The far-left lead character in The Names of Love is so enchanting even Rush Limbaugh would give her the time of day.

In Time (2011)
In Time needs a few more rewrites before it can knock on the door of great sci-fi films like 'Blade Runner.'

Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)
The new 'Activity' is dumb, strained and obvious. But you'll be scared all the same, and nothing else matters.

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark (2011)
Horror fans can look past a whole lot of stupidity in their favorite genre. But Don't Be Afraid of the Dark simply asks too much of us.

Conan the Barbarian (2011)
If you're gonna make an unnecessary remake like Conan the Barbarian at least keep it breezy, an approach director Marcus Nispel wisely heeds here.

Consider Rise of the Planet of the Apes a belated apology for Tim Burton's misbegotten 2001 remake.

Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)
Crazy, Stupid, Love. is as chock full of great laugh lines as it is unnecessary punctuation.

Friends With Benefits (2011)

Zookeeper (2011)
Cher and Sly Stallone as a lion couple? Quirky voice casting helps Zookeeper rise above its kiddie film trappings - barely.

Horrible Bosses (2011)

Larry Crowne (2011)
Larry Crowne makes losing your job, your car and your house look like the greatest thing to happen to a middle aged man.

Dark of the Moon is just as loud, dumb and illogical as you expect. But when those neat 3D action sequences kick in, none of that matters.

Cars 2 (2011)

Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)
Jim Carrey shrewdly lets his tiny co-stars have most, but not all, the fun in Mr. Popper's Penguins

Super 8 (2011)
J.J. Abrams' Super 8 can't live up to its advanced billing, but it's still a crisp combination of 'Goonies,' 'Stand By Me' and ... I can't spoil the rest.

The Hangover Part II (2011)
The Hangover Part II feels like the fifth or sixth installment in the franchise. It's that out of fresh ideas.

Scream 4 (2011)
Scream 4 isn't the embarrassment one fears from such a belated return to a sleeping franchise. But it's neither scary nor inventive enough to warrant its existence.
