  1. Cellular
    Chris Evans is blithely likable despite a few faux-Cruise mannerisms, Basinger makes a vividly frightened yet resourceful woman in peril, and William H. Macy scores as a mild L.A. cop who lets out his inner macho.
  2. Never Been Kissed
    Labored miscalculation of a teen-trend comedy.
  3. Brassed Off
    There's a double meaning in the title of this folksy, relentlessly political, heavy-handed story, written and directed by Mark Herman and set among the coal mines of Yorkshire, England, in 1992.
  4. Analyze This
    Crystal turns in his best (read: least sappy) performance in ages, getting through an entire movie -- most of it, anyway -- without mugging.
  5. Kumaré
    Gandhi tries to dodge criticism of his mocking scam by rationalizing that even a phony wise man can offer real solace.
  6. They Came Together
    Most of the jokes land bluntly – ”This is a cliché!” – but tight pacing and a killer cast, which also includes Ed Helms and Christopher Meloni, make up for the inconsistent gags.
  7. To the Stars
    To the Stars seems downcast, at first glance, but it serves as a gentle, lovely reminder that one true friendship, even forged amid adversity, can be enough to keep you looking skyward.
  8. Isn't It Romantic
    Isn’t It Romantic pulls off a sweet sleight-of-hand trick as a rom-com-within-a-rom-com, mocking all of the classic rom-com tropes while still letting us indulge in them. The movie is having its gourmet cupcake and eating it too.
  9. Red Dragon
    A thriller made from a completist's checklist rather than with a cultist's passion.
  10. The Beaver
    This is high-quality work from a professional (Gibson) who, news reports have suggested, has recently sunk to terrible lows in his nonprofessional life.
  11. Manic
    There's something already exhausted, however, in the intrusively gauzy, wobbly, blurry, zoomy digital-video look of the piece.
  12. Calendar Girls
    While each Yorkshire playmate-of-the-month warmly assesses her own undewy flesh, the movie gives off a happy vibe of appreciation -- for the dignity of the real Rylstone lot, the actresses who play them so lovingly, and the simple, flower-bed borders of the story.
  13. The Iceman
    Ultimately, this is a grim (both visually and thematically) character study of an unsympathetic character, leaving Shannon, who manages to deliver another impressive performance, twisting in the ice-cold wind.
  14. The Aeronauts
    Jones reportedly did nearly all the stunts herself in a real balloon, and she makes the stakes feel fretfully real despite the dreamy, almost painterly quality of George Steel’s cinematography. By the time the story comes back to earth, though, that urgency is largely gone with the wind, and the film returns to what it was: a whimsical, oddly airless curiosity.
  15. All Day and a Night
    A nervy, deeply felt drama that gets a little lost on its winding path to redemption but still finds a way home.
  16. The Godfather: Part III
    In this brilliantly sustained climax, Coppola unveils a vision of corruption that embraces the entire world, but he's also reveling in sheer theatrical magic in a way that only a master can.
  17. Trust
    David Schwimmer directs this smarmy Hot Topic drama with empathy for the craft of acting but less interest in the craft of making a movie move.
  18. Under the Silver Lake
    No matter how shaggy and self-indulgent it is, or how anticlimactic its big so-what of an ending ends up being, I was never bored. More than that, I kind of dug its sheer swing-for-the-fences insanity.
  19. Finally Dawn
    Costanzo wants to tell a story set in the past, but he doesn't spend enough time fine-tuning the particulars that make period pieces feel vital rather than stagey. Additionally, at 140 minutes, the film is self-indulgent in length.
  20. What About Bob?
    What About Bob? is just funny enough to make you wish it had been wilder and less predictable.
  21. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
    Director David Leitch (Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2) seems to know how to set up his outrageous set pieces, then get out of the way often enough to let his stars do what they need to do: Joke, chokehold, kiss, and smash until the helicopters come home.
  22. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
    The story in Madagascar 3 is functional, but the antically civilized spirit is infectious.
  23. My Blind Brother
    Its tired indie trappings (arrested development, dull cynicism) turn the film into its own kind of marathon.

    Wayne's World 2
    It also made me laugh harder than anything I’ve seen at the movies this year.
  25. Go for Zucker
    Funny, director and co-writer Dani Levy suggests with no little coldness, how the scent of money can do what religion, ideology, and ethical principles cannot.
  26. A/k/a Tommy Chong
    Chong does his time (nine months) and has the last laugh, emerging as a born-again activist-survivor of the culture wars.
  27. Gifted
    In the end, what should be a three-hankie, ugly-cry tearjerker feels unnuanced, overplotted, and mechanical. Frank and Mary deserved better.
  28. Lone Survivor
    Berg has made a powerful film and an important reminder of what really happens when we send men and women off to war. It's just too bad that subtlety isn't a stronger weapon in his arsenal.
  29. Smallfoot
    Smallfoot has its own silly, beastie charm.
  30. Bandits
    A comedy that might have made Butch and Sundance jump off a cliff.
