  1. Chop Shop
    As he did in his striking 2005 first feature film, "Man Push Cart," about a Pakistani street vendor in New York, perceptive indie filmmaker Ramin Bahrani looks at what others overlook and finds drama in everyday details.
  2. Meet the Browns
    The importance of faith, church, kin, staying off drugs, sharing food, repenting from sin, forgiving sinners, appreciating a good black man, rejecting a bad one, and honoring black matriarchy is enumerated with typical, reassuring Perry broadness.
  3. My Brother Is an Only Child
    The movie is a veritable scrapbook of tropes from the heyday of art film. Maybe that's why it feels gauzy and quaint. Yet time passes pleasantly.
  4. Stop-Loss
    A painfully polite Iraq war drama pitched at the MTV generation.
  5. My Blueberry Nights
    Norah Jones, making her big-screen debut as a wistful wanderer, is a beautiful blank, and the fragments barely add up to a movie.
  6. Bra Boys
    Partly a straightforward surf movie with impressive wave-catching footage. However, other sections track the legal troubles of Jai Abberton, a Bra Boy who was tried and acquitted of murder. This makes for an often fascinating but awkward mix.
  7. Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
    Harold and Kumar, fortunately, never lose their verbally relentless way of delivering raunch as pure common sense.
  8. What Happens in Vegas
    Kutcher, who gives his most energized performance to date, and Diaz, darting between the caustic and shrill, look as if they're warming up to groovy hate sex, not love, which may be why the film goes flat the moment it turns friendly.
  9. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
    In total effect, Prince Caspian feels a lot more earthbound than "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
  10. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
    Harrison Ford? Terrific -- and re-energized.
  11. Savage Grace
    The director, Tom Kalin, stages acid duels, but he should have provided more psychological structure. Though Moore, a great actress, turns fury into verbal music, we're never quite sure what's driving her.
  12. The Strangers
    Bryan Bertino, stages The Strangers' early scenes with spooky panache...But then comes the blood, the shrieking midnight chase scenes, the anything-goes over-the-top-ness. In other words, everything that we liked the movie for not being.
  13. The Incredible Hulk
    The Incredible Hulk is just a luridly reductive and violent B movie -- one that clears a bar that hadn't been set very high.
  14. 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.
  15. Mother of Tears
    As a lissome art restorer, Asia Argento (the director's daughter) comes off as the sanest human on screen, which is pretty scary.
  16. The Wackness
    The best thing about it is Peck, who shows you the sweet, virginal kid hiding inside the outlaw poseur.
  17. Berlin
    Berlin is far from the lost masterpiece the movie wants it to be.
  18. Transsiberian
    Who doesn't have a sweet tooth for intrigue on a train?
  19. Vicky Cristina Barcelona
    The writing is zippy, the story spins like a top, and Bardem turns out to be the wittiest of leading men.
  20. Death Race
    Soft sexual and racial jabs replace the more daring political commentary of the original, a crude classic from the Roger Corman factory.
  21. The House Bunny
    The movie flaunts its comedy roots like a messy bleach job.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Longshots
    Hopelessly clichéd.
  23. Fly Me to the Moon 3D
    Brisk and sweet, even if the script veers toward fussy and lame.
  24. Towelhead
    As it becomes clear that Ball, in essence, has just restaged American Beauty with a socially conscious paint job, the sensationalism of Towelhead looks more and more like a dramatic tic.
  25. Appaloosa
    A throwback to the age when Westerns were quaint.
  26. Ghost Town
    Diverting enough, but it's also the kind of high-concept studio concoction Ricky Gervais might have ridiculed in his great backstage-showbiz sitcom "Extras."
  27. The Lucky Ones
    The Lucky Ones isn't dull, and the actors do quite nicely, especially McAdams, who's feisty, gorgeous, and as mercurial as a mood ring.
  28. Sex Drive
    Seth Green is uproarious as an Amish farmer who speaks in sentences so passive-aggressive, they're like tiny slaps.
  29. Flash of Genius
    The individual components of director Marc Abraham's David-and-Goliath drama are roundly unexceptional; the script, soft and teach-y; the performances, earnest.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    City of Ember
    The story, which follows two kids who try to save their burg from blackouts, isn't well-executed, losing itself to unclear mythology and sci-fi gibberish.
