  1. Malibu's Most Wanted
    A send-up of rap personality in which no one actually has a personality. The joke, alas, is on the movie.
  2. Love and Diane
    Riveting family portrait.
  3. A Mighty Wind
    A movie that re-creates its object of satire with such pitch-perfect flair that it all but erases the line between derision and love.
  4. Bulletproof Monk
    As ungainly in its jammed-together East-meets-West-ness as Steven Seagal in a yoga pose.
  5. The Young Unknowns
    There's a shocking, casual quality to the self-destructive narcissism of the pretty, petty kids squandering their lives in the L.A. sunshine of The Young Unknowns.
  6. XX/XY
    Emotional presence and a sophisticated understanding of commitment-phobia (as something other than a comedic punchline or an excuse for sex scenes) distinguishes this intense, contained drama, as does the unforced, sensual, and sensitive cinematography of Uta Briesewitz.
  7. Better Luck Tomorrow
    Lin works with a rhythmic observational flair that outweighs the movie's flaws. It's a long way from Long Duk Dong.
  8. Ghosts of the Abyss
    Cameron wants to take the audience ''back to 'Titanic,''' but the journey's magic is hemmed in, paradoxically, by the transcendence of his previous effort; surely he must know that a lot of us never left.
  9. Anger Management
    The two XXL personalities are in fit, fighting form in a comedy as bracing and furiously right for the moment as it is broad and huggable.
  10. House of 1000 Corpses
    Isn't coherent, exactly, but what dripping-ghoul horror movie is these days? The new rule is, It's not hip to make sense when you're raising hell.
  11. DysFunktional Family
    That Griffin tells some of the most intolerant jokes since Andrew Dice Clay should hardly obscure his talent, even if it does tarnish it.
  12. The Man Without a Past
    The message, if there must be one, of this marvelous, stubbornly personal movie is that there is a spark in every soul.
  13. Phone Booth
    It's an energetic stunt of a movie, and it wants to make us sweat like it's 1974.
  14. What a Girl Wants
    In her sassy but scrubbed way, Bynes is a real charmer, and What a Girl Wants is a likable throwaway.
  15. A Man Apart
    Sour, sadistic, and stale from sitting on the shelf since the pre-''XXX'' era -- an era I'm starting to miss.
  16. Cowboy Bebop the Movie: Knockin' on Heaven's Door
    When Bebop's anime characters stand still, chirping their strangely stilted, dubbed talk and not moving their strangely blank faces, I feel lost on Mars myself.
  17. Cet amour-là
    You can forget about veracity, since this gauzy and sometimes dopey romanticization can't be trusted.
  18. Fellini: I'm a Born Liar
    It's a messy, entertaining documentary rooted in -- though not limited to -- the iconically indulgent years of Fellini's later career.
  19. The Good Thief
    The trouble with all this is that it's thin movie tinsel that, while lovingly polished, never becomes more than tinsel. The Good Thief has a glib stylishness (the rapid freeze-frames at the end of scenes signify...nothing), yet it lacks a blast of reality to balance its fable.
  20. Stevie
    Gripping in its intimacy.
  21. Assassination Tango
    Acting doesn't get more personal, or much greater.
  22. The Core
    It's a schlockier ''Armageddon'' crossed with ''Fantastic Voyage,'' minus the fun.
  23. Head of State
    Rock and Mac exult in the kind of highly charged verbal and physical antics that are star-turn rewards for performers currently at the tops of their games.
  24. Raising Victor Vargas
    The writer-director, Peter Sollett, cast the film with kids from his own neighborhood, who give themselves over to the camera with a spirit of improvised play that morphs into vivid, layered acting.
  25. Basic
    Another depressingly empty action thriller.
  26. Piglet's Big Movie
    A collection of shorts, here presented as flashbacks. All three derive from A.A. Milne's original tales, but retain only a smidgen of his droll, easy-chair wit.
  27. Chuen jik sat sau
    Too scattershot to take hold.
  28. Boat Trip
    Had the ghost of Paul Lynde swanned by in a caftan-clad cameo, you couldn't find a more outdated, miscalculated collection of stale, queen-size stereotypes than those trotted out on this ship of fools.
  29. View from the Top
    A romantic comedy with all the confectionary value of one of those watery diet shakes; it practically evaporates while you're watching it.
  30. Dreamcatcher
    The nightmare is that the live guys in this Dreamcatcher lose the battle the minute the mechanical worm turns.
