    Lakeview Terrace
    Jackson is the best thing here.
  2. Ghost Town
    Diverting enough, but it's also the kind of high-concept studio concoction Ricky Gervais might have ridiculed in his great backstage-showbiz sitcom "Extras."
  3. Igor
    The visuals are a kick; the groan-inducing dialogue isn't.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    My Best Friend's Girl
    The actors (especially Alec Baldwin, as Tank's horndog dad) elevate the material slightly, but such piffle will just fill you with longing...for a better movie.
  5. Burn After Reading
    The movie is overplowed, even if Brad Pitt's debut as a Coen comedy player is eye-catching.
  6. Towelhead
    As it becomes clear that Ball, in essence, has just restaged American Beauty with a socially conscious paint job, the sensationalism of Towelhead looks more and more like a dramatic tic.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The Family That Preys
    All over the place:It's a boardroom/family/couples/road-trip story.
  8. Righteous Kill
    It's not much fun to see these two reduced to "Mad TV" parodies of themselves.
  9. The Women
    The movie is a feminist lesson instead of what it should have been (and once was): a tough, synthetic, high-gloss entertainment that wears its heart on its lacquered fingernails.
  10. Ping Pong Playa
    Even the championship showdown feels polite.
  11. Save Me
    Even those of us who find anti-homosexual ''deprogramming'' to be hideously intolerant and naive may find ourselves oddly relieved that Mark is there (in a Christian rehab center).
  12. Bangkok Dangerous
    The filmmakers even manage to turn seamy Bangkok into the least exotic setting imaginable.
  13. A Secret
    The filmmaker's decision to shoot the past in color and the present in murky black and white is an inspired visual translation of psychological truth.
  14. August Evening
    The filmmaker of August Evening creates a succession of quiet, elliptical scenes that accrue into an affecting big picture of family ties and immigrant experience.
  15. The Pool
    Smith transfers an Iowa-based short story by Randy Russell to India's western Goa region -- and works in Hindi, primarily with novice actors. The result is a story both authentically specific and profoundly global.
  16. Babylon A.D.
    When martial arts star Michelle Yeoh shows up as a pious, butt-kicking nun, you have to wonder if Kassovitz isn't accidentally cribbing from Mel Brooks, too.
  17. I Served the King of England
    This is a dark story as well as a frothy one. But the bubble of absurdist self-absorption in which Menzel places this specimen of man-child is exquisite.
  18. College
    Friendly yet toothless, College musters little energy even as anarchic-party-movie nostalgia.
  19. Disaster Movie
    The movie is merciless sending up "Juno's" self-satisfied hipster gobbledygook, and it's quite funny to see Hannah Montana still promoting her tie-in products as she lies crushed and dying under a meteor.
  20. Traitor
    A slippery entertainment that's all feints and few punches thrown at a fight card of indistinguishable terrorists, Muslim and otherwise.
  21. Death Race
    Soft sexual and racial jabs replace the more daring political commentary of the original, a crude classic from the Roger Corman factory.
  22. The House Bunny
    The movie flaunts its comedy roots like a messy bleach job.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Longshots
    Hopelessly clichéd.
  24. Hamlet 2
    As a movie, Hamlet 2 is lively, energetically daft, and very, very scrappy -- a broader, more loony-tunes knockoff of "Waiting for Guffman."
  25. Trouble the Water
    Essential, unique viewing.
  26. I.O.U.S.A.
    If they handed out an Academy Award for Most Gripping Graphs and Charts, this film would take it.
  27. Momma's Man
    Beautiful, wise, and poker-faced comedy of discombobulation.
  28. The Rocker
    The only brazen thing about the film is how shamelessly it rips off "School of Rock."
  29. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
    George Lucas is turning into the enemy of fun.
  30. Vicky Cristina Barcelona
    The writing is zippy, the story spins like a top, and Bardem turns out to be the wittiest of leading men.
