  1. The Binge
    The Binge is as ridiculous as its premise implies, which can be fun at times, while others it's a bit like a wild ride you wish you could get off.
  2. Best. Christmas. Ever.
    Best. Christmas. Ever! is not the most splendiferous Christmas movie ever, but it will satisfy those hungry for new sentimental holiday movies every year.
  3. Ghosted
    The story has no heart, genuine romance, or humor, the spy subplot is mechanical, and the actors don’t mesh together as well as you might expect. All told, Ghosted doesn’t even meet the lowest standard for what would make a romantic comedy remotely decent and that is disappointing considering the talent involved.
  4. Thunder Force
    Its leading ladies are in fine form, as always, and they're backed by some lively performers. It's the story that struggles to come through, along with a reluctance to just let loose in every way possible.

    Red One
    There's lots of bells and whistles, but in attempting to deconstruct and reconstruct Christmas spirit there's just never enough charm to carry the spell.
  6. Mercy
    The process of searching through all manner of cloud-based applications and information in a video-game-like manner is a tantalizing prospect, one just wishes it wasn't done for something so harebrained.
  7. The Merry Gentlemen
    For fans of Murray's career, The Merry Gentlemen gives the actor another chance to shine in an otherwise unremarkable movie.
  8. The Man from Toronto
    Most of all, the movie reaffirms the fact that we still don’t have the iconic, big-budget Hart movie his career has been working towards.
  9. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    Despite featuring tense chase and gore sequences that are fairly well-made, Texas Chainsaw Massacre butchers Leatherface's legacy in the dullest of ways.
  10. Secret Society of Second Born Royals
    Secret Society of Second-Born Royals is pure family-friendly fun, combining princesses and superheroes for a delightful, if unoriginal, adventure.
  11. Return to Silent Hill
    Gans and co-writers Sandra Vo-Anh and Will Schneider clearly wanted to try and make a faithful translation of the second game in the series, but between unnecessary lore changes and a lack of thematic heft in some of its storytelling, the filmmaker's return to the franchise is a weird mix of exciting recreations, gorgeous visuals and disappointing execution.
  12. Love Hurts
    The film is ultimately an action comedy that is as sickly saccharine and over-the-top as Valentine’s Day itself. For a cool hour and 23 minutes, Love Hurts allows us to enjoy every minute of its absurdity, and you’ll never look at a boba straw the same way ever again.
  13. Sacrilege
    Uninspired in terms of narrative ingenuity, Sacrilege mimics cult horror tropes with detached superficiality, failing to either scare or compel.
  14. Five Nights at Freddy's
    As far as middling entertainment goes, Five Nights at Freddy’s fits the bill.
    • 33 Metascore

    Old Guy
    The film's dialogue is insincere and cookie-cutter, failing to deliver naturalistic character growth. And surmounting its inefficacy at simulating humanity is perhaps Old Guy's most glaring action movie sin: it's truly boring.
  16. Regretting You
    Perhaps the lesson of the film is that regret is a waste of emotional bandwidth, but regret is easy to feel when the story is a fumbled as this.
  17. The Tiger Rising
    The Tiger Rising is too serious and abstract for kids yet too ham-fisted for adults.
  18. Mea Culpa
    It’s a difficult film to take seriously, as it buries its potential in absurd drama, dialogue, and sequencing.
  19. Killer Heat
    Killer Heat delivers something new and refreshing that deserves to stand out for its creativity and clever storytelling.
  20. Like a Boss
    There's a real sweetness at the center of the film, but Like A Boss surrounds that heart with middling raunch comedy.
  21. Redeeming Love
    For what it is, and for who it is for, Redeeming Love is in its own way an effective showing of the power of love. Undoubtedly, however, a more compelling romantic drama about a woman finding peace with herself could have been told.
  22. Cats
    In spite of its shoddy sound design (Hooper, as he did with Les Mis, has his cast sing live, but their vocals are poorly blended with the instrumentation), Cats' actors are perfectly matched to their respective roles.
  23. Every Breath You Take
    The cast does a lot of the heavy lifting in the film, which evades exploring the characters' trauma. The emotional drama is a vehicle fueling a messy story in a film primarily concerned with elevating the mystery that so easily unravels by the end.
  24. Firestarter
    Sadly, this adaptation fails to stand out from all the other sci-fi horrors about people being used for experiments. It doesn't even compare to the original 1984 film nor does it stand tall alongside great recent Stephen King adaptations like 2017's IT and 2019's Doctor Sleep. Firestarter is more like Pet Sematary and Carrie, a dull, exhausting remake that doesn't do anything new.
  25. The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard
    Reynolds has made a name for himself with fun action movies and, though this isn't necessarily his strongest or most successful franchise, it does deliver laughs and an exciting ride despite Michael Bryce essentially being the same character Reynolds has played countless times before. Even if Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is absurd, it makes for the big, dumb fun movie experience perfect for the summer season.
  26. The King's Daughter
    There could have been a lot to love about The King’s Daughter, but it seems the creative team simply did not know what to do with it.
  27. Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire
    With Rebel Moon, Snyder is positively bursting with exciting ideas, but they lack compelling characters and a solid plot to hold them up.
  28. Smurfs
    The script has its moments, and I chuckled a bit at a few points. But what the film lacks is genuine heart and warmth.
  29. The Garfield Movie
    At times, it feels as though The Garfield Movie is going through the motions, and it fails to offer anything particularly noteworthy about its main character.
  30. Paradise City
    Director Chuck Russell’s projects always bring a sense of vivacity and killer action sequences in ways his peers often struggle with. But this time around, the magic is missing from Paradise City. Sure, his film contains reliable and entertaining components like most action features do — including an underlying vengeance plot, an expert conman, and even a budding romance — but these elements tend to quickly run their courses thanks to a predictable script, wonky dialogue, and pacing issues.
