  1. Fly Me to the Moon 3D
    Brisk and sweet, even if the script veers toward fussy and lame.
  2. Mirrors
    The movie could have been a lot scarier.
  3. Henry Poole Is Here
    It's less a tale of religious rebirth than a faith-based Hallmark card.
  4. The Girl Cut in Two
    Sagnier is yummy.
  5. Tropic Thunder
    It's raunchy, outspoken -- and also a smart and agile dissection of art, fame, and the chutzpah of big-budget productions.
  6. Elegy
    There's a poetic irony to the idea that it took a female filmmaker to finally do justice to Philip Roth on screen.
  7. Pineapple Express
    It ends up subverting its own subversion, arriving at a place that can only be called conventional.

    The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
    Even cynics might concede that, again, four capable actresses have pulled off a relatively rare thing: They've convinced us they're an honest-to-God movie sisterhood.
  9. Frozen River
    A tale of ordinary Americans scraping bottom, yet there's a redemption in that. The film asks: If you were this desperate, wouldn't you do the same?
  10. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
    After an hour of inert exposition, a race through Shanghai gooses the movie alive. Then it plunges back into torpor.
  11. Swing Vote
    Costner (who's also a producer) plays to his middle-aged strengths in a role that exaggerates male weaknesses.
  12. Man on Wire
    The gorgeous music includes Ralph Vaughan Williams' wafting tone poem ''The Lark Ascending'' -- apt in describing an artist who might well be part bird.
  13. The X Files: I Want to Believe
    Older and sadder, Mulder and Scully are no longer sure they've got the energy to even ask if the truth is still out there. And it feels as if Carter is skeptical, too.
  14. Step Brothers
    Step Brothers is a Judd Apatow production and it's the closest that the Apatow factory has come to spitting out a dumb-and-dumber high-concept comedy.
  15. Brideshead Revisited
    The one performer who seems at home with the gravity of it all is Emma Thompson.
  16. American Teen
    The players are timelessly familiar in American Teen, too. But filmmaker Nanette Burstein tells their stories with a distinctly 21st-century pop and audacity.
  17. The Dark Knight
    At two hours and 32 minutes, this is almost too much movie, but it has a malicious, careening zest all its own. It's a ride for the gut AND the brain.
  18. Mamma Mia!
    It's tempting to say that Mamma Mia! has the worst choreography of any big-screen musical in history, though that would imply that what happens in the film IS choreography.
  19. Space Chimps
    While candy-colored graphics should dazzle kids, Space Chimps has little draw for audiences spoiled by the Pixar-given knowledge that CGI can entertain -- and not just stupefy -- moviegoers of any age.
  20. Felon
    Val Kilmer, as a polite horn-rimmed sociopath with a heart of gold, keeps showing up to drop Nietzschean pensées.
  21. Berlin
    Berlin is far from the lost masterpiece the movie wants it to be.
  22. Transsiberian
    Who doesn't have a sweet tooth for intrigue on a train?
  23. Hellboy II: The Golden Army
    The Golden Army dazzles like something out of "Jason and the Argonauts." To make a comic-book fantasy this derivative yet this dazzling requires more than technique. It takes a director in touch with his inner hellboy.
  24. Journey to the Center of the Earth
    Journey is just the new version of a 1950s comin'-at-ya roller coaster, with a tape measure, trilobite antennae, and giant snapping piranha thrust at the audience.
  25. Meet Dave
    this unfairly maligned sci-fi comedy testifies that Eddie Murphy still has the gift of surprise.
  26. August
    Anyone who thinks that Josh Hartnett isn't a true movie star should see his riveting, high-wire performance in August.
  27. Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
    The movie also captures Thompson's tragedy: the haze of drugs and bad writing that consumed him for no less than his last 30 years.
  28. Diminished Capacity
    The result is fairly silly slapstick, but Alda, hair disheveled and brow knit with stubborn intent, is both fierce and quietly heartbreaking.
  29. The Wackness
    The best thing about it is Peck, who shows you the sweet, virginal kid hiding inside the outlaw poseur.
  30. Tell No One
    Tell No One's plot thickens in about five ways at once, but they're all connected. The issue of how is a riddle that does more than tease --gives you an itch you won't want to stop scratching.
