  1. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies
    The meta jokes flow like Mountain Dew — this is a rollicking, goofy superhero send-up that never overstays its welcome.

    The Drop
    While Gandolfini fills in the gaps and silences, Rapace never colors in her underwritten character, making her a glorified MacGuffin who hangs around far too long.
  3. The Company Men
    Kevin Costner, as Bobby's carpenter brother-in-law, does the finest character acting of his career.
  4. Chicago 10
    Chicago 10 is well worth seeing, if only because a good half of the film is devoted to extraordinary footage of the four days of rage that spawned the trial.
  5. The Wild Thornberrys Movie
    An average kid-empowerment fantasy with slightly above-average brains.
  6. Divided We Fall
    The tonal elegance of this black comedy set in a dark time -- is boldly dependent on performances that tug at taut lines of moral complexity.
  7. Kill Bill: Vol. 1
    The film may be bloody, but it's also bloody gorgeous: a grandly fetishized epic of cinematic aggression. It's a tale of vengeance that hinges on Tarantino's love of ferocity as spectacle -- his immersion in action and exploitation, his addiction to the jazzy catharsis of junk-film kicks.
  8. Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself
    Too chicly depressive -- and, for the most part, too dull -- to bear.

      Ty Burr
    Salvador
    It serves as testimony to the ghosts that continue to haunt such men as ex-senator Bob Kerrey.
  10. The Monster
    Like "The Strangers," the result is a simple but skillfully told shocker.
  11. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
    The first rock & roll kung fu videogame youth love story.
  12. The Go-Getter
    The Go-Getter travels, but it doesn't go anywhere.

    Fear(s) of the Dark
    Feels like a nonstarter.
  14. A League of Their Own
    From its jokey, one-note characters to its endless baseball montages, A League of Their Own is all flash, all surface.

    East of Shanghai
    The director's handle on visual storytelling remains strong, but at this point, he hasn't quite figured out how to direct dialogue, which is a massive problem for a movie with so much talking.
  16. Cha Cha Real Smooth
    Cha Cha feels like both a fitting showcase for a young auteur like Raiff and a larger marker of how much movie masculinity has evolved: a real-smooth manifesto for the anti-toxic man.
  17. Crazy Love
    The tale itself is so spectacularly perverse, and the film stays so authentically close to the personalities involved, that you don't feel dirty -- you feel cleansed.
  18. Our Souls at Night
    The real draw is seeing these two legends together again.
  19. The Exploding Girl
    Gray has an artful, understated way of conveying what's going ?on inside, often simply by focusing his camera on Kazan.
  20. Starter for 10
    There's a tidiness and affection to this British homage to John Hughes movies.
  21. 22 July
    Taken together, the film is kaleidoscopic, sober, and also a bit glib. 22 July is exceptionally choreographed and tough to sit through, but it also leaves an uneasy, bitter aftertaste knowing that the movie is probably exactly the kind of continued attention a deranged narcissist like Breivik would have wanted.
  22. The Bridges of Madison County
    To say that Eastwood, who directed, has done a first-rate job of adaptation fails to do him justice. What he's brought off is closer to alchemy.
  23. Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator
    Had ''Boogie Nights'' been the tale of a California dreamer with a really long skateboard, the movie's delirious first half would have been ''Dogtown and Z-Boys,'' and its downbeat conclusion would be Stoked.
  24. The Cuckoo
    A stirring action movie -- in the international manner of ''The Fast Runner'' or ''No Man's Land."
  25. Adorenarin doraibu
    Clever, laid-back.
  26. Monsieur Ibrahim
    The movie is sometimes profound in its simple, optimistic message of friendship -- and sometimes it's plain simple.
  27. Changing Lanes
    Teasing drama whose relentless good-deed/bad-deed reversals are just interesting enough to make a sinner like me pray for an even more interesting, less symmetrical, less obviously cross-shaped creation.
  28. Ong Bak
    Ong-Bak (taken from the name of the sacred statue) is delivered raw, with an on-the-fly compositional approach from director Prachya Pinkaew that includes dim lighting and jumbled editing.
  29. Compliance
    With a slow, relentless buildup focused on sexual humiliation, Compliance intensifies the "requests" put on Sandra, and eventually other employees, to behave immorally in the name of cooperation.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    A Boy and His Dog
    Jones directed and scripted this mordant sci-fi comedy from a novella by Harlan Ellison; the satire gets a trifle woozy in the picture’s last third, but the film is redeemed by one of the great bad-taste endings of recent cinema.
