  1. Mission: Impossible II
    It's eye candy that detonates.
  2. Unbroken
    It's moving, admirable, and occasionally exhilarating. What it's missing is the one thing that could always be counted on with Jolie as a star: the spark of danger.
  3. Seducing Doctor Lewis
    Very ''Waking Ned Devine.'' There's shrewd wit to Pouliot's gentle, no-bull farce.
  4. The Shallows
    The Shallows could have been a really fun B-movie. And in a lot of ways, it is. There’s no denying that it has some great jump-scares and scratches a certain summer itch we all get this time of year. Too bad it’s a bit too watered down.
  5. The Experiment
    Rigid, airless, and browbeatingly repetitive, Das Experiment is an overly didactic piece of thesis hectoring; it's like ''Lord of the Flies'' set in a Skinner box.
  6. The Clovehitch Killer
    Unlike so many recent horror movies, The Clovehitch Killer is patient with its thrills, almost excruciatingly so.
  7. Boesman and Lena
    About two people on a stage, talking their way into and out of alienation.
  8. Waking the Dead
    Enough to anesthetize the living.
  9. A Home at the End of the World
    Most of the movie feels like Farrell's performance: deeply sincere, and more showy than convincing.
  10. The Best Man Holiday
    The Best Man Holiday is an eggnog that's sticky-sweet and heavy at the same time.
  11. Copying Beethoven
    Holland's empurpled bio-fantasy is hooey with an anachronistic feminist slant from start to finish.
  12. Outlaw King
    Mackenzie falls a little too in love with his battle scenes; by the fourth clash of blood and swords it all starts to feel like déjà vu, with different horses. At nearly two and a half hours, there’s clearly room to trim.... But he also films it beautifully in the natural light of candles, torches, and overcast skies, and there’s a solidness to the old-fashioned conventions of his storytelling.
  13. Outside the Law
    Rachid Bouchareb's intensely dramatized, passionately partisan story of militancy in the struggle for Algerian independence from France after World War II makes effective use of "Godfather" storytelling theatrics.
  14. I Smile Back
    It’s 85 minutes of grim abyss-gazing with no hope of salvation. If Silverman’s going to bare her soul this nakedly, she deserves a better film to do it in.
  15. Little Monsters
    It’s Nyong’o who makes Monsters worth spending 90 breezy, bloody minutes on; wielding her tiny guitar like she did a fateful pair of scissors earlier this year in Jordan Peele’s "Us," she’s both a warrior queen and a fallible, believable human woman — and never not a movie star in every scene.
  16. Tower Heist
    Tower Heist is the cinematic version of a Trump property: overblinged, eye-catching, and essentially tacky.
  17. Untamed Heart
    If Untamed Heart is often too precious for words, there’s one thing in it that feels miraculously fresh: the performance of Marisa Tomei, who follows up her rollicking caricature of a streetwise Italian dish in My Cousin Vinny by proving that she’s a major actress.
  18. Sarah's Key
    The Holocaust scenes are wrenching, the past-meets-present dialectics less so.
  19. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
    Like everything else in Jackson's Tolkienland, the buildup to the climactic melee stretches on too long. But when it comes, it's a doozy.
  20. Don't Move
    Told in a tricky flashback mode that's vivid even with a few too many temporal kinks, Don't Move is the sort of thing that Claude Chabrol was once praised for making with more pretension and a lot less less juice.
  21. Army of Darkness
    By the time Army of Darkness turns into a retread of "Jason and the Argonauts," featuring an army of fighting skeletons, the film has fallen into a ditch between parody and spectacle.
  22. All Is True
    Even if this handsome film runs a bit snoozy and dull at times, it’s wondefully acted and clearly made with no shortage of compassion and love.
  23. Winter Solstice
    A realistic drama that looks and feels as inevitably true and moving as a good documentary.
  24. Anywhere But Here
    What's missing from this by-the-numbers drama is a sense of abandon.
  25. Happenstance
    In Happenstance, fortune doesn't just smile -- it schemes and tricks and zigzags, forming an urban road map of fate's detours.
  26. The First Wives Club
    The First Wives Club has all the conviction a comedy of female vengeance needs. But as soon as the dumb plot takes over, the wit leaks out of the movie like helium from a balloon.
  27. Judy & Punch
    Even at the movie's silliest and most unsteady moments, she's (Wasikowska) the ballast: a Judy bruised but unbowed — and finally, fully ready to punch back.

    Battle Beyond the Stars
    It’s hard not to admire a movie featuring a spaceship with D-cups and a title that has the nerve to one-up Star Wars — but if Lucas’ film is PlayStation 2, this one is hopscotch.
  29. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
    Charming enough on its own not to feel like just reheated leftovers.
  30. Rory O'Shea Was Here
    Rory O'Shea Was Here gazes at the physically afflicted and just about begs for our sympathy long after we've grown restless and eager to feel something else.
