  1. Rock the Kasbah
    The film quickly settles into a depressingly one-note groove as a culture-clashing circus act.
  2. Inner Demons
    There's a disingenuous offering of pathos to accompany the film's ridiculous and violent denouement.
  3. Archaeology of a Woman
    It purports to be an incisive character study dramatized through outré "dream logic," but Sharon Greytak's ineptitude at this very Lynchian aesthetic sucks all nuance and spirit out of the film.
  4. Dirty Grandpa
    As in Judd Apatow's films, crassness is boasted as shamelessness, and calculated sentimentality is dressed up as empathy.
  5. Burying the Ex
    It alternates awkwardly between shrill, borderline misogynistic sex farce and desperately gory, pun-rife creature feature.
  6. Playing It Cool
    As characters endlessly digress on the differences between rom-coms and real life, the film evinces a schizophrenic relationship with its own inside-baseball cynicism.
  7. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
    The flick is an artless, puerile shadow of the likes of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's Cornetto trilogy.
  8. Kong: Skull Island
    Every creature here that's intended to burrow themselves into the audience’s nightmares are less wonders of imagination than of size.
  9. Vacation
    Father doesn't just know best, he's the only one whose knowledge or lack thereof means anything at all.
  10. Inferno
    It's impossible to even laugh at Inferno given how Ron Howard reduces the material to a dull spectacle of earnest puzzle-solving.
  11. Hitman: Agent 47
    If first-timer Aleksander Bach's choices as a director are any indication, he's a filmmaker who cares less about characters and actors than about dubious surface dazzle.
  12. Viva la Libertà
    It ultimately lacks the vision and conviction to honestly and meaningfully dissect a contemporary political movement's deep-seated structural malaise.
  13. Suicide Squad
    Like the recruited criminals themselves, the film longs to be bad, yet its forced by outside pressures to follow narrow, preset rules.
  14. We Are the Giant
    It ironically reveals its intent to suture shut any remote ambivalence regarding its own gung-ho ethos, in effect engaging the same sort of oppressively dogmatic tactics it so outwardly denigrates.
  15. Criminal
    Criminal's absence of style, the lack of relish the filmmakers take in the material's inherent ludicrousness, is a failure of conviction.
  16. Free the Nipple
    This is kind of didactic topical movie that distributes its rhetoric evenly between characters with clear distinction as to who's playing devil's advocate to the other one's points.
  17. The Immortalists
    Some voices of reason and skepticism do make an appearance to rebut and deflate Bill and Aubrey's monumental claims, but aren't allowed to fully elaborate on their arguments.
  18. The King's Daughter
    The film provides no space to explore its relationships, and as a result there’s little friction to the climax.
  19. A LEGO Brickumentary
    Here's a documentary so insidious, so comprehensively scrubbed clean, that it argues for the therapeutic powers of consumerism.
  20. Me Before You
    It punks its impressionable audience into believing a lie, then punishes them for their foolishness.
  21. The Intern
    Nancy Meyers is unquestionably committed to her auteurist signature of giving her female protagonists their cake and letting them eat it too.
  22. Supremacy
    The characters shout themselves hoarse, but they don't really say anything, and it isn't long before we feel like hostages ourselves, bound by the filmmakers' strained moral outrage.
  23. Enter the Dangerous Mind
    The title of Youssef Delara and Victor Teran's new film pretty much sums up its shallow and exploitative take on mental illness.
  24. My Name Is Hmmm...
    The feeling here was perhaps intended to be impressionistic and elusive, but the result is instead rambling and unfocused.
  25. The Bronze
    The prevailing attitude behind the film can be boiled down to a simplistic idea: the cruder, the better.
  26. Rings
    Rings is unsure as to whether it’s a sequel to the other entries in the series or a contemporary reboot.
  27. Misery Loves Comedy
    Commingling industry shoptalk with introspective insights and wrangling testimonials, the film casts an incredibly wide net, but doesn't reveal much of anything.
  28. Beyond the Reach
    If all a movie needed was a boy with abs and a gun (or slingshot), then Beyond the Reach would be a masterpiece.
  29. Every Thing Will Be Fine
    The premise, of a terrible event unleavened by the easy out of someone being at fault, should be prime fodder for Wim Wenders's brand of poetic regret.
