    Dhobi Ghat (Mumbai Diaries)
    Satisfying, well-acted drama.

    The Road Home
    The lyrical The Road Home is less political and less flashy than some previous films by Zhang Yimou.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Lou Lumenick
    Nine Queens
    It would be a crime in itself to reveal the surprises of Nine Queens, which provides two solid hours of corking entertainment.

    The Agronomist
    The Agronomist uses archival footage and music to tell a moving story that's all too common in the Third World.

    Novocaine
    Martin's most adventurous film in many years, may be next best thing to a quick shot of nitrous oxide.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Lou Lumenick
    The Music Never Stopped
    Unpretentious and unexpectedly moving.
    • 61 Metascore

    A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas
    There are moments of brilliance, like a claymation sequence that manages to simultaneously send up '60s holiday cartoons and "Ghostbusters'' (with Frosty the Snowman instead of Marshmallow Man).

    Drumline
    It's a tribute to the sheer professionalism of this crossover charmer that it holds your interest for two solid hours.

    Young Adam
    Besides terrific performances, it boasts terrific cinematography by Giles Nuttgens that contrasts stunningly beautiful and grimly ugly Scottish landscapes - complementing the hunky Joe's ugly soul, which manifests itself in a truly nasty sex scene involving pudding, catsup and Cathie.

    Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme
    A solid documentary that examines the art's roots, from ad-libs by black preachers to "toasts" delivered by Jamaican immigrants over instrumental tracks in the '70s South Bronx.

    Ocean's Twelve
    Forget the plot of Ocean's Twelve - you will by the time you leave the theater, if not sooner. This slickly entertaining sequel is all about savoring eye candy.

    A Previous Engagement
    While this slow-starting update of "Private Lives" has plenty of laughs, the incredibly expressive (and too-seldom seen) Stevenson turns Julia's romantic dilemma into something genuinely moving. She makes A Previous Engagement something special.

    The Last Mimzy
    An unexpectedly disarming, extremely well-cast little variation on "E.T."
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Lou Lumenick
    Ira & Abby
    Isn't as sharply directed as "Jessica Stein," but it's still a formidable crowd-pleaser.
    • 59 Metascore

    Beowulf
    Highly entertaining - but far from classic.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Lou Lumenick
    Cyrus
    John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei and Jonah Hill give such wonderfully satisfying, full-blooded performances in Cyrus that it seems almost churlish to wish this creepy little Oedipal comedy were a little more well-thought-out, and handled its wilder shifts in tone with more finesse.

    30 Minutes or Less
    Gut-bustingly funny -- perhaps this waning summer season's ultimate guilty pleasure.
    • 51 Metascore

    What Lies Beneath
    If you're able to check your brain at the popcorn stand, you'll stand a much better chance of enjoying this crowd pleaser.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 75 Lou Lumenick
    People I Know
    Nasty but compulsively watchable.
    • 53 Metascore

    The Winning Season
    Sam Rockwell's films are almost always worth watching be cause of this indie stalwart's taste in offbeat projects -- and his refusal to play to the audience's sympathy.
    • 82 Metascore

    Love Is Strange
    Love is Strange is very well worth seeing for its two stars, who acutely convey the pain their characters feel over their separation as well as displaying their considerable comic chops to keep things from getting too grim.
    • 74 Metascore

    Breach
    Though it's being dumped in the wastelands in February, Breach is better than many of the pack of so-called prestige movies that were released at the end of last year.
    • 64 Metascore

    Appaloosa
    Beautifully photographed by Dean Semler, Appaloosa is the best Western since "Open Range" and shows there's still life in this most unfashionable of genres.
    • 64 Metascore

    The Last Rites of Joe May
    Veteran character actor Dennis Farina gives one of the best performances of the year in a rare lead part as an aging, down-on-his luck small-time hood in The Last Rites of Joe May.

    Freaky Friday
    Disney's best comedy in years.

    Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation
    Perhaps the most fascinating vintage footage...depicts what happened in 1961 when the city sent police into Washington Square Park to stop the longtime Sunday practice of singing without a required permit.

    The Humbling
    Pacino demonstrates considerable comic chops in The Humbling — which has some interesting similarities to “Birdman.’’ It loses some momentum in its third act, but provides plenty of juicy material for a terrific cast.
    • 74 Metascore

    The Legend of Drunken Master
    Chan at his high-kicking best. Some sequences are simply amazing.
    • 74 Metascore

    A Mighty Heart
    Remarkably apolitical, considering that it comes from the director of the Bush-bashing "The Road to Guantanamo."
    • 60 Metascore

    Max Manus
    This rousing, fact-based Norwegian movie covers an unusual subject -- the resistance movement in that country during World War II, whose best-known depiction came in "Edge of Darkness," a 1943 Hollywood adventure movie starring Errol Flynn as a stalwart fisherman outwitting the Nazi occupiers.
