  1. Enemy at the Gates
    The one valuable prize for audiences in this war pic Cracker Jack box is Jude Law. Once again the talented Mr. Law makes more of a role than most movies know what to do with.
  2. Knock Knock
    Knock Knock is a pretty flimsy erotic thriller, but thanks to Reeves’ oaken obliviousness it’s also got a few moments of deliciously trashy fun.
  3. Humor Me
    Clement channels his wry hangdog humor into a slightly more grounded performance than he often gives. His charm and absurdist tendencies help elevate Nate from a potentially self-centered man-child to a lost soul who is genuinely compelling.
  4. Rent
    The movie is literally a series of showstoppers, unified by the impulse to turn life, at its scruffiest, into theater - into a rhapsody of the everyday.
  5. Another Stakeout
    There’s one funny bit in Another Stakeout — a dysfunctional dinner party — but director John Badham puts more energy into high-tech chase sequences featuring the neighborhood pets than he does into refining the comic chemistry of his stars.
  6. Free State of Jones
    Ross wants to shake up the format­—notably with a few scenes set 85 years after the war—but like so many directors who have tackled ­historical social issues before him, he confuses noble, cornball sermonizing for art.
  7. Sharp Stick
    The movie's final frame asks us to believe that Sarah Jo has finally, ecstatically found herself; by then, whatever reason we have for watching is already long lost.
  8. Mr. Popper's Penguins
    If you can watch Popper's most trusted penguin finally get to fly and feel like you're soaring right up there with her, then you may just let this likable trifle whisk you back to childhood.

    I Trust You to Kill Me
    Even when he looks like a complete dolt, Sutherland still comes off sympathetically, as a cool guy.
  10. Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween
    The real magic of the movie comes in its echoes of the first — namely, Black’s performance as the Goosebumps mastermind.
  11. A Good Woman
    British director Mike Barker and magpie New York screenwriter Howard Himelstein, have taken "Lady Windermere's Fan" - Wilde's first big stage success, written in 1892 - and pulped it senseless in the name of puttin' on the charm.
  12. The Killer Inside Me
    The Killer Inside Me may be the darkest film noir ever made.
  13. The Rocker
    The only brazen thing about the film is how shamelessly it rips off "School of Rock."
  14. Finding Your Feet
    Finding Your Feet leans heavily on its cast of British screen greats. Luckily, Staunton, Imrie, Spall, Lumley et al are up to the task of dancing around most of the plot’s more tired or ill-considered moments.
  15. The Tender Bar
    Affleck and Clooney make sense as collaborators; both of them became directors to get out of the way of their public images. Hopefully, the next time they decide to work together, they'll lean even further into the intimacies of a setting like the Dickens, a universe unto itself.
  16. Bachelorette
    Yet if Bachelorette takes the form of a romantic ensemble comedy, it's purged of any true romantic feeling. You'll laugh, maybe a lot, but you won't feel great about it in the morning.
  17. Muppets from Space
    The Muppets were once devilish and sly, but this ploddingly whimsical musical caper, which uses too many ’70s soul songs to signify its rainbow-demographic cred, is enough to make you want to see them get slapped around by the Teletubbies (at this point, a far funkier crew).
  18. Valley Girl
    As it stands, the movie is just as slick as the lifestyle it supposedly mocks.
    • 53 Metascore

    A Goofy Movie
    For parents, the burning issue ignited by A Goofy Movie is ”Will it buy us 78 minutes of peace and quiet?” Provided the kids are old enough to follow a wandering story line that centers on single father Goofy’s adolescent son Max and his quest for peer acceptance as well as he love of a pert humanoid bitch (in the doggy sense), the answer is yes.
  20. Gnomeo and Juliet
    Every movie about cuddly dwarf statues in an English garden should have music this big.
  21. Wanderlust
    I don't know what tools of the trade Paul Rudd and director David Wain share to dream up the kind of inspired nutso stuff Rudd has done in smart-funny-raunchy winners like "Wet Hot American Summer" and "Role Models." But whatever it is, the two are in a groove - and backed up by some blissed-out creative co-conspirators.
  22. Five Feet Apart
    It’s just another three-hankie teen weepie, albeit one with the saving grace of another excellent Haley Lu Richardson performance that gooses the film just past serviceable into the realm of slightly better than average.
  23. Deep Water
    Deep Water isn't really thrilling or erotic, but it accomplishes a kind of diagonal camp sincerity, plummeting its glamorous characters into ever-tawdrier situations. I wouldn't marry it, but I wouldn't kill it. Remind me, what's the third option?
  24. Pokémon Detective Pikachu
    As the wisecracking voice of Pikachu, Ryan Reynolds deserves some sort of special citation for doing the best he can without Deadpool’s f-bombs (or a decent script) to lean on. But the main problem is that the film’s gumball-mayhem plot is so frenetic that it’s impossible to determine if it makes a lick of sense. Maybe that was the point.
  25. The Lucky Ones
    The Lucky Ones isn't dull, and the actors do quite nicely, especially McAdams, who's feisty, gorgeous, and as mercurial as a mood ring.
  26. The Book of Eli
    A ponderous dystopian bummer that might be described as "The Road Warrior" without car chases, or "The Road" without humanity.
  27. Australia
    Long before the second hour of Australia (which feels like the fifth), it's clear that Luhrmann hasn't found a satisfactory way to make a movie nearly as ballsy -- or coherent -- as he wants his creation to be.
  28. O
    To an astonishing degree, O gets the tragic Shakespeare mood, that somber stentorian passion born of hidden slivers of ambition and betrayal.
  29. 40 Days and 40 Nights
    A kinder, gentler teensploitation comedy, but Hartnett's Matt, at least, invites the audience to graduate to something better.
  30. Jig
    They're all fascinating 
 subjects - or would be if Jig didn't dance around their personal stories in favor of overheated waiting-for-the-scores suspense.
