincts to get buried in a blanket of bland.
