  1. Little Birds
    A film of precious, romanticized misery and squalor.
  2. Need For Speed
    Even when compared to other films posing as Ford Mustang commercials, Need for Speed isn't particularly memorable for anything other than the startling incompetence and dull sheen of the end result.
  3. Falling Overnight
    Falling Overnight recalls some of the more annoying entries in the mumblecore subgenre that erroneously believe that every indiscriminate moment in a person's life is worthy of a film regardless of subtext.
  4. Craigslist Joe
    As hard as he tries, we never truly believe there's a lot at stake for Garner, who seems to cruise through America like a gringo taking a favela tour in Rio.
  5. The Awakening
    The film takes pains to ensure that the story feel like laborious toil rather than a trip through the dark side of the ethereal.
  6. Supercapitalist
    Ultimately plodding and resolutely old-fashioned, a corporate thriller for folks too square to indulge the possible existence of hungers so strong they must be satisfied at any cost.
  7. Kick-Ass 2
    The film doubles down on the love-hate relationship with ultra-violence that typified its predecessor, but A History of Violence this is not.
  8. Bringing Up Bobby
    Just an extended dramatization of the 1980s anti-drug PSA that memorably cautioned "I learned it by watching you!"
  9. The Details
    The Details is as smug and self-satisfied as its privileged lead character.
  10. Lay the Favorite
    Hollywood celebrities romping around in a candy-colored Alexa-shot criminal underworld, pretty much as a means of passing time.
  11. Rio 2
    The net effect is a shapeless would-be diversion in which things just happen independently, a string of effects missing any cause.
  12. Backwards
    Streamlines its busy set of plots and subplots into a 90-minute sprint, throughout which characters often confront and overcome their obstacles within the same scene.

    Snitch
    Snitch is the latest in a long line of films whose sole purpose is to flatten a major social problem into a pulp ideal for self-serious spectacle.
  14. In Our Nature
    In Our Nature's visual style seems plastered on or allocated, not developed with any sort of authorial singularity.
  15. BearCity 2: The Proposal
    Doug Langway's film is often too cheesy to, well, bear.

    Trade of Innocents
    Trade of Innocents is as much a piece of social-justice campaigning as it is a work unto itself, an important fact to remember when considering its many flaws.
  17. Bel Borba Aqui
    There's no pointing toward something other than the work itself, no poetic digression, no suggestion of a conceptual dimensionality to the work being produced.
  18. Yogawoman
    It's less a film than an unimaginatively assembled series of talking heads.
  19. The Family
    A film whose only distinguishing characteristic is how big a mess it makes of its already meager ambitions.
  20. Getaway
    Though always speeding forward in some gear of ridiculousness, the film is a lot more fun when it's completely nonsensical, before its baddie's motives and harebrained plot are funnel-fed to the viewer.
  21. A Man's Story
    A Man's Story does a major disservice to an artiste of fashion with a pretty amazing and prolific oeuvre by reducing him to a Bravo-like personality - a personality whose pettiness Boateng's work, though perhaps not his ego, clearly exceeds.
  22. Delivery Man
    The breadth of Vince Vaughn's gregarious persona has never been given free reign by any director and this certainly isn't the game-changer.
  23. Save the Date
    What's worst about the film is how it appropriates its main character's noncommittal selfishness to support its own quaint, anti-establishment themes.
  24. A Dark Truth
    A Dark Truth is one of those unfortunate projects whose component parts are immediately at odds with one another.
  25. Festival of Lights
    Fifteen minutes into Festival of Lights you come to the discouraging realization that you know every infuriating plot beat that will follow.
  26. Parked
    The film takes dramatic material that sounds fairly standard-issue to begin with and proceeds to uncover precious little of genuinely fresh intrigue within it.
  27. Otelo Burning
    The film grows increasingly tiresome the more it flirts with melodrama, unraveling themes of jealousy, regret, and ambition in broad strokes.
  28. Addicted to Fame
    The cinematic equivalent of staging a disaster and then bitching about the mess.
  29. The Sheik and I
    The film is ultimately more concerned with Caveh Zahedi's attempts to pursue a variety of dull passing fancies than with any larger agenda.
  30. A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III
    The film speeds ahead with almost gleeful disinterest in dealing with the narrative challenges it sets up before resolving them in the most perfunctory ways imaginable.
