  1. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    Sky Captain is a gorgeous, funny, and welcome novelty.
  2. Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
    The title Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is a brain banger. But as sci-fi nomenclature goes, it's easy to read--no twistier, certainly, than "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow."
  3. 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.
  4. Silver City
    Silver City may be the mustiest political-conspiracy tale ever filmed; it's like "Chinatown" rewritten by Ralph Nader.
  5. Reconstruction
    Features a supernatural twist that is merely okay, but the film's mood of fractured anxiety and longing made me eager to see what the director, Christoffer Boe, does next.
  6. Criminal
    The performances are winning -- Gyllenhaal is particularly sharp as an aggrieved sibling, and there's mutual zing in her scenes with Reilly.
  7. Cellular
    Chris Evans is blithely likable despite a few faux-Cruise mannerisms, Basinger makes a vividly frightened yet resourceful woman in peril, and William H. Macy scores as a mild L.A. cop who lets out his inner macho.
  8. When Will I Be Loved
    A ripe psychosexual compost heap of a drama that emits a provocative scent of rot and nonsense.

    Resident Evil: Apocalypse
    In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, the undead are back to stumbling in the dark, sometimes even in blurry slo-mo, making the many packs of them about as terrifying as the mobs waiting for Matt and Katie outside the "Today" studio.
  10. The Cookout
    Sends comedy backward in time, and we're in the 1970s, ethno-sitcom style: These Andersons in their out-of-date white, snooty gated community apparently confuse themselves with their forebears on The Jeffersons.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War
    Always entertains, just like ''Pearl Harbor'' and the rest of the best of Hollywood's dumb war movies.
  12. Wicker Park
    It would be tempting to say that fractured time sequences in movies have become a cliché, except that Wicker Park makes your brain spin in surprising and pleasurable ways.
  13. Paparazzi
    It doesn't take long for the film to devolve into a ludicrously far-fetched Celebrity Death Wish.
  14. Vanity Fair
    It borders on perky -- a duller, safer tonal choice for the story of a conniving go-getter whose fall is as precipitous as her rise.
  15. Suspect Zero
    The truth is, the freakiness kinda turns the director on, and he nearly strangles Suspect Zero with love.
  16. The Brown Bunny
    It's hard to deny that Gallo has caught the freedom and melancholy, the intoxicating aimlessness, the lonely twilight beauty of a solo road trip in a way that no previous filmmaker quite has.
  17. Hero
    I wish 'Hero's emotional heat rose more intensely -- more recklessly. There's something grand but distant and almost fetishistic about the operatic solemnity with which Zhang approaches the Rashomonic story of assassins attempting to kill a king.
  18. Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
    There's no enjoyably outlandish hiss to this variation on the formula, and no Ice Cube or Owen Wilson, either. This time, a ship of capitalist fools (and no movie stars, unless you count utility player Morris Chestnut as a headliner) steams along the river in Borneo.
    • 9 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2
    The film's moral? Turn off the TV, young 'uns, and go outside and play! And avoid Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 matinees while you're at it.
  20. End of the Century
    A documentary that digs deep inside this most revolutionary and tortured of punk quartets, it's hard not to feel that the Ramones, who never had a hit record, were the greatest band in 50 years to be stonewalled out of success.
  21. Mean Creek
    Although the talent of a kid with the last name of Culkin may not, at this point, register as such a novelty -- Rory follows brothers Macaulay and Kieran -- there is something precociously mature but natural about the work of this youngest Culkin sibling that stands apart.
  22. Bright Young Things
    Both script and direction are the work of the glittering comedic polymath Stephen Fry.
  23. Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War
    A smashingly effective documentary -- I found it more resonant than ''Fahrenheit 9/11'' -- yet to say that it's preaching to the converted would be generous; it's preaching to a microscopic sliver of the converted.
  24. Red Lights
    It evokes the spirit of Hitchcock and Highsmith.
  25. Exorcist: The Beginning
    The new movie is a dusty piñata stuffed with omens and not much more.
  26. Without a Paddle
    There are some genuinely clever moments of physical comedy, and the inevitable crudeness is offset by winning whimsy. Without has all the freshness of moldering Playboys stashed under a mattress, but it evokes what few boys-will-be-boys larks can: chumminess.
  27. We Don't Live Here Anymore
    The film is at times harrowing to watch, yet it's also wry and delicate and absorbing. It's infused with the messy excitement of imperfect passion.
  28. Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie
    It's all the thrill of watching other people play Uno.
  29. Danny Deckchair
    It's a soothing stoner tableau, a fine dropout fantasy.
  30. The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
    The film's generic feminism pales beside its bloated sense of privilege, only underlined by a nonstop cabaret of sideshow acts.
