  1. The Signal
    Mostly comes down to rage fiends going at one another with baseball bats, knives, pesticide tanks, and power drills.
  2. Be Kind Rewind
    There's nothing not to like about the movie, a teensy, hand-crocheted trifle, fitted with embroidered pockets of guest stardom, including Mia Farrow as the nice local lady who wants to see what "Ghostbusters" is all about and "Ghostbusters'" own Sigourney Weaver as a movie-studio corporate meanie, ha-ha.
  3. The Counterfeiters
    Without doing anything so divisive as taking sides, The Counterfeiters pays sympathetic attention to those who play their cards to win even when the rules are terrible, not least because the remarkable Markovics, an Austrian TV actor with a pugnacious anvil of a head, is so riveting as an unsaintly survivor.
  4. Vantage Point
    Vantage Point starts to slide off the rails when it tracks a tourist (Forest Whitaker) and his trusty camcorder; instead of Zapruder-like intrigue, the episode has him running around like an agent in a rote thriller.
  5. The Duchess of Langeais
    A highbrow chick flick that made me feel older, in a good way.
  6. Diary of the Dead
    Diary of the Dead isn't bad; it's a kicky B movie hiding inside a draggy, self-conscious-work-of-auteurist-horror one.
  7. Definitely, Maybe
    Absolutely, probably more comfortable with human romantic complication than the usual stuff released on Valentine's Day.
  8. Jumper
    Liman, for all his craft, doesn't have enough FUN with the premise.
  9. The Spiderwick Chronicles
    Spiderwick is set in the present, but goes for an overall design look of dainty, cozy, William Morris-y arts-andcraftiness.

    Step Up 2: The Streets
    In a sequel that features the original's Channing Tatum only in cameo, a Baltimore teen (Briana Evigan, very winning) enrolls at an arts academy, leaving her street-dancing pals behind. So far, ho hum. But when she decides to form a new crew with her classmates, Step Up 2 the Streets improves considerably -- and it doesn't skimp on cool pretzel moves.
  11. Ezra
    The film is so committed to its view of Ezra as a pawn in the psychotic game of postcolonial Africa that he is never allowed, as a character, to become more than a pawn.
  12. The Band's Visit
    Something marvelous happens as the filmmaker, in his first feature, expertly metes out small scenes of communication between people taught, for generations, to be wary of one another: This Band swings with the rhythms of hope.
  13. Fool's Gold
    Kate Hudson is as blah and dazed as her costar is cloyingly enthused. If it's possible to have too even a tan, Hudson in Fool's Gold would be the poster child for it.
  14. The Hottie & the Nottie
    The Farrelly brothers could burp out a movie funnier than The Hottie & the Nottie, a farce of corrupt stereotypes that's never more grotesque than when it pretends to be more than skin-deep.
  15. In Bruges
    Neither star is sloppy, but both are loose and mellow -- a couple of pros who know they're the whole show.
  16. Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland
    Has a loosey-goosey, what-the-hell spirit that's easy and fun to hook into.
  17. Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins
    Mo'Nique is similarly given little opportunity to show off her indisputable comedic chops, though her freewheeling monologue during the closing credits hints at what might have been.
  18. London to Brighton
    Writer-director Paul Andrew Williams' unnecessarily hectic debut feature won several British film festival awards, no doubt for its bounty of low-budget stylized violence and blood, as well as its thing for prostitutes and runaways.
  19. Caramel
    A Lebanese variation on sweetly soapy dramas about Women Who Bond With Wet Hair.
  20. The Eye
    It's as if, on the umpteenth Asian-horror Xerox, the ink has run dry.
  21. Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert
    Cyrus, an apple-cheeked dumpling, resembles Pia Zadora, but when she exhorts the crowd, it's with the martial efficiency of Hillary Clinton.
  22. Over Her Dead Body
    Rudd's talents as a thinking woman's charmer are wasted -- as are those of amiable Jason Biggs in a weak variation on the pop theme of being a gal's gay best friend.
  23. Praying with Lior
    Though the film gets a bit repetitive, in its moving climax Lior does more than just have his bar mitzvah -- he earns it.
  24. The Witnesses
    What the characters in The Witnesses -- and we, the audience -- pay testimony to in André Téchiné's urgent, compassionate, and ultimately optimistic French drama are the toll the epidemic has rung, and the responsibility of the living to choose life.
  25. Rambo
    Rambo teaches that fighting sucks, good intentions can be futile, and coalitions of the willing are a charade: A man's got to do what a man's got to do.
  26. How She Move
    Rutina Wesley glowers with just the right touch of sweetness as a brainy student (and stellar after-school stepper).
  27. Meet the Spartans
    Less classic Mel Brooks than middling "Best Week Ever."
  28. Untraceable
    Lane skillfully sells the tech-heavy script. But after a much-too-early reveal of the murderer's identity, the ''low battery'' signal starts to flash on this film by thriller specialist Gregory Hoblit, director of last year's far superior "Fracture."
  29. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
    Nothing good happens in 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, the riveting, horrifying chronicle of an illegal abortion performed in 1987 when Ceauescu's dictatorial hand still gripped Romania's throat. And yet no lover of greatness in filmmaking will want to look away from one of the very best movies of 2007.
  30. U2 3D
    The 3-D visuals envelop you, majestically, and that effect fuses with the band's surround-sound rapture to create a full-scale sensory high. U2 3D makes you feel stoned on movies.
