  1. Kings
    What we have in the misbegotten mess called Kings is a film of countless good intentions – one that starts going bad in its first scene, gets worse form there and then dissolves into pure chaos.
  2. Pain & Gain
    In between scenes of the muscleheads torturing their victim, Bay indulges his taste for treating women as sluts and grisly brutality as a nifty excuse for a cheap laugh. Pain and Gain is personal all right. You leave these characters with the distinct impression that they're Bay's kind of people.
  3. Something Borrowed
    The half-star rating goes to John Krasinski for heroically rising above this vile dung heap of a movie.
  4. Girl 6
    Girl 6 is shameless stuff -- pompous, sentimental and attitudinizing. To swat the Spikeman with his own symbol, the film feels like he phoned it in.
  5. Pacific Rim: Uprising
    This is Transformers-level inanity. This is a blow to your head from a mallet. It will not make you feel like a 10-year-old, but it will make you feel 10 years older than when you first entered the theater. It is certainly not personal in any way, shape or form, just strictly chilly, corporate to a fault and somehow both chintzy and wildly overblown.
  6. Life as We Know It
    This is crap as we know it, a 113 minute package of romcom suck.

    The Other Sister
    It's not the emphasis on tics and grimaces that mars their essentially well-meaning performances, it’s the sitcom crassness of director and co-writer Garry Marshall.
  8. Feeling Minnesota
    If you see one Minnesota movie this year, make it "Fargo." This botch job should be stamped direct to video.
  9. The Hottie & the Nottie
    That generous half star rating I tacked onto this comedy abomination is all for Paris Hilton. Come on, it takes guts (or gross dim-wittedness) to appear on screen again after "House of Wax."
  10. Field of Dreams
    To be honest, I started hearing things, too. Just when Jones was delivering an inexcusably sappy speech about baseball being "a symbol of all that was once good in America," I heard the words "If he keeps talking, I'm walking."
  11. Hounddog
    What I can't figure is why anyone would want to release this tripe in theaters just when Fanning has nearly lived it down. They ain't no friends of mine, or any other moviegoer.
  12. Fair Game
    Fair Game, written and directed by men, allows model Cindy Crawford to make her screen debut as Miami lawyer Kate McQueen.
  13. Primal Fear
    You'd get more of a jolt from Angela Lansbury on "Murder, She Wrote" and more intellectual stimulation from a cozy game of Clue.
  14. Underworld: Blood Wars
    Like the four franchise fillers that preceded it, Underworld: Blood Wars is undoubtedly impervious to bad reviews. What it needs is a stake through the heart.
  15. One Day
    This tear-jerking twaddle, adapted by David Nicholls from his 2009 bestseller, is nearly as bad as Anne Hathaway's British accent, which is heading for infamy.
  16. London Fields
    This London Fields is nothing but fallow ground. Or, to apply the metaphor that Thornton’s scribe gives to Heard’s sexed-up temptress when he first meets her, it’s a black hole — something that sucks talent, taste, light, energy and matter into maw and leaves everything stranded in a void.
  17. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
    I don't know what to say about the acting, writing and directing in G.I. Joe because I couldn't find any.
  18. The Ugly Truth
    Toss this ugly-ass crap to the curb, along with the other multiplex garbage, and see a romance that gets it right. I'm talking "(500) Days of Summer."
  19. The Roommate
    Sucks bad, real bad.
  20. Beverly Hills Cop III
    Whatever juice is left in the "Cop" franchise or in the once unstoppable career of Eddie Murphy peters out ignominiously in this poor excuse for a sequel.
  21. The Love Guru
    Ninety minutes pass like an eternity. Verdict: Down for the count.
  22. Winchester
    It shouldn't happen to anyone, much less a Dame – not a movie of such barreling awfulness as Winchester, which strands the great Helen Mirren in a gothic house of cards that collapses on actors and audiences alike.
  23. The Bye Bye Man
    Horror-movie fans often have put up with a lot to get their requisite amount of fright per month, and that tolerance limit is seriously tested by this slapdash attempt to introduce a new slasher hall-of-fame character into the mix.
  24. Repo! The Genetic Opera
    Misery is enduring this Rocky Horror Paris Show.
  25. The Last Days of American Crime
    The idea of putting these images out there at this very moment, and pimping it out as “entertainment” is, frankly, nauseating. It goes from being a crime against an art form to something a little more toxic. No. Nope. Nuh-uh. Netflix, what the hell were you thinking?
  26. Violent Night
    This is the sort of lazy, slapdash, self-impressed excuse for “edgy” entertainment that makes you enraged. It’s not even so-bad-it’s-good; this is so bad you’re tempted to kick those responsible for it right in the jingle bells.
  27. Chaos Walking
    Chaos Walking doesn’t even get to the level of high camp, where pleasure is found in the sheer badness of it all.
  28. The Shipping News
    The language is leaden, the pace glacial and the characters indecipherable. It's easier to read the actors -- they all seem eager to win an Oscar. Fat chance.
  29. Rollerball
    Say this for the soundtrack, it drowns out the lousy dialogue.
  30. Vatel
    This putrid dish marks a new low for director Roland Joffe.
