  1. Stealth
    The dialogue is often drowned out by engine noise.
  2. The Aristocrats
    As long as it stayed mainstream dirty it was okay, but when it got into perversions the American Psychiatric Society hasn't even named yet, it left me behind.
  3. Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
    It's not Deuce's satisfied clientele, but the audience, that gets the shaft.
  4. Asylum
    It's just so darn annoying to watch this attractive, seemingly smart woman throw her life away for some (admittedly rather hot) sex in the greenhouse.

    Pretty Persuasion
    It just rings false, like having Hannibal Lecter take up vegetarianism.
  6. Supercross
    A poor man's "Lords of Dogtown," substituting hard-core motorcycle racing for extreme skateboarding and featuring a young cast of television-bred actors.
  7. The Brothers Grimm
    Not terrible so much as terminally silly.
  8. Undiscovered
    Tailored for the readership of Teen People magazine and about as thought-provoking as the average 500-word celebrity profile.
  9. The Man
    Unfortunately, The Man makes the mistake of assuming casting is all it takes to make a good comedy.
  10. An Unfinished Life
    This unusual convergence of stars doesn't amount to much.
  11. Green Street Hooligans
    Soccer needs this movie like Georgia needed "Deliverance."
  12. Just Like Heaven
    Outlandish, uneven, preposterous and often maddeningly morbid.
  13. Stupid Boy
    Should we really be so moved and uplifted that a horny, ignorant young man begins to join the human race? Not when our voice of conscience is an off-screen filmmaker issuing pseudo-profound, and ultimately banal, pronouncements about the true nature of love and seduction.
  14. G
    For anyone to enjoy this starchy, contrived exercise in vanity and product placement, it's best not to have read the book. In fact, it's best not to have read ANY book.
  15. Occupation: Dreamland
    It's a movie with the exciting parts cut out.
  16. Oliver Twist
    The fact that there's nothing wrong with it -- that there's nary a scenic detail or scrap of dialogue or performance that isn't utterly on the nose -- is precisely what's wrong with it.
  17. The Greatest Game Ever Played
    It's such a great story, you have to ask two questions: Why didn't they make this movie before? And why did they make it this way?
  18. Into the Blue
    May look good cavorting prettily on deck, but ultimately it deserves to walk the plank.
  19. MirrorMask
    So single-minded in its reach for fantasy, it becomes the genre's evil opposite: banality.
  20. Two for the Money
    The fight between good and evil feels fixed in favor of Hollywood redemption.
  21. Doom
    A loud, standard-issue sci-fi action film that has a confusing mission.
  22. Stay
    That mind-bending, mystical business was better handled in such films as 1990's "Jacob's Ladder."

    Kids in America
    Short on real teenage angst and emotion, the film is long on caricatures.
  24. The Legend of Zorro
    What a waste of talent, time and money. And guess what else? Not only is The Legend of Zorro stupid and boring but -- ta-da! -- it's also really long!
  25. Get Rich or Die Tryin'
    Shockingly inert.
  26. The Libertine
    It doesn't help matters that The Libertine seems to unload every olde English cliche on file.
  27. First Descent
    The stars of First Descent aren't particularly memorable, or even likable. At their worst, they come off as cocky, self-absorbed Peter Pans; at their best, they're sweet but shallow.
  28. The Family Stone
    There are many ways to define the shrieking awfulness of The Family Stone, from the general lack of wit to the cheap exploitation of cancer to its casual cruelty, but it's writer-director Thomas Bezucha's casting that really goes awry.
  29. Wolf Creek
    A nasty bit of counter-programming, Wolf Creek is for people sickened by the sentimental excesses of the day and the holiday season and want to hide from them in mayhem, slaughter, torture and degradation.
  30. Hoodwinked!
    Hoodwinked makes a little sense. Too bad, then, it's so crummy.
