    Selma
    A deeply moving film, it's a powerful reminder of a time not so long ago when, for a large group of Americans, attempting to register to vote could result in a serious threat to their lives.

    Predestination
    This intriguing and well-acted gender-bending story occasionally feels like "The Crying Game" meets "Looper."

    East Is East
    A robust family comedy that saves its wildest moments for a climactic "get-together."

    Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    The movie is still too solemn.

    The Barbarian Invasions
    Despite a slight tendency to be overly pleased with itself, this is a smart piece of work that got Arcand's screenplay an award at Cannes.
    • 42 Metascore

    Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker
    Though the film is not terribly original (and features a jarringly miscast Alicia Silverstone as Alex's nanny), the action scenes are diverting, the veteran cast is amusing and the engaging Pettyfer makes a solid debut.

    Saving Grace
    Though not quite up to "The Full Monty" or "Waking Ned Devine," there's just enough left in that overseas whimsy stockpile to generate good buzz (the word-of-mouth moviegoer kind).

    Starter for 10
    Despite its awkward title, Starter for 10 is a winning coming-of-age tale told with grace and charm.

    You Can Count on Me
    The best drama you've seen about Anytown, USA, since "American Beauty."

    Apollo 13
    "The Right Stuff" will endure as the more ambitious movie, but this book-faithful, 2-hour team effort shrewdly keeps its eye on the ball.

    One Day in September
    Comprehensive and blisteringly paced.

    The Guru
    Agreeable and slipshod in equal fashion, The Guru illustrates the subtle distinction between stupidity and goofiness.
    • 51 Metascore

    Aquamarine
    Despite corny one-liners and plot developments that don't always hold water, Aquamarine rises above the flotsam filling theaters this time of year with a likable tale of friendship and charming performances.

    Everyone's Hero
    A sweet, inspirational movie that doesn't offer any surprises, but entertains youthful audiences in a gentle, almost old-fashioned way.
    • 81 Metascore

    Get Shorty
    Though it sounds like a blueprint for either disaster or dynamite, the movie is a bit too controlled to be either.

    Wonder Boys
    Droll mild amusement.

    The Medallion
    Longer on action than comedy. But with Chan's affable charm and stunning leaps, kicks and jumps, it's a good-natured and amusing spectacle.

    What's Cooking?
    More interesting as a sociological study than successful as a movie, What's Cooking? gets more involving as it strolls along.

    Shine
    Shine has a story to reckon with and powerhouse male performances.

    Light It Up
    A tough little hostage thriller with crackling dialogue, surprising intelligence and an emotional wallop.

    Play It to the Bone
    Another invigorating, extremely raunchy sports movie from Ron Shelton .

    Gridiron Gang
    The best thing about Gridiron Gang is the performance of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He is engaging, affable and wholly believable as a former football star turned officer in a juvenile detention center.

    The House of Mirth
    Terence Davies' deliberately paced, earnest adaptation of Edith Wharton's breakthrough novel quietly captures the grim complexities of New York's social world nearly a century ago.

    Sugar & Spice
    Ragged but with an appealing comic edge, the movie is certainly funnier than most of the other comedies that studios have tried to keep from critics until opening day.

    The Tao of Steve
    This quirky, winning sleeper from first-time director Jenniphr Goodman has its pokey moments, but it's no insult to say that it is as pleasantly easygoing as its slacker hero.

    The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    A model of what a largely talking-heads documentary should be, with on-camera testimonials and lots of film clips that offer layers of context.

    Erin Brockovich
    A first-rate office comedy of prickly exchanges.

    Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland
