  1. Bride Wars
    Predictable, lazy and as overprocessed as Kate Hudson's hair, this thoroughly joyless movie also possesses a deep nasty streak, making it loathsome when it might have been merely annoying.
  2. Marcel Proust's Time Regained
    It's the sort of movie that can make normally well-read and intelligent viewers feel stupid.
  3. Double Jeopardy
    Beginning with an intriguing premise, which it manages to squander in record time, it turns out to be a thinly imagined, thinly acted, silly exercise in car crashes, chases and nasty outbursts of generic violence.
  4. Down to Earth
    For a comedy, there are precious few real laughs. Three to be exact.
  5. The Guys
    An Upper West Sidey exercise in narcissism and self-congratulation disguised as a tribute.
  6. Pavilion of Women
    Bland as a fortune cookie and as trite as the message inside.
  7. Fast Food Fast Women
    Fast Food Fast Women is "Sex and the City" in Payless shoes. An incoherent jumble of characters and situations.
  8. Passion of Mind
    You won't feel enlightened, just let down
  9. The Wash
    The story here is just not particularly amusing.
  10. Greenfingers
    Ought to have been called "The Sap Also Rises."
  11. Novocaine
    A coarse, witless and stunningly violent black comedy.
  12. Price of Glory
    Smits can't wrench free of this tangle of cliches.
  13. 8 ½ Women
    Intentionally defies categorization and explication.
  14. The Story of Us
    Folks, I really feel that seeing this one for you is the movie critic's equivalent of jumping on the grenade to save your lives. Send me medals.
  15. Lost Souls
    It's a loose reassembly of plot points from "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist" that never achieves the emotional intensity of either.
  16. Trixie
    Although the hallmarks of Rudolph movies can be found everywhere -- they don't add up to the usual magic this time.
  17. Duets
    A conceptual train wreck, with half an idea scattered like disaster debris all over the screen.
  18. The Crew
    When a burning rat is the funniest thing in your movie, I think you're in big trouble, even in Miami.
  19. Play It to the Bone
    As dull as the decor in a Motel 6.
  20. Naqoyqatsi
    Pretentious, ponderous and redundant -- You may not need linear narrative to create a great movie, but you do need some original ideas.
  21. Crush
    Oddly off-balance, estrogen-powered dramedy.
  22. Half Past Dead
    Here, common sense flies out the window, along with the hail of bullets.
  23. Summer Catch
    A trite, bantamweight "Bull Durham," hasn't a single line, gibe, gesture or twist that hasn't already been chewed up and spat out in many a movie baseball dugout.
  24. Holy Smoke
    There's so much wrong with this movie.
  25. Deuces Wild
    Propelled not by characters but caricatures.
  26. The Country Bears
    If you're looking for some good family interspecies entertainment, take the little ones to see "Stuart Little 2" again; in the meantime, you might want to crawl into your cave and sleep through this one.
  27. Pushing Tin
    A fast-paced, twisty-turny, high-fiving, but ultimately spiraling disaster of a movie about air traffic controllers, gets lost in this hyperbolic cloud cover, never to be found again.
  28. Wing Commander: Space Will Never Be the Same
    Cinematic sleeping pill.
  29. Juwanna Mann
    If this sounds like "Tootsie" with a ball, well, it is. Screenwriter Bradley Allenstein should be hauled up in writer's court for his shameless cribbing of that far superior comedy. Someone call a foul.
  30. Snow Day
    There's little here to offend anyone, and even less here to excite anyone.
