  1. 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.
  2. The Whistleblower
    Rarely has a movie captured the obscene violence of sex trafficking with such unvarnished grubbiness. In the end, though, The Whistleblower is a corporate thriller.
  3. Miss You Already
    A movie about love and loss that doesn’t dissolve into soft focus when the hard parts start.

    Don't Trip ... He Ain't Through with Me Yet
    Harvey's stand takes place live in front of 16,000 believers at Bishop T.D. Jakes' church event MegaFest, and the intriguing novelty of the movie comes from watching one of the R-rated Original Kings of Comedy try to go the whole night without swearing.
  5. More Than a Game
    It's the die-hard camaraderie that undergirded this squad and lifted it to the top.
  6. Memphis Belle
    The characters in Memphis Belle may have ethnic names, but in spirit the actors are all playing WASPs — fresh-faced, pretty-boy WASPs, the kind that make the little girls swoon. It’s Dead Poets Society Goes to War.
  7. Those Who Wish Me Dead
    Unlike Remorse, and other bloody misfires out this month, Dead isn't particularly ugly or offensive; it's engaging enough and sometimes almost unintentionally fun. For a star who so rarely chooses to be on screen these days though, it feels like another kind of mortal sin, at least in Hollywood: forgettable.
  8. Bad Boys for Life
    Banter and bullets is the action-movie MO, and the duo at the center of it hardly seem to have to stretch to spread their bickering charm on thick. By the shock-and-awe climax, though — when everything but the goatee pretty much goes up in flames — other things have worn thin.
  9. The Lover
    Of course, the hollow drama of The Lover might not matter so much if these two actually did something interesting in bed. As it is, they barely get out of the missionary position. With far more explicit (and inventive) erotic films available at almost any video store, one has to wonder: How much point is there to portraying sexual passion as serious and ”adult” if you only end up taking all the fun out of it?
  10. Ballerina
    Like dining at Burger King, it's undeniably enjoyable, but may leave you with a queasy feeling when it's all over.
  11. Paranormal Activity 3
    The bottom line, for me, is this: I don't scare easily at horror films, but I watched Paranormal Activity 3 in a state of high anxiety.
  12. Definitely, Maybe
    Absolutely, probably more comfortable with human romantic complication than the usual stuff released on Valentine's Day.
  13. Les amants criminels
    This remains the one and only fusion of ''Deliverance'' and ''Hansel and Gretel'' that I ever hope to see.
  14. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
    A gaily busy kid flick.
  15. The Little Mermaid
    The human world, it's a mess, but with Halle Bailey, life under the sea is better than anything Disney live-action has done in nearly a decade.
  16. Magic Trip
    It's like seeing the birth of the '60s, with great moments (including Neal Cassady doing speed-freak monologues).
  17. Little Lili
    Because the talk never gets beyond statement making, and because the characters emit none of Chekhov's radiantly lived-in soulfulness, there's plenty of time to appreciate the sun-kissed landscape.
  18. What If
    An unctuous rom-com that runs its characters through every plastic cliché of a pre-Oscar McConaughey vehicle, ultimately causing us to root against the vacuous couple and their predetermined happy ending.

    The Ref
    The performances are uniformly excellent — even Leary knows when to shut up and just listen — and this nasty romp delivers so many honest laughs, you may end up watching it twice in the same night to make sure you weren’t hallucinating.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story
    One more feel-great sports movie with a teen-poetry title and Kurt Russell will have himself a trilogy.
  21. 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.
  22. Unfriended
    Though not particularly ground-breaking — last year’s Elijah Wood-starring Open Windows pulled the same trick, and much more ambitiously — we’re still going to “like” the result.
  23. Sharkwater
    This beautiful and urgent eco-doc takes a bite out of the shark mythology made indelible by "Jaws."
  24. American Swing
    Plato's Retreat was a buffet of bodies, and the film catches the moment America could think that was tasty.
  25. This Is 40
    This Is 40 isn't always hilarious, but it's ticklishly honest and droll about all the things being a parent can do to a relationship. And why it's still worth it.
  26. Cliffhanger
    Despite the don't-look-down Olympian settings, Cliffhanger's spirit is brutal and earthbound.
  27. Cruella
    Cruella comes off as a curious animal, eager to change its spots and trying a little bit of everything along the way.
  28. Nanny McPhee
    One of those raucous, hyperactive kiddie flicks that knocks you upside the head from its opening frame.
  29. Onegin
    Tatyana, the embodiment of a heroine whose still waters run deep, requires more maturity than Tyler as yet possesses.
  30. Wimbledon
    Nothing more than amiable fluff, yet Bettany infuses it with a brazen dash of reality. You believe in him, even when you don't quite believe in the movie.
