  1. Greetings from Tim Buckley
    Penn Badgley saunters around with an air of spooky self-possession, and he does a dead-on impersonation of Buckley's high-vibrato wail.
  2. Coach Carter
    Jackson, though, does lend this earnest formula flick a core of conviction.
  3. Assisted Living
    Parts of the film play like the world's slowest and most insensitive reality show (Who Wants to Be an Octogenarian?).
  4. High School Musical 3: Senior Year
    These are standard youth-movie dilemmas, but they're brought to life by the high-energy cast and the musical numbers, which Ortega shoots with electrifying pizzazz.
  5. Somebody I Used to Know
    There's a low-key charm to the movie's knowing spin on familiar beats, and far more chaotic non-sexual nudity than Julia Roberts would ever allow in her contract.
  6. The Great New Wonderful
    Working from a stagy script by Sam Catlin, director Danny Leiner uses a dainty palette of tristesse (untouched when he made Dude, Where's My Car?) to suggest that the shadow of 9/11 makes every discontent more pathetic.
  7. The People Under the Stairs
    If there were truth in advertising, The People Under the Stairs would be called The Not Very Scary Movie Set Inside a Grungy, Badly Lit House.
  8. The Dinner
    On paper, writer-director Oren Moverman’s The Dinner has all the ingredients for what should be a four-star feast. But from the opening course, it’s clear that something has gone wrong in the kitchen. Moverman, the chef, has tried to make his creation too clever and complicated.
  9. Home for the Holidays
    Foster, working from a patchy, meandering script by W.D. Richter, produces scene after scene of rudderless banter. The movie is all asides, all nattering; the actors seem lost in their busy, fractious shticks.
  10. Confetti
    Must viewing for the Bridezillas set, this winning pageant of gaudy bad taste is the work of some of the U.K.'s most popular comedy performers.
  11. A Walk Among the Tombstones
    As a throwback to a type of nasty, ugly crime film of yesteryear, A Walk Among the Tombstones cleans up.
  12. Morning Glory
    Where Broadcast News mourned the trivialization of the nightly news, Morning Glory asks you to learn to stop worrying and love the trivia.
  13. Traveller
    This fresh and interesting story about a tight-knit clan of Irish grifters in the rural South who make their living scamming is a ''con men on the road'' picture all the more welcome during a season of junky action thrillers and indie-style explorations of kinky sex.
  14. Viper Club
    Viper Club is an earnest and often engaging film that’s undeniably heartfelt. It’s capital-I important and timely. But without its star’s passionate, nuanced performance, it would run the risk of being a bit generic and forgettable.
  15. The Last Kiss
    An alarming male wallow passing as a fetching date-night dramedy.
  16. The Man from Elysian Fields
    A pompous and garbled parable about how terribly, terribly difficult it is to make it as a creative artist, and how important it is to maintain high standards of haberdashery.
  17. Up at the Villa
    Politics is almost an afterthought in this balky, attenuated film.
  18. Wind
    Wind sometimes dawdles, but it’s a sports movie with soul.
  19. Wrath of Man
    Wrath is just another loose bag of lizard-brain thrills and wood-block dialogue: too ugly to be camp, too grimly familiar to feel new.
  20. Today's Special
    The cooking scenes are fun, but Samir's reawakening and romance with a co-worker (Jess Weixler) hold about as many surprises as a prix fixe meal.
  21. Mascots
    If you’re a Guest devotee, you’ll be in the stands cheering; otherwise, Mascots feels like a bit of a retread.
  22. Last Chance Harvey
    Hoffman and Thompson are each good enough to bring out a glow in the other.
  23. Horrible Bosses
    A bouncy, well-built, delightfully nasty tale of resentment, desperation, and amoral revenge that does for employer-employee relations what Danny DeVito and Bette Midler did for the bonds of matrimony in the great 1986 Zucker brothers comedy "Ruthless People."
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Mama
    Nothing in the movie is quite original, yet Muschietti, expanding his original short, knows how to stage a rip-off with frightening verve.
  25. The Company You Keep
    Shia LaBeouf, who appears to be on hand to prove that a movie with a crusading newspaper reporter can still exist, perks up his scenes, and Redford acts with his usual hyperalert, placid control.
  26. Not Without My Daughter
    It would all be worth getting mad over were the film not so plodding or so obvious in its tactics.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Everything's Gone Green
    The story -- is slight, but an appealing cast and lots of scenic leafery make Green feel fresh.
  28. Forks Over Knives
    So scrupulously researched and argued that only a fool would ignore its findings.
  29. Cet amour-là
    You can forget about veracity, since this gauzy and sometimes dopey romanticization can't be trusted.
  30. Dark Blue
    Goes where all too few films dare to venture these days -- into the heart of moral darkness.
