  1. Now & Later
    Even if you ignore the bad acting, dogmatic dirty-talk dialogue so wooden it'd put a Redwood forest to shame and director Phillippe Diaz's total lack of visual sense, you'd still have to digest a junior-collegiate lecture with less savvy than a horny 14-year-old.
  2. The Last Lions
    Overflowing with super-slow motion, color filters and the clunkiest of flashbacks, The Last Lions frequently amplifies the melodrama to borderline-excessive proportions.
  3. Unknown
    Unknown is probably the movie "The Tourist" wanted to be, if it had a pulse. Its sheer momentum makes Neeson and Kruger more attractive than even Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.
  4. Just Go with It
    Sandler's puppy-dog persona is just about ready to be put down. From its title on, this is entertainment for extremely lazy audiences.
  5. The Sky Turns
    What elevates The Sky Turns beyond a lovely little elegy and into the realm of greatness is Álvarez's refusal to shape the film as a tragedy.
  6. Vidal Sassoon: The Movie
    Unpacks the man's story with a dramatic flair that might be mistaken for Zoolanderiffic, if it weren't so aptly accessible.
  7. Poetry
    Yun is quite simply spectacular as a woman who holds steadfastly on to her dignity and empathy, even in the face of unspeakable tragedy.
  8. Orgasm Inc.
    Sometimes, the debunking is overshadowed by cringe-inducing graphics involving pills with little legs running toward a finish line.
  9. Lovers of Hate
    It's a movie that doesn't inspire anything as passionate as love or hate.
  10. Certifiably Jonathan
    This confounding, overwrought mockumentary abruptly devolves into sitcom silliness.
  11. Carancho
    As a thriller, however, the film only comes alive in fits and starts.
  12. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
    Chu does his best to humanize his subject, showing him surrounded by devoted friends and family, and wringing much drama from an on-the-road vocal-cord strain.
  13. Gnomeo and Juliet
    The movie's overall lack of imagination is the real tragedy.
  14. Cedar Rapids
    The movie just ping-pongs between empathetic chuckles at Helms's charming social awkwardness and putting him through a raunchfest ringer.
  15. The Eagle
    Do you like movies about gladiators? Well, lend me your ears: The Eagle will more than gratify your sword-and-sandal cravings.
  16. Sanctum
    This 3-D cave-diving adventure plays on a lot of fears, so avoid it if you have an aversion to claustrophobia, drowning or really bad acting.
  17. The Roommate
    The film's sure-to-be-brief theatrical release is a mere stopover on the way to basic-cable eternity.

    Waiting for Forever
    Maybe it's this soapy saga's cocktail of the worst of both the Lifetime network and self-consciously quirky indie cinema, but the strong supporting cast (including Jenkins and Blythe Danner) looks downright queasy in every frame.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Other Woman
    The problem, however, lies squarely with Portman herself, who (Oscar nod or no) seems unlikely to ever achieve a tone between histrionic and affectless.
  20. Dressed
    Big on emotional highs but skimpy on details, Dressed rallies behind the orphan but fails to reveal the artist.
  21. Cold Weather
    Just as soon as that rarest Lebowskian blend of casual pursuit and big-world conspiracy begins to emerge from the fog, Cold Weather appears to lose its nerve (or run out of money).
  22. Troubadours
    It's such a haphazard, absent-minded history lesson that you'd think the filmmakers had ingested some of the era's pharmaceuticals before concocting this tribute.
  23. Into Eternity
    Into Eternity has the grandeur of ominous suggestion, but might have benefitted from a director more creatively unbound-an Errol Morris ready to play around at the end of the world.
  24. How I Ended This Summer
    The movie's first hour happens to be its most absorbing. Director Alexei Popogrebsky sets up the quiet tensions between his two generationally divided characters like a chess match pocked with occasional power grabs.
  25. Home
    We certainly need all the ecological jeremiads we can get. But must they be so numbingly pedantic?
  26. Rage
    More than a few moments feel implausible or overwrought; yet the movie, about two people so desperate to be alive, is eerily haunting.
  27. Strongman
    Once upon a time, raw talent was enough to get your name in lights; as this look at the underside of showbiz reminds us, you also need to know how to sell it.
  28. When We Leave
    The film has the look of unflinching truth, yet it too often feels like a calculated ploy to stoke viewers' liberal-guilty consciences.
  29. Kaboom
    While Araki has finally perfected a shoegazey visual aesthetic that's simultaneously sensual and too cool for school, it's hard not to feel that his reprise of yesterday's greatest snits borders on being stuck in a rut.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ip Man 2
    Yip's chop-socky sequel does manage to up the (admittedly modest) ante of the original.
