  1. Black '47
    Despite its Irish setting, Black ’47 feels more than anything like an American Western, what with its shades-of-grey morality and almost Biblical quest for payback. Like Clint Eastwood’s Bill Munny in "Unforgiven" or John Wayne’s Ethan Edwards in "The Searchers," Martin is a silent avenger pushed to do things he doesn’t want to do but also can’t ignore.
  2. Down in the Valley
    As long as Norton plays Harlan as a modern-day Joe Buck, a kind of four-in-the-afternoon cowboy, we're drawn by his waltz of innocence and vagueness. But Down in the Valley turns out to be one of those films with a thick, gummy overlay of Western ''mythology.''
  3. In a Better World
    A fine example of Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier's (Brothers) talent for weaving together accessible domestic melodrama and issues of ethical awareness of the world beyond our doorstep.
  4. Point and Shoot
    His film is an essential, fascinating critique—and product—of our ''look at me'' culture.
  5. James' Journey to Jerusalem
    You'd think that the film would ask you to be appalled at this scenario of forced servitude -- but no, it's treated as harmless and cute, like an Israeli ''Chico and the Man.''
  6. Close to Home
    One of the rare movies from Israel that refuses to spell out its politics, and you may wind up grateful for the ambiguity.
  7. Outrage
    The movie excoriates the hypocrisy of self-hating gay lawmakers (several of whom it outs), yet it also explores the burden of the public closet.
  8. The Pillow Book
    I can't say that I've ever entertained fantasies of writing on someone's body. But Peter Greenaway's The Pillow Book (Cinepix) does, at least, succeed in making it look like an erotic activity.
  9. Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope
    He (Spurlock) takes Comic-Con seriously. He talks to Kevin Smith, Harry Knowles, and other famous grown-up geeks, but mostly he follows a handful of people whose dream it is to pass through the fan/professional looking glass and carve out a place for themselves in the industry of fantasy.
  10. The Way
    There's a contemplative loveliness to The Way, an affecting personal project both for Emilio Estevez, who wrote, directed, and plays a small role, and for his father, Martin Sheen.
  11. The Rover
    A major disappointment. Bleak, brutal, and ultimately pointless.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Absence of Malice
    Overwrought.
  13. Marie Antoinette
    Coppola's stranded royal suggests that at heart, Marie Antoinette was just a simple girl who wanted to have fun, and got her head handed to her.
  14. Dr T and the Women
    Funny and ebullient look at a man in full confusion.
  15. About Adam
    Cotton candy story with an acrid aftertaste.
  16. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    Sky Captain is a gorgeous, funny, and welcome novelty.
  17. Napoleon Dynamite
    Filmmaker Jared Hess (who cowrote the script with his wife, Jerusha Hess) installs Napoleon front and center as a punchline in and of himself -- and as that dispiriting product of narrative defeat, a symbol.
  18. Cold Weather
    Cold Weather becomes the world's first mumblecore "thriller" - a good idea for a movie that someone, in the future, should execute a bit less lackadaisically.
  19. Suffragette
    It’s a shame that, despite some excellent performances, this urgent, well-intentioned film feels so conventional and stolid.
  20. Guilty by Suspicion
    The scandal of McCarthyism is too daunting to shake off. But Guilty By Suspicion leaves you wishing that someone would finally make a decent movie about it.
  21. Interview
    Any doubts as to whether Sienna Miller is a gifted actress should be laid to rest by Interview.
  22. Cavite
    A breakneck inner-city odyssey of jump-cut shaky-cam suspense.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Where the Day Takes You
    In Where the Day Takes You, a prettified look at teen homelessness in Hollywood, even a junkie’s vomit looks designer.
  24. Sunshine
    Another thinking-person's thriller from director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland, also co-pilots on "28 Days Later."
  25. South Central
    Whatever its melodramatic shortcomings, South Central offers a wrenching view of modern youth-gang violence by demonstrating, with desperate candor, that the civilized alternatives are fast disappearing.
  26. The Prince of Egypt
    Moses was elevating mankind to a place closer to God, but when the Red Sea parts here, the feeling it gives you isn't awe; it's closer to deep impact.
  27. He Got Game
    As is often the case with Lee, though, the film left me wishing for even more scenes of casual intimacy, still the most powerful way to carry any message.
  28. Alien: Romulus
    It's got the thrills, it's got the creepy-crawlies, and it's got just enough plot to make you care about the characters. Alien: Romulus is a hell of a night out at the movies.
  29. To All the Boys I've Loved Before
    A lightweight teen rom-com that isn’t likely to clear up anyone’s grasp of what the studio stands for, but it is breezy and charming enough to merit a watch contingent on reasonable expectations.
  30. Frozen II
    Frozen 2 makes a valiant effort to live up to its predecessor, but can’t escape its shadow.
