  1. 44 Inch Chest
    There's a difference between exposing misogyny and crassly exploiting it.
  2. The Mummy
    It's a monster fail.
  3. A Man Apart
    It's a little early for self-parody in the career of Vin Diesel. But he's a calamitous cliché in A Man Apart.
  4. W.E.
    Here's Madge one more time doing something for which she is eminently unsuited – directing.
  5. Taking Lives
    If you can buy the pillow-lipped Angelina Jolie as a psychic FBI agent in Montreal to hunt a serial killer, then you can swallow the other implausibilities in this retread thriller.
  6. Mother's Day
    Director Garry Marshall is a menace. He keeps killing holidays with all-star comedies in which a laugh would die of loneliness.
  7. Be Cool
    You know a sequel isn't working when, ten minutes into the movie, a voice inside your head starts screaming, "Please make it stop!"
  8. The Sorcerer's Apprentice
    Cage and Baruchel work hard to stay accessible, but the computer-generated effects come on like heavy artillery blowing away any hint of flesh and blood. The Sorcerer's Apprentice should be rated U for Untouched by Human Hands.
  9. Twelve
    Sorry, no XOXO for this slick, hollow hooey.
  10. Transcendence
    All I can cull is: don't mess with Mother Nature and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Fortune-cookie stuff. Erase All.
  11. Bullet to the Head
    I can't detect the hand of Hill in even a single scene in Bullet in the Head. It plays like a Stallone vanity project, impure and stupefyingly simple.
  12. Arthur
    Gordon, who died shortly after the first Arthur, never had to see the luckless 1988 sequel that made his beloved characters seem like strangers. The new Arthur, insipid when it should be infectious, leaves the same deadly impression.
  13. Couples Retreat
    The cast got to spend a month shooting on Bora Bora. So that explains why they're in the movie. Why you'd spend good money for a ticket to watch them have all the fun and not have any fun yourself passes understanding.
  14. A Guy Thing
    If you ever admired Julia Stiles, Selma Blair and Jason Lee -- and who didn't? -- don't watch them crush their careers in this laugh-free romantic comedy.
  15. The Lone Ranger
    Here they're just putting "Pirates of the Caribbean" in a saddle and pretending we won't notice.
  16. 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
    Is there an audience for this? Sadly, yes. There’s nothing wrong with a movie that cheers American heroes. But this one does so by reducing everything else to cardboard.
  17. Max Payne
    If you stay and watch the endless end credits, there's a short scene that hints a sequel is coming. That's what I call real pain.
  18. Your Highness
    Nothing works. Nothing.
  19. Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd
    The jokes? "Chicks are for fags," says Lloyd. The film is subtitled When Harry Met Lloyd. Believe me, you don't want to be there.
  20. Meet Dave
    Murphy, teaming again with his "Norbit" director Brian Robbins, is assuming we'll all line up for lazyass toilet jokes and pay for the privilege. Prove him wrong, people, please.
  21. xXx: Return of Xander Cage
    Diesel has chosen to keep selling stupid to audiences who are inexplicably eager to gobble it up. Damn shame.
  22. Click
    Can no one save the talented Sandler from himself? I hate this movie. Click. I hate this movie. Click. I hate this movie. Click.
  23. The Snowman
    Well, it's a little confusing. And slightly incoherent in terms of how it lays out the book's narrative about a serial killer who is targeting mothers and whose calling card is a snowman. And sort of not very good overall. It's bad.
  24. The Time Traveler's Wife
    I'd watch the vibrant Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana in anything, but The Time Traveler's Wife is pushing it.
  25. National Security
    It's too bad Martin already made “What's the Worst That Could Happen?” The title really fits this one.
  26. Evan Almighty
    It's Carell who projects the movie's only sense of mischief. But it's too little and too late.
  27. Wrath of the Titans
    This feeble followup to 2010's godawful "Clash of the Titans" sucketh the mighty big one.
  28. Hostage
    Take a tired formula...Stir with a director, Florent Siri, who has no shame about stealing every sadistic suspense trick from the Die Hard series. Serve to a gullible audience willing to pay top dollar for secondhand goods.
  29. The Dark Tower
    This unholy mess shouldn't happen to a King, much less a paying customer.
  30. RoboCop 2
    It's difficult to imagine a summer film programmed more cynically than this repugnant sequel. RoboCop 2 is all machine, and it's all vile.
