  1. Dracula
    Not even a typically scenery-chewing Christoph Waltz can enliven the proceedings.
  2. Into the Storm
    There are many instances of questionable logic in Into the Storm, but the most persistent is the film's unexplained assumption that tornado-hunting is a growth industry.
  3. The Raven
    While full of welcome gore and blood spatter, it's bankrupt of any creative spark.
  4. Robin Hood: Men in Tights
    It should be said that this negligible absence of Brooks’s boundary hopping wit and untamed performances doesn’t quite render Men in Tights unwatchable. There’s an appropriate, albeit languid merriment to the proceedings kept alive by a few choice cameos (Dick van Patten, Dom DeLouise, Brooks himself) and a handful of gags that land on their feet.
  5. The Dancer
    Like Loïe Fuller's serpentine dance, the film is structured on repetition: spinning and spinning but never actually taking us nowhere.
  6. We're the Millers
    Though the cast partially eschews the family-friendly timidity that the film defers to in the end, this would-be wild thing remains little more than a rowdy endorsement of the status quo.
  7. The Hangover Part II
    If The Hangover was a boorish blackout fantasy for our binge-drinking age, The Hangover Part II is something like the contents of a fraternity house's toilet the morning after an insane kegger-namely, regurgitated elements of a more entertaining prior adventure.
  8. Hot Summer Nights
    Like the teenagers at its center, Hot Summer Nights tries too hard to look cooler than it ever could be.
  9. BearCity 2: The Proposal
    Doug Langway's film is often too cheesy to, well, bear.
  10. Hey Bartender
    Sadly, Douglas Tirola's documentary doesn't follow its subjects' advice regarding the refinement of technique.
  11. 100 Streets
    Throughout the film's three interconnected stories, Jim O'Hanlon favors the blunt, maudlin manipulations of Crash.
  12. Wolf Creek 2
    There are cheap shocks in the film, but there are also terrifying moments that poetically command our empathy.
  13. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
    Johannes Roberts’s prequel ultimately remains buried by its indifference to unchecked corporate power.
  14. Rifkin's Festival
    As Rifkin’s Festival drones on, the wastefulness grows offensive in a manner that’s unusual even for Woody Allen’s misfires.
  15. 13 Sins
    Daniel Stamm's film is solidly helmed, if expectedly over-reliant on unnecessarily grisly comeuppances that leave nothing to the imagination.
  16. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    A sequel that functions as origin story, apologia, and harbinger of a second expanded universe of overpopulated action bonanzas.
  17. This Is Where I Leave You
    And the jury's still very much out over whether Shawn Levy is an inept comedy director masquerading as an opportunistically dramatic one, or vice versa.
  18. Cook County
    Unlike AMC's Breaking Bad, meth here doesn't reflect current, perilous economic realties; rather, it's just a low-rent drug used by degenerates whose lives say nothing about anything.
  19. Gut Renovation
    Due to the one-minded construction of the documentary, there's little to parse beyond impassioned harrumphs.
  20. Preservation
    Chockablock with instances of characters not shooting, running, attacking, or sneaking away when they can or should, this thriller comes off like the world's most rigged game.
  21. Police Story: Lockdown
    The film's subtitle is apropos, as this is a decidedly locked-down and lead-footed talk-o-rama.
  22. Mortal Kombat
    In spite of its occasionally engaging displays of gnarly brutality, the film too often feels like an adaptation of a player select screen.
  23. The Bronze
    The prevailing attitude behind the film can be boiled down to a simplistic idea: the cruder, the better.
  24. Bloodshot
    Given its hero’s imperviousness, the film’s chaotically edited action sequences tend to be devoid of suspense.
  25. Jobs
    Steered by a lead actor and director, Joshua Michael Stern, who are both way out of their respective leagues, Jobs is excruciating, failing to entertain and all but pissing on its subject's grave.
  26. Life Happens
    L!fe Happens wants us to believe its message is one of female independence and empowerment.
  27. Aftermath
    The film evokes nothing more strongly than a live-action adaptation of a Crate and Barrel catalog.
    • 44 Metascore

    Lula, the Son of Brazil
    This insipidly inspirational biopic of the two-term Brazilian president is a safe, bourgeois vision of proletarian struggle.
  29. Killer Elite
    Killer Elite is pleasurable enough, but with a steadier hand, it could've been one for the books.
  30. Blood
    Themes of family ties, obsession, and morality, so dramatically realized in Conviction, are gracelessly and shapelessly strewn together here.
