  1. Delta Farce
    The hilariously dirty insult comic Lisa Lampanelli shows up all too briefly as Engvall's shrewish wife.
  2. Georgia Rule
    Proves to be more prone to malfunction than dysfunction.
  3. Even Money
    Overlong and overstuffed with cliches -- the movie doesn't seem to realize how close it comes to comedy.
  4. Flanders
    Pretentious to the core and lacking any context or credible characterizations.
  5. Skinwalkers
    A thoroughly undistinguished addition to a genre that probably reached its peak a quarter-century ago with "An American Werewolf in London."
  6. Who's Your Caddy?
    Ultimately this is utterly forgettable stuff, not even managing to fulfill its mandate of mindless summer fun.
  7. Daddy Day Camp
    Any scrap of charm or honest-to-goodness humor already possessed in limited quantities by the original has been relegated to the outhouse in this sorry follow-up.
  8. Romance & Cigarettes
    The sad result is a karaoke nightmare. Loud and pointlessly crude, the film takes the disintegration of a dysfunctional working-class family and gives it the song-and-dance treatment.
  9. Cover
    While this actor-filmmaker has delivered such worthy films as "A Rage in Harlem" and "Deep Cover" in the past, this misbegotten effort would be instantly forgettable if not for its potential as future camp classic.
  10. Trade
    Trade is an earnest attempt to dramatize the network of Internet sex "tunnels." Unfortunately, the film's horrific and important subject matter is distilled into a lackluster lump of generic buddy-movie/road-picture components.
  11. Hitman
    All the while, the music screams and clamors like an ignored child because director Xavier Gens and writer Skip Woods can't pump suspense into this inept mess.
  12. Southland Tales
    The English term "shambolic" best describes a slow-paced, bloated and self-indulgent picture that combines science fiction, sophomoric humor and grisly violence soaked in a music-video sensibility.
  13. Revolver
    The film's pretentious style and fractured storytelling preclude any audience involvement in the coy melodrama.
  14. One Missed Call
    The direction is uninspired, acting is lifeless, and the script borders on the inept.
  15. Elite Squad
    Poorly structured and at times incoherent.
  16. The Air I Breathe
    A top-notch varied group of actors, no doubt attracted by the colorfulness of their roles, has been assembled, but their hardworking efforts are ultimately done in by the supremely pretentious nature of the material.
  17. The Hottie & the Nottie
    Ultimately best suited for the confines of late-night cable.
  18. Vantage Point
    Straight out of the slice-and-dice school of filmmaking, Vantage Point fractures chronology and perspective in a vain attempt to disguise its flimsiness.
  19. Witless Protection
    At least a fright-wigged Joe Mantegna, delivering an execrable cameo as a whacked-out doctor, has a good excuse for his presence; the writer-director is one of his former film students.
  20. Pathology
    A particularly nasty slice of medical-themed horror, Marc Scholermann's film is the sort of thriller in which the tenderest scene depicts an autopsy.
  21. Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
    Managing to make the films of Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock look like dry, scholarly treatises by comparison, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed more than lives up to its subtitle.
  22. What Happens in Vegas
    Only Diaz shows spark because the actress knows how to simultaneously play nice and be a nasty character, thereby gaining audience sympathy. Everyone else hits one note, and it isn't nice.
  23. The Love Guru
    Not only does the film stumble badly from one skit to another, the skits themselves have too much dead air.
  24. The Promotion
    One of the unfunniest comedies ever. Punch lines are lifeless. Characters are borderline catatonic. Running gags can't even walk.
  25. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
    Too much of the proceedings are silly rather than horrifying, with the nadir being the appearance of some particularly athletic Yetis who briefly pitch in to lend a hand.
  26. College
    This low-rent frat house comedy is at once far more vulgar and decidedly less anarchic than its obvious inspiration and should flunk out of theaters before this year's crop of freshman students even finish unpacking their bags.
  27. Miracle at St. Anna
    Odd too, for a film that wants to correct impression anyone had as to the abilities of black U.S. soldier in combat, are the ethnic cliches about Italians and Germans, to say nothing of rednecks.
  28. Max Payne
    A banal revenge melodrama-cum-detective story, but fans of the video game on which it is based should not be alarmed.
  29. Eden Lake
    Eden Lake has the trappings of a low-IQ thriller but it's really a contemptible tract feeding the prejudices of the U.K.'s rightwing tabloids that claim the country is overrun by teenagers wielding knives.
  30. The Haunting of Molly Hartley
    Playing somewhat like a juvenile version of "Rosemary's Baby," this inept, incoherent attempt to cash in on young girls who can't buy a ticket to the R-rated "Saw V" (or are too lazy to sneak in) will be out of theaters long before the Halloween pumpkins start to rot.
