  1. Monster Trucks
    Monster Trucks is a wreck, fueled by the crazy belief that noise and repetition can disguise the lack of credible writing, directing, acting and FX.

    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.
  3. Bad Boys
    But the bad boys achieve something a budget can't buy: an easy, natural rapport that makes you root for them. For comedy and thrills, Lawrence and Smith are a dream team.
  4. The Chumscrubber
    An appallingly clumsy and stupid take on drugs, kidnapping and suicide in suburbia.
  5. Super Troopers 2
    The problem here isn't excessive pandering; the sheer existence of this second movie is already 100-percent fan service. It's that it doesn't give you much beyond a very subjective view of what these guys find hilarious.
  6. The Grudge
    To start as a genre resuscitation and end up as simply generic — that’s a far more fatal ending than any curse befalling the characters onscreen.

    Easter Sunday
    It’s clear that Jo Koy loves his relatives, and wants the world to know it. It’s just that his style would be better served within the more earnest confines of a traditional multi-cam sitcom.
  8. Chappie
    Blomkamp and his wife and co-writer, Terri Tatchell, stack the deck. Instead of awe, we get "E.T." - aww.
  9. House of Wax
    Purists, be warned: This scare-flick quickie has as much relation to the 1953 Vincent Price classic with the same title as Paris Hilton does to acting.
  10. Jakob the Liar
    The self-congratulatory histrionics of Williams, lower lip trembling as he triumphs over torture in the name of the human spirit, represents a trend in Hollywood to make accessible melodrama out of unspeakable tragedy.

  11. The Hunted
    Just a "Rambo" rehash.
  12. Here Today
    The movie certainly has heart; its purpose is unmistakable. But the spark — for which it has all the necessary ingredients — is somehow missing.
  13. Falling for Christmas
    Lohan’s most distinguished quality as a star is that glowing goodness, a real, unshakeable joy that can only barely be imitated, let alone replicated, and which feels perfectly at home in the bright, buoyant, only glancingly ironic realm of happy-go-lucky comedy.
  14. The Invisible Circus
    The script hits rough patches, especially when Phoebe and Wolf get it on, but the sisters cut to the heart.
  15. Gangster Squad
    This movie made my ears hurt. Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and James Ellroy could have turned this pulp into insinuating jazz. What's here is a cartoonish bore.
  16. Lethal Weapon 3
    Lethal Weapon 3 offers mediocrity wielded by experts. It's not a movie, it's a machine.
  17. Anna
    This kind of Cold War-a-go-go, deadly-honeypot intrigue is harder to do well than you might think — just ask the folks behind "Red Sparrow." So you appreciate it when someone like Besson can make it move like a pro.
  18. Vantage Point
    By the end, Vantage Point is such a unholy mess of drooling sentiment and sloppy loose ends that you’ll hate yourself for being suckered in.
  19. Evolution
    It's refried comic beans that smell stale and smack of desperation.
  20. Table 19
    A tonally uneven mishmash of Wes Anderson quirk, John Cassavetes guts-spilling and The Breakfast Club, all of which somehow manages to dampen the talents of its crack ensemble cast.
  21. The Power of One
    A violent cartoon that trivializes apartheid. If there's any justice, the birds of loneliness will be circling the box office.
  22. Act of Valor
    I don't know what to make of Act of Valor. It's like reviewing a recruiting poster.
  23. The Boss
    The result this time is just as hit and miss. But when it hits, yowsa.
  24. Final Analysis
    Final Analysis suffers from something much worse: terminal shallowness.
  25. Unhinged
    Even marking on a B-movie curve, Unhinged is running on empty.
  26. Shaft
    By the end, when the three Shafts hit the streets in identical long coats like something out of The Matrix, the message is clear. Rough justice is back to stay. Women are out of the picture, except for sex. Dinosaurs again walk the earth with misogynistic and homophobic impunity. These are the laughs, folks. Don’t be surprised if they stick in your throat.
  27. Derailed
    The strapping Owen as a guy who can't handle himself and cutie-pie Aniston as a witchy woman? I don't think so. Talk about derailed.
  28. Piñero
    There's a strong movie in this life, but writer-director Leon Ichaso ("Sugar Hill") hasn't found it.
  29. Suicide Squad
    Suicide Squad wussies out when it should have been down with the Dirty Dozen of DC Comics. Audiences complained that Batman v Superman was too dark and depressing. So director-writer David Ayer (End of Watch, Fury) counters with light and candy-assed. I call bullshit.
  30. 65
    It’s not schlocky enough to be so-bad-it’s-good and nowhere near good enough to be taken even a tiny bit seriously.
