  1. OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies
    There are more chuckles than laughs, but the film does a witty job of replicating the hermetic, overlit shot language of '60s studio movies.
  2. A Jihad for Love
    Noble in intention but crude in execution.
  3. The Unknown Woman
    Russian-born Xenia Rappoport gives it her tragic-heroine all as an abused Ukraine prostitute-turned-sneaky housemaid in Italy in The Unknown Woman.
  4. Stuck
    Stuart Gordon, the mostly under-the-radar director of "Re-Animator," pops back into view with this amusing trifle -- a piece of scuzzy tabloid noir.
  5. Wanted
    Best of all, there's a lot of Jolie, barrels blazing. The star's fearlessly sexy hauteur is unique in the biz today. And when she works it in Wanted, she kills, bullets optional.
  6. Meet Dave
    this unfairly maligned sci-fi comedy testifies that Eddie Murphy still has the gift of surprise.
  7. Pineapple Express
    It ends up subverting its own subversion, arriving at a place that can only be called conventional.
  8. Gunnin' for That #1 Spot
    Glosses over the kids' lives off the court.
  9. Step Brothers
    Step Brothers is a Judd Apatow production and it's the closest that the Apatow factory has come to spitting out a dumb-and-dumber high-concept comedy.
  10. Quantum of Solace
    The point is, wherever he is, this James Bond is pissed. And that ceaseless anger begins to curdle every sequence that might otherwise bring a little happiness. I mean happiness for us, the viewers.
  11. Brideshead Revisited
    The one performer who seems at home with the gravity of it all is Emma Thompson.
  12. Save Me
    Even those of us who find anti-homosexual ''deprogramming'' to be hideously intolerant and naive may find ourselves oddly relieved that Mark is there (in a Christian rehab center).
  13. The Duchess
    Fiennes speaks with his body what the script cannot formulate about what it's like to be a man apart. The actor creates particulars of time, space, class, and personality with one crook of a finger, one twist of a wrist. I call that nobility of craft; he's the actors' prince.
  14. Stranded: I've Come from a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains
    At once scary and stirring.
  15. I've Loved You So Long
    This is a movie about actors acting; who cares why Juliette was in the pen?
  16. High School Musical 3: Senior Year
    These are standard youth-movie dilemmas, but they're brought to life by the high-energy cast and the musical numbers, which Ortega shoots with electrifying pizzazz.
  17. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
    Escape 2 Africa is pretty tame, but it knows how to keep its own turf tidy.
  18. Transporter 3
    The villainous Polluter-in-Chief is eloquently played by Robert Knepper, familiarly loathsome as T-Bag on Fox's "Prison Break." And when Knepper and Statham get together, there's a fine showdown of grimaces.
  19. Nothing Like the Holidays
    The troubles are broad, the plot twists giant, and the performances cheery in this carol to ethnic pride in Chicago's traditionally Latino Humboldt Park.
  20. Valkyrie
    The mechanics of the actual plot are pretty amazing. Singer has assembled a top-notch international cast.
  21. Good
    Good has a stagy fustiness, but it's worth seeing for Mortensen, who makes this study of a "good German" look creepily contemporary.
  22. Not Easily Broken
    Laughter through tears is director Bill Duke's M.O., and he hits the bull's-eye of that modest target.
  23. Cherry Blossoms
    There's a grace to it all, and moments of oddball poetry.
  24. Paul Blart: Mall Cop
    Has a few surprises in store. The biggest is James, an unexpectedly nimble master of the face-plant, the failed jump, and the lopsided tumble.
  25. Inkheart
    Mirren's all-out display in this distinctly British absurdo-literary extravaganza had me wishing Elinor were my own fabulous auntie and that she'd lend me some magic items from her closet.
  26. New in Town
    A gentle, traditional (like, from the last century) romantic comedy.
  27. Friday the 13th
    However, this film is (be)head and shoulders above the recently reanimated likes of "Prom Night" and "My Bloody Valentine."
  28. Under the Sea 3D
    Offers up dazzling ocean creatures in calmly shifting scenes that could double as the world's most expensive screensaver.
  29. Everlasting Moments
    All staged as a harsh poem of survival, with no great psychological interest, yet the ending carries a surprise feminist tug that’s worth the wait.
  30. Race to Witch Mountain
    The planet-hopping children have special talents -- telekinesis, telepathy etc. -- although it is the high-wattage lovability of Mr Rock that's the real superpower on display here.
