  1. Infamous
    The added value that writer-director Douglas McGrath has in mind is gossip -- and a goggly interest in gossip becomes the glittering gimmick of Infamous.
  2. Star Trek Beyond
    Beyond is more fun than deep. It’s lightweight, zero-gravity Trek that is, for the most part, devoid of the sort of Big Ideas and knotty existential questions that creator Gene Roddenberry specialized in.
  3. North Country
    Might have been richer, tougher, more honestly liberal if it had revealed a few more shades of gray among the men.
  4. Bullhead
    Overheated yet bizarrely opaque criminal character study from Belgium.
  5. Like Crazy
    Like Crazy tells the truth, simply: Love is thrilling. And - just because of the way life happens - sometimes love hurts.

    Equity
    Unfortunately, Equity sometimes buckles under the weight of its self-imposed, gendered duty. In attempting to say so much about women vs. women in a cutthroat industry, it paints itself almost too seriously.
  7. The Hunger Games
    A muscular, honorable, unflinching translation of Collins' vision. It's brutal where it needs to be, particularly when children fight and bleed.
  8. A Housekeeper
    By the end, you may marvel at the film's worldly-wise wink of maturity. You may also think, Is that all?
  9. The War Zone
    Roth, there's no denying, creates considerable suspense out of our desire to confront the forbidden.
  10. In My Skin
    An experience you won't easily shake.
  11. The Yes Men
    When they're good, the Yes Men are astonishing, anarchic sights to behold.
  12. Jump Tomorrow
    There's a certain breed of annoying indie movie in which a character's shyness is portrayed in a manner so coy that it becomes a reverse form of exhibitionism. Jump Tomorrow is that kind of movie.
  13. The American President
    In the end, the movie says that the President's private life matters, all right -- that Shepherd should get the girl and reestablish his leadership by giving in to the noble liberal he always was inside. Even for a modern Capra fable, that's a bit much to swallow.
  14. Valentino: The Last Emperor
    Film music by Nino Rota provides a Fellini overlay.
  15. A Somewhat Gentle Man
    Skarsgard's utter finesse in the role provides a satisfying warmth.
  16. Casino Jack and the United States of Money
    Casino Jack is really a look at how the culture of Washington was rebuilt to sell itself to the highest bidder.
  17. Afterglow
    Romantic comedies usually strike one or two moods, but in Afterglow, the writer-director Alan Rudolph runs through rainbows of feeling in a single scene.
  18. Class Action Park
    The movie's just pure fun; a cock-eyed Valentine to a place so outrageous that death or dismemberment was an actual acceptable risk — but so was the chance to live, as one former security guard fondly recalls, in “an ‘80s movie that was real life. And it will never happen again.”
  19. Applause
    In his debut feature, the director is wise enough to move his hand-held camera wherever Steen wants to go.
  20. August Evening
    The filmmaker of August Evening creates a succession of quiet, elliptical scenes that accrue into an affecting big picture of family ties and immigrant experience.
  21. Babe: Pig in the City
    Don’t miss this astonishingly bleak, inventive, funny, sumptuously designed film.
  22. Braveheart
    Braveheart features some of the most enthralling combat sequences in years, and the excessive ferocity of the violence is part of the thrill.
  23. Pierrepoint
    This measured bio-production might be viewed as a lesser companion piece to "Vera Drake" -- although in the case of Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman, all the period-piece tastefulness makes for a story more instructive than emotionally tangible.
  24. Crazy, Stupid, Love
    Nothing more (or less) than an enchanting light comedy of romantic confusion... It's a movie that understands love because it understands pain.
  25. Deepwater Horizon
    What works almost disturbingly well is the way Berg calibrates his delivery of the disaster while still holding on to the human scale of it.
  26. Lamb
    The movie's stark Nordic mood and obscure mystery are as coolly immersive as nearly anything on screen this year — and in the hammy world of supernatural horror, that ambiguity alone feels like a small, spooky gift.
  27. Fighting with My Family
    Most of Fighting’s narrative moves are as choreographed as any undercard match — and the outcome as clearly forecast — but the tears brought on by the movie’s last ten minutes of rhinestoned Rocky triumph taste salty, and real.
  28. End of Watch
    Nerve-rattling in the best way, the sharp, visceral urban police procedural End of Watch is one of the best American cop movies I've seen in a long time.
  29. Manhunt
    Still, there are enough glimpses of the old master peeking through that it’s hard not to have a bit of a good time. It turns out that even second-rate (okay, third-rate) Woo has its moments.
  30. Apocalypto
    There's so much dark material jammed into this complicated, conflicted, challenging, and charismatic man's (Gibson) own noggin that sometimes he knows not, I think, what he's done. Here, behold, Mel Gibson has made the weirdest, most violent movie of the year.
