  1. Tigerland
    An affecting, old fashioned, antiwar war story.
  2. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
    Hilariously fake and rude. And thus true and tonic, if you know what I mean.
  3. The Joneses
    This cautionary tale might be easier to swallow if all that stuff didn't look like it came from a Sky Mall catalog.
  4. The Adam Project
    For all its earnest sentiment and questionable science, though, Adam barrels along on movie stars and charm, from futures past and back again.

    Home
    The combination of Home’s layered message, fun score, and clever comedy make it a colorful choice for moviegoers of any age.
  6. Idlewild
    Idlewild is a romp, a ticket to rowdy good times.
  7. Surviving Picasso
    Cool, assured, emotionally remote, Merchant Ivory's Surviving Picasso is never less than watchable, but it's also a cinematic paradox, a movie that works to capture Picasso from every angle yet somehow misses the fire in his belly.
  8. The 33
    An inspired fantasy sequence midway through hints at the more intriguing movie The 33 might have been; instead, its tragedy-to-triumph narrative aims mostly for width, not depth.
  9. The Great Gatsby
    It's a dazzling time capsule of a shimmering era and a devastating look into the dark side of the American dream. Too bad Luhrmann, the caffeinated conductor, doesn't trust that story enough. He'd rather blast your retinas into sugar-shock submission. Uncle, old sport! Uncle!
  10. Ping Pong Playa
    Even the championship showdown feels polite.
  11. Old School
    Under Reitman's deanship, Ferrell lets his freak flag fly and Vaughn unlooses a notably funny, light-on-his-feet lunkheadedness.
  12. City of Angels
    This is the sort of movie in which everyone on screen is swathed in gauzy benevolence. You practically have time to say a prayer in the dead spaces between lines.
  13. Diminished Capacity
    The result is fairly silly slapstick, but Alda, hair disheveled and brow knit with stubborn intent, is both fierce and quietly heartbreaking.
  14. Body Bags
    Gruesome stuff — and yet Body Bags moves along with such jaunty, good bad taste that it’s hard not to smile.
  15. The Men Who Stare at Goats
    A magical-realist sitcom war farce that ends up being about nothing but its own slovenly smugness.
  16. Higher Learning
    Higher Learning starts out as a liberal message movie, but it turns into a demagogic rabble-rouser, a shrewdly incendiary exploitation of these wayward days of rage.
  17. Passion
    Passion turns into vintage De Palma — which is to say, the film seems almost engineered to get you giggling at the extravagance of its absurdity. Any enthusiasm in the viewer is bound to be a shadow of the film's passion for itself.
  18. Dunston Checks In
    Director Ken Kwapis fills the movie with feeble references to Planet of the Apes and King Kong that don’t amuse adults and sail over the heads of tykes who snicker most at the raspberries Dunston blows at anyone he meets.
  19. Magic in the Moonlight
    While it's breezy and funny and perfectly pleasant, you probably won't remember this particular gift by the time the next birthday rolls around.
  20. Hulk
    A comic-book superhero has seldom squandered so much screen time being conflicted about his heritage and destiny -- and I don't mean conflicted in a sexy, Wolverine-y, ''X-Men'' way, either; a big-budget comic-book adaptation has rarely felt so humorless and intellectually defensive about its own pulpy roots.
  21. Assassination Nation
    There’s a kinetic energy in Levinson’s telling, and real catharsis in a riotous final sequence that feels all the more triumphant for the unlikeliness of such a bloody, happy ending.
  22. Volcano
    I had a pretty good time at Volcano. The reason I didn't have a better time is that the characters aren't just schlocky, they're boring.
  23. To Rome with Love
    Woody Allen has become such a beguiling travel agent that he rolls through these stories with a relaxed effervescence that is rather infectious.
  24. And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen...
    The director has said that the plot was influenced by a real English thief named Valentin who showed up at his door one day to repay money stolen a decade earlier.
  25. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc
    There's precious little in Luc Besson's solemnly inflated, battle-weary historical epic.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Deep Blue Sea
    How refreshing: a big-budget, F/X-happy action flick that actually appears to be intentionally stupid.
  27. Snow Cake
    An awfully tidy, infernally sparkly study in skewed blessings, made manifest by Committed Acting from Sigourney Weaver.
  28. Imagine That
    There's something sweet about the way that Murphy throws himself into this piffle. Thomas Haden Church does too.
  29. Puncture
    Out from behind his Captain America shield, Chris Evans proves a quirky and compelling actor as Mike Weiss, a personal-injury lawyer who spends most of his time doing drugs.
  30. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
    In the end, Walter Mitty is a film about acting out our dreams. But Stiller never quite shows us the soul of his dreamer.
