  1. Quartet
    Dustin Hoffman, a 75-year-old first-time feature director better known as a great old acting pro, conducts at a pleasant tempo.
  2. Prometheus
    This is jumbo-size science fiction, with a handsome, impermeable titanium gleam - and a thick coating of creationism lite.
  3. Fast Color
    Mbatha-Raw brings a fierce, quiet containment to the lead role, and Hart builds so much mood through her atmospheric cinematography and deliberately slow pacing that it nearly papers over the sketched-in quality of the script. Eventually, though, you start to wish her characters would speak in more than just vague koans and disaster-movie platitudes.
  4. Goon
    He can barely skate, but it hardly matters: As a goon, he's a genius.

    Princesas
    The way that Aranoa so clearly venerates his lively women feels Almodóvar-esque, but the movie aims most of all to suggest that hookerdom is hell -- and it's neither realistic nor unsentimental enough to pull that off.
  6. Always Be My Maybe
    The stuff of a thousand future Twitter gifs, though, is a featured appearance by Keanu Reeves. It’s better not to know too much about his role going in, other than that nearly everything about it has the winking air quotes of a movie star playing directly to his own storied Hollywood history, and that it is for the most part ridiculously fun.
  7. The Truth About Cats & Dogs
    The Truth About Cats & Dogs is very funny around the edges... but as the characters begin to hang out together, forming a platonic menage a trois, the mistaken-identity ruse never escalates into true screwball lunacy.
  8. The Pursuit of Happyness
    It's a beautiful and understated performance, one that hums with a richer, quieter music than Smith has mustered before.
  9. In Praise of Love
    Godard, as always, sounds full of insight, yet he uses the past to damn the present in a way that may be reflexively self-serving. In Praise of Love leaves a taste as bitter as poison ash.
  10. Eight Below
    There's something invigorating about this unpretentious dog tale. And if a penguin drops by to promote his own movie product, well, there's room on the frozen continent for all.
  11. Bombshell
    Bombshell belongs to its three main female stars. It’s their fierce, finely shaded performances that transcend the film’s drab visual style and drier episodic moments — not just by speaking truth to power, but by confronting the audience’s own ideas of who the right to do that belongs to.
  12. Belle
    Like "Downton Abbey" but with corsets, culottes, and tricorn hats, Belle subtly skewers the absurd rules and hypocrisies of class. But the real takeaway is Mbatha-Raw. She makes a case for why she ought to be a star.
  13. Suspiria
    It’s likely to be enjoyed more by audiences unfamiliar with the original.
  14. Avenue Montaigne
    For Yank color in her soap-bubbly movie, director Daniele Thompson has her pal Sydney Pollack appear as...a famous director.
  15. 1408
    A deft Stephen King freak-out.
  16. The Low Down
    Gillen can't make good on his gaze's search and destroy capabilities.
  17. Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)
    A unintentionally funny fanzine-flavored documentary.
  18. Mondays in the Sun
    The performances are relaxed. The open-ended, vignette-like structure of the filmmaking sometimes imitates the movement of weary, life-worn men nursing liquor.
  19. Enigma
    A turgid muddle of romance, espionage, and geek valor, despite intimations that it might have turned into ''A Reasonably Dapper-Looking Mind.''
  20. The Sixth Sense
    It's a psychological thriller that actually thrills.
  21. Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
    Harold and Kumar share a quality the overgrown adolescents in films like this are never allowed to possess: They're witty, focused, and highly aware. They make having a brain look hip.
  22. Swiss Army Man
    A hot, strange mess that never quite comes together the way it should.
  23. Fright Night
    It ends up getting a surprising number of things right.
  24. Ready or Not
    So come for the crossbows, etc., and to watch Weaving’s star be born in real time; stay for the socio-economic lessons and sweet, sweet revenge.
  25. Che
    As political theater, Che moves from faith to impotence, which is certainly a valid reading of Communism in the 20th century. Yet as drama, that makes the second half of the film borderline deadly.
  26. Youth
    As it is, Youth is hit-and-miss, beautiful and frustrating.
  27. Look Both Ways
    Ineffably Australian and intriguingly (rather than annoyingly) artsy, Look Both Ways introduces a handful of people gobsmacked by life-changing crises, all of them trying to make sense of responsibility, mortality, and connection.
  28. Nasty Baby
    Subverting expected narratives may have been Silva’s aim all along; still, the turn isn’t just nasty, it’s confounding.
  29. Come Early Morning
    The baby-voiced costar of "Chasing Amy" proves an effortless filmmaker, turning Lucy’s journey into the awakening of a soul.
  30. Muppet Treasure Island
    Tim Curry makes a fine, flashy Long John Silver, and charming newcomer Kevin Bishop is a lively, toothy young Jim Hawkins, but it’s Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat who make Muppet Treasure Island, the Muppets musical adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson, novel a hoot.
