  1. Heartless
    Unpredictability isn't this horror film's strength, but it's stylishly crafted and excellently acted, and it boasts an abundance of heart in every sense of the word.
    • 58 Metascore

    Fading Gigolo
    He (Turturro) lands a three-way with two eager ladies (Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara), but it’s his platonic meet-up with a lonely Hasidic widow (Vanessa Paradis) that establishes the deepest bond.
  3. Glory Road
    Still, it's only just a jump shot or two before Glory Road settles into its rudimentary, music-cued rhythms of classroom civics lessons punctuated by on-court action.
  4. The One and Only Ivan
    Watching Ivan discover his love of art is intoxicating, too, particularly when his realization that he can use it to communicate results in a truly breathtaking tableau. The film’s genuine bursts of emotion, combined with the wry warmth of the vocal performances and the deftly realistic rendering of the CGI animals, give the project a silverback gorilla-sized heaping of heart.
  5. We Bought a Zoo
    The movie is like Doctor Dolittle remade as a therapeutic sudser. By the end, it got to me.
  6. Everything Is Illuminated
    For one of those obstreperously original books that are themselves impossible to translate, Everything Is Illuminated is impressively well lit.
  7. Stone
    Milla Jovovich slinks cartoonishly as Stone's seductive wife, on a mission to compromise the lawman. Lordy.
  8. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
    Much like the entries of the original trilogy, at its heart, Dial is a rip-roaring adventure that borrows more from the cinematic language of golden age swashbucklers than modern blockbusters.
  9. Felon
    Val Kilmer, as a polite horn-rimmed sociopath with a heart of gold, keeps showing up to drop Nietzschean pensées.
  10. The Invention of Lying
    The performances are razor sharp. And the ideas in this movie are, no kidding, big.
  11. The Yards
    A drama about corruption in the city's transit system that's not only hard boiled but also dipped in egg batter dialogue and deep fried.
  12. Death Race 2000
    Death Race 2000 isn’t the sharp satire Corman thinks it is, but it’s fun.
  13. Benny & Joon
    Benny & Joon turns out to be a whimsical (and not very well paced) heart tugger in which two nice couples spend 98 ever-so-slightly flaky minutes figuring out that they’re perfect for each other.
  14. The Lords of Salem
    Unfortunately, it’s just a witchy mess.
  15. Renaissance
    Connoisseurs of digital animation, graphic novels, and the history of dystopian art will have plenty to discuss about Christian Volckman's visually striking, technically impressive black-and-white animated feature Renaissance…But no one will be talking about the movie's banal plot, the trite dialogue, or any of the indistinguishable characters who offer a bleak futuristic vision of cinema that's all style, no soul.
  16. Wayne's World
    As a movie, Wayne's World isn't much more than an amiable goof, yet it's carried along by the flaked-out exuberance of its two stars.
  17. Crank
    The movie is cranked up somewhere between stylish and proudly stupid, dusted with sunniness from Amy Smart (as Chev's sleepy girlfriend) -- and guaranteed to be out of your system by the time the lights come up.
  18. Special
    Thanks to Rapaport's brio in embracing the hero's drug-induced delusions, the movie is less a failure than a noble experiment gone awry.
  19. Keeping Up with the Steins
    Garry Marshall takes over the movie (no mystery: his son, Scott, directed it), and Keeping Up With the Steins turns into a recipe to forget: chopped liver with ''heart.''
  20. Flawless
    It's left to Caine to wink and nod at his own contribution to real caper classics of the 1960s and '70s, produced with more emphasis on fun and less on instructive fact-finding.
  21. Daybreakers
    Daybreakers turns?into a ponderous apocalyptic chase film -- it's like "Children of Men" with exploding-plasma shock effects.
  22. Trishna
    The shots of urban traffic jams have more spark than the story, which skips from a pregnancy to the filming of a musical to murder - without convincing us of any of it.
  23. Lila Says
    Lila, played by Vahina Giocante, who resembles a sexed-up young Emma Thompson, is a teasing, 16-year-old blond baby doll with a gleam of perception beyond her years.
  24. Pet Sematary
    Fortunately, directing duo Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer get everything absolutely right in their bone-chillingly effective new remake.
  25. Paul
    Graeme and Clive, representatives of a nation of nonbelievers in UFOs and big dinner portions, come to the psychic capital of a country that wants to believe, and they're transformed. In Paul, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost do likewise, in celebration of what the Spielbergian cosmos is all about.
  26. Color Me Kubrick
    The film reveals, rather delectably, how potent the power of suggestion can be in a world gone madly groupie.
  27. My Wife Is an Actress
    With every detail in this clever peekaboo, the sly filmmaker dangles the possibility that fiction is fact and that Yvan and Charlotte are real -- or at least as real as the movies.
  28. Holy Smoke
    Too tightly made not to keep you watching, Holy Smoke is also too hokey and didactic to take seriously.
  29. The Ring
    The best thing about the movie, which is a very elegantly crafted piece of gothic snuff hokum, is the way it teases and intrigues us with the revelation of what's on that tape.
  30. Osmosis Jones
    Oscillates between streaky black comedy and sanitary instruction.
