  1. The Hills Have Eyes
    Where Craven and his director, Alexandre Aja, may have miscalculated is in making the genetically damaged demons, with their flesh-potato foreheads and minimal verbal skills, into monster action figures who take vengeance on the world that created them. They're not scary because they're victims themselves.
  2. Murder on the Orient Express
    Branagh executes his double duties with a gratifyingly light touch, tweaking the story’s more mothballed elements without burying it all in winky wham-bam modernity.
  3. Nanny McPhee Returns
    Thompson, who also wrote the script, has skittery, baffling fun enjoining her plummy guest actors (including Ralph Fiennes, Rhys Ifans, and Maggie Smith) to play broad Brit types.
  4. Possession
    The movie is intelligent yet lifeless; it's all wisps and abstractions.
  5. Center Stage
    As a Balanchine-like martinet, Peter Gallagher is a hoot, whispering to his minions about good and bad feet.

    Halloween H20: 20 Years Later
    Like Demi Moore leaking tears or Sharon Stone crossing her legs, Jamie Lee Curtis screaming is one of those glorious sights that inspire a generation of moviegoers to binge on popcorn.
  7. I Know What You Did Last Summer
    The story has more holes than the bodies do, but the shocks are efficient, and Party of Five's Jennifer Love Hewitt knows how to scream with soul.
  8. Serendipity
    Serendipity has no business working, but it does. And by the way, Eugene Levy has no business almost stealing the show, but he does, too.
  9. Bring It On
    It's an okay brat movie.
  10. Charlie's Angels
    This new Charlie’s Angels gets very crush-y between silly excess and striving ambition, but even the sugar is flammable.
  11. SuperFly
    Neither as satisfying as the remake of "Shaft" nor as objectionable as the remake of "Death Wish," the second coming of Superfly wants to tap into that same ’70s grindhouse allure and put a similarly slick modern gloss on it. The results are pretty mixed.
  12. Gracie
    You miss the knockabout edge of "Bend It Like Beckham" -- though the ending, in its Pavlovian sports-flick way, pumps you up.
  13. Dark Water
    A shudder-by-numbers pseudo-J-horror gothic, full of supernatural stunts you feel as if you've seen before the movie even gets to them.
  14. Mars Attacks!
    In its nothing's-quite-at-stake way, Mars Attacks! has Tim Burton's flaked-out spirit -- it makes you feel like a very knowing 8-year-old, seeing through the artifice yet believing in it at the same time.
  15. The Fifth Element
    The future-shock details are witty, the sets and skyscapes spectacular. Besson may not be a good director, exactly, but he's a wizard at retrofitting cliches.
  16. Ghost in the Shell
    If there’s anything Sander’s ravishing set pieces fail to sufficiently color in, it’s the movie’s emotional stakes.
  17. Magic Mike's Last Dance
    Last Dance is missing a lot, but it has the moves you mostly came for — and in its final strobe-lit moments, the full release of a Hollywood ending.
  18. Detachment
    When it stays in the classroom, Detachment is a scrappy testament - to the futility of even trying to reach students who are cut off from the possibilities of knowledge, and to the way that our teachers are slowly being driven nuts.
  19. Running with Scissors
    Watching Running With Scissors the movie instead of reading Running With Scissors the best-selling memoir by Augusten Burroughs is like running with a spatula, or maybe some weird toast tongs.

    Central Intelligence
    While not necessarily a diamond-in-the-rough itself, Central Intelligence proves that Johnson has always been at the center of his own ring, in more ways than one. It just took the rest of us (and Hollywood) a little longer to notice.
  21. Last Holiday
    A chaste and tepid remake of a 1950 British comedy.
  22. Insidious
    A haunted-house movie that has some of the most shivery and indelible images I've seen in any horror film in decades. Yes, it's that unsettling.
  23. The Sun Is Also a Star
    The leads are both charming, but they can’t override the tooth-aching sincerity of the script, or the cardboard conflicts that propel it.
  24. Chasing Madoff
    Jeff Prosserman's riveting documentary takes a question that haunted the Bernie Madoff scandal - how did he fool everyone for so long? - and answers it with a decisive "He didn't."
  25. The Iron Lady
    Streep is a pleasure to behold; less so the rest of The Iron Lady.
  26. Once in the Life
    Showcases a trio of terrific performances.
  27. The Princess Diaries
    This charming, if unnecessarily coronation-length production gets the duckling-to-swan ambivalence just right.
  28. Under Siege 2: Dark Territory
    A solidly enjoyable formula thriller.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Longshots
    Hopelessly clichéd.
  30. Exodus: Gods and Kings
    Is it possible to sit through a movie, mentally cataloging its absurdities, and still walk out dazzled? Because that pretty much sums up my experience watching Ridley Scott's eye-candy spectacle Exodus: Gods and Kings, an over-the-top Old Testament epic that's essentially Gladiator with God.
