  1. Two Weeks
    The movie's warm advocacy of hospice, with all the dignity such end-of-life care provides, does real, influential good.
  2. The Holiday
    The dialogue has a perky synthetic sheen, and with the exception of Diaz, Meyers brings out the best in her actors.
  3. Venus
    Venus has a swank pedigree, but in this case that doesn't mean it's much more than a quaint machine to elicit tears and awards.

    The Secret Life of Words
    Can a single scene save a movie? An hour and 20 minutes into The Secret Life of Words, Sarah Polley delivers a halting, evocative 10-minute monologue that finally unlocks the mystery behind her guarded character.
  5. Curse of the Golden Flower
    Curse of the Golden Flower is a watchable soap opera, but its marching-band martial-arts scenes are little more than weakly staged retreads of the ones in Zhang's "Hero."
  6. Factory Girl
    As Factory Girl more than acknowledges, Edie Sedgwick's downward spiral was ultimately her own doing. Yet even as the film captures the silk-screen outline of her rise and fall, it never quite colors in who she was.

    Primeval
    Pit a reptile the size of a school bus against an American TV-news crew in war-scarred Burundi, and you get "Hotel Rwanaconda," a horror movie interested in cheesy scares and drawing attention to the plight of poor Africans. (So no, Primeval is not the '"serial killer'" film promised by the ads.)
  8. God Grew Tired of Us
    God Grew Tired of Us never brings us half as close to its subjects as the far more penetrating "Lost Boys of Sudan" did in 2004.
  9. Alone with Her
    Intriguing creepout.
  10. Epic Movie
    Epic Movie is just timely enough to conclude with a wink and a nod to Borat. I only wish that it had been bold enough to go Borat on HIM.
  11. Seraphim Falls
    Neeson and Brosnan are supremely well-matched foils, though I do wish that the filmmaker, David Von Ancken, had lent his sparsely mythic tale just a twinge of something...new.
  12. Puccini for Beginners
    The plot, which spins around Allegra's lovers having just been an item, is awkward bedroom farce, but the tone is Woody Allen-meets-"The L Word," with a patina of literary cuteness that now seems like the sound of a vanished Manhattan.
  13. Music and Lyrics
    Grant is game for a new level of meta-ha-ha, joke's-on-me in Music and Lyrics. But with Drew Barrymore as his costar, this bland, light romantic comedy insists on keeping the commentary as disposable as one of the '80s gumball tunes Grant used to swivel to as Alex Fletcher, a washed-up '80s pop star.
  14. Avenue Montaigne
    For Yank color in her soap-bubbly movie, director Daniele Thompson has her pal Sydney Pollack appear as...a famous director.
  15. Reno 911!: Miami
    The characters are perfectly evolved screwups and the premise has potential. It lacks only the discipline of a 30-minute episode -- or a YouTube video.
  16. Into Great Silence
    The movie has a hushed sensual resonance, but it turns faith into an endurance test.
  17. Reign Over Me
    A strange, black-and-blue therapeutic drama equally mottled with likable good intentions and agitating clumsiness.
  18. Blades of Glory
    Blades of Glory has funny moves even when its characters can barely move, but the film seldom gets past its one basic laugh: that a real man figure-skating is a contradiction in terms.
  19. Black Book
    Black Book may be the looniest use of the Holocaust as a playground since Roberto Benigni served up his infernal clown act in "Life Is Beautiful."
  20. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters
    The plot can't be summarized: Let's just say that crazy s--- happens, and occasionally, you laugh.
  21. Disturbia
    If it's possible to be a rip-off with wit, Disturbia qualifies.
  22. Lonely Hearts
    Lonely Hearts never locates the key to the killers' bloody bond.
    • 23 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Condemned
    "Battle Royale," if you've never seen it, is a fantastically sadistic and unapologetically brutal Japanese film from 2000 about miscreants dropped on a jungle island with orders to kill each other for a reality TV show. The Condemned is pretty much the same thing with half the satirical wit and twice the number of wrestlers.
  24. Shrek the Third
    I love the princess squad.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Day Watch
    The sequel is a minor wackjob head trip.
  26. 12:08 East of Bucharest
    12:08 East of Bucharest is a shrewdly built comedy, but the characters are broad-verging-on-cheap unholy hick fools.
  27. A Mighty Heart
    Despite the best of intentions, an actress who makes her own headlines gets in the way of the big picture.
  28. Transformers
    Bay, at heart, isn't a fantasist; he's a literal-minded maestro of demolition.
  29. Underdog
    This digitized update, with Jason Lee as a huskier, more generic Underdog, mostly drops the doggerel, but the endearing airborne-beagle effects help to offset the formula twists.
  30. 2 Days in Paris
    Delpy wrote and directed this study of a relationship heading (it would seem) for the rocks. She stages it with a funny and diverting improv-y flow.
