  1. The Snowman
    The Snowman is missing so much basic connective tissue as to be rendered almost completely inexplicable.
  2. Temple
    The film is only in the business of supplying the sort of fear that hinges entirely on the shock of the exotic.
  3. Jack and Jill
    If the result is a movie that seems like a much slicker, more condensed, and speedier version of the Sandler comedies that have guaranteed his grandkids' retirement, count it as a blessing that it's over quickly. Not without pain, but quickly.
  4. Sacrifice
    The film's very design turns out to be a whimpered bark followed by a toothless bite.
  5. The Sea of Trees
    There's little here to suggest that the film is anything more than a hastily cobbled-together studio star vehicle.
  6. The Cobbler
    Thomas McCarthy evinces no interest in the people who come into Max's store and wind up as fodder for his increasingly violent and self-absorbed escapades. Not a shred.
  7. Yoga Hosers
    Any of the film's attempts at moralizing are subsumed by Kevin Smith’s obsession with taking aim at his critics.

    A Novel Romance
    For a film about writing a novel, A Novel Romance is surprisingly shallow in regard to its characters and superficial in terms of its chapter-structured façade.

    Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
    Tommy Wirkola's film suggests A Knight's Tale as penned by Seth MacFarlane.
  10. American Heist
    The film offers a veritable smorgasbord of dated, only-in-the-movies clichés about the debt-ridden working class.
  11. Brother's Justice
    Dax Shepard delivers an I'm Still Here-style mockumentary of staggering incompetence with Brother's Justice.
  12. Beneath the Darkness
    Overly expository dialogue abounds throughout Martin Guigui's movie, as do questionable filmmaking choices and plenty of stupidly unconvincing actions taken on the part of the film's characters.
  13. The Moment
    The film is a hybrid of a Lifetime movie focused on a "strong woman," a run-of-the-mill murder mystery, and a yogurt commercial from hell.
  14. Reagan
    The film’s treatment of its subject is belligerently hamfisted, disingenuous, and incurious.
  15. That's What She Said
    An embarrassing girls-behaving-badly indie romp you'd expect a group of friends to write after an all-you-can-drink brunch.
  16. Father Figures
    Father Figures, which finished shooting more than two years ago before spending endless months without a release date, is both meandering and bloated, suggesting the Frankensteinian result of brutal test screenings.
  17. Dark House
    The film's dialogue is knowing and the action sequences are elaborate, but not only in ways that advance the shady story toward its hokey denouement.
  18. 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.
  19. Friday the 13th
    It's a formula with no pretensions.
  20. 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.

    New Year's Eve
    The lesson to learn from watching Garry Marshall's New Year's Eve, a predictably insufferable, self-congratulatory cash cow designed to be ingested and then happily discharged without a second thought by gullible moviegoers who just don't know any better, is that we live in a time without economic dignity, a time in which we must be ready to do just about anything for a paycheck.
  22. Martyrs
    It's hardly a desecration of Pascal Laugier's 2008 French horror film of the same name, but that assumes the original is a canonical text.
  23. The Legend of Hercules
    Given its virtuous subject matter and the relative bloodlessness of its violence, perhaps Renny Harlin means for this film to be a means of atoning for his previous cinematic sins.
  24. 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.
  25. Summer in February
    As sumptuous as it is immensely shallow, the film practically revels in its attention to lush English landscapes as a means to distract from its derivative storytelling.
  26. Shark Night 3D
    It's refreshing to see Shark Night 3D director David R. Ellis try to pull off a semi-sincere second-generation "Jaws" rip-off, even if he doesn't quite succeed.
  27. Backgammon
    The imagery fails to express either the characters' or the filmmakers' obsessions or synchronicities.
  28. A Love Affair of Sorts
    David Guy Levy's movie foregrounds the potential ugliness of modern technology in order to comment on it. But that doesn't make the film's visuals any less hideous.

    The Cold Light of Day
    Relates more or less the same story as Spy Kids, though in this case the kid is in his late 20s and the spy stuff is much less believable or robust.
  30. Exists
    In the wake of Bobcat Goldthwait's Wolf Creek, Exists's metaphorical ambitions are as under-realized as its story-circumscribing use of found footage.
