  1. Over Her Dead Body
    I like Longoria Parker on "Desperate Housewives" and truly believe she could have a career on the big screen if she promises to never again work with writer-director Jeff Lowell, who perpetrated this offense of a ghost comedy on her and on her otherwise gifted co-stars Paul Rudd and Lake Bell.
  2. The Hangover Part III
    What happened, bitches? Didn't the letdown of The Hangover Part II – basically Part I set in Thailand but minus the laughs – teach you anything? Guess not.
  3. The Pacifier
    It just plain sucks.
  4. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    Except for Connery, who is every inch the lion in winter, nothing here feels authentic.
  5. Gods and Generals
    What the filmmakers fail to recognize is that history on the page is quite different from what it needs to be onscreen, namely alive and visceral.
  6. White Noise
    "Sixth Sense" rip-off.
  7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
    Putridly written, directed and acted.
  8. The Electric State
    It’s a bad movie, full stop. Which is a pity, because the pedigree looks great on paper.
  9. John Q
    John Q. is as fake as that tear, an exploitative mess trying to pass as social activism.
  10. Blue Iguana
    Blue Iguana makes the freshly minted Oscar winner (for his totally worthy performance in Three Billboards) work way too hard to cut through the film’s blatant stupidity and buffet of clichés.
  11. The Butterfly Effect
    Nothing can save this repetitive bore. Dude, where's your memory?
  12. Two If by Sea
    The saddest element of Two if by Sea is watching Bullock get dragged down in the drivel.
  13. Knockaround Guys
    Off the shelf after two years to capitalize on the popularity of Vin Diesel, Seth Green and Barry Pepper. It should have stayed there.
  14. Endless Love
    This Endless Love is a photo shoot, not a movie. It'd play better as a slideshow of jpgs. Even nine-year-old girls ought to cry foul on this movie's endless blandness.
  15. The Replacements
    What The Replacements does have is energy.

  16. She Hate Me
    When a Spike Lee film doesn't fly, it sinks like a stone.
  17. Premonition
    The real horror here is watching Sandra Bullock drop her big Miss Congeniality smile to A-C-T! She does this by not smiling. What happened to the range she showed in "Crash" and "Infamous?"
  18. Peppermint
    Even if male stars from Neeson to Bruce Willis have been riding the same gravy train for decades, Garner has the talent to make us expect more. She needed support from the filmmakers. But what did she get? A lazy facsimile of the revenge movie she so richly deserved. There’s no reason audiences should accept it.
  19. New in Town
    This crap is supposed to be the chick flick antidote to Super Bowl fever. Ha!

    8 Million Ways to Die
    The plot doesn’t make much sense, but the film is filled with lovely little moments courtesy of Bridges, who brings a casualness to this character that feels right.
  21. Eye of the Beholder
    Elliot fails to make the needed connection between the audience and a peeper who has lost his moral balance.

  22. Swimfan
    It would be great to see this turd squashed under a truck, preferably a semi.
  23. Fool's Gold
    It's early in the year, but I defy any 2008 comedy to be as stupid, slack and sexless as Fool's Gold. And I'm counting Paris Hilton's appalling "The Hottie and the Nottie," which is marginally better.
  24. 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.
  25. Rock the Kasbah
    Director Barry Levinson and screenwriter Mitch Glazer lucked out getting Bill Murray to play Richie Lanz, a loser who makes losing hilarious. Murray just kills it.
  26. Bright
    The problem with setting a familiar story in a foreign universe is that you have to establish the parameters of said universe or risk losing your audience. That's world-building 101, folks. Bright does not care about that. Bright's attitude is closer to "fuck you for not somehow keeping up with our cool shit" before doing a lot of push-ups.
  27. Force of Nature
    There is nothing distinctive about this toxic available-on-demand tripe except the absence of Mark Polish, though Michael didn’t spare his wife Kate Bosworth from acting duty in a thankless role. One thing’s for sure: This downpour of offensive ethnic stereotyping is a total washout.
  28. I Am Sam
    Contrived, manipulative and shamelessly sentimental, this film is notable for the courageous reach of Sean Penn, who gives a bold, heartfelt performance.
  29. Stigmata
    There should be a place in hell for hacks who turn out derivative terror trash and then pretend they're doing an important investigative piece on Vatican corruption.

  30. Waking Up in Reno
    Thornton plays this low-ball farce with deceptive, masterful ease. Appreciate it.
