    Collateral
    Ruffalo makes a dent as a dogged narcotics detective, and the Spanish superstar Javier Bardem appears as a crime boss. Overall, however, Mann seems content to play games with his fast cars, cool streets, and loud rock, leaving Collateral squarely within the action genre.

    Sketches of Frank Gehry
    The film has lovely moments – Gehry buildings can be extremely photogenic, after all – but it doesn't sink its teeth in the way it probably should.

    Black Book
    The action set-pieces, double crosses, and narrow escapes are handsomely mounted and suspenseful as a Saturday matinee.

    King Corn
    The film’s light hand, appealing style, and simple exposition make it an eminently watchable inquiry into the politics of food and public health, accessible to the documentary-shy and wildly appropriate for older kids, who may further respond to its generational emphasis.

    House of Sand
    The House of Sand is a more transparently ambitious, prestigious "woman's picture" than Waddington's previous feature, 2000's "Me You Them."

    Merry Christmas
    The movie isn't perfect – Spielberg-slick, its power is sometimes dampened by melodrama that overstates its message – but it is compelling and thought-provoking and topical as hell.

    Chalk
    Made by teachers for teachers, this local indie – which now sports the imprimatur of executive producer Morgan Spurlock – offers no easy answers to its statistic that 50% of teachers quit within their first three years on the job.

    Tears of the Black Tiger
    If Tears is indeed too weird to take America by storm – Miramax bought the film after Cannes and shelved it until it is now being released by Magnolia – it should neither be considered a cult item, approachable only to film nerds (though they will appreciate it best).

    The Painted Veil
    Acted with such venomous restraint that it hurts to watch.

    Divided We Fall
    This a deeply humane and affecting movie, surprisingly gentle in spite of its black-comic tinge, and without the slightest hint of schmaltz.

    Crazy Love
    The movie's quirk isn't forced; it sincerely ponders the nature of love and of human need, opening with a quote by Jacques Lacan and ending with a shrug.

    The Cuckoo
    A pleasant, often beautiful, and surprisingly light-hearted film that affirms the human traits of resilience and intelligence while clearly denouncing the bellicose tendencies of nations and factions.

    Miracle
    A suitably rigorous sports movie. On the other hand, at no time does it break out of the "sports movie" mold.

    Off the Map
    Ultimately the film manages a warm, offbeat appeal despite its flaws, and it has real heart.

    Erleuchtung garantiert
    Depends on the two actors who all but carry it.

    Come Undone
    If the sensitive coming-of-age love story is a well-worn tradition in gay cinema, Come Undone is at the very least a superior example of it.

    Young Adam
    The film is set in post-WWII Scotland, but its tone and its telling are so stark, so Medieval, that it seems anachronistic when one of its characters picks up a telephone or plays a bebop jazz record.

    The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
    Once again the title pretty much says it all.

    Fastpitch
    It's such high sports drama you'd swear this documentary is fiction.

    Over the Hedge
    Like a lot of animated fare, it's overly busy, lacking the comic's gentle, contemplative air.

    The Prisoner or: How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair
    The very concept of such an assassination isn't so absurd as to be wacky – at least not since somebody fired a rocket at UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon last Thursday.

    Cinemania
    A couple of the cinemaniacs are less defined than others, but the portrait that emerges is a detailed composite of life on the fringe.

    Mean Girls
    Wistful voiceover explains too much, and, even worse, interrupts the requisite Teen Movie Climactic Speech.

    The Eye
    This moody Hong Kong thriller puts a stylish new spin on the old "Hands of Orlac" horror motif.

    Notorious C.H.O.
    She's funny, she's feisty, she's a flabulous, fat-positive “fag hag,” and Margaret Cho isn't apologizing for any of it.

    Paris, je t'aime
    Eighteen short films by an international who's-who of filmmakers make up this omnibus celebrating the joys and sorrows of love and Paris, organized by neighborhood.

    Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams
    This is joyful filmmaking, imbued with an infectious, giddy enthusiasm.

    Before the Fall
    Every movie about the Holocaust should be this good, but few are.

    Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress
    Cute and toothless as a kitten, Seamstress doesn't inspire the same kind of fervent devotion its principals feel when confronted with art, but it does make a pleasant enough diversion.

    Saving Face
    Surprisingly fresh and charming overall.
