  1. Gulliver's Travels
    At one point, Black puts out a fire by pissing on it. It's my job as a critic to piss on this dumb excuse for a movie. Consider it done.
  2. Head in the Clouds
    This spark-free film has no place to go on their resumes except under the heading of "Cringing Embarrassment."
  3. Green Lantern
    Hal claims that a Lantern's only enemy is fear itself. The thought of a sequel to this shamelessly soulless Hollywood product scares me plenty.
  4. Bedtime Stories
    The shortage of wit and the excess of goo can be summed up in Sandler's line to these children of divorce: "I'm like the stink on your feet — I'll always be there."
  5. Sanctum
    The movie ultimately reveals itself as a pretender with no balls. Creatively, it's all wet.
  6. Glee: The 3D Concert Movie
    The movie plays like an evangelical prayer meeting, though I'd hold the hallelujahs. The characters we came to admire as vulnerable misfits hit the stage like visiting royalty and with a nonstop perkiness that makes the Von Trapps look like manic-depressives.
  7. Charlie St. Cloud
    Some bad movies should carry a leper's bell to warn off ticket buyers. Such a contagion is Charlie St. Cloud, a load of mawkish swill starring Zac Efron (bereft of the talent he showed in "Me and Orson Welles").
  8. Freedomland
    Roth takes three powerhouse actors -- Julianne Moore as the mother, Samuel L. Jackson as the cop who interrogates her and Edie Falco as another woman who lost her son -- and reduces their talents to rubble and their characters to screeching cliches.
  9. Final Destination 5
    The cheap thrills wear off way fast, and we're left with atrocious acting, feeble writing and clueless directing (from first-timer Steven Quale). The horror! The horror!
  10. The Missing
    Even Cate Blanchett can't save this misbegotten horse opera.
  11. Men, Women & Children
    Preacher Reitman won't be satisfied till we stomp our smartphones. LOL. WTF.
  12. Office Christmas Party
    This pooped party brings you down from all the jokes that don't land and the flop sweat pouring off good actors whose forced cheer is exhausting.
  13. The Italian Job
    A triumph for the machines, more proof that we do indeed live in the Matrix.
  14. Valentine's Day
    Valentine's Day is a date movie from hell.
  15. 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.
  16. The Cat in the Hat
    Talk about your quick-buck exploitation.
  17. The Exorcism of Emily Rose
    Oh, how good actors can trap themselves in drivel.
  18. Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins
    Nothing the skunk does can begin to match the stench of this movie.
  19. Red Riding Hood
    Even wild man Gary Oldman, as a priest ready to eighty-six the wolfman with silver nail polish, can't liven up this humorless hogwash. And it's just sad to see the legendary Julie Christie stuck playing the grandmother.
  20. Salinger
    We also learn that five of his books, written in secret, will be published between 2015 and 2020. Can't wait to read them. Can't wait to forget this movie.
  21. Air America
    The movie that might have been goes down in flames.
  22. Filth and Wisdom
    An irredeemably dull tale.
  23. 10,000 BC
    Call it "Apocalypto" for pussies -- a PG-13 rating, puh-leese! -- or prehistory for peabrains. Just don’t call it friendo. 10,000 B.C. will take your money, rob your time and hit your brain like a shot of Novacaine.
  24. Catwoman
    Not to be catty about it, but the stench of the litter pan is all over this big-screen $90 million disaster-in-waiting.
  25. New in Town
    This crap is supposed to be the chick flick antidote to Super Bowl fever. Ha!
  26. 17 Again
    Director Burr Steers, of the terrific "Igby Goes Down," is stuck polishing clichès.
  27. Hall Pass
    It's a lame trailer, but the movie itself is much, much worse.
  28. A Cinderella Story
    It's probably the movie event of the summer if you're an eight-year-old girl who doesn't get out much.
  29. The Bonfire of the Vanities
    Director Brian De Palma’s $45 million film version of the book is superficial, shopworn and cartoonish. On film, Bonfire achieves a consistency of ineptitude rare even in this era of over-inflated cinematic air bags.
  30. The Proposal
    A romantic comedy so numbing it feels like Novocaine.
