  1. It Takes Two
    It seems only fitting that the flavorless Guttenberg would land in this smooth tapioca concoction, but Alley deserves better.
  2. Lethal Weapon 3
    The movie zips around without any true forward momentum. The stars carry you along, though.
  3. Quick Change
    Quick Change starts out fast and loose — it gets the audience primed for a ripsnorting caper comedy. Yet almost nothing that follows is as clever, as surprising, or as casually anarchic as that nifty opening sequence. Murray himself served as codirector, and though he doesn't do anything terribly wrong, the movie lacks comic zest.
  4. Telling Lies in America
    Kevin Bacon's passionate, sharply drawn portrayal of Billy Magic, a slick, finger-snapping, payola-pocketing disc jockey in early 1960s Cleveland, is the best thing about this conventional but heartfelt semiautobiographical coming-of-age story
  5. Eat Pray Love
    If only Roberts' warmth, coupled with Javier Bardem's scruffy sexiness as Felipe, were enough to compensate for the folded-map flatness of this production.
  6. Knight and Day
    In this oddly uninvolving caper, the size of skulls makes its own statement: The producers assume that audience interest in movie stars is bigger than audience interest in characters.
  7. Survival of the Dead
    There are some memorable images, including the sight of a beautiful, horse-riding ''dead head.'' But for much of the movie, Van Sprang's zombie fatigue seems to be an echo of Romero's own.
  8. The Joneses
    This cautionary tale might be easier to swallow if all that stuff didn't look like it came from a Sky Mall catalog.
  9. The Losers
    Basically, it's "The A-Team" meets "Rambo" meets "Mission: Impossible," with a mission that's one part trickiness, four parts blowing stuff up.

    Flavors
    Earnest and intermittently diverting, this cheerful little movie isn't the sort of thing you see every day.
  11. Eros
    For the invited filmmaker, the opportunity to make a statement is surely a thrill, but for the viewer - who can't pause indefinitely, as with a book, between stories - the focus-shifting is a demand.
  12. Peaceful Warrior
    In the ranks of improbable gymnastics coaches, Nick Nolte falls just below the cartoon version of Mr. T.
  13. House of Sand
    The House of Sand's director, Andrucha Waddington, lays on the Awesome Visual Poetry and throws in a welter of story gimmicks, but it's all a bit too fancifully arid.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Arthur and the Invisibles
    "The Professional's" Luc Besson has made a fair share of artfully bad movies. Arthur and the Invisibles -- half-live-action, half-CG kid's adventure -- is (by a hair) more bad-bad, like "The Fifth Element," than good-bad, like "The Big Blue."
  15. Provoked: A True Story
    Based on a true story, this Indian variation on a theme of "The Burning Bed" emphasizes the psychological freedom the inmate finds behind bars.
  16. How About You ...
    As the reigning inhabitant, Redgrave adopts the swanning gestures of Maggie Smith in this mild adaptation of a Maeve Binchy story.
  17. Lymelife
    Overworked if heartfelt indie.
  18. Mesrine: Killer Instinct
    The events may be accurate, but Mesrine is so episodic that it's slightly maddening to watch.
  19. Daddy Longlegs
    A disconcertingly jumpy tale of breathtakingly crummy parenting, the windblown movie dares a tolerant audience not to call Child Services.
  20. City Island
    Andy Garcia reminds you of what a cunning, likable actor he can be.
  21. Breaking Upwards
    Fitfully amusing, mostly annoying rom-com.
  22. La mission
    The warmth comes through, even if the storytelling is simplistic and clichéd.
  23. Letters to God
    A bland, pious yet touching faith-based tearjerker.
  24. The City of Your Final Destination
    Lovely to look at -- and languid to the point of stultifying torpor, as interesting characters make speeches to one another about life, love, and literature.
  25. Harry Brown
    Part punk-drab British art-house portrait of underclass despair, part bloody vigilante pic, Harry Brown is shakily held together by industrial-strength sound design and the expertly employed theatrics of Michael Caine in the title role.
  26. Iron Man 2
    Downey's head and heart are in the right place, but the movie is more in pieces than whole, and more about iron than about men.
  27. Mother and Child
    The hothouse drama Mother and Child is organized like a femme-friendly spa that specializes in treatments for the psyche rather than the skin. Soft New Agey music tinkles intrusively. Sore spots are prodded and massaged. Clients pass one another in the changing room. The ritual is exquisite to some, and excruciating to others.
  28. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
    A lot of Money Never Sleeps - too much - is about Gekko père's desire to reconnect with his very angry daughter.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Never Let Me Go
    It's a very tony fantasy of class oppression and fascist medical exploitation (themes that may speak louder in England), but it's a lyrically inert movie.
  30. I Am Love
    The film is almost deliriously stylish, which helps mask the silliness. But the bellowing music, by John Adams, is infuriatingly intrusive -- which undoes the visual good.
