  1. Hannah Montana: The Movie
    Cyrus, as always, is a professional charmer (it's hard to resist when she leads a hip-hop hoedown), and the crusty folkiness of Billy Ray Cyrus as her real-life dad is as welcome as ever.
  2. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
    A stillborn rendering of Michael Chabon's first novel.
  3. Observe and Report
    The superb character actor Celia Weston (In the Bedroom) is truly breathtaking as Ronnie's boozer mom.
  4. Lymelife
    Overworked if heartfelt indie.
  5. Adventureland
    For nostalgia junkies, it's one from the heart.
  6. Sugar
    The film's style is so ''objective'' it's a bit subdued, yet this is a sports drama of total originality, as well as the most authentic inside view of the immigrant experience the movies have given us in quite a while.
  7. Alien Trespass
    The characters in Alien Trespass (directed by X-Files producing alum R.W. Goodwin) are specimens of Sputnik-era determination, led by a gung-ho Eric McCormack.
  8. Fast & Furious
    It offers an attractive getaway route from self-importance, snark, and chatty comedies about male bonding. Here, stick shifts do the talking.
  9. Paris 36
    It's like a pastry that's been sitting on the shelf for 60 years.
  10. Tulpan
    If you see only one comic love story from Kazakhstan this year, choose this prize-winning honey.
  11. Goodbye Solo
    The result is a playful, elusive movie that isn't so much heartwarming as soul-cleansing.
  12. Monsters vs Aliens
    The movie works hard -- desperately hard -- to be all things to all audience segments. And the visible effort erodes the sense of gaiety, of unfettered fun.
  13. Spinning Into Butter
    A painfully miscast Parker nervously flips her hair and waves her hands, sitcom-style, as a do-gooding dean of students.
  14. The Education of Charlie Banks
    Ritter, who's like the young Ethan Hawke on a bender of violence, is an actor to watch.
  15. 12 Rounds
    You will probably find yourself praying for this duel's knock-out punch to arrive long before it actually does.
  16. American Swing
    Plato's Retreat was a buffet of bodies, and the film catches the moment America could think that was tasty.
  17. The Haunting in Connecticut
    Smart enough to put much of its weight on Gallner, a lively presence with a terrifically sour mug that makes him look like a mutual cousin of Willem Dafoe and Peter Lorre.
  18. Shall We Kiss?
    Mouret not only stars (opposite a delicate Ledoyen) as the slightly schlemiely fellow in want of a woman's affection, he also wrote and directed this enticing, weightless divertissement.
  19. Knowing
    If you want to know how inept the movie is...well, it's so inept that you may wish you were watching an M. Night Shyamalan version of the very same premise.
  20. Sin Nombre
    Whenever Sin Nombre turns violent, it seizes you with its convulsive skill, but the film's images vastly outstrip its imagination.
  21. I Love You, Man
    By far the best Judd Apatow comedy that Judd Apatow had nothing at all to do with.
  22. Duplicity
    Duplicity doesn't have depth -- but it does have Julia Roberts, in full Hollywood movie-star mode.
  23. The Great Buck Howard
    The Great Buck Howard is in love with kitsch, the backwaters of showbiz, and true magic. It's a wee charmer that left me enchanted.
  24. Valentino: The Last Emperor
    Film music by Nino Rota provides a Fellini overlay.
  25. Sunshine Cleaning
    This peachcolored comedy about a wacky family who shove their sadness into a bulging closet is being marketed as ''from the producers of Little Miss Sunshine'' All that's missing from the formula is a Volkswagen Microbus.
  26. Miss March
    Writer-director-stars Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore, of the Whitest Kids U'Know, here prove the crassest, most maladroit moviemakers you know.
  27. The Last House on the Left
    This remake is merely vile (and dull).
  28. Race to Witch Mountain
    The planet-hopping children have special talents -- telekinesis, telepathy etc. -- although it is the high-wattage lovability of Mr Rock that's the real superpower on display here.
  29. Tokyo Sonata
    Known for distinctive horror movies like "Cure" and "Pulse," inventive Japanese filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa finds just the right melancholy tone to suit a new and all too familiar kind of horror: economic downsizing.
  30. Watchmen
    Even Watchmen fanatics may be doomed to a disappointment that results from trying to stay THIS faithful to a comic book.
