  1. In My Country
    In My Country doesn't so much explore as use the tragedy of black South Africa to give its heroine a righteous slap of nobility.
  2. The Boys & Girl from County Clare
    Feel-good ethnocomedy.
  3. Guess Who
    Guess Who, with its PG-13 putdowns, turns into the kind of love story that Hollywood feels most comfortable with: a buddy movie, salt-and-pepper variety. All that's missing is the cop car.
  4. Beauty Shop
    It's a boisterous and amiable movie but not, in the end, a very funny one.
  5. Sin City
    Glued tightly from page to screen, Sin City is so seduced by the visual possibilities of sin that style becomes its own vice.
  6. Sahara
    This insanely busy, exceedingly long, and sometimes endearingly preposterous rendering has simply gotten the directions reversed in its insistence on sticking only to where men-who-make-adventure-flicks have gone before.
  7. One Missed Call
    One Missed Call is so unoriginal that the movie could almost be a parody of J-horror tropes, yet Miike, for a while at least, stages it with a dread-soaked visual flair that allows you to enjoy being manipulated.
  8. The Longest Yard
    Each joke and one-liner is a made-for-HBO zinger, each scene with Sandler a reaffirmation of the old friendship between the two successful SNL alums.
  9. Yes
    Parse the philosophy behind the spill of words, though, and you'll find intellectual jumble, junk. Better to nod to Yes as a drowsing chant than take it seriously as a statement of global concerns.
  10. Rebound
    The whole thing feels like a half-day of community service, which Lawrence walks through good-naturedly.
  11. Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
    While sloppier than the sloppiest of seconds, is laudable in one important regard: Its obsession with the male body.
  12. Pulse
    Nothing in the two snail-paced hours of Pulse makes close to a shred of sense?
  13. The Brothers Grimm
    Strenous yet flat, The Brothers Grimm is a let's-see-what-sticks spectacle that, coming from Terry Gilliam, is more grim than "Grimm."

    Transporter 2
    The greatest thing about the movie is Statham, a charismatic silent, deadly type who deserves to take the wheel behind a better franchise.
  15. Thumbsucker
    Pucci proves to be one of the most charismatic male ingenues since Johnny Depp.
  16. The Thing About My Folks
    Thing is Woody Allen on a third-grade reading level. Neurosis abounds, but awareness doesn't, and certain ''jokes'' demand additional therapy.
  17. Flightplan
    Since Foster plays warming-up-for-a-straitjacket panic with a clenched intensity rare to behold in a Hollywood actress, I, for one, was rooting for the radical -- that is, nuthouse -- option.
  18. Two for the Money
    Sports betting is a great subject for a movie, but Two for the Money is short on the number-crunching nitty-gritty.
  19. Elizabethtown
    Think of Elizabethtown as Cameron Crowe's rambling amateur travelogue, one from a well-liked professional filmmaker momentarily so distracted by private notes scrawled on his souvenir map that he gets lost en route to telling his story of self-renewal. This undershaped, overlong warmedy is an homage to the memory of his late father.

    Doom
    By hewing close to James Cameron's "Aliens" playbook, Doom manages to escape the game-to-movie curse that afflicted "Resident Evil," "House of the Dead," and, well, every other movie based on a game.
    • 59 Metascore

    Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story
    One more feel-great sports movie with a teen-poetry title and Kurt Russell will have himself a trilogy.
  22. Prime
    Not one bit of the story tracks. But with these women in these roles, you're asking for truth?
  23. Get Rich or Die Tryin'
    Neither powerful nor interesting. It is a run-of-the-mill movie ''product'' developed as part of a 50 Cent marketing plan.
  24. The Kid & I
    Wayne's World's Penelope Spheeris directs and also plays herself, in a movie with a message as self-congratulatory as it is meta: All problems are surmountable when selfless Hollywooders work extra, extra hard, pulling together ''for the kid.''
  25. Memoirs of a Geisha
    Not since "Snow Falling on Cedars" have I seen so pedigreed a lit-pic sit there like such an inert teapot, available only to be admired for its mysterious, ineffable Asian teapotness.
  26. 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.
  27. Go for Zucker
    Funny, director and co-writer Dani Levy suggests with no little coldness, how the scent of money can do what religion, ideology, and ethical principles cannot.

    Annapolis
    Compellingly reserved and inscrutable at the start, Franco starts to lose us by the second hour, when his character's still not showing up for roll call on time, and isn't charismatic enough to bring us over to his side.
  29. Big Momma's House 2
    House 2 may never elicit more than mild chuckles, but when Momma teaches the Fullers a few lessons about family, it's heartfelt without being syrupy.
  30. Something New
    A shaky piece of work, with stumpy cinematography, choppy edits, speechy dialogue, and loose plotlines. And yet: There's an easygoing authenticity to the depiction of Kenya and her world that coexists with the picture's many weaknesses.
